This is not just a policy backflip. This is an abdication of elected responsibility—a betrayal of trust that puts mining profits ahead of Australia’s climate future. The elders are watching, and we will not be silent.

The Melbourne Cup: A Carnival Of Inequality, Absurdity and Status
The Melbourne Cup bills itself as “the race that stops a nation.” But what stops: a celebration of sport and equality, or a yearly demonstration of who holds real power in Australia?

The Liberals’ Death Rattle: Net Zero
The Liberal Party is not in recovery. It is in entropy. Its long devotion to neoliberal fantasy has hollowed out its own voter base, surrendered its autonomy to Murdoch, and trapped it inside Sky News performance art. The Teals did not defeat the Liberals. Reality did. Labor now inherits a broken ecosystem.

He rose through the SDA—the union that collaborated with supermarket chains rather than fighting them. He helped orchestrate Kevin Rudd’s removal when the PM threatened mining profits. Now he controls trade policy, ministerial appointments, and the invisible machinery that keeps Labor compliant. The Saturday Paper presents this as diplomatic skill. It’s systematic capture of a workers’ party by those who’ve abandoned workers.
