The five biggest defense contractors spent more than $100B on buybacks and dividends since 2020. I have a simple question for defense contractors: If taxpayers are giving you billions to build military equipment, why are you buying back your own stock? This needs to stop.

Taxpayers are forking out $2.5b for Rio Tinto's electricity bill. Should they?
The deal to save the Tomago smelter raises important questions about Australian industry policy.

Part-time Pauline Hag-son who calls workers "lazy" and voted against raising the minimum wage really loves poverty. She now wants to end superannuation so more people will live in poverty when they retire.
Whilst there is an Inquiry going on into 3 suicides in a ward that was overcapacity .... right oh 🙄 #qldpol

It really is farcical/tragic/outrageous having Ben-Gvir preaching hate and inciting violence based on ethnicity, while we sit here in Australia hearing that criticism of Israel's government's acts constitutes anti-Semitism.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: ASIO no. 2 is being rushed through parliament this week. This is the bill that allows warrantless questioning by ASIO, without a lawyer, and you can't tell a soul without being sent to prison. Share this widely and make some noise.
🍉lets imagine how the world media would react if we reversed this and someone said: GAZANS (replacing israeli forces) should carry out targeted operations to kill "30 or 40" people in ISRAEL (replacing Gaza) every night ... theyre not even people the world would be horrified, instead of shrugs

Jim Chalmers calls out the LNP and One Nation for “working around the clock to undermine & diminish” Super, saying after Bragg’s, Hume’s, Canavan’s and Hanson’s attacks, come election time a vote for LNP/OP will be the “biggest risk to universal Super” in its “40yr history”💥
David Shoebridge rips into the major parties for “meeting in dark rooms” with their “One Nation mates” to give gas corps a free ride despite their “wartime profits” while “cutting the deal to drive 160,000 ppl off the NDIS”💥 #auspol
I find Israel's appalling atrocities against the people of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria & Iran genuinely terrifying. I find my Australian Govt's complicity in Israel's crimes, its profiteering from arms sales and its active support for the Zionist agenda here in Australia deeply disturbing. 😢 #auspol
I think our ABC should stop covering Un-Nation and Pooline until they are allowed back into their press conferences. If she doubles down we win, if she backflips we win.
A corrupt cryptocurrency firm backed by the orange felon named World Liberty Financial was given the green light by his MAGA official for a bank charter. One of the most criminally brazen acts of self dealing in US history. This asshole should be in jail, not in the White House.
Sexual pervert Donald Trump is obsessed with other people‘s genitalia and sexuality. It is sick. It is cruel. And he is still a rapist. 😡
