Four weeks after the ABC revealed sensitive court files were being accessed offshore in a potential risk to national security, the company responsible for the breach has entered into voluntary administration.

Australia fucking around: YES MR PRESIDENT THIS WAR IS GOOD AND CORRECT! Australia finding out: Dear Mr Khamenei, please let our ships go we are good and peaceful boys.

"At least once a week, every week, 1800 RESPECT – run by Telstra Health – is being subpoenaed, and not only is the $147 million government-funded service handing over confidential client notes, but 1800 RESPECT is also handing over complete audio recordings of victim counselling sessions"

NACC concludes that Kathryn Campbell didn't lie because she had no motive to They say she had no motive because she was already successful, & wouldn't risk lying for further career advancement. I love it when people with no understanding of greed or hubris run corruption investigations

Cars were better when you could do things like gently knock the starter motor with a tap hammer to get the brushes to connect.

Jacked action hero with goon in headlock, in raspy yet firm voice:

It's stunning how ignorant the DOGE bros were who were sent into agencies. Justin Fox cannot even articulate in his own words what his "present understanding of DEI" is: he can't even formulate a coherent sentence about it. I wouldn't hire him for basic tech support. #NEH youtu.be/jomaMvItnew?...

my new “everyone should be drafted to do one year of retail” is that C-suite people should be obsessed with their product in the same way their wage workers are expected to pretend they are. McDonald’s should be run by a maniac who eats there every day.

Lying to the Commonwealth Ombudsman, activists and the media in relation to what is ultimately hundreds of thousands of unlawful benefit sanctions very clearly rises to the level of serious misconduct, and the Australian Public Service Commission should immediately investigate those responsible.

Despite the government firing the Secretary responsible for DEWR misleading the Ombudsman, the Department has decided to continue to lie to the public, despite separately telling @jeremypoxon.bsky.social there were no documents on any app because it's actually more of a Qlik dashboard.

Ahh Canberra, where an unlicensed diplomat can wreck your car with no consequences (Not my car, I'm fine, I'm very attentive and avoided being involved)

Here is the spoken cartoon version of my tribute to Jon Kudelka www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cv9...

my favorite stolen art restored story is when an Orthodox bishop was watching a documentary on Boy George and spotted an interesting icon on his back wall. He investigated and found the icon had been stolen by Turkish troops and BG had unknowingly bought it in 1985. BG immediately returned it.

Just heard 7am podcast describe Angus Taylor as middle class. His school tuition (excluding boarding and all other expenses) literally costs more than my house

the road to hell is paved with charities saying stuff like: "We're trying to remove the stigma of Work for the Dole"

QUT will take over famous literary magazine Meanjin, after the journal was closed by Melbourne Uni Publishing last year. This is a win for all who campaigned to save the masthead, but hardly makes up for the damage done last year www.smh.com.au/culture/book...

"interaction with police" what are we doing here?

Sadly amusing that it took Haaretz to pick up on this line by Albanese

Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.

Jon Kudelka was not just the creator of the best tea towel in Australian history, and a great cartoonist and artists, but he was a superb friend, incredible husband and dad. Goddamn I will miss him

The world is so much poorer for not having Jon Kudelka in it

The ABC on the JCA - "the left-wing Jewish Council of Australia" Never heard them describe the AJA or ECAJ as "the right-wing", which they 100% are. The AJA was literally created by LNP and further right politicians. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

BLOODY HELL @copower.bsky.social

Weekends are the busiest shopping days, but many bus routes run half as often, and some don't run at all. More buses = more options = more people out of the traffic.

Writer's parents own 200 units in the city and have racked up many, many violations.

And so to a bookseller’s in the Strand, and there bought Hudibras again, it being certainly some ill humour to be so against that which all the world cries up to be the example of wit; for which I am resolved once again to read him, and see whether I can find it or no.

So, after a week of using (and sometimes avoiding) the Metro Tunnel to commute to work, this is one final vent on the topic (until footy season proper), in order to avoid complaining about the Metro Tunnel and how it's stuffed my daily commute becoming my entire personality.

Crazy to learn that, after years of Americans engaging in grindset, the form already peaked in 2017 with "counterfeit 5-hour energy."

This submission by David Brophy is hilarious and demonstrates how poorly drafted the hate speech bill is

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

For my honour I am forced to make my wife presently a new Moyre gown to be seen by Mrs. Clerke, which troubles me to part with so much money, but, however, it sets my wife and I to friends again, though I and she never were so heartily angry in our lives as today almost.
