Tell me again how the 'progressive' party won the election...
Looks like Labor is about to approve the North West shelf gas expansion, which among bad news for the planet and WA energy costs is terrible for the nearby Murujuga rock art - which is so old, it has one of the first known depictions of the human face

Only in Australia can a completely shit political party get the majority of media attention prior to an election.
Get decimated in that election.
Then get the majority of attention after a catastrophic loss in the election.
The Australian media is obsessed with moral and intellectual bankruptcy.

In Crikey, Catri Menzies-Pike and I wrote about Creative Australia's decision to drop Khaled Sabsabi from the Venice Biennale. If conservative media is going to dictate cultural policy, Creative Australia might as well pack up and call it a day www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/17/k...
Instead of defending its artists, Creative Australia hangs Sabsabi and Dagostino out to dry
If conservative media is going to dictate cultural policy, Australian culture will face a reckoning.

If the ABC is going to give softball interviews to "former Home Affairs secretary" Mike Pezzullo, they should really disclose to readers that he was sacked from that job for 14 breaches of the Code of Conduct

So many people never stop to think what the govt departments are actually *doing*. Like, do you want your tax returns on time? Pensions paid? Safe airlines? Flu vaccines available cheaply outside Sydney and Melbourne? These things don't happen by accident, public servants make it happen!

Ironic that Peter Dutton has had a career on public purse his whole adult working life.
First a publicly funded QLD cop and then 23 Years in Parliament paid for by the taxpayer.

When people on the left criticise Albo and don’t promote his policy successes, they help people in the centre feel comfortable voting LNP.
The right have played a long game. The left need to do the same. Promote the successes, highlight the problems with LNP policies. Rome was not built in a day.

Half the Caucus are women and nearly half the Ministry is too. Albo doing everyone's job is not what is needed, nor is it appropriate.
Great explanation by Laura - that Albo is not being weak he is actually showing good leadership,
He is letting those who can do the job best get on with it - without big noting himself or trying to take the limelight #Insiders
