Cool !
Independent MP Nicolette Boele has spoken to 6 News after her narrow victory in Bradfield, saying the crossbench can still succeed despite Labor's large majority in parliament.

@RaymondPierreL3 I really wish ABC would stop slavishly platforming them. If they must be mentioned at all, it should be, always, with brusque analysis showing why everything they say is either bullshit or a lie.
Or both.
Could this be the death of Australia’s nightmarish welfare system? Mutual obligation is one of the last great shibboleths of Australian politics. Now the entire system is under scrutiny with potentially big implications for our welfare system.

AUKUS in doubt as US starts review into whether the deal is ‘America First’
Well butter me sideways & call me toast, this ranks right up there in the "well, duh" stakes. In the wee small hours heard snippet of Murray Watt bloviating that all is well, & i would say that i can't wait to hear Marles desperately spinning on this except i always turn the sound off if ever that waste of space is interviewed.
IMO the most pressing question is... once orangeoaf & co officially [inevitably] kill this, & also predictably refuse to return our money, will our first wave of our invasion of Merka be the elite Emu Squad, or do we hold them back til a little later in the battle?
There's nothing new per se here, but it's nonetheless a saddening read, gaaaaah.
Climate litigation isn’t ‘activist lawfare’, it’s democracy at work. The oil, coal and gas industries have strategically ducked and weaved litigation for decades, but the law is catching up with them.
Pocock is no longer a kingmaker, so is the ACT independent senator irrelevant?
Are the TasLabs still doing their childish refusal to work with the Greens?
Crikey, it's Mark Kenny!
Study considers whether female MPs are representing women's interests
#ABC #RadioNational #Brekkie this morn...
Highlight: Interview with Nicolette Boele ... she seems like she's a Good Peep
afaict
Lowlight: Breathless reporting on & discussion about how Mr Nukes of the Liebs is in high dudgeon about the merest possibility that the Lab govt might have the temerity to deal with the Greens in the Senate to pass the Super tax changes, instead of respecting the fact that the Liebs & Nuts vehemently demur. I mean... the sheer gall & unreality of these loser sociopaths!
Forget climate denial, Labor’s tactical fatalism will burn us all. The climate movement is ill-equipped to deal with a threat that looks like this. Any fantasy we had of a global moral pact of good intentions is dead.
Americans should pay for American stupidity. And Australia should make them. Big corporations are planning to force consumers outside of the US to pay higher prices so Americans won’t pay the full cost of Trump’s tariffs. They need to be exposed.

Oooh, @LaTingle comes to the Party [Room]! Woot!
Laura Tingle on when politics is at its best
.
Laura Tingle joins Fran and PK for one last party — and more importantly, one last strawberry daiquiri -- before she wraps up her 40-years in the press gallery.
.
And the Coalition is officially back together, and leader Sussan Ley has announced the make-up of her shadow cabinet. But while plenty of fresh faces have been elevated, some key names have been overlooked. So, will Sussan Ley and David Littleproud be able to maintain party unity?
.
And it's reconciliation week, so will a second term Albanese Government use its strong majority to push forward on Treaty and Truth like former Labor Senator and father of reconciliation Pat Dodson has called for?
.
Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly are joined by Laura Tingle, ABC's 7.30 Political Editor on The Party Room.
IMO "productivity", at least wrt how 2PP pollies wield it, is utterly bogus meaningless bullshit.
Peter Martin this morn on RN Brekkie unwittingly emphasised its stupidity by pointing out that a great way to "increase productivity" [statistically] was demonstrated during the early Covid years when peeps stayed home & outlets like cafes & restaurants closed... so as he smugly said, if we wanna raise P, get these peeps to stay home again.
Why are we burdened with these arseholes... why do we keep electing these arseholes?
Atm listening to latest Democracy Sausage podcast. Mark Kenny just reminded me that this year is the
50th Anniversary
ABC pulls interview with Palestine advocate from website and iview. During the interview, Nasser Mashni made a pointed remark that it was time ‘for Palestine to be free, from the river to the sea’.
