Exactly as expected, the BOM defends its crappy new website. Most likely the feedback it requests will be ignored and we'll be stuck with yet another enshittified public service. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Mental illness? Or specifically, (untreatable) personality disorders? Bc I feel like what we're seeing nationally is more of the latter. It's not a bunch of people with depression & anxiety running the country, it's narcissists & sociopaths, & the ONLY solution is to keep them far, far from power

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... The old site was concise, logical, informative and easily navigated. The new one wallows in white-space and unnecessary sub-menus. Too many clicks required to get to too little information. Whilst the former site needed updating this is not what is required.

@wolfierankin.bsky.social newatlas.com/health-wellb... Not ulcerative colitis but still interesting:

Job agency companies and bosses continue to make an extraordinary amount of money from a Mutual Obligations system we now know operates unlawfully Here's the latest example of what they're doing with that public funding. Enjoy Sarina at the Louis Vuitton resort in St Tropez 👇

Opinion | The media would have you believe Barnaby Joyce is a sort of maverick political genius. In fact his ego means he’s politically poison to his own side, @keanebernard.bsky.social writes.

Crisafulli suggests he made a poor choice of words with his comments about #Melbourne. I'd say that the LNP made a poor choice of leader for their party. #Auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Andrew Hastie reminds me of Pete Hegseth……. He’s denying that he’s planning to challenge SuSSan Ley for the LNP leadership…….. Deniers are Liars…….

This is very good news. Meeting Trump is a bad idea that never helps anyone or any country. Stay as far away from the fetid, racist, sex pest as you can. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

But whatever Waleed says in a tone of pompous superiority, couched in complex conditioned phrasing, is entirely true. Always. Regardless. 🧐

Union members at the ABC and across the media industry stand with John Lyons and reject the US President’s unfounded attacks on our colleague. #MEAAmedia

ABC’s John Lyons has fired back at Donald Trump’s “absurd notion” that asking legitimate questions could damage relations b/w the US & Australia “If our job as journalists is to hold truth to power, then surely asking legitimate questions politely…should be acceptable”🔥💯 #Abc

Slight amendment: 4. Voting on public holidays, early voting, and postal voting; allowing everyone to vote when it's convenient to - as opposed to the very common situation in the US where people have to line up for 8+ hours for their one and only chance to vote.

A lot of people erroneously believe that US and Australian cultures are very similar. They are not - in the US, Babet (an accidental Senator who won't get re-elected) would have a million followers and enmeshed in the daily outrage grift machine. Here he's treated like dogshit you avoid stepping in.

Can't remember who complained that my cartoon back in February was antisemitic.

The first story I did for Crikey back in 2021 was reporting on a leaked neo-nazi manual showing how "media baiting" — aka tricking journalists into writing about them — was a major strategy for them. www.crikey.com.au/20...

Katter is not an “eccentric” and the media really needs to stop soft soaping him.

@amsickofpollies.bsky.social @kornetzke.bsky.social The guy who wrote this.

Mark Dreyfus has called out Tim Wilson’s nasty & intimidatory electoral campaign in #Goldstein which included incidents of abuse, harassment, even death threats. Dreyfus credits Zoe Daniel & says, unlike Wilson, her campaign was one of integrity. Shame on you Wilson. #auspol

It's really not that complicated. Listen to Dick.

Rather pathetic for Bob Katter to be angrily boasting about his family having been in Australia "since the dawn of time" (140 years) without acknowledging or respecting Indigenous Australians who've been here for at least 65,000 years. #auspol #whitewashing #racism

The Choice findings on sunscreen testing are yet another example of the failure of industry self-regulation. I mean, what’s a few tens of thousands of skin cancer cases between friends, right? No biggie. Self-regulation doesn’t work. Ever.
