Looks like Labor is about to approve the North West shelf gas expansion, which among bad news for the planet and WA energy costs is terrible for the nearby Murujuga rock art - which is so old, it has one of the first known depictions of the human face australiainstitute.org.au/post/woodsides…

Approving this would be the greatest giveaway of Australia’s natural resources ever. $200 billion +of Australia’s gas given royalty free to Woodside. It is against Australia’s national interest. theguardian.com/australia-news…

If the LNP remains split, Joshua Black & Bill Browne note it would be the biggest crossbench since WWII. But before WWII big crossbenches were common #OffTheCharts australiainstitute.org.au/post/end-of-th…

The AFR is showing just how absurd is the scare campaign against the super tax changes. They give an eg where someone's super goes from $2m to $3.18m in a year! Yep a $1.18m increase. How much extra tax? $1,528! OMG!! THAT'S OUTRAG... err... oh actually that's bugger all

There's a lot of fearmongering about a potential modest change to super tax concessions. As Greg explains, the changes would only marginally affect the very wealthiest; those with over $3m in super, less than 1% of all Australians. It's a good idea. Greg Jericho #auspol

Worried you might one day have more than $3m in super and then might get less of a tax break? First off, seriously, you are worried about having $3m in super?? Secondly, as @grogsgamut writes, stop worrying: you are almost certainly not going to have $3m. australiainstitute.org.au/post/dont-be-f…

Australia's big four banks make $200,880 in profit on the average 30-year home loan for owner-occupiers. No wonder Greg Jericho wasn't impressed seeing this ad from CommBank pretending like they're helping fix the housing crisis. ⤵️ #auspol
