Listening to Barry Cassidy and Tony Barry on their podcast for The Guardian.
Apparently 1 in 4 Gen X men intend to vote One Nation.

Holy smoke, climate denying trolls are making fake pictures showing a huge mess left behind by the Rising Tide blockade on Newcastle’s Horseshoe Beach. Here’s the original pic vs the fake, which has apparently spread widely on social media. #auspol #AI #fakenews #risingtide

Like, if it’s his own personal thing fine… but then why’s it on the front of all the national news websites?

Fuck off!
They get a $400k+ severance package, and are returning to the same employer for a $400k+ / yr position.

"Genevieve Bell resigned in September from her position as vice-chancellor, after months of controversy over the management of the Australian National University.
It was revealed on Tuesday she received a severance package of more than $400,000.
After a period of study leave, Professor Bell will return to the university as a distinguished professor at the School of Cybernetics, earning $498,712 a year."

@troberts@theblower.au Start by eliminating 5% of all political positions...MP's, Senators, etc. Round up where necessary.

All the 'we didn't take this policy to the election' hand-wringing by the ALP about all sort of things ...
... yet apparently a 5% cut to the APS is on the cares.
Far out...

I'm pretty flipping mad about this.
I was at the ABS when the Rudd govt asked for 3.5% cut and it's just a stupid and suffocating policy.

"Asked about the reported 5 per cent figure, Senator Gallagher said it was a "re-prioritisation" rather than a "cut" but did not dispute the magnitude. Re-prioritisations balance out other new spending, rather than reducing funding in absolute terms.
But that still leaves agencies needing to find 5 per cent of their current activities to discontinue."

In the lead of this newsletter, Amy Remeikis asks the question that has been on my mind for months … what is it Labor is waiting for?
Certainly, as Amy notes, Menzies, Howard, Whitlam and others would have been reforming by now. Why not the Albanese Government?
Worth a read.

I keep thinking about when we will next get a chance to vote out the ALP…
Then I remember 2025 was an election year and we won’t get a chance for ages.

I don’t profess to be a master of money and such stuff, but maybe we should give renationalising the Commonwealth Bank a try.
Like, how could it make the banking situation in Australia any worse?
