So Herzog will make an Official Visit to Parliament on Tuesday and journalists have been asked not to report on it. This is really bad. https://bsky.app/profile/nickfeik.bsky.social/post/3me6doslork2b #BanHerzog #auspol #Gaza #StopIsrael

I'm very excited. Just got my first mastodon instance up and running.
Can't wait to start asking our MPs in Australia to join, I've written a little reasons to go Fedi piece too.
Special instance just for verified gov accounts.

I laugh at DNS blocking (the method I believe they'll use), but most normies wouldn't know how to get around it. Especially from their phones. So this is a good thing. It will be highly (though not completely) effective.
I hope ACMA's response to these claims of being a "prediction market" and "derivatives trading" was simply to say "Really? Really? How much fucking contempt do you have for us? That's a no". #GamblingHarm #FuckGambling #AusPol
Polymarket has been ruled by the Australian Government to be a gambling organisation, and thus without an Australian license is now illegal to use in Australia. Likely to be blocked to Australians. #GamblingHarm #FuckGambling #AusPol

The top 1% of income earners received 63% of the benefits from the capital gains tax discount. So says the Parliamentary Budget Office in a Greens-initiated report. The discount will cost the budget $250 bn by 2030, at a time when the budget is under intense pressure and housing prices remain out of reach for most younger people. Seems a no-brainer to wind back the discount. Over to you Jim Chalmers. #auspol #CGT #taxreform
