Just add it to the teetering pile of broken promises from #AlboTheLiar

The Govt committed publicly to chipping in 42.5% of the cost of public hospitals by 2030.

But we’re now told that that is actually unlikely to happen.

Public hospitals are experiencing huge demand, so it’s frustrating to see the promises but no firm commitment on delivery.

Steel and aluminium manufacturers are feeling the effects of high gas prices driven up by exports.

Australia Institute research shows gas exports have TRIPLED Aus gas prices and DOUBLED electricity prices.

Yes. Supply is sporadic. It's a travesty. Need to stock up when you see it.

It's the only tea.

Tetley is bloody awful.

Side note: was working with a Korean intern a few months ago. She confirmed what I already knew, Bushells is the only one that tastes like tea.

Ed Husic, Labor MP, made some great points on Afternoon Briefing yesterday.

"The reason why prices are so high is because we export a phenomenal amount of gas."

We can remedy supply constraints without opening new gas projects by diverting uncontracted gas to the domestic market.

I read this headline and thought "Oh, fuck off."

Then I read the article and thought "Actually, he's right."

As always, our knee-jerk responses are unreliable and, frankly, stupid.

Monkey brains cannot be trusted. Only thoughtful reflection gets us close to a rational conclusion.

Indeed, the Partly story is about finding replacement car parts, a subject I didn’t previously know I cared about but now find fascinating.

AI playing its part
Does a New Zealand start-up hoping to revolutionise the car-parts supply chain demonstrate how best to use AI?

Not answering questions seems to be standard operating procedure for these overpaid anti-truthers.

But this clown is not even competent at not answering questions.

Check out that dismissive smirk.

What a prick.

David Pocock asks Don Farrell some serious questions about why the govt has not implemented an important recommendation from the #RobodebtRC.
Farrell caught playing on his phone, not even paying attention.🙄 Pocock hasn’t the patience to try again & moves on. #Estimates
