So around 25% of Australians would vote for trumpette(our orange version) if it was an option, mostly because Rupert told them to, but otherwise (hopefully) over half the voters would realise that they are being played by ruperts media, and would vote against him.

I am concerned that there is different 25% of swinging Australias population who are willing to vote for the last person that they read about.

I’m estimating that there are around at least 10-20% of voters in Australia who vote according to facebook posts, and gina is buying every second page, and every second post on my feed. She has the money to buy influence, and these days, facebook buys boomers votes.

Less than 1% of abortions take place in the third trimester – here’s why people get them

Link

While most abortions take place in the first trimester of pregnancy, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that less than 1% of abortions take place after 21 weeks of pregnancy. Public support for abortion after 24 weeks of pregnancy is notably low, and pundits have made wild claims about people who get third-trimester abortions, such as that women seek abortions up until the moment of a live birth.

well if you’re worried about it then stop complaining

Following a shake-up to negative gearing and the capital gains tax (CGT) discounts, the housing market has stalled and auction clearance rates are down. There’s some consternation among investors and home owners about a decrease in property values — and their concerns are backed by the big banks. NAB has predicted a 2 per cent drop across major capital cities, while Commonwealth Bank has revised their growth estimate to 3 per cent, down from 5 per cent. Prices are already sliding, with a reported 1.2 per cent decrease in Sydney last month alone. Investment bank Morgan Stanley has predicted house prices could fall between 5 and 10 per cent, which it described as “one of the largest price corrections over the past 40 years”.

There are winners and losers with every tax change. On a individual level the losers are not going to be happy. But for society as a whole it might be a good thing for house prices to stagnate for a few years. Maybe people might stick their money into a useful productive investment rather than speculative asset bubbles.

1000 days by Rita Jabri Markwell Jul 4

1000 days of Palestinian genocide won’t be televised. It won’t be marked with Palestinian flags at half mast, or Palestinian colours lighting up our bridges or Opera House. It won’t be the subject of a Prime Ministerial press conference or a solemn bipartisan parliamentary motion. Politicians wont clamour to perform their outrage or tears in parliament. Our media will not do pages and pages of double spreads, with in depth interviews. All the things that happen on 7 October for the anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel, will not be repeated for 1000 days of genocide. I am fine with this, because I have learned that the political class is so disconnected and false, why would we want their involvement.

We have been all deeply affected by the past 1000 days, but none as much as the Palestinians of Gaza, who’ve become the frontier of empire’s unmasking, and where those who have endured unfathomable suffering have been asked to suffer it again and again, and yet somehow, with the Grace of God, only shown how much moral rubble the rest of us live under.

I will always regret that I didn’t work to disconnect the Australian economy from that of supporting the perpetrator to the extent I am now, before these 1000 days. I have been jolted out of distraction, out of my service of relationships where there was no true reciprocal respect for my humanity as a Lebanese Arab Muslim, where every person and organisation and their complicity has been exposed and clarified, where the sheer beauty of other strangers has come into focus all touched by the same compulsion, to reject this unfathomable moral crime that we are being forced to witness, and grapple with our powerlessness, and channel our rage and political anger into things that will stop this and stop another happening again.

Only recently I have begun to remember the woman I was before these 1000 days. It was a woman half broken by Christchurch. And I have begun to remember the woman I was before Christchurch. She was shaped by 9/11, but she still soared, unweighed by this world. She felt like she carried the universe inside her sometimes. It roared through her and brought words out of her like a moving orchestra, like an ocean rising above, like an outer world of stars framed by low horizons and dipping valleys. She was filled with poetry before the violence of this world became inescapable and filled her with grief so overwhelming that she feared if she stopped she would no longer be able to move.

1000 days of genocide in Gaza and it continues, and we try to raise our voices to stop our countries being part of the violence. There is a political revolution brewing in countries around the world and a fight to contain it and redirect it and what we must never, ever forget, is that whoever we choose to replace our failed political class, must not accept Zionist money and be fully committed to red lines legislation to fully dismantle Australia’s military pipeline to Israel and US. If they are good on somethings but not this, they are no different at all.

I know the state library and the art gallery just next to parliament house both sell shopping bags because I have bought one at both places.

These are the people who vote for her. The ones who want to blame this bunch of scapegoats.

They don’t believe in the thought of having to change their ways with the climate change. They don’t believe is happening. They don’t believe that we should change to electric vehicles or have windfarms etc.

They don’t believe that there are rules they should start following because they are changing. No Government is allowed to change the status quo they want to have.

They want to keep the right to rape the land they had back before time got ahead of them.

What do we think of China’s missile launch yesterday? We know they could nuke us from sea or land at any moment and they know that we know it. A bravado attempt to intimidate yesterday seems to me to be like the act of a petulant child. Culturally it might need an attempt at ‘saving face’ but who is that supposed to convince? The West doesn’t give a shit. The only people approving of it would be hawks in the Chinese military/political establishment and does Xi really fear the opinions of his minions so much that he has to act out in this way?

Its a bit of a non threat, like you said they could do it anytime they want.
Plus if you are using actual nuclear weapons to attack an “enemy” then the world is in serious trouble.

The discussion about numbering made me remember something that I forgot, which is that one of Australia’s brief-life PMs was not a caretaker.

John McEwen, Earle Page and Frank Forde were all deputy PMs who were clearly interim PMs, with no expectation of holding the job more than a few weeks at best, following the deaths of Harold Holt, Joseph Lyons and John Curtin respectively.

Arthur Fadden of the Country Party however obtained the job with a view to being PM at least through to the next election.

In 1941 the UAP and Country parties together did not quite have a majority in parliament, relying on independents for confidence and supply. When Menzies resigned, the two parties jointly selected Fadden as PM, an unusual move as the Country party was the lesser in parliament.

His brief premiership was not insignificant. He presented the Budget (he was also Treasurer) that raised military spending by 20% in preparation for war with Japan. The funds for this were partly raised by a credit levy that ran up to 90% for high income earners, and also an excess profits tax. He also began the stoush with Churchill over control of Australian troops, who at that time were engaged in European and African theatres while Australia wanted some of them back to defend Australia.

Following a clash over the budget, two independents sided against Fadden in a confidence vote, and transferred their support to Labor, and so Curtin became Prime Minister.

At 40 days, he didn’t have quite the staying power of Liz Truss but it would be fair to regard his spell as less calamitous.

I have wondered when systems go down if its foreign interference.
I can imagine for example Chinese authority decides one day to use one of its hacking units to probe and crash an Australian critical system.

‘David Sharaz, who is being investigated for his role in a protest stunt that disrupted Pauline Hanson’s address to the National Press Club, has been banned from the institution.
The National Press Club claimed Sharaz filmed the moment a banner came down during the One Nation leader’s speech on June 17 before promptly leaving the room.
Sharaz is a representative of the activist group GetUp that claimed responsibility for the incident and the husband of former political staffer Brittany Higgins.
The National Press Club chief executive Maurice Reilly on Wednesday confirmed he has declined Sharaz’s membership application and banned him from all events.”

He did manage to give us a decent pun on exit, saying that it was like the Great Flood because he “reigned for 40 days and 40 nights”.

Earlier today, it was reported opposition leader Angus Taylor and One Nation’s Barnaby Joyce questioned whether Telstra’s network disruption may have involved Chinese interference.

“As a general principle, I think when it comes to matters of national security, you shouldn’t make stuff up,” Anika Wells said.

“You’ve heard from Telstra’s acting CEO there’s currently no evidence to suggest that those things are the case.

“So I think it’s irresponsible.”

communist LABOR are such apologists for some other country

I have wondered when systems go down if its foreign interference.
I can imagine for example Chinese authority decides one day to use one of its hacking units to probe and crash an Australian critical system.

It is a concern.

Peak Warming Man said:

‘David Sharaz, who is being investigated for his role in a protest stunt that disrupted Pauline Hanson’s address to the National Press Club, has been banned from the institution.
The National Press Club claimed Sharaz filmed the moment a banner came down during the One Nation leader’s speech on June 17 before promptly leaving the room.
Sharaz is a representative of the activist group GetUp that claimed responsibility for the incident and the husband of former political staffer Brittany Higgins.
The National Press Club chief executive Maurice Reilly on Wednesday confirmed he has declined Sharaz’s membership application and banned him from all events.”

So much for free speech.

My mate Julian Leeser tells me that:

“These taxes reduce the number of houses that are being built by 35,000, according to the government’s own budget papers, and they reduce incentives to invest, save, and start small businesses.”

Is that actually true?

Particularly the bit about 35,000 less houses according to the gov’s own papers?

maybe they reduce the number of houses that would be built by the true best economic managers, by getting them built beforehand

Former Reserve Bank economist urges Australia not to allow money to rule politics

Former Reserve Bank economist Justin Wolfers says Australia urgently needs to consider the role of money in its politics while examining how US President Donald Trump profits from his position.

Mr Wolfers, who has spent 25 years in the United States and is currently a professor of economics and public policy at the University of Michigan, told Alan Kohler’s That’s Business podcast that Mr Trump was “selling the presidency”.
“He’s got things like billion-dollar investments in crypto and in a range of other industries where he’s essentially just been providing ways of people to buy him off,” he said.

I have been doing an experiment for over four years using plastic bags which I last got at IGA over 4 years ago

I kept 2 plastic bags in the car. And kept using them. Returning the bags to the side of front seat every time,

Well one if the bags is still in use, 6 months ago it got a torn handle when the check person took it off the bag holder, I fixed the handle by tying the plastic ends together, the other plastic bag got a split side about 1 year ago and was retired.

I report the major polls here but it’s really the polling averages that are more useful, since there naturally is some scatter.

PollBludger (William Bowe)’s averages indicate that the ALP has well and truly recovered and is now 7.8% ahead in the 2PP.

Dr Kevin Bonham has similar numbers in his 2PP average, ALP 53.5 – LNP 46.5

Pauline Hanson suggests sending opponents to an island as she rules out Coalition deal
The ‘island’ comments came during a podcast interview with former UK prime minister Liz Truss.

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has sparked controversy after suggesting political opponents should be sent to an island during an interview with former UK prime minister Liz Truss.

The Queensland senator made the comments during an appearance on The Liz Truss Show, while discussing environmental activists and independent politicians.

They also discussed what Truss describes as “the blob” — a term she uses for public servants and institutions she believes obstruct conservative governments.

“We’ve got some of them sitting on the floor of parliament,” Senator Hanson said.

“They’re called the Greenies, and a couple of the independents.

“How about we just round them all up and give them an island or somewhere? And say, ‘Here, go and do what you want to do over there. Leave us alone.’”

The comment prompted laughter from Truss, who replied: “Didn’t we try that with Australia in the first place?”

The One Nation leader has been conducting a series of interviews with conservative British commentators during what appears to be an overseas media tour, while also attending the UK’s Conservative Political Action Conference.

Among those she has met is controversial British activist Tommy Robinson, whom Senator Hanson described as “brave” during a visit to his hometown of Luton.

Elsewhere in the interview, Hanson ruled out entering a formal coalition agreement with the Liberal and National parties, saying she wants “to remain totally independent”.

Hanson also repeated her call for Australia to withdraw from the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, arguing the agreement was “out of date”.

“I’m sorry, I don’t care about those people,” she said of asylum seekers, adding Australia should decide who enters the country without being bound by international agreements.

She also called for a reduction in the size of the federal public service.

She claimed Australia had about 216,000 public servants, including an increase of 50,000 under the current government, and said One Nation would push for a “big clean-out” if it held the balance of power or formed government.

“If One Nation does get government or is in a position to have that shared balance of power in either house, yes, we’re going to push for it,” she said.

Liz Truss making colonial jokes is like the iceberg giving Titanic navigation advice. Nothing says ‘stable political leadership’ like advice from someone outlasted by a lettuce.

The lettuce woman! I remember her!

The ‘island’ comments came during a podcast interview with former UK prime minister Liz Truss.

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has sparked controversy after suggesting political opponents should be sent to an island during an interview with former UK prime minister Liz Truss.

The Queensland senator made the comments during an appearance on The Liz Truss Show, while discussing environmental activists and independent politicians.

They also discussed what Truss describes as “the blob” — a term she uses for public servants and institutions she believes obstruct conservative governments.

“We’ve got some of them sitting on the floor of parliament,” Senator Hanson said.

“They’re called the Greenies, and a couple of the independents.

“How about we just round them all up and give them an island or somewhere? And say, ‘Here, go and do what you want to do over there. Leave us alone.’”

The comment prompted laughter from Truss, who replied: “Didn’t we try that with Australia in the first place?”

The One Nation leader has been conducting a series of interviews with conservative British commentators during what appears to be an overseas media tour, while also attending the UK’s Conservative Political Action Conference.

Among those she has met is controversial British activist Tommy Robinson, whom Senator Hanson described as “brave” during a visit to his hometown of Luton.

Elsewhere in the interview, Hanson ruled out entering a formal coalition agreement with the Liberal and National parties, saying she wants “to remain totally independent”.

Hanson also repeated her call for Australia to withdraw from the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, arguing the agreement was “out of date”.

“I’m sorry, I don’t care about those people,” she said of asylum seekers, adding Australia should decide who enters the country without being bound by international agreements.

She also called for a reduction in the size of the federal public service.

She claimed Australia had about 216,000 public servants, including an increase of 50,000 under the current government, and said One Nation would push for a “big clean-out” if it held the balance of power or formed government.

“If One Nation does get government or is in a position to have that shared balance of power in either house, yes, we’re going to push for it,” she said.

Domestic violence crisis spirals as government slashes tens of millions in funding.

The Queensland government has slashed domestic and family violence funding by $38 million even as DV murders rise and protection order breaches almost triple.

The state government has slashed domestic and family violence prevention funding by tens of millions of dollars while repeat offenders keep racking up breaches and frontline services warn the crisis is spiralling.

Budget papers show funding for domestic and family violence (DFV) prevention will fall to $340.7m in 2026–27 – down $38.5m from last year’s allocation and $15.8m below what was actually spent, despite warnings services are under severe pressure.
Staffing has also been reduced, with funded full-time equivalent positions falling from 93 to 81 while frontline agencies report surging demand, rising operating costs and increasingly complex crisis cases.

Alarming new Queensland Police data also shows the state’s laws aren’t deterring offenders and a new Police Protection Direction meant to give victims immediate safety had failed – with Police Minister Dan Purdie now forced to review the measure just six months after it was introduced.

Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Minister Amanda Camm – who is already under fire for multiple scandals within her Child Safety portfolio – did not explain the funding cuts and did not answer questions about offenders repeatedly breaching orders.
She also declined to say whether the government would publish a comprehensive domestic and family violence strategy, after earlier releasing an eight-page document that outlined broad objectives but contained no clear targets or timelines.
Ms Camm instead accused Labor of overseeing a 218 per cent rise in DFV.

“We have undertaken reform across the state to put victims first and hold perpetrators to account,” she said.
Queensland Domestic and Family Violence Alliance chief executive Mel Arnost said any funding was welcome, but the sector was in “desperate need” of more support to keep pace with demand and escalating costs.

Tony Abbott cut back on Intimate Partner Violence founding even more than John Howard.

The cuts she (Rosie Batty) refers to are to family violence services as well as homelessness and crisis accommodation services across the country. Altogether, the cuts are worth $300 million. Several services across the country will be forced to close after having their federal funding slashed or even removed in its entirety.

John Howard had already cut 40%.

Feminist influence on government policy plummeted when a socially conservative, pro-family Coalition government led by John Howard came to power in March 1996. The government cut many services to women and slashed the funding of the Office for the Status of Women by 40%.

Staffing has also been reduced, with funded full-time equivalent positions falling from 93 to 81 while frontline agencies report surging demand, rising operating costs and increasingly complex crisis cases.

Alarming new Queensland Police data also shows the state’s laws aren’t deterring offenders and a new Police Protection Direction meant to give victims immediate safety had failed – with Police Minister Dan Purdie now forced to review the measure just six months after it was introduced.

Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Minister Amanda Camm – who is already under fire for multiple scandals within her Child Safety portfolio – did not explain the funding cuts and did not answer questions about offenders repeatedly breaching orders.
She also declined to say whether the government would publish a comprehensive domestic and family violence strategy, after earlier releasing an eight-page document that outlined broad objectives but contained no clear targets or timelines.
Ms Camm instead accused Labor of overseeing a 218 per cent rise in DFV.

“We have undertaken reform across the state to put victims first and hold perpetrators to account,” she said.
Queensland Domestic and Family Violence Alliance chief executive Mel Arnost said any funding was welcome, but the sector was in “desperate need” of more support to keep pace with demand and escalating costs.

Tony Abbott cut back on Intimate Partner Violence founding even more than John Howard.

The cuts she (Rosie Batty) refers to are to family violence services as well as homelessness and crisis accommodation services across the country. Altogether, the cuts are worth $300 million. Several services across the country will be forced to close after having their federal funding slashed or even removed in its entirety.

John Howard had already cut 40%.

Feminist influence on government policy plummeted when a socially conservative, pro-family Coalition government led by John Howard came to power in March 1996. The government cut many services to women and slashed the funding of the Office for the Status of Women by 40%.

The news about the US Bill that will merge the US and Israeli military-industrial bases is catching fire among voters, veterans and independent news outlets in the US, but has had next to no reporting in Australia, even though whatever the US decides will automatically include Australia too due to AUKUS Pillar II. Australia has already formed a “seamless industrial base” with the US, according to our own Defence Minister.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has just concluded his speech on the government’s approach to artificial intelligence.

Here are the key takeaways and announcements from his speech to the University of Sydney:

• The prime minister has announced the federal government will legislate national standards for artificial intelligence.

• The standards, which the PM hopes will pass parliament early next year, will create a “legal obligation” for the next generation of data centres.

• Under the standards, data centres will be forced to minimise water usage and underwrite or supply their own power.

*AI companies will be barred from using Australian books, music, art or news to build or train AI without the consent and control of the author.

• Premiers and chief ministers will be consulted on the standards at the national cabinet meeting next month, according to the PM.

*Albanese has also confirmed the creation of an Office of AI within the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.

• The office will coordinate the design of Australia’s new national AI standards and bring together work across government.

It’s impossible not to use AI. It’s on our devices, search engines, emails. Even if you don’t go to ChatGPT or copilot, it’s in everything else. I don’t think people realise the environmental impacts of data centre use.

A couple of assignments ago when I was required yo use AI to form an IEP, part of the task was to reflect on AI’s ethical use. I mentioned environmental impacts and the tutor’s feedback was, “good point, it’s not something people think about”.

I might be late to the party here, but:

“In Australia if superannuation funds are going to be told by governments where to invest, and those investments include schools, hospitals, infrastructure etc I want a tax deduction if my super is replacing government expenditure sourced from tax revenue.

If every $1 of superannuation directed into government projects will be replacing $1 of taxation revenue that would otherwise have funded these projects, then isn’t it reasonable to expect a reduction in the tax received by government from me? Or is this going to be another cash grab by governments in Australia and the use of super will simply be in addition to existing government expenditures . If that is the case then my super is replacing government expenditure sourced through government borrowing which means the government might only feel obliged to pay me the government bond rate for the use of my super. I wouldn’t be happy with that.”

Nepotism too.

You know that if super funds invest in public infrastructure it’s just a loan?

So they get that money back + interest and you are actually receiving some of your tax money back through your super.

One Nation’s Malcolm Roberts falsely claimed COVID-19 vaccines caused miscarriages

One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts claimed half of pregnant women vaccinated against COVID-19 experienced a miscarriage in contradiction of medical evidence.

The Queensland senator faced criticism this week for his past controversial comments, including about debunked conspiracy theories, as the party’s popularity placed more attention on Pauline Hanson’s parliamentary team.

The ABC can reveal previously unreported remarks made by Senator Roberts about the impact of COVID-19 vaccinations on pregnant women — claims that are contradicted by extensive medical evidence — during a live stream with anti-vax mandate activists four years ago.

After suggesting the general miscarriage rate “around the world” was “about 13 per cent” based on “Japanese figures, the American figures et cetera”, Senator Roberts then said it was dramatically higher for women who had received a COVID-19 vaccine.

This is the big lie they all have to believe in to be part of the group. It’s a bit of a puzzling psychological phenomenon, willfully sacrificing your own personal dignity to take on the group identity. This particular lie is dangerous because it is setting the group up to reject any future election results that don’t go the way the group (or the leader) wants them to go. This is the kind of thing that starts civil wars.

It really disappoints me when I see any Australian buying into this foreign bullshit.

So why is this non-white person allowed to be a member of the Australian Parliament anyway?

What does Pauline have to say about it?

Best stay that way. It’s very likely he’ll get booted out in the next election anyway, fortunately.

It would be interesting to have AI analyse each speech, transcript from Hanson and then give each speech / transcript a stupidity rating.

Then a rating for the total.

He’s repeating all those American anti choice attitudes. We are going to have to fight for abortions again.

He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. But he appeals to low information voters.

In my Facebook memories from July 2020:

“Today I was thinking about some little signs I saw in July 2001. Winter in Australia. Carefully made tiny signs on toothpicks stuck in piles of dog shit. They had – LNP DNA, carefully written on them.
In Australia the LNP is a coalition of two conservative parties: The Liberal Party* and the National Party.
I see quite a few piles of dog shit on my walk with Gracie. *For the Americans: not “liberal”, it’s Liberal. Big difference.”

Those little signs were one of the funniest political things that I have ever seen.

mr kii and I were walking down a street in Katoomba, we had only known each other for a few days. He had his camera with him, but I felt that asking him to photograph dog shit was maybe a bit much to ask early on in a relationship.

APVMA says ’500-fold’ increase of pesticide residues on berries poses no risk to human health

When Australian regulators were tasked with assessing the safety of Syngenta’s new pesticide isocycloseram in 2021, they were the first in the world to do so.

“At this stage, there are no approvals for this active constituent, or any product registrations anywhere in the world,” the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) public release summary read.

The APVMA is now proposing to raise how much of the chemical residue is legally allowed on berries sold in Australia, angering anti-pesticide campaigners.

Opponents argue the 500-fold increase of the so-called “forever chemical” poses too great a risk to human health.

But the APVMA and Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) were satisfied treated berries were “safe for all consumers”.

Amid the outrage spreading online, the APVMA said it would consider public comment made in response to the proposal before deciding to proceed.

He’s a real pillar of society, that guy.

State and territory representatives are expected to voice significant concerns about the rollout of the national emergency warning system AusAlert when they meet with the federal emergency minister in Melbourne this morning.

The alert system would send alerts directly to the mobile phones of people in areas affected by an emergency.

The system is due to be tested by sending a loud alert tone to all mobile phones across the nation next Monday before it launches in October.

However, that is up in the air, after most state and territory governments said they would not phase out their state-based systems.

Federal Emergency Management Minister Kristy McBain is expected to make an announcement about the rollout at 9am.
