The OECD has confirmed again that corporate profits cause inflation in 202 and also the most recent rise at the end of last year (all of which the RBA decided needed interest rate rises to hurt workers) My column for @thepointau.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/opinions/270...

Explosion and partial collapse of Aeon Mall Kumamoto (basically Japanese Westfield)’s second floor seems **really** bad Many dead according to prefectural police who spoke anonymously to a local broadcaster news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/61f...

⚡️Russian attacks kill 9, injure almost 70 across Ukraine as strikes on gas stations continue. In an overnight assault, Russian forces launched 131 drones across Ukraine, the Air Force said. It added that Ukrainian air defenses downed 107 drones over the country.

Parents all over Australia will be looking at the new #Diamond s #netball dresses thinking they’re gonna have to buy new outfits next season. They’re somewhere between a shirt and a dress and need to be pulled down every time the players touch the ball!

Whatever you think of Jacinta Allen, it's the kiss of death for Victorian Labor that her likely replacement, Ben Carroll, is described as "the Richard Marles candidate". #springst #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

#ABC news 24 always asks banking economists (like Jo Masters (r)) about weekly ABS economic reports and they always say inflation (3.6%) is too high, suggesting rates must rise. Why not interview a single mum agency, a welfare group, anyone who says there must be a better way? #Auspol

The media has been wildly played: the Telehealth issue (no one ever heard of) ensures no one questions Aukus, Palestine, AI, Environment, Migration, Trump, DV. #Auspol

I would never eat dinner with Donald Trump. I would never clap or laugh at his jokes. I would never shake his hand. When he attacks me, I wear his scorn as a badge of honor. I founded Democracy Docket to never back down or obey. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

I just finished the BBC series “The Capture” which now makes much more sense as a documentary!

A different format for the #SundayShot today. @davemilbo.bsky.social & I chat about the news of the week before I interview Andrew Dodd & Matthew Ricketson about their excellent book GETTING MURDOCHED and Dave sits down with the impressive @davidshoebridge.bsky.social. youtu.be/s5VZ7FXnzPw?...

If you work in care services - warn your staff and clients in advance, particularly if they have sensory or behavioural issues. Turn phones off completely

‘Bordeaux…is considering a total evacuation of the city of 270,000 people, with fires just 30 miles away. ‘France has already launched its largest peacetime evacuation.’ www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/c6ffeee...

Well we all know how well the Rudd Gillard Rudd period panned out 😒

#insiders being taken for a ride. Four days ago no-one had heard about Telehealth for assisted dying, which will affect a handful of people a year, now it’s squeezed out all other serious debate. ALP will be delighted no one is questioning how it’s governing! #Auspol

Some misty eyed revisionism going on as #insiders panel tries to convince themselves there are “exchanges of ideas” at Alp National conference. When was the last policy debate at these conferences that made any difference? It’s all or/theatre and the media are the actors as well. #Auspol

Reality doesn’t care about political talking points. This isn’t because Spain and France forgot to rake the forest. This is climate change, plain and simple, and it’s only going to get worse. 🚨 Nearly 200,000 people are running for their lives from out-of-control wildfires.

Driving home from town, I listened to the latest ep of the very excellent podcast Truth, Lies, & Media. A very good and open discussion about the ABC, Jillian Segal, and lots of other good stuff. Check it out 👍🏻 #PodcastSky #Auspol #AusPods @nicolechvastek.bsky.social
