Our questions for ABC 730 following the airing of this shoddy story:

Labor's employment minister rep admits that payment suspensions "cause harm", but they're "an important part" of the (unlawful) mutual obligations system, because "At the end of the day we want ppl to get off payments and find a job" gross 'best form of welfare is a job' stuff from the ALP here

When the AFP chief talks about the need to strengthen hate speech laws, why does she mean speech critical of Israel and not this:

As Ceasefire Looms, Gaza’s Children are Still Starving

My AFP neighbour told me pedophiles keep accepting the CSA material he gives them so I asked him how much CSA material he has and he says he just gets more from other pedophiles so I said it sounds like he's just enabling a massive network of pedophiles and his sergeant started crying

Israel has unleashed around 200,000 tons of explosives on Gaza — the destructive force of nearly 13 Hiroshima-sized bombs.

There is no accountability in this system. There is none. We have thousands of pages of evidence to demonstrate the Obligations were never Mutual, and you cannot make them so. bsky.app/profile/anti...

$10m of fraud recovered from the Australian “job provider” system in the last 3 years and not one provider removed from the system. So welfare recipients lose their ability to pay for shelter or food due to other people’s errors, but job providers face no consequences for fraud.

so the devs are going all in defending Jesse Singal and making this platform a safe space for TERFs I know posters generally dislike Mastodon & understand why, but the influx of bksy shitposters this week has really improved the vibe + the Phanpy app also does wonders making it poster friendly

That tells you everything you need to know.

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got - scam machine - psychosis inducing machine - weapons of mass destruction - button you push that makes the planet hotter - markets that intentionally starve people - clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time - medicine you can’t afford

BREAKING: Israeli war planes continue to launch raids on Gaza City as Palestinians celebrate the ceasefire announcement, according to an Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent on the ground. 🔴 LIVE update: aje.io/xqppys

So will the world's journalists be able to enter Gaza now?

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

like fucking clockwork.

Sakher’s account was shut down — the only place where he spoke to the world about his pain and his suffering. That account was his only voice, his way to survive and keep going. Today, Sakher lost his last connection to the world.💔 Complement with comments, don't skip‼️

Almost 9 months ago, our press colleague Anas Al-Sharif removed his press vest following the announcement of a ceasefire. And then we saw what happened next. May we ensure the bombs actually end this time. I wish he, and so many more, were here with us.

Don't tell Palestinians not to have hope or that the ceasefire deal is doomed. They know what Trump is. They know what the Occupation is. They live under Occupation every day. We're not doing them any favors telling them what they already know. Let them have hope. We all need it. So do they.

ko-fi.com/post/Punch-u... I had a tv interview with abc today and it made me think about this

But then one of them is a therapist who runs these free mental health services for Palestinians anywhere in the world. If you are or known of Palestinians in the diaspora who need MH or crisis MH support (as opposed to say, food) please share. freepalestinementalhealthsupport.mystrikingly.com

The fact Wong thinks she can just snark her way out of this is a sign of how normalised the relationships between politicians and lobbyists have become. Like, of course the PM shouldn't be president of a registered lobby group that sells corporate members access to politicians? No shit??

Was reminded this video exists. The title is a bit exaggerated, but it's still layer upon layer of wtf youtu.be/FDvJeMcL62o

$600 million could’ve built 3,000 homes, powered 50k rooftops, or funded aged care pay rises. Instead, it props up a mining giant that dodges tax. Albanese is such a cunt! #auspol

Not one government has told Israel to stop kidnapping their citizens in international waters and let them bring baby formula to starving babies. What a shameful time to be alive

US commentator Van Jones has apologised for making a joke about Palestinian babies killed by Israeli attacks, but he is not alone when it comes to dehumanising comments about Gaza aje.io/33pm5k

Following Israel’s interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla, organizers have vowed that they will continue “to sail until Gaza is free.” They’ve already announced that the next mission will send a thousand ships to Gaza. mondoweiss.net/2025/10/glob...

Was listening to some old behind the bastards last night while all feverish Reminder: when fascists march, we need to march against them. We need to outnumber them. No amount of "I'll stay home and let the law deal with them" works because they capture law enforcement. MARCH COMRADES!

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Gilbert the foster kitty is super tolerant of my bullshit.

Something that Zionists cannot answer is this: if we can not trust the authority of the world’s most respected humanitarian organisations — from Amnesty to Doctors Without Borders — or international law experts, or genocide scholars, then who can we trust?

The Greg Larsen show is fucking hilarious and I'm loving this. Follows up well after that unhinged demi lardner show youtu.be/JfFI6q9enp0

That second sign should be bolted on to the back of EVERY new RAM truck

Labor paid a consultancy firm for a roboreport into the unlawful robodole compliance model & it was left to the media & the public to identify errors arising from inappropriate use of generative AI in the report. If they had shame they'd be embarrassed. #AusPol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

~ ermahgerd ~ Seems v much like the NPC was not truthful about its cancellation of Hedges' scheduled appearance on OCT 20. 'Statement on Cancellation of Chris Hedges’ confirmed appearance at the National Press Club of Australia' www.afopa.com.au/blog/2025/10...

Post forced onto me on reddit: watch out for posties, here's video of a car hitting one Me: until claymores are installed on postie bikes, there's no incentive for these cunts to pay attention Reddit: that's a threat! 7 day automatic ban Fuck these sites!

A big four consultancy firm has used AI in a report that had several errors, and charged the Australian taxpayer with the bill. I am livid.

Reed (CEO of NACC) is vigorously defending Brereton for failing to disclose his outside consulting work at the Senate Legal #estimates. Shoebridge finds it extraordinary & so do I. #auspol

As at 29/8/25 there were 32,354 on income management (IM): - 9,938 on old IM (BasicsCard) and 22,416 on enhanced IM (SmartCard) - 8.1% (2,649) were voluntary, the rest under compulsory measures. - around 82% (26,450) on IM identify as Indigenous data.gov.au/data/dataset...

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Gambling regulation in Aus is a national disgrace. The govt has ignored the Murphy Report & repeatedly blocked my bill to hold gambling giants accountable. If they won’t listen to evidence, experts or the crossbench, they should at least listen to the community. #auspol #politas

I cannot stress how important Rebecca has been for trans gamedevs. I wouldn't be here if not for her and her wife. Help if you can.

She wasn't really "deported," was she? She was in international waters when Israel illegally boarded her ship, detained her, and then bought her into Israel before shipping her to Greece. That sounds like a lot of things but "deported" is not one of them.

On a side note, my online crush reappeared after disappearing for a few months. Happy they're still ok

I love this channel, adjacent to my type of eccentric nerd stuff 😌 youtu.be/3X3-xeuGI5o

Fuck, it's exactly two years of genocide now 😭

No time and place restrictions for Nazi rallies, Jill?

Still boggles my mind that MAGA folks responded to Charlie Kirk's death by sending me three thousand death threats and sending ninety (yes, 90) pages of emails to the state demanding I be disbarred. I'm back down to the one or two death threats a day I got before now, blessedly.

In every meeting with the government, we've stressed that statements that imply Jewish lives matter more than Palestinian lives are likely to inflame tension and spur on radicalisation. Why are 1200 lives more valuable than 60,000 (the official count) or 500,000 (the true count)?
