our company is going to cure all diseases and solve the world's greatest mysteries! But also sadly we have fallen for a devilish prank call where Bart Simpson asked if we knew a "Hugh Jass" or a "Seymour Butts"

NEW: In further embarrassing AI executive news this evening, OpenAI's national security officials were tricked into thinking they were speaking to the Ukrainian Intelligence service. It was actually a Russian prank duo, and they uploaded the call online. theintercept.com/2026/11/11/ope…

for what it's worth, Angus Taylor went to two of the three COP climate summits held while he was energy minister- including 2021 with PM Morrison where he spruiked Australia's net zero pledge

today he says people don't want a "lecture about climate change from a foreign capital"

Anthony Albanese could not be more out of touch.

Because he has completely lost control of spending, families and small businesses are paying more for everything.

Instead of taking responsibility, rolling up his sleeves, and doing everything he can to bring down inflation and interest rates, the Prime Minister got on another plane to go on another overseas trip.

Australians don’t need Anthony Albanese to give them another lecture about climate change from a foreign capital, they just want to pay less for their mortgage, groceries, and power bills.

They deserve a Prime Minister focused on the things that matter to them, not the things that matter to him.

A Taylor-Canavan Government will always put Australians first.

We will axe Labor’s toxic taxes, stop the out-of-control spending, scrap Net Zero, and get rid of red and green tape.

That’s how you fix the economy.
