Four frames. Title: “The rules”. Albo and Penny Wong at a lectern. 1. Albo: “Some of you have asked if rules still apply, so we’d like to clear things up.” Wong: “Obviously we shouldn’t kill!” 2. Albo: “However, if you hurt or kill someone and enough people agree they were bad, then the rules aren’t up to us.” Wong: “It’s a ‘matter for them’” 3. Albo : “Also, if you get someone else to do the killing for you and someone accuses you of it, that’s ‘a conspiracy’” Wong: “Against the rules!” 4. Plus, if thousands of innocent people get killed when you kill the bad person, you must focus on the six people you saved.” Wong: “That’s the rule!”

The NACC held *35 days* of private hearings in its investigation into Robodebt corruption, but decided that these hearings didn't need to be public.

I, for one, would have liked to have watched the corruption hearing of Scott Morrison

If there was ever a moment for Australia’s shift to renewables and EVs, this is it Yes, Australia needs fuel. But the Middle East war also shows the necessity of setting ourselves up for the future

So maybe a rapid transition to renewables not such a stupid idea after all.

Single panel editorial cartoon. FM Wong is facing a press conference struggling to gather and hold on to everything she is carrying and she says, “Look, for the last time, we’re not involved . . . just considering our options”. There is luggage labelled with travel stickers for Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, an inflatable baby trump, a suitcase full of money, papers that say, defence, trade, protection, secret, weapons industry, Darwin, RAAF Amberley (with a golden key), a bag labelled pine gap, a submarine under the arm labelled AUKUS, five eyes on stick and a surveillance dish.

✍️ PETITION: Tax the gas industry its fair share Tax the gas industry its fair share! Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports could solve the gas crisis – and raise $17 billion every year at the same time. ✍️ Add your name now...

“Australians are tired of gas industry not paying its fair share of taxes & royalties.

Australians are tired of endless excuses from govts who fail to stand up to gas industry.

25% tax on gas exports could end gas shortages engineered by gas industry…”

Scene is a room at the White House. On the left, Pete Hegseth is lifting a weight with a macho posture. Marco Rubio saying "who says we DON"T have a plan?" while standing next to a whiteboard that has 
"Operation EPIC FURY
1. Kill Leader
2. Win War
3. Collect spoils and peace prizes"
On the far right Trump is sitting on a throne dressed as a King, holding a diet coke and burger

It took two hours for Albanese to declare support for the latest US/Israeli war crimes.

How long has it taken the Labor Party to consider raising the rate? To halting fossil fuels? To seriously address the racism to First Nations and Muslims?

The ALP in your head is long dead.

As violence spreads across the Middle East now more then ever we need our Government to be a force for peace. That starts with withdrawing support for US-backed forever wars.
