Still waiting for my fairy Godmother

Human-caused climate change is increasing the risk of hotter temperatures, including these dangerous heat waves. Watch the entire distribution shift to the right. I'm afraid these headlines about record heat are only going to become more common. 🌡️ Visualization by svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5613/

Deb O’Neill skewers Hume & LNPs new tax dodge bill “for 103K high wealth individuals”, after they “screamed” against tax cuts for 13.3M Aussies “The mischaracterisation of this bill as a support for women is just another joke from a party that has barely a woman in the house”🔥

Prominent economist Saul Eslake demolishes LNP’s ‘aspiration’ myth saying their 1999 CGT discount failed to build a nation of entrepreneurs & shareholders, in fact, those rates only fell since 1999, while “disproportionately favouring richer & older Australians”💥 #auspol

Funny that. John Kehoe happy to mention that the taxpayer is picking up the tab for the solar battery subsidy while not making the same point when the topic was negative gearing or CGT - where the taxpayer also picks up the subsidy. 🙄 #insiders

Having Alan Kohler on #insiders is making Phil Coorey, Samantha Maiden and David Speers quite uncomfortable. Alan is a knowledgeable person pushing back against the panel’s usual shallow focus on politics. Go Alan. You love to see it.
