Covid is still here & now Trump is back. The twin disasters of the teens & twenties. It’s almost impossible to predict which will do more harm.

NEW VIDEO: It would be one of the biggest upsets in Victorian political history, but Sophie Torney tells 6 News she has a path to victory in Kew, where the two-time independent candidate is trying to unseat Liberal leader Jess Wilson

The Job-Ready-Graduates (JRG) scheme forces students studying arts, law and commerce to pay almost twice as much for their degrees as other students.
It’s a punitive, unfair, ineffective policy failure.
Labor campaigned against JRG in opposition but has now owned the scheme for longer than the Liberals who came up with it.
The Albanese Government must end JRG. Students deserve the ability to pay off their degrees in a reasonable timeframe and then get on with their lives.
Join my campaign today to #FIXHECS and tell the Education Minister that JRG must go.

I think if @NSWHealth gave punters the full story – e.g. that Covid is a vascular disease that can silently fuck up pretty much any organ in the human body, even while seeming "like a cold" – more punters would consider wearing a respie on public transport the "practical" choice
Here in Australia, we have a public health body (hi @NSWHealth 👋) literally telling the public that respirators "aren't practical"

If the Labor government or the coalition are looking for what's driving people away from the major parties, then this sort of incestuous, jobs for the boys and gals, circle-jerk is what's causing people's disgust.
Every day, every week - they scratch each others backs.
Peter Dutton, who has never spent time on any cultural or museum board, will receive almost $50,000 p.a for attending four meetings a year.
Yes, you read that right.
Former Liberal leader and Defence Minister Peter Dutton will join the Council of the Australian War memorial with the Albanese government praising his record on driving “major reforms” on national security and military readiness

Babet spends his days as a Federal Senator publicly endorsing pro MAGA BS and Far Right conspiracy nonsense yet STILL gets paid over twice the annual salary of the average AUS teacher, nurse, firefighter and paramedic
Where’s the accountability?

Melbourne is still 2026 Most Liveable City in the World and has been in top 5 for the past 3 years
A Lib/ON coalition have literally nothing to offer but confected outrage and a deranged sense of entitlement
I get people are angry at Labor but this will be a MASSIVE own goal

“AUKUS locks our navy into a 1990s-era hull architecture requiring crew complements of over 132 personnel and cramped ‘hot-bunking’ living conditions.
“In a modern voluntary force, expecting Australian recruits to accept these conditions on long-range transits, is a severe workforce vulnerability.”

What I will never, ever understand - or forgive, for that matter - is the absolute contradiction inherent at the policy level of 'normalising' Covid-19, yet simultaneously severely limiting vaccine access and refusing to explain to the public the value of using respirator masks.

South Korea tracked cancer in 36 million people for a decade before the jabs and four years after.
No change in any of 13 cancer types.
It's almost as if Covid vaccines don't cause cancer and anti vaxxers made it up to scare you off

Angus Taylor, yet again, posted about "Labor's out-of-control spending" - See below.
We have counted at least 100 times that he has posted on social media the very same statement, stated this in TV pressers, or in other media. We stopped counting at 100 because we were fucking bored.
However, we didn't find ONE EXAMPLE, and trust us we have searched thoroughly, anywhere where he has stated how he would CUT SPENDING.
So we fucking asked him:
And we gave him two short video clips to remind him.
Please see our reply to Angus, we will be keeping a record of any response he gives. Yawn. teapaw.org/TheNoisyTrunk/status/2…
PS: Pensioners, be very scared. Sick people, forget it; take a pain pill (under doctor's supervision, assuming he doesn't cut MEDICARE).
Dear Angus Taylor (or Andrew Hastie, depending on when this reaches you),
“Because of Labor’s out-of-control spending.”
You’ve trotted out the same line on 𝕏, in TV pressers and anywhere else someone’s left a microphone unattended.
So here’s your chance, Angus.
TELL US, IN WRITING, EXACTLY WHAT YOU’LL CUT.
MEDICARE?
HOSPITAL FUNDING?
AGED CARE?
THE AGE PENSION?
Or will you dust off the Morrison playbook and talk tough about public service headcounts while paying outsiders to do the work? The Department of Finance audit put the bill for external labour across 112 federal agencies at $20.8 billion in 2021–22.
WHICH PROGRAMS, ANGUS? HOW MUCH FROM EACH? WHEN?
“We’ll put out our costings before the election” won’t cut it. You’ve got plenty to say about spending today. You can tell Australians today what you’d take off the table.
PUT IT IN WRITING.
We know you won’t.

When I lived in western Sydney I had forever white Christians knocking on my door.
Wyee near Lake Macquarie for 20 years, Seventh Day Adventists.
Hunter Valley gated community since 2023……
Pressing the intercom outside wanting to push their bullshit.
NEVER in 67 years has a Muslim attempted to push their religion on me.
NOT ONCE!

Straight to the bottom
Line: Australia’s big four banks, among the most profitable in the world, clean up by instantaneously passing on @RBAInfo’s cash rate increases and calculatedly paying little or NO interest on cash management holding accounts people use daily to pay their bills. All this in our cost of living crisis.
