Not real good at self promotion. Interested in things. Likes many of them, dislikes quite a few and hates very little.

It was David McBride who blew the whistle, triggering the Brereton report & laying the groundwork for Ben Roberts‑Smith’s charges.
The thanks he got was jail, while war criminals roamed free.
It’s about time Roberts-Smith is put away for good, but McBride must be released.

Wait… did CommBank just enter the gas tax chat? 👀
The CBA has suggested the Albanese government go big in the May budget, including by implementing a gas export tax.
It’s never been easier to secure a fair return for Australia’s resources.

The Trump administration is like that person who thinks they’re the smartest one in the room, but they’re really the loudest, confusing arrogance with intelligence and raw stupidity with strength.

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.

How many shared values do Australians have with Donald Trump and MAGA Republicanism? Virtually none — despite what shills for the US defence alliance insist, writes Bernard Keane.
The United States is a joke of a country. How many 'shared values' does Australia actually have with it?
With Donald Trump's America showing zero commitment to democracy, the rule of law, human rights or free trade, is it time to admit things have changed?
