Oil prices: Trump’s Truth Social post sparks market chaos theage.com.au/business/marke…

Major parties happy to spend hundreds of billions on submarines they hope we'll get in the 2030s and 40s for national security reasons, but we haven't seen the same investments into fuel security. So 🇦🇺 is exposed to global price shocks when there’s conflict overseas. Investing more in electrification would cut costs and strengthen our resilience, but it has to be done in a way that benefits every household. abc.net.au/news/2026-03-2…

Pardoning dozens of fraudsters sure is an interesting approach for someone who claims to be cracking down on fraud nytimes.com/2026/03/19/us/…

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

The escalation of violence in the Middle East has killed or injured hundreds of children in Lebanon, where more than a million people have been forced to flee their homes. @UNICEF's Ted Chaiban describes the devastation he witnessed on a recent visit to the country.

Truth in political advertising rules & Lobbying reform are both necessary if we are to have any hope of restoring trust in politics & and ensuring people feel genuinely represented. So why are the major parties putting self interest and vested interests ahead of the interests of the Australian people and our democracy? I have bills in the senate to implement both of these, in line with what I've been hearing from people in the ACT. @abcnews abc.net.au/news/2026-03-2…

Chatham House expert exposes the chilling truth behind the ceasefire. It is just a pause to calm the global markets. She predicts the US and Israel will resume bombing Iran the exact second the markets close on Friday.

Israeli minister calls for annexation of southern Lebanon theage.com.au/world/middle-e…

Absolute bombshell. Trump casually admits on live TV to intentionally sinking 158 Iranian ships instead of capturing them because it was more fun. He then jokes about systematically extinguishing two entire sets of 88 Iranian leaders. The absolute hubris is staggering.

In 40 minutes, Donald said: the Strait of Hormuz isn't closed, but he wants it reopened; we’re not at war with Iran, but our allies are cowards for not helping; he wants a ceasefire, but he doesn’t want one. He also declared victory three times. Such clarity. Such leadership.
