Former bitcoin now AI company Firmus, who are in the process of building a data centre in Launceston, #Tasmania looking to debut on the ASX (despite one co-CEO having a conviction for insider trading), also have real estate aspirations (raising more ???). #politas www.afr.com/markets/equi...

Simples. #Auspol.

#AUSPOL THIS IS HOW YOU DO INDEPENDENCE: Energy independence Energy sovereignty Economic independence Fiscal Sovereignty No more subservience to oil empire Political sovereignty. Real nationalism, not the racist cooker flag-waving coal billionaire sellout version.

Paul Brereton resignation statement: "Over the last three years, much progress has been made in pursuit of our mission of enhanced integrity in the Commonwealth public sector". Can you give us an example, Paul? Just one, teeny tiny example? Asking for 450,000 Robodebt victims. #auspol

Jillian Segal hired former Scott Morrison adviser on $200,000 contract without public tender process Company founded by Yaron Finkelstein received contract to advise on antisemitism under a limited tender ‘due to an absence of competition’ #AusPol www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ma...

this guy ended the british labour party, transforming it forever into whatever degraded thing it is now @albomp.bsky.social needs to beware that the same will not be said of him in the future #auspol

Terrific job by @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social & @janfran.bsky.social 'We Used to be Journos' pod on Big Media fail, #BHP suing MW #auspol youtu.be/dkGuioENvTU?...

Jillian Segal can’t explain any services provided by co of ScoMo’s fmr sec Yaron Finkelstein who she contracted without tender. Says it’s an “advisory contract” Pocock “$200k for ad-hoc advice?" Segal “I didn’t say that" Then what’s the $200k for? Peak integrity.🙄 #auspol

I’m sure this is @davidshoebridge.bsky.social when he gets home after work. Thank you for all that you do. #Auspol.

I’m really angry that our government is not doing more to protect institutions, knowledge, facts, science, etc, from disinformation. I’m even more angry that they/we let nefarious corporations, political & foreign actors spread disinformation & hate to mentally harm our most vulnerable. #AusPol

APSC’s Melanie McIntyre refuses to advise if Robodebt orchestrators who NACC did find corrupt - Mark Withnell & Serena Wilson - are still employed, says needs to check. Barbara Pocock “public have a right to know”💥 Unbelievable. They know exactly who is on the payroll. #auspol

Attention all men. More of this, please.

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

Quoth RFK Jr.: “Measles is a harmless childhood disease.”🤦🏻‍♂️

African states should develop the energy sources they need to power their development. But the US has decided to sit this one out, and under Trump to jump in on the side of fossil fuels, whereas China is reaping the benefits of decarbonization. Self-own.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Sundance’s filmmakers spoke to the urgency of the political moment. Their movies, mostly, did not. But there was one powerful exception.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

A precursor to slavery?
