At the same time, Albanese named Siobhan McKenna, the 54-year-old businesswoman best known as Lachlan Murdoch’s “right hand”, as Australia’s next consul general in New York, highlighting the grip the Murdoch family holds on the politics of both nations. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/195814...
Murdoch ally appointed next consul general in New York
The appointment of a senior Murdoch executive to a plum diplomatic posting in New York has raised questions about Anthony Albanese’s judgement and his relationship with the right-wing mogul.

The ALP if they have any hope of ever governing again seriously need to challenge his position going into next election. His disgraceful decisions should have him resign in disgrace.

Dear Prime Minister: We Can Still Be Norway. Norway: $16,300 per citizen from oil and gas. Australia: $50.
54% of Australians support a proper gas tax. The Senate numbers are there. The May budget is the moment.

'Now is not the time'
Same response.
Year after year by the same bad actors
As the world's climate destabilises and they keep on approving fossil fuel projects that will just accelerate it.
Despairing that Australia will never have a government that will do anything real to mitigate climate change

Dangerous bullshit is political currency.
"The govt is trying to sell its inadequate gambling legislation with the pernicious claim that it 'strikes the right balance'."
If the PM is worried about declining trust in government, he should look in the mirror.

How pathetic is Australia? Why did we abstain? On whose authority did we abstain?

A significant part of our inflation comes from Albanese NOT urgently, mandating an accelerated shift to a renewables economy since the illegal war with Iran, his silence and complicity in that war and ignoring climate action
