America-envy. The pet shop galahs of economic commentary - Michael West
The Great Australian Whinge is alive and well in market and economic commentary. America is so much better, the likely suspects tell us.

I’m glad the President has his priorities straight.
This guy never served. He faked an injury to avoid the draft. None of his children have served. He called those who did serve their country "suckers and losers." He skipped the centenary memorial for servicemen who died in WWI because it was drizzling. This is more than usually repellent.
We've reached the point where caring is radical. #auspol

"Expect everything blamed but the war." And more specifically, everyone blamed except the Netanyahu regime and Israel's local lobby who deliberately align Judaism with genocidal Israel. And in so doing, greatly increase the risk of antisemitism and undermine 'social cohesion'. #auspol

ABC News Australia@news.abc.net.au · 2d agoUS vows to dismantle International Criminal Court. Experts say it's 'very worrying'
As I wrote a few weeks ago, Australia's federal data centre guidelines **DO NOT** limit the use of fossil fuels. You can build a single 1 watt solar panel plus 2 gigawatts of gas and be in compliance. Nicely laid out here: www.minister.industry.gov.au/king/media/i...
![STEWART BRASH: There’s set to be 12 data centres planned for the Northern Territory,
some are more advanced than others. SunCable are talking about one, in the Barkly
Murranji Station, also in the Northern Barkly, one hyperscaled, one in the Darwin rural area
as well.
Now the Chief Minister, Lia Finocchiaro, wants a carve-out for the NT when it comes to
power and water, 'cause the Prime Minister's made it clear he wants unified guidelines
relating to the development of data centres across the country. The Chief Minister
wants – well, we're different, we have access to power, we have access to say gas, easy
gas, and also to water. What's the Federal Government's perspective on the call for that
carve-out by Lia Finocchiaro?
MINISTER MADELEINE KING: It is important to have uniform rules and to have a
framework around data centres, which is a new industry. And if we think about the gas
reservation. If only we had done this reserve type work 15 years ago before the exports
started, it wouldn't be as complicated to implement now.
And that's the same for data centres, we need to have some ground rules, because people,
you know, they read a lot in the media about how much water, we're not quite sure how
much water, some demand more than others, the power they require is enormous.
Nonetheless they're inevitable, and they're going to be important for our future, and I think
it was – well, I know it was the Pope in his encyclical wrote, “It is the building site of our
time,” or “the construction site of our time.”
STEWART BRASH: Well it’s the Industrial Revolution --
MINISTER MADELEINE KING: And we want to be part of it.

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

Astounding that the @greens.org.au are the only ‘party ‘ that appears to be actively uncovering such huge and unchecked corporate corruption. Tim Costello is a reliable witness. I do not expect a comment from @markbutlermp.bsky.social on the harm caused by gambling and drugs. #auspol

Fuck all the way off with this. Howard has never liked multiculturalism. Not because it denotes ‘different tribes’ but because he can’t imagine anyone but someone who looks and thinks like him as ‘Australian’.
The points Miller makes in his video are common from abusers. He recorded her. He calls her crazy. He says she was nice to him. He says she never went to a doctor. Anyone who is a survivor of DV has heard all of it.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 4d agoAnyone who has worked with domestic violence victims know the answer to this is too often yes.
RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.

Imogen @imogenib.bsky.social · 4d agowww.abc.net.au/news/2026-08... In NSW there’s far more AirBnB’s than there are long term rental listings. The numbers are staggering. And residents are being pushed out for short term profits and those enjoying their holidays with homes to go back to. These are creating #homelessness. #auspol 🤬
He dumped water we needed in LA to fight the Palisades wildfires into the Central Valley just to fuck us over and it wasted water they needed for the grow season. No one remembers this either. It's insane.
