@QuentinDempster An MP claims to "survey" her electorate and you are happy to regard this as factual, credible data with zero sampling bias?

Significantly housing investor ‘boomers’ support reforms to negative gearing and capital gains tax. 👇These tax breaks have distorted our housing market, adding to prices and unaffordability for young people and renters. Question: will Libs,Nats,One Nation do the decent thing?

@JEChalmers Not sure what pisses me off more. Your budget, or the fact you're paying someone to make this stupid promo video like you're god's gift.

A very busy week finalising the Budget with the team. It will be a really responsive Budget, all about resilience and reform.

@DrewPavlou 🤮

“Gen Z meet the Prime Minister” Great to see Gen Z media success stories like this. Billi FitzSimmons had it tough growing up with Lisa Wilkinson as her Mum and Pete FitzSimmons as her Dad. That’s a tough battler position to be in when starting out in Aussie media.

@4mambo This post just shows how little you understand about geoscience as an academic discipline.

A geologist “ explaining” climate science. Like asking a dentist to explain brain surgery.

@DavidShoebridge One of the dumbest, most ignorant and incompetent comments I've ever seen. You have zero idea about any of this. Plus, why the f**k do you suddenly care about oil deliveries?

Be cool if that was our ships..

@thatgeodud37379 @flightradar24 I don't know how you came to that conclusion from my question. Yes I know there is a war going on. Understanding how/why gps spoofing occurs is a separate question.

@EnergyEcon89 @flightradar24 You have a master's in economics but you don't know that there is a war going on ?

As a kind reminder to our tracking community, and as most of you already know, Emirates Flight EK242 of course isn’t delighting its passengers with some complimentary advanced aerobatic flying on short final into Dubai—this is what GPS interference looks like in practice.

@HustleBitch_ If you've read Hail Mary or listened to the ebook you'd know this is precisely a stunt for the movie.

🚨 RYAN GOSLING’S PRIVATE FACETIME CALL LEAKED — AND IT GOES PAINFULLY WRONG A private FaceTime call between actor Ryan Gosling and SNL cast member Mikey Day is spreading online after viewers noticed how uncomfortable the conversation gets. At first it sounds normal... Mikey congratulates Gosling on hosting Saturday Night Live. Then the call suddenly takes a strange turn when Gosling says he’s calling to celebrate something he calls “Pal-entine’s Day.” According to Gosling, it’s a day where guys are supposed to be emotionally honest with each other and tell their friends they love them. “I love you, bro.” Mikey immediately sounds confused… asking if the whole thing is secretly some kind of marketing stunt. Then Gosling starts talking about giving an alien a Valentine’s card and saying “fist my bump.” The silence between them is brutal. The clip ends with Gosling calling Mikey “my sweet prince.” People watching say the secondhand embarrassment is off the charts. Although they never outright admit it, the bizarre “Pal-entine’s Day” FaceTime call looks like a prank tied to Gosling’s upcoming film Project Hail Mary. Is this actually funny… or just painfully awkward?

@TicTocTick West is Saudi Arabia Sunshine

Dubai airport at the moment . Wealthy expats are willing to pay as much as half a million dollars per person to escape . But all aircraft is grounded . To the North , there is Afghanistan. To east is Pakistan, to west is Iran. To south is desert.

@SimonSperling God this guy is insufferable. Wish he'd retire and disappear.

@politicalmath I feel this. My biggest frustration at the moment is YouTube on smart TVs. For whatever reason it's impossible to completely remove from my TV and restrict access. Even if you "disable" it always comes back to life.

I'm so frustrated at being a parent in this garbage digital age. I hate short-form video. TikTok / YouTube trash is just pure brain-rot and I can't stand it. I try to keep my kids away from it. I gave them access to Spotify b/c I want them to enjoy music and develop their musical tastes and personalities. That was working pretty well. They would go onto Spotify on the XBox and listen to music and explore that space. Good for them. But what does Spotify do? They put short form videos into their app. Now my kids are watching the videos instead of listening to the music. I have to decide if I have to take Spotify away from them (along with all their playlists) because Spotify pulled this bait-and-switch on me and turned an app that I felt good about giving to my kids into another brain-rotting platform of garbage. Every month something like this happens. It's impossible to navigate this as a parent, even if you're largely on top of things. It's exhausting and dispiriting.

@Rainmaker1973 "Grid management" = import of coal baseload energy from neighbouring states when renewable output drops to zero. It's a positive story no doubt but don't neglect the fact that the grid is still propped up by dispatchable generation.

South Australia is on the cusp of achieving 100% net renewable electricity generation. In the final quarter of 2025, the state sourced an impressive 84% of its electricity from solar and wind alone—the highest share of variable renewables on any major grid globally, according to the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO). This milestone highlights South Australia's pioneering shift from fossil fuels, demonstrating that high levels of intermittent clean sources, backed by storage and grid management, can reliably power a modern economy. The state is now pushing hard to hit its target ahead of schedule, with plans aiming for 100% net renewables by the end of 2026 (though official projections and legislation often cite 2027 as the firm goal, recent progress—including new wind farm deals—suggests acceleration is possible). This rapid decarbonization delivers clear economic wins: wholesale electricity prices in South Australia have fallen sharply—dropping by about 30% year-on-year in late 2025—making them among the lowest in the country. The surge in low-cost solar and wind has driven these reductions, with occasional negative pricing reflecting excess renewable output. South Australia stands as a compelling real-world model for other regions and countries, proving that aggressive renewable integration can simultaneously advance environmental goals, enhance energy security, and deliver tangible savings for consumers.

@KatieMiller Capacity ≠ generation

Solar is now the dominant source of new U.S. power capacity and is on track to surpass coal in total installed capacity before the end of 2026. 70 GW of new solar capacity is scheduled to come online in 2026–2027 → a 49% increase in operating solar capacity from the end of 2025.

@ArthurCDent Wrong. I've always been asked for ID. They need to check who you are before crossing your name off the electoral roll list.

In Australia, voters are never asked for ID. The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) is widely cited internationally as a model of electoral administration. Instances of fraud are so small scale and rare as to be utterly inconsequential.

@cheryl_kernot @crikey_news Facts are polls are through the basement. The irony of this is the libs have lost votes to Pauline - another woman in politics. It has nothing to do with gender. Stfu

From day one, Sussan Ley was undermined by a little boys’ club of resentful men who hate women in politics via @crikey_news crikey.com.au/2026/02/13/sus…

@BBCWorld She became liberal leader and polls f***ing tanked because she has no backbone. It's nothing to do with gender. Get over it.

Sussan Ley and the glass cliff: Does Australian politics still have a problem with women? bbc.in/4bNh8EN

@JaneCaro Sussan had a fair go. Polls tanked. The data doesn't lie. The fucking irony here is libs are losing votes to another woman. If your rhetoric is about gender then you should be supporting Pauline now yes??

The Libs will be feeling much more comfortable. A white, private school educated man is back in charge, God’s in his heaven and all is right with the world…until they leave the party room. Good luck chaps. You’re going to need it.

@BelindaJones68 She had a fair go. Polls tanked. If you really care about women in politics then why aren't you supporting Pauline? The irony here is that she lost voter support to another woman.

Australian women see the Liberal Party for exactly who they are - misogynists The blokes just couldn't handle a woman in the top job, didn't even give her a fair go We are so sick of this shit & we will vote accordingly 🐝 #auspol

@BarackObama @redistrictact Wtaf this is the most blatant BS I've ever seen. Having ID as a requirement to vote is simple common sense. If people can't prove citizenship then that's their problem.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @RedistrictAct and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact…

@markgkenny Do you understand how polls work?

Political recidivism. Women and younger voters abandon the party in droves, and tearing down their first female leader after less than a year, is their response? Clearly, the boys want their party back.
