Don't be fooled by the bullshit in the budget.

Our government spends more money propping up fossil fuels than it does on housing.

Subsidies for fossil fuel producers are at $14.5 billion per year.

Social housing gets a little over $6 billion per year.

It's all about choices, and in this case we are choosing to increase homelessness and to pay to fry the planet.

In our economy the price of any particular item sits at, or just above, whatever the market will bear.

Rent assistance ensures that rental costs will go up.

Power rebates ensure that power costs will go up.

These measures are subsidies for property investors and power companies who often pay no tax.

Who says there's no jobs in fossil fuel?

As Senator Larissa Waters recently said:

“Every single resources minister in Coalition and Labor governments since 2001 has gone on to work in the fossil fuel sector.”

Following the discovery of mass graves outside of a Gaza hospital it looks a bit like a war crime has been committed.

You will be relieved to hear that Israel is to investigate this themselves.

I, for one, have no doubt Israel's decision to exonerate itself will be totally credible.

It looks like Iranian terrorists have launched an attack in response to Israeli defensive operations.

And to all those doubters who might think Anthony Albanese can't handle an international situation where an Australian has been murdered, let me remind you that he's already issued comuniqués, demanded explanations, urged restraint, defended sovereign rights and tomorrow he'll really dress the ambassador down.

What a hero.

@Spoon if the ambassador's feeling up to it

@luciedigitalni

That's right, poor fellow was feeling unwell. After all being an appologist for mass murder isn't very good for you.

I thought that satire was dead when they gave Henry Kissinger a Nobel peace prize but this is a real game changer.

Saudi Arabia has been chosen to head the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Interesting choice.

Eight women killed in Australia in the first six weeks of 2024.

I've checked:

Not islamic extremists.

Not chinese spies.

Not gay transgenders.

Not African gangs.

Not indigenous youth gangs.

All were committed by men well known to the victims. This is virtually ignored by the media.

Biden says that he holds Tehran responsible for the attack on the Syria base “in the sense that they’re supplying the weapons”.

So this would be an admission of US guilt for the murderous genocide in Palestine would it not?

Military using medical disguise is a recognised war crime so obviously all funding of the IDF will now be withheld worldwide immediately.

Note also they killed 'militants' rather than people.

Israeli special forces disguised as doctors kill three militants at West Bank hospital

Colesworth says they are committed to helping Australians with cost-of-living pressures. They say that they are working hard to keep prices affordable.

For your convenience I have translated the above into english;

We don't actually give a flying fuck about our customers so shut up.

All Australian parliaments, except the ACT, begin each session with the Lords Prayer before they proceed to lie, cover up, undermine, prevaricate, plot and deliberately mislead.

Should Australian parliaments axe the Lord’s Prayer? In Victoria it’s up for debate

@Spoon if they insist on praying, the serenity prayer would be a big improvement

Taking up a position on little children being blown to pieces is a bit difficult but making sure international trade is unhindered is 'utterly central to Australia's national interest '.

Is this really who we are?

The pope is concerned about the dignity of women and children but, instead getting his employees to stop fucking little kids he has decided that surrogacy is the main problem.
