Ed Husic grills ANZ CEO Nuno Matos & asks how it’s fair that ANZ ripped off 65K customers & the worst punishment received by Senior Execs was not getting a bonus, while at same time the bank is sacking 3500 workers who didn’t do a thing wrong. Matos says he’s not proud about it. #Estimates

I haven’t seen this get covered in English yet so let me translate. Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were X is a Nazi site. Get off the Nazi site.

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

It's so repugnant the way our self-declared top 8 universities have thrown in their lot on the regressive, environmentally & socially detrimental EPBC laws with groups like Aust Energy Producers (APPEA), Minerals Council of Aust, & s'thing called Aust Convenience & Petroleum Marketers Association🤮

“Some nonprofit organisations are also observing a dramatic shift downwards in support. Gaza Soup Kitchen has raised more than $5.8m on GoFundMe since February 2024, serving 10,000 meals daily to people living in Gaza. From September to October, it saw donations drop by 51%.”

You listening, @albomp.bsky.social?

AUSTRALIAN VALUES STATEMENT • underfunding science; ignoring science; • leaders who await instructions from their sponsors; • punishing the most vulnerable most harshly; • overlooking corruption among the powerful; • immigrants who are prepared to do the dirty jobs for less pay; #Auspol

AU. The Liberal Party's numbers must be on life support. Men are putting women - women!!!! - in charge of executive positions.

Officer Safety. An 87 year old aged care patient 'wielding' an ornament could clearly have caused a number of monstrous injuries to the ego of the particular officer in question. Why won't the elderly and fragile in aged care homes just comply?

The ALP truly hates progressives and loves nothing more than sucking up to conservatives in the hope they'll be let into the club.

100's of jobs cut at CSIRO when it has never been more important for govts to invest in science & research. Why can Labor find $$ for AUKUS but not our nation’s premier science, industry & research org? The Greens implore the Albanese government to commit funding & prevent cuts.

$350 billion for Aukus submarines but we can’t afford 350 research jobs

Better approve some more gas fields and coal mines.
