This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. nytimes.com/2025/05/27/us/…

This is not a US presidency, it's a mobster running a criminal enterprise out of the White House. In American history, we've never seen a criminal like Trump: The corrupt, serial lying conman pardoned tax cheat Paul Walczak after his mother bribed Trump with $1 million at a

The NACC has now been in operation for almost two years and it has made headlines, not by tackling corruption, but from repeatedly stumbling over conflicts of interest. That cannot be allowed to continue.

Good job here calling out the ridiculous situation of a $5b site paying next to no land tax. Also shows that laws that determine what sites can be used for can change private values, and that the public should share in gains from law changes.

I know people don't like it but this highlights exactly why when you are upzoning (or trying to) there should be a windfall gains tax. As the owner you've been lucky because of a government decision and the financial benefit of that luck shouldn't just be handed over to you.

Liberals just don't like houseo...learned nothing, forgotten everything ‘People don’t want state-owned homes’: Coalition overhauls its housing policies afr.com/politics/feder…

Michael Pascoe "People don't want state-owned homes" shout the Liberals from their la la lofty heights. Oh YES they do!!! Just ask the thousands of ppl living in tents, cars or couch surfing. Many of them working ppl who cannot find a home to rent or afford to buy at astronomical prices.

With so much ridiculous-to-the-point-of-embarrassing BS around about the proposed super tweaks, it's a pleasure to read someone who actually knows the details of what they're talking about. (But I still think taxing unrealised capital gains is wrong.) afr.com/policy/tax-and…

At least 120,000 people remain captive in online-fraud facilities in Myanmar, the United Nations reckons. According to some estimates, the industry dwarfs the global illicit-drug trade in value econ.st/3Svvfnk

Sure, we'd love to subsidise American consumers for having a shit government... A case for the ACCC to look very closely at what would effectively be price gouging here

A scrutineer tells me some One Hanson voters took James Asby's advice to heart. He told them to put Greens, Teals and Labor last. So they did - equal last which made their votes informal.
