Really? This is what we're going with for "person dealing with a disgruntled client"?

The High Court's refusal to allow punitive conditions to be imposed on the NZYQ cohort shows that, for now at least, we remain a lucky country where punishment remains the domain of the courts, not the government. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/24/l...

In an extremely crowded field, this Queensland law is the worst human rights violation yet perpetrated by an Australian government in pursuit of Israel's state interests.

A statement on behalf of the Australian Cartoonists Association regarding James Hillier aka Nordacious and the QLD Government:

Factcheck: Yes, Ed Husic is right. Australia exports gas so cheaply that Japanese companies profit from on-selling our gas thepoint.com.au/factchecks/2...

I love that someone thought cutting excise would do anything other than double profits. Are you going to be enforcing a halving of petrol prices across the nation? Really? 🤣🤣🤣 (if you do, colour me shocked and impressed). #auspol

You know, there's a lot going on right now. Much of it is going wrong. It's OK to be tired. Look after yourself. Come back and fight another day. Just leave the places you inhabit a little better each time you can. As an aside, things wouldn't be going so wrong if we all did that.

If you want to make a difference: Write. Your. MP. And copy the Attorney-General. #auspol

A statement regarding recent contact from Queensland Police about my work.

Outrageous that an artist in Australia, who makes a living from his creative output, can be threatened with arrest and imprisonment for using a phrase with - at best - contested meaning. This is normal under authoritarian regimes.

Murdering (yes, that's what it is) press and UN personnel should be de-facto war crimes. Enforcement should be automatic and mandatory. The western ideosphere's failure to adhere to the word and spirit of the UN Charter is an abrogation of our values. Our govt. is complicit. #auspol

Having experimented with agentic development this week, I remain skeptical. Using it is not fun - it's quite boring. It is broadly not productive. It, as always, has niche uses. Whether they measurably improve productivity is not something I can say. It does *things*, but *things* are 🤷

What the fuck, @albomp.bsky.social @tonyburkemp.bsky.social ?

The contempt with which the United States treats Int'l law is obscene, and the tacit, pathetic support by my government is equally offensive. But what did I expect; the political duopoly today voted against lifting people out of poverty during a cost of living and homelessness crisis. #auspol

Despite unprecedented physical, political and legal attacks, UNRWA continues to deliver essential services to millions of #Palestine Refugees every day. Now, the risks to Palestinians’ wellbeing, rights and the stability of the region are immense. Full op-ed: www.unrwa.org/newsroom/not...

There are one in six children living in poverty. The Coles and Woolies of politics just voted to make it even worse. This is inexcusable in a nation as wealthy as Australia, where the government has no problem finding hundreds of billions for fantasy submarines. #inequality #auspol

How it’s going. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Impunity.

This is (I think) a Greater Blue-Eared Starling (Lamprotornis chalybaeus) & the amazing chrome job is their super-power. They've evolved to manipulate light in VERY specific ways, attracting mates, intimidating rivals. Let's look at the nanostructures that bring this bling into being.

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Fuck it. Bring on ON. Maybe the libs can dive left and come back as an actual liberal party 😂 But it should be trivial for the savvy ALP to deal with racists. Right? Right? #auspol

When Ed Husic was dumped from Labor’s frontbench, he did not go quietly. That anger has faded, but his outspokenness on issues like Gaza and Islamophobia hasn’t, writes Rachel Withers. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/25/e...

Just had a colleague espouse the importance of "having friends in the world stage." I reminded him first of the practical realities of the US-Israeli war on Iran (they're bad). Then I reminded him you don't join in if your friend is about to punch a bear, your haul him out of there. #auspol

The correct response for any prosecutor is, "I am not enforcing that law, I think it's unlawful." It is entirely within QPS' discretion to do this. It is also within the DPP's power to intervene and do the same. Hopefully the respondents have good legal counsel who can state the case. #auspol

Watching Ukrainian drone operators using $500 commercial drones with zip-tied seized munitions, destroy a column of multimillion-dollar armour. And wondering if we still have money down on gold-plated nuclear subs for delivery in 30 years. #Auspol

Limit speech. Limit protest. Limit access to information. Don't tax predominantly foreign multinationals with tens of billions in profits from damaging our environment and economy. Support illegal, ethnic wars. Who voted for these guys? #auspol

If the Albanese Government had introduced a 25% gas export tax when it was first elected, it would have raised more than $63 billion! Free childcare or free uni shouldn't be a pipe dream. If big gas paid its fair share, Australians would be better off. @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

When you spend 8 hours trying to work out why something isn't working only to realise the non-test implementation uses an aggregating interface, not the one you're actually testing for. /facepalm *Rips it back to direct implementation* "Convenience" 🤣

As a reminder, 23 years ago Israel proved already that they will murder anyone opposing their ability to freely murder, rape, and maim Palestinians. They literally crushed Rachel Corrie (USA) with a bulldozer, and then IDF members made pancakes to mock her death. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_...

Subnautica devs v. Krafton ruling is ABSOLUTELY stunning. Start at the top of page 32 and read until the end of that section on page 37. Krafton CEO was warned by their legal personnel to not follow ChatGPT into what is likely Some Of The Dumbest Legal Shit Ever, CEO believed the plagiarism bot.

"How dare you help those who cannot afford support! Give ME the money!"

Rat poisons have killed native wildlife for decades. Finally, "the regulator announced it would recommend they be pulled from shelves, restricted to use by licensed professionals." As @roycerk2.bsky.social remind us, it was Barnaby Joyce who defanged the regulator. thepoint.com.au/news/260316-...

Always like myself a principled senator, personally. Good on him.

This would also be an excellent time for the government to spruik non hybrid EV adoption. #auspol

If the RBA raises interest rates in the midst of this, the government should intervene legislatively and temporarily prevent it. It should probably also triple the ACCC's capacity, so it can police supermarkets properly, given what happened last time fuel got expensive... #auspol

Shame on you @albomp.bsky.social. #auspol

ffs @albomp.bsky.social #auspol

Nothing is surprising about the US starting another war. Nothing is more dangerous to Earth and mankind at large than the United States and its complete and utter failure to curtail the worst excesses of humanity. The US oligarchy and its influence on global politics must end.

Albanese flaccidly supports a war he wasn’t consulted on, had no congressional approval, has no clear strategic objective and makes the world a less safe place. So, so lame.

Don't miss the news that an Israeli missile destroyed an Iranian girls' primary school, murdering at least 25 girls between 7 and 12 years old. At this point it might just be muscle memory for the Israeli military. www.middleeasteye.net/news/least-2...

This is stupid, and it will go down in history as stupid. And we had better stay the fuck out of it, physically and rhetorically, or we too shall go down as stupid. Again. For once I would like to read about something positive being done for the future and not destruction and hatred. #auspol

"Albanese might tell himself that in disappointing everyone, he’s striking some political happy medium ...in fact he’s failing the goal that is at the heart of his leadership: to demonstrate to voters that government can work for them, not for vested interests." #auspol
