Richard Marles Awards Trump Peace Guru Of Gaza Sweepstakes
In a plot twist worthy of an alternate universe crossover, Acting PM Richard Marles joined Senate legend Penny Wong to credit Donald Trump with single-handedly securing the release of all Israeli hostages from Gaza, live on Channel Nine's Today show. Marles called it 'an achievement that is incredible and will be remembered by history,' which sounds exactly like the tagline for a canceled reality show. Meanwhile, in fiscal witchery, the government tweaked superannuation tax concessions in October 2025: slapped down the richest balances while pumping up low-income super tax offsets so young Aussies might retire someday without cereal for dinner. Intergenerational equity never sounded so much like an Avengers storyline.
