ABC news suggesting that the $3000 'baby bonus' be reinstated

Reminder, it was a $5000 'baby bonus' back in the day

$3000 wouldn't even buy a pram, cot, car seat & other essentials for a baby these days

If the 'baby bonus' does return, it needs to be $10K minimum

Your reminder: The UK still has no permanent solution to their nuclear waste. The temporary site at Sellafield is unpopular and has recorded over 20 accidents and radioactive leaks.

I cannot emphasize this enough. There is life-saving aid at the border, including blankets, clothing, shoes, and materials for shelter, and Israel is actively blocking it. That is genocidal.

Oh please God, no. Operation Fluffy Dutton has begun. Expect cooking tips, puppies, daggy Dad dancing & whatever else marketing invents. All designed to disguise the fact he’s a cold-blooded political thug, fully owned & operated by the fossil fuel industry. Gunna need a bigger bucket. #auspol

I’m really tired of the fossil fuel industry. They steal our resources from us, sell it back to us at ridiculously high prices and they are destroying our planet and future. All while controlling our politicians and therefore other solution technologies.

We need independents to break this deadlock

This sums it up, yes.

AOC: “Oh, I don’t think we’re witnessing the START of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.” 🇺🇸

The US oligarchy rule is a warning to Australia

Incredible stuff.
