Australians aged over 65 will have to pay about $240 more a year for private health insurance. The decision brings the rebate in line with that paid by younger Australians, which Health Minister Mark Butler says is "the right thing to do". abc.net.au/news/2026-04-2…

So booing an indigenous man during his welcome to country at an ANZAC dawn service is completely acceptable to our government & not racist or a criminal offence…. but saying “from the river to the sea” is antisemitic AND a criminal offence. Australia is broken! SHAME!

An extraordinarily un-Australian decision that keeps profits pumping out to foreign nations. NDIS cuts, homelessness rise, poverty up, infrastructure worn out, holes in dental care, capitals bursting, rents skyrocketing… No foreign company left behind. abc.net.au/news/2026-04-2…

A senior US military officer is holding private briefings in Canberra, saying Australia’s geography is “an ideal operating base for any future Indo-Pacific conflicts.” The US is working with Labor, One Nation and the Liberals to bring their next war here thenightly.com.au/politics/visit…

Appalled but not surprised to see govt caving to the gas companies. This just makes me more determined to go harder on our campaign to get a fair return on our gas through a 25% tax on gas export revenue. Head to ourgas.com.au to add your voice. abc.net.au/news/2026-04-2…

Cecile chairing the next Shell board meeting: hey guys how much gas do we export, and what are the revenues of our company? I know I should know this but ...

The Shell Australia Country Chair just told the Senate committee that 6 or 7 gas companies have contributed $1 million each to fund a huge campaign against a gas export tax 🤯 and smaller companies have also contributed. Gas companies are spending millions to ensure Australians aren't paid a fair share for the export of our gas. Go to ourgas.com.au to help fight back against their propaganda.

“Just do it, and stop the crap.” 💥🔥 You can see why gas giants are worried. When the guy who wrote the book on Australian tax reform calls for a 25% gas export tax this bluntly, it would be gross negligence for the government to ignore it. Thank you, Ken Henry. #auspol

This is a big win for older Australians. Labor will ditch co-payments for in-home showering, dressing and continence care barely 6 months after they rolled them out. Great to see Labor admitting their mistake but they shouldn't have been gouging older people in the first place.

Pauline Hanson: “We’re drowning in unskilled migrants” Bakchos: “we’re drowning in unskilled and educated buffoons in parliament who are destroying our country with their endless ineptitude”

A Labor politician with balls not afraid to ask for a better deal for all Australians.

The new head of the Australian military is going to the US as part of the $375 billion AUKUS scam. While there, he will be the keynote speaker at a $5,000-a-head corporate event run by former Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne. The system is rigged.
