A smarter model for paying for college: income-based repayment. You start paying your student loans only once you earn enough to comfortably get by. That turns higher ed debt into something more like a tax surcharge on success, not a choke collar on people who are struggling.

As journalism rapidly erodes, Laura Tingle's acuity, integrity & courage place her among Australia's finest. Equally, Sarah Ferguson pressing Josh Frydenberg on his political motives after blaming Albo for Bondi was sharp & essential. The ABC backing both was long overdue #auspol

Smart Energy Council’s John Grimes calls out Peter Dutton’s “utter rubbish” claims that Renewables do not have enough “base load power” & slams the LNP for trying to deceive the public with the use of the term “Base Load Power is a 1950s concept that has been utterly debunked”🔥

Wow Sussan Ley has changed her tune, here she is 5yrs ago talking about Net Zero like it’s the best thing in the world “As Environment Minister no one wants to get to Net Zero more quickly than I do” “We can get there, we should get there, & we have to bring the ppl with us”🙈

If the Libs abandon Net Zero, I would suspect that fund will double overnight. I think it would be political madness.
