When asked if the govt’s new Apprenticeship program was β€œworthwhile”, Jacinta Price said
β€œThrowing more taxpayer money to boost trades isn’t the answer”

Doesn’t want taxpayers funding trades, but happy to slug them for hubby to attend CPAC events? Really disgraceful. #auspol

Strong agree. The β€œwe pay taxes too” argument doesn’t wash either. If you pay taxes and don’t use public transport there’s no expectation of the government subsiding your car, the fuel and service costs or building the garage you keep it in.

Trump lashes out at Spain, says he is 'going to cut off all trade' The US president criticised the Spanish government after it blocked the US from using its bases during the attack on Iran.

Spain is clearly doing something right.

Last week we said wages were not driving inflation. Today the latest data shows wages were up 0.9% in the Dec 2025 quarter. Profits were up... 6.4% and non-mining profits were up 5.5%.

Gee what a coincidence that happened at the same time inflation spiked

Interestingly, Bush called a criminal act by non-government individuals an act of war and used it as an excuse to invade two countries.

Why are we spending $130 million on a Royal Commission into antisemitism, but nothing to tackle Islamophobia or any other form of racism? Do some lives matter more than others? #auspol

Migrants are who we are - Grattan Institute When political opportunists come for migrants, it is kids in schools across this country who bear the scars.

My boss wrote a piece in support of migration – and migrants.

It’s good. Makes me proud.

Police foil alleged terror attack plan on public buildings Police have charged a 20-year-old man they allege was planning a "mass casualty" terror attack targeting public buildings and Muslim places of worship in Western Australia.

At some point conservative politicians in Australia will have to face a reckoning for encouraging white supremacism and ignorant rage.

And every one of the owners of the biggest platforms has allowed or ensured the severe enshittification of its service, & in many cases an increase in the abuse and disrespect of women & the endangerment of children. Boy billionaires, making the world worse for everyone else as fast as they can.

Tech CEOs Confused by Why Everybody Hates AI So Much With public sentiment on AI resoundly negative, the tech CEOs pushing the new tech only seem to be doubling down.

Here's a hint - it's personal as well, we also hate you each individually and everything you do turns things to shit so... .

Financial Times exclusive: Tens of thousands of internal emails and documents released by the US Department of Justice as part of the Epstein files paint for the first time a vivid picture of how Deutsche Bank rolled out the red carpet for the serial sexual abuser.

Hate Speech, Hanson and One Nation: The Erosion of Australia’s Social Cohesion Addressing isolated racism whilst ignoring that against other ethnicities or cultures is a bandage to a systemic wound.

Pauline Hanson’s bigotry and vitriol have real world consequences for people. It empowers racists, who otherwise might not act out their impulses. The problem is exacerbated when those feeling empowered are police or public servants with power & influence

I’m surprised the appeal didn’t find that the original magistrate was pissed. Certainly sounds like it.
