The new Bismarck footage is completely off its head that is 36cm of armour 😬

Are they keeping Herzog’s parliamentary address secret because they know it’ll be controversial? Ofc. Calling for social cohesion while organising something they know will inflame anger and protest is outrageous. And the press gallery’s role in keeping it secret is unforgivable.

Addresses to our parliament by Obama, Xi Jinping, Bush, Hu Jintao were pre-announced, so any “security” excuse for keeping Herzog’s address secret would plainly be rubbish

Why would the press gallery agree to this? Now that the cat’s out of the bag, could someone explain?

they can not arrest us all. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Legal groups push for Australian federal police to arrest retired general travelling with Israeli president

How can DSS say “no current impact on customers” when historical remediation is still required? If people have had money incorrectly gaken from their FTB and it isn’t yet repaid, of course there’s an impact

NEW: Here's the list of the 144 processes Centrelink has flagged as operating unlawfully or erroneously There's so much to go through, including more false debts, failures to record ppl's circumstances & income properly, & the whole-scale fuck-up of Rent Assistance www.aph.gov.au/api/qon/down...

“Lamestream understands that journalists in the Canberra press gallery have been briefed on the visit but asked not to report on it.” Incredible.

In the DOJ's Epstein documents, Lawrence Krauss, facing a complaint of sexual misconduct, noted Australia's plaintiff friendly defamation laws: "We may need to initiate a lawsuit (and against Gizmodo in Australia, where basically anyone can sue and win)"

Current bio still up at the energy department. At Treasury when they told DHS to fuck off re: fake Robodebt costings. Subsequently PM&C. Substantial policy record, some reputation as a non-bullshit individual. I am monitoring the situation.

Being dead would have provided a much simpler basis for cancelling Freeman's disability benefit, requiring no change to the law.

The NSW govt needs to elect a new public. Police say this one is not acceptable. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Question for @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social: when you changed the law of this country to permit police to request welfare payment cancellations on the basis of one article claiming Mr. Freeman received a disability pension, did you seek any information as to whether he was alive or not?

I cannot believe we're reading another article where the Labor caucus are acting like they're hostages. Shut the fuck up and do some politics. Break something. I have zero sympathy for any of you.

Nothing much dog what is UpScrolled with you?

These are some pretty good points Mr. Generational Elections Savant doesn't have an answer to in my humble opinion!

update: instead of turning off mutual obligations during 40-50 degree weather, the Department is gently asking job providers to make "adjustments" to compulsory activities (AKA they don't want to turn them off, because providers would lose summer profits)

The department and minister have refused multiple requests to turn off mutual obligations during this heatwave. People with health issues & disabilities are being put at serious risk and this government does not care

The Government’s invitation for President Herzog to visit must be rescinded - it will cause immense distress to many who have lost relatives in Gaza. This is a time to build social cohesion not blow it out of the water ! 💦

There are no standards at this organisation. There are very literally hundreds of professional Australian journalists who would do a better job. I personally could give you the phone numbers of at least five superior candidates and I'm not even looking.

The ABC needs an exorcist.

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

NEW: Australia’s sovereign wealth fund now owns more than $100 million worth of shares in Palantir, a controversial tech company that’s powering the Trump administration’s anti-immigration efforts.

Tony Abbott urgently needs to get even more involved in all the problems he's caused on his side of politics over the past few years. He needs to get back in there immediately. What the hell is he waiting for?

Sounds really good! The media landscape has suffered from the absence of this kind of bold, pioneering newstainment project for several months now.

after so much talk of AI companies wanting to build data centres in Australia supposedly because of our renewable energy capabilities, they finally said the quiet bit out loud

one nation has literally never won a lower house seat in a federal election and Demos is saying they could win 36 seats

really damning stuff here about the culture that still pervades this Department, post-Robodebt "an apparent attitude held by at least some staff at Services Australia that agencies should not have to implement the law in circumstances where the law conflicts with the agency’s preferred practice"
