www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... What a ridiculous article. Skirts around the core issue of what the product Liberals are selling. Anti science anti climate change anti diversity incompetence and rorting.

I'm always glad to see @squigglyrick.bsky.social take on the absolute mess that is university governance www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/educati...

The idea that someone’s age can be accurately assessed by their face is so flawed it’s laughable. Especially during adolescence where people go through puberty at different times and rates. Another silly AI fail like emotion detectors and gait identification.

Don't think @albomp.bsky.social government prepared for the level of ridicule and pushback once this starts. There will be many egs of silly outcomes and easy workarounds. Gov-commissioned report raises concerns over age-verification software www.itnews.com.au/news/gov-com...

This is due to decades of poor policy and corporatisation but accelerated by 9 years of hostile action from LNP. Albanese criticized LNP but done nothing. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... safe spaces was always about opening up participation. It was never meant to suggest that people had the right to feel comfortable, or to avoid hearing views with which they disagree. … I want to advocate a new concept. We should build and defend brave spaces.

Looking forward to Damien Carrick (ABC RN) chair the upcoming session 'Current governance settings and challenges for ADM/AI governance post-Robodebt', with @kimweatherall.bsky.social, Terry Carney AO, Kate Allingham (EJA) & Alexandra Sinclair at @admscentre.org.au Symposium. Recording post-event.

Prediction. The Albanese government will be notable for not having contributed any major social policy reforms during its life unlike all other ALP governments.

So incredibly disappointed in both Anthony Albanese & Penny Wong. 😢 #auspol #USA #Iran #GazaGenocide

Following Oz Unis adopting a definition of antisemitism, at UQ's Academic Board I asked the VC: "1. Were the Australian Race Commissioner, scholars of race and racism, and the Jewish Council of Australia consulted in developing the definition? If not, why not?...

Important insight from @propublica.org - when risk models are treated as truth people mistake probability for fact. The failure to incorporate dynamic aspects is a common problem in these tools @admscentre.org.au

10 people died after welfare payments wrongly cut off due to IT bugs in employment services system, discovered then ignored for 3 years. Ombo investigating. Govt won't turn off 'penalty zone' because private job agencies would lose profit briefings reveal. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

PM has a knack of proving then dashing hope putting companies before consumers. At last, a charter of rights for Australian airline passengers – but where’s the compensation for delays?
