@blowingtom2 @PeterDutton_MP “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”

I do not know of anyone that is paying $1000 more for electricity when prices have dropped for retail consumers and govt is giving rebates. To say it doesn’t matter, in a cost of living crisis is bullshit and more lies from @PeterDutton_MP

The poms might have left their fight back a bit late. #NRLVegas

@baldguymoney @giginator_ So just keep going as we are?

@giginator_ Any country. Come on. You know better than that.

To all the property economists out there: why doesn’t Australia do this?

I don’t know what the ads featuring Sophie Monk are selling but I am not opening any of them.

@BikoKonstantin1 Don’t know if you have watched “Capital in the 21st century”. A documentary floating around online - I saw it on SBS a while back. It explores what you are discussing and is very thought provoking. Worth a look.

If you wanted to destroy a nation, you'd start with housing. You'd turn homes into speculative assets, driving prices so high that an entire generation is locked out of ownership. You'd fuel envy and resentment between the property elite and the rest, stalling innovation and ambition as everyone chases the only reliable path to wealth: real estate. Sound like a plan? Well, we don’t need a blueprint because Australia's already done it – and worst of all, it’s all By Design.

@Anthony_Klan What? Those on here without ever actually seeing evidence and basing criticism on their strongly held partisan beliefs could be mistaken ? Shocking!

🚨The deeply embattled National Anti-Corruption Commission has completed its first investigations - and in all 3 cases says no corruption found. Refuses to say if Angus Taylor's "watergate" was one - despite 2 of 3 relating to "procurement". #watergate theklaxon.com.au/5hp4

@Keg767 High speed rail has a very important role in Australia. It is something that can be rolled out as a talking point whenever a distraction from other issues is needed. Nothing beyond that though.

And this is why high speed rail between Sydney and Melbourne or Brisbane is virtually unviable. You need to be punching circa 6K seats per day on the route to take any heat from the airlines. At a fare that in today’s $$$ needs to be circa $100.

@DoctorKarl theness.com/neurologicablo…

@DoctorKarl Have admired and listened to you as a science educator for many years, however also listen to other science communicators like Dr Steven Novella of the SGU who have many times advocated for the inclusion of nuclear to reduce emissions. Getting confused now.

Nuclear energy a "logical solution for Australia". Nope. Check out Rosie Barnes. youtube.com/watch?v=H_47LW…

@MSado96 @DaveTaylorNews There is a difference between thinking it will (or should) and saying it will because that would benefit their side of politics.

The Australian dollar has plunged to pandemic-era levels … 61.43 US cents

@d_andrewd @Josh4Freo Is live lobster export cruelty?

@Josh4Freo What is your view on live lobster exports to China?

Such rubbish. The live sheep trade has already declined by 90% - it declined by 75% when David Littleproud and his mates were in charge - and last year Austrslia set a new record for sheep meat exports. It’s past time for the cruel, marginal, and unnecessary trade to end.

@imbalaska I see McHales navy more and more.

Albo has confirmed that he will serve another full term as PM if he is re-elected. I can't imagine the damage he'd do to our culture and way of life if does win another term.

@PhilStegem34522 @ChrisMartzWX Australian here. Having travelled through California a few times, saw heaps of our eucalyptus trees, and saw some in the footage shown. Eucalyptus burn so well, indeed they’ve evolved to survive, some only shoot seed after fire goes through. Is that a consideration?

Wildfires are nothing new. Even if there is some added effect from global warming, blaming them on climate change is intellectually lazy and it does absolutely nothing to solve the problem. But, that makes too much sense. Instead, we live in a society where these progressives in power would rather sit back and watch as California burns to the ground instead of paying people to go in and clean up all of the highly flammable, small-diameter fuels accumulating on the forest floor so that they can advance their war against oil and gas companies and redistribute wealth. The vast majority of fires are caused by human negligence. Spending hundreds of trillions of taxpayer dollars on “net zero” isn’t really going to reduce fire risk, especially in the short term. Fire risk can be reduced significantly with better forest management practices, and largely prevented altogether if people just stopped setting them.

@ausvstheagenda Send them a modelling fee charge for the same amount?

Unbelievable. News Corp Australia just sent me a copyright infringement notice demanding $525 for using a photo of myself on our website. This photo was taken without my knowledge as I left a hotel in August 2021, just before my 3-month imprisonment for breaching COVID restrictions. Any lawyers here with advice? Should I just pay to settle this quickly?

@roadto1Bsats @AvidCommentator You said what I left unsaid. But I agree.

@dingoh2 @AvidCommentator By mostly foreign owned companies, selling raw materials to foreign countries and then buying back the finished products lol It's getting pretty hard to be bullish on AU going forward

For those of you playing at home Nvidia's market cap is now significantly more than double Australia's entire GDP.

@roadto1Bsats @AvidCommentator We do let stuff get dug out of the ground.

@AvidCommentator Makes sense though, what does Australia actually do? lol Seriously, we just buy property. Manufacturing is like 5% of GDP. We don't have any tech or any significant companies other then 4 banks lmao

@matt_barrie Average households aren’t the ones buying them.

Surprise. The average households can only afford to buy a home up to $513k budget. Big falls in property values to come. smh.com.au/property/news/…

@DrCameronMurray And the band played Waltzing Matilda.

Is there a better song than In The Air Tonight? Hit me with your best songs — I like originality and songs that hit you emotionally. I'm making a playlist and I trust my followers!

@DrCraigEmerson The Türkiye strategy?

The Reserve Bank board should cut interest rates at its next meeting and ignore those arguing that instead it should push the unemployment rate up to 4.5 per cent. afr.com/policy/economy…

@SimonCotter62 @couriermail With a bit of tweaking of the words, reckon you could have that as a line in a song…

@couriermail And he’s buuuying a stairway to election

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is travelling to Queensland where he will announce a major $7.2bn safety overhaul of the Bruce Highway. Details: bit.ly/4fGHLtb
