While the govt freezes support payments & cuts the NDIS, it's still letting multinationals make massive profits off our oil & gas while paying minimal tax & it's subsiding mining companies with $5bn a year in fuel tax credits, disincentivizing them from decarbonising their businesses.

What fresh hell is being invented here? 😡

Had the opportunity and squibbed it. Like Gambling, like the NACC, like lots of things. Pretty poor call

the reality is that decline will come from instituting machines that regularly churn out biased and false information, and believing that government must trust and rely on them

After @news.abc.net.au revelations on this week's 4 Corners about BHP quietly walking away from its climate commitments, it covers itself in further glory with its pursuit of @michaelwest.com.au.web.brid.gy & now seeking a suppression order over its own lawsuit. michaelwest.com.au/bhp-urgent-s...

I'm sick of hearing "it's inevitable", because it's not. It's really not. It is one of the most comprehensively evitable things out there, once the dominoes start falling.

Absolute horror. Sky News confirms Israel ordered all 300 towns in southern Lebanon to suddenly evacuate, sparking a mass exodus. The Zionist military then systematically peppered the heavily populated areas and brave rescue workers with massive drone strikes.

If the AI revolution is run in the interests of corporate elites, there's going to be a colossal backlash.

The Mega Data Centre in the west This first image is Plumpton, the planned area to build (The info of exactly where in Plumpton I haven't been able to obtain so view this as an example) This is the area it covers if placed say next to Hillside residence, the nearest high density residential area

Always in Melbourne’s West hey. The idea that this is a ‘job creator’, per the premier, is so fkn stupid. Imagine the solar farm you could fit on this site. But no, apparently they are too much of an eyesore. This noisy, water guzzling, job sucking ugly af horror show on the other hand. Just fine.

Karen Hao - AI Empires don't just claim all these resources, they also need these resources, and when they are withheld from them, it begins to make their very foundations shaky They need limitless cash, power, water, the exploitation of workers, and limiting of social privileges to rule us all

WOW! 80% of Australia's online gambling is done by mobile phone. Interesting insight on our ABC into the meteoric rise of gambling in Oz. Over $1,500.00 is lost to gambling for every adult in the country, every year. 🤯

Karen Hao - AI is a political project, and the central feature of this project is to take agency away from people to make these entities the monopolies on decision-making power

2/ These conventions, which Australia has signed and ratified, obligate states to act to prevent genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Albanese’s inaction constitutes a profound betrayal of these commitments, and it has devastating real-world consequences.

Bezos, with his infinite money pit, will survive this, of course. I wonder if anyone has done a calculation on the carbon emissions from this massive rocket's construction and explosion. Can we please take the toys away from the boys?

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

In a covert op, UNRWA staff saved millions of historical documents from Gaza & occupied East Jerusalem, preserving legal & historical records dating back to the beginning of Israel's ethnic cleansing and land theft campaign. #Nakba #UNRWA #FreePalestine thecradle.co/articles-id/...

There is no legislation accompanying this change. And despite the headline that this is the biggest shake up in 30 years, Howard didn't launch Centrelink and the basis for the system we have now until 1997. We haven't moved beyond that, with these changes from Labor, despite the somewhat good press

A man on JobSeeker calls into ABC Melbourne to say he hasn't eaten in three days He says all his job provider does is pray for him.

So what's the bottom line? What does the science tell us that we know, without a shadow of a doubt, about the future? Not which scenario is "right" -- because none of them are. They are just pictures of possible futures demonstrating the outcome of plausible human choices. This is what we KNOW ⬇

Worth noting as the government goes through the process of proposing changes to the NDIS and employment services, the starting point for these changes isn't: "How do we ensure basic dignity and quality of life for every Australian?", but it should be.

Labor turns to Howard to shake-up job placements www.thenewdaily.com.au/work/2026/05...

"The death toll from the #Israeli airstrike that targeted an apartment in a building near the Al-Isra Tower on Omar Al-Mukhtar Street in downtown #Gaza City on the evening of Wednesday, May 27, 2026, has risen to 10, including 4 children, with more than 20 others injured..." qudsnet.com/post/569709/

Young people have every right to be furious as AI is blamed for their evaporating job prospects. They aren’t being replaced by a superior intelligence. It is the exact opposite. The real danger is the undiscerning masses blindly rushing to deploy it. www.savageminds.co/p/artificial...

a three stream system isn't even new! they did this exactly (stream A, B & C) in jobactive until 2022 - and guess what, it didn't work. my kingdom for a journalist who understands employment services policy

Unemployed Australians are Australians. There’s no reason for their government to bully them, other than perpetuating the bludger myth. Unemployment is a feature of our economic system, essential, not an accidental by-product. Our government should acknowledge this and offer dignity and respect.

The 'job providers, have NEVER provided jobs They have however been providing Sarina Russo and her ilk massive amounts of coke money and lovely cars,houses, airbnbs and Greek Island holidays. Only took 3 fucking years. #DontGetmeStarted #auspol #Cunts www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Sorry. My @smh cartoon.

Remember folks...

"unprecedented operational constraints" is a polite way of saying: Israel is maintaining an illegal blockade in order to continue its #GazaGenocide.

"Participants say the proposed changes to capital gains tax could force ordinary Australians to make impossible sacrifices, such as delaying kitchen renovations on their second holiday home, or in some cases downgrading from imported marble to locally sourced stone." #auspol

Sarina Russo. Grrrrrr.

"AI servers are so power hungry that utilities are keeping coal-fired power plants that were slated for closure running ... [A]mid stagnant wages and increasing costs for food, housing, utilities, and consumer goods, AI's demand for power is also raising electric rates for customers nationwide."

The Federal Courts handed every court transcript to outsourced provider VIQ Solutions. VIQ then publicly boasted their AI was trained in partnership with Australian courts, without a single litigant ever being told or asked for their consent on often intensely private material.
