Our lovely @tasgamemakers.com president @hey.paris wrote a PHENOMENAL National Cultural Policy submission, and the board has decided to share it on our website for all to read to support national advocacy efforts: tasgamemakers.com/policies-and...

Here's my National Culutural Policy Submission "Dinkum.exe"

Big love to Freeplay man. 🫰🏼🫰🏼 If they hadn't put the effort into sharing points to include in the national cultural policy submissions Blakfullas would have been hung out to dry again. You cannot leave it to us to be the sole voice or to fix the problem of Pillar ONE! FIRST!. Shamejob you fullas.

"Were implementing a process to add an impact verification check and approval to increase the priority of a ticket to 1 or 2. " Soon as one director gets up in arms about an issue with an undefined impact, process goes out the window. Sand walls that say they protect you will not from the tide.

Here's Where I'm gonna be so far this year folks! come see me at an event near you! I've got some super exciting things releasing this year. #melbourne #ballarat

The impotence of state based agencies, Blakfullas and careers in games.

Tonight. Say hi if you are able to make it🫰🏼🫰🏼

You mean IGN, owned by Ziff Davis, founded by William Ziff, a Zionist activist and serving president of the Zionist Organization of America "killed" an article showcasing a Palestinian game based on the true story of the Nakba?

AI and algorithms can't touch us :) But it hurts independent media every time these vampires do this. Go support your favourites.

The Pirates of the Mediterranean Sea have kidnapped Aboriginal activist Sam Woripa Watson on open waters, along with 100s of other humanitarians. Free the flotilla members. Free Palestine www.blackwitness.com/p/we-have-a-...

Kill off entry level jobs, then ramp up subscription costs to justify the massive AI investment... It's a speed run of enshittification

University of Queensland directs UQP to cancel & pulp an Aboriginal writer's environmental-focused book for children. Jazz Money has done nothing wrong and doesn't deserve to be treated this way. Her book is important for young readers. Shameful

- Check solar - why we using aircon levels of energy with air on off? - determine its controlled load. (Water heating) - check water meter, it's moving. - Confirm no water is on. That's a leak in the wall. (Confirmed by our regular plumber)
