Her rival’s primary vote in Deakin is just 41.51% – the tipping point.
It means Ness can win from a primary as low as the mid-teens! 🤯

RFK, Jr. claimed his anti-vax work was a labor of love that cost him friendships. He said he’d never made money from it. But now he admits he made (checks notes) $1.2 million from it. How do you “forget” about that much money?

"Back on track" in practical terms means sacking public servants and reverting to usual Coalition practice of spending money on external consultants instead. It's an arid debate when the real problem neither side is addressing is the revenue side of the budget (tax) not the expense side (services).

Many Australians who'd like to buy a house don't actually have $50K sitting in their super account.

That means no royalties were paid on $111 billion worth of gas exported from WA.
