Australia’s gas resources belong to Australians, not the gas companies. A minimum 25% gas export tax is only fair. It means Australians get a return on the extraction of our resources and we can fund public programs for the benefit of all. 📷 Credit: Mike Bowers #auspol #politas

🚨 Do you understand what happened today.. a single Monday.. > Zuckerberg announced he's building AI to do his own CEO job.. after firing 31,000 people to "protect" it.. > someone bought $1.5 billion in S&P futures FIVE MINUTES before Trump announced halting attacks on Iran.. the biggest insider trade in broad daylight.. > then the Pentagon started deploying airtroops to Iran anyway.. the "peace" lasted 12 hours.. > then Iran launched missiles at Israel tonight.. so the peace someone made $1.5 billion off of was never real.. > OpenAI started guaranteeing Wall Street 17.5% minimum returns AND early access to unreleased models.. nonprofit to "we'll pay you to invest in us".. > Jensen Huang told Lex Fridman "I think we've achieved AGI".. then walked it back in the same sentence.. the man selling the shovels just said the gold rush is over and expects you to keep buying.. > Claude launched an AI that sits at your desk and does your entire job while you're not in the room.. shipped it as a Monday night feature update.. > Goldman Sachs raised US recession probability to 30%.. > the owner of OnlyFans died at 43 with $3 billion.. couldn't buy more time.. > Larry Fink called tokenization "the next internet" after calling Bitcoin money laundering for years.. all of this.. one Monday.. if you're not following me you're finding out about this 48 hours late from someone who read my post.. it's only getting crazier from here.


BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.
