“It's a special thing to be a human, and it's a special thing to be on planet Earth." (Artemis 11). We need to take that to heart and understand it for all its intricate nuances, and begin treating this earth with the reverence it deserves.

Go Dockers. What a game last night. All over the news this morning like Eastern States have just discovered them.

“This crisis has exposed one of Australia's key vulnerabilities.” (ABCNews) AGAIN! The solution seems obvious to me, renewables, but the govt ( and opposition) see it as an opportunity to continue down the same path, and lead Australia to the same results as UK, USA.

Yep. 👌

I don’t expect Albanese to comment on “everything” Trump says. But… we can all see what’s happening and ministers constantly repeating the party line is very disconcerting and quite frankly infantilising Australians.

Trump says, Trump says, Trump says… absolutely nothing. It’s about time Australian msm is a bit more expatiate about their coverage.

Summing up an economist on ABC this afternoon, he said the govt was giving people more money and the RBA wouldn’t be happy and would have to put interest rates up. Is that how it works. We just have to get less money(wages) have more unemployed to keep the RBA happy and lower interest rates.

“Hastie says Iran war a 'huge miscalculation' by Donald Trump”. No shit Sherlock.

No coverage, or very little, ( that I have seen) about the 5 million tonnes of CO2 that this disastrous and pointless war has spewed into the atmosphere. Every time we see pics on TV,media should be giving us the data on this.

I don’t watch very much msm TV news. But when I do there seems to be a lot of Opposition people just bagging the govt. Am I imagining this. Albanese was on 7.30 tonight at a press conference somewhere, then Dan Tehan came on for at least ten minutes telling us how bad a job govt doing.

I want Chris Bowen etc to “ go into details” . On ABC this morning he said he was in contact with Asian counterparts, about the war and its consequences, but said he wouldn’t go into details. Why not?

ABC News online reports the story of the Iranian soccer players with the headline”Coalition welcomes news…”What? The next headline says “…footballers offered asylum after Donald Trump calls PM. Then doesn’t explain either of this further. This is such unimpressive journalism.

Watch Foreign Correspondent tonight on ABC 8pm.

Our Australian mainstream media is just crap. Most of us know that but there is still a huge group of people that get their news from TV news and newspapers. Even online the Guardian and ABC outlet’s are full of Trump and the disintegration of the opposition.

So much irrelevant American news in msm and the Guardian for that matter. Shottings, home invasions, poverty in USA. We have our own issues to contend with that are not being examined. Also, we definitely DO NOTneed to know, and examine, every ignorant word that man says.

“Millions of young people could get a pay boost due to a wages case disputing "junior" rates. Business warns it could cause a collapse in employment.”(ABC) Of course business would threatern the collapse in employment. They dont want to constrict their shareholder payments or their CEO bonus.

I’d like to know what Albanese is doing in Jakarta? He’s not very transparent with the voters. He needs to change this lack of transparency if he wants to get reelected.

“Greens, Nationals and independents are voting for an inquiry into gambling advertising in the Senate”( Guardian) Isn’t that what Peta Murphy did, an inquiry? And the govt pretty much ignored it. Why do they need to do another one?

Good comment here under a Guardian article re ON growth.. "But the signs are all there. Growing inequality. Growing wealth gap. Increasing cost of living. Less access to well-paying jobs. A weak government that serves increasingly the corporate class over its people" #auspol

What is the govt actually doing? News this morning is a lot of analysis, opinions, advice from experts, a saturation of American news. The Coalition. What is the govt doing, thinking, how are they operating. What is their thoughts about Carny, The Peace Board, AUKUS. I don’t really know.

So Kushner announces the rebuilding of Gaza, an economic hub with sky scrapers etc., and nobody blinks an eye!

This is a banger of an ad.

This data is a worry. "Australian billionaires increased their wealth by almost $600,000 a day on average." Aleta Moriarty. #auspol #democracy michaelwest.com.au/the-rise-of-...

When I watch msm, including ABC,I see lots of opposition faces and voices. I hear their opinions. It seems there is less coverage of the actual government. I don’t watch much msm so if I’m wrong can you tell me?

I think about this scene from this great Australian documentary all the time…

The UK Ministry of Defence has just signed a new £240 million contract with Palantir. The U.S. military uses Palantir across its military . Coles supermarkets in Perth and across Australia use Palantir's AI platforms for workforce optimisation and cost-cutting.
