‘Not only does Dutton aim to increase public spending, he would bring to a screeching halt the private investment – $40 bill in the past 4 yrs – pouring into renewable energy, all without any evidence his actions would bring down power bills.’

Just remember no one in the LNP outside Ted O’Brien actually thinks they’ll deliver nuclear power.
Most don’t even care so long as they have a policy that means more coal for a lot longer.

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself
Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃

Pezzullo is a uniquely damaged individual whose rehabilitation in the media should be seen as a failed ethical duty of care at this point. He needs a Sprite and some sunshine.
Pezzullo with a fever-dream of "hard patriotism" where all adults annually line up and pledge service. This sort of blood and soil nonsense should probably get you on a watch list not get you a security clearance.

New Administrative Review Tribunal (replacing AAT) has operated for 2 months and hasn't published a SINGLE decision. AAT published 12 or more a day. Says tech issues are to blame but won't commit to publishing at least as many decisions as predecessor. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...
Exclusive: New tribunal yet to publish a single decision
The Administrative Review Tribunal, which was intended to restore transparency and trust, has released none of the decisions from its first two months of operation, owing to technical problems.

Dear RBA,

The economy is in a worse state than you predicted & your "narrow path" to avoiding recession is a gossamer thread.
If you think the economy is moving slow, cut rates.

Unemployment has been steady for months as inflation has fallen, but the Reserve believes the job market is still too strong. The bank may be wrong.
