“Chris (Uhlmann) seems to think that because he is ignorant of how something is done, that must mean it isn't real.” Is he stupid or morally bereft?

Another example of good journalism trumping months and months of goverment so-called expert panels to expose simple problems.

If you’re on academia dot edu, let me suggest that you strongly consider deleting your account.

More people need to talk about how fucking pathetic the National Adaptation Plan is.

A report by the United Nations concludes Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Israel has responded by accusing the authors of being antisemitic and Hamas proxies. Chris Sidoti, one of the authors of the report, gives his view on Israels response

Sound familiar @amyremeikis.bsky.social ?

Not enough people know about Homer City. The single largest fossil fuel plant that's being built *explicitly* to power a data centre. This isn't a future projection, or some hollow marketing. This is physical stuff happening right now. bsky.app/profile/keta...

I’m sure this point has been made elsewhere but not only did they openly lie about how many recommendations were in the robodebt final report, the one they erased was to reform FOI and now they’re heading in the opposite direction. Surprise is not a feature of my reaction.

The first story I did for Crikey back in 2021 was reporting on a leaked neo-nazi manual showing how "media baiting" — aka tricking journalists into writing about them — was a major strategy for them. www.crikey.com.au/20...

it suits middle class white journalists to tell their middle class white subscribers that the aggrieved are a “disaffected” working (“non-college educated”) class when in fact wealthy whites <always> fund these campaigns.

The special envoy role is transparently 100% an Israel war crime protection racket, but still crazy you wouldn't bump out a token two-line statement saying it is also bad when neo-nazis lead marches and violently assault women

My biggest question is why the cops aren’t in full robocop gear like they are when it’s a climate protest?

I would like to place a bet of fifty gazillion dollars that post-politics, Richard Marles will somehow find a job for a weapons company that helps America slaughter millions of brown people for squillions of dollars

It gets worse. The Deloitte report suspected of using AI contains a fake quote and erroneous citations to one of the leading cases on Robodebt. www.afr.com//companies/p...

Ergo: Australia should commit more war crimes for the sake of economic growth #astonishing alright

Watched the ABC news tonight. What an absolute fucking disgrace. Blah blah blah gaza famine. Not a word about what’s causing it or the bigger picture of destruction and death. And deferring to Israel as the authority on why starving children can not be evacuated to other countries. #notmyABC

Waves in Australian

Full marks Gleeson and team for showing Palestine as a country on their “Marty prop” #hardquiz

Spare me. Tell it to the judge in the Hague mate

🚨Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal is so aware of her husband's "donations" they have one literally named after them. That specifically celebrates their shared “values”. The "Roth-Segal" scholarship. …Handed out by the Governor-General. Devastating. theklaxon.com.au/z68j

The New Daily now doing satire

Imagine being a journalist in 2025, where you've spent your entire life witnessing <points around at pretty much everything in the information space> and you fall for an Israeli foreign influence operation. At this point, it's not about being a mark, it's about being a willing participant.

First Matthew Knott's words were quietly scrubbed in his discredited article, now Matthew Knott himself has been quietly scrubbed from #Insiders.

I'm not being too hyperbolic, am I?

Powerful writing. This belongs in front of people who don’t even know they need to read it.

How predictable that the ‘Liberal’ Party, a far right ideological cell to advance Rupert Murdoch’s fascist agenda, should turn the recognition of Palestinian statehood into another front of their manufactured culture wars. Those people are despicable.

Instead of honouring our brave Palestinian journalist colleagues including Al Jazeera’s Anas Al-Sharif killed in Gaza, much of the media repeated - nay led - with the Israeli line that they were “terrorists” despite a complete lack of evidence.   We pull apart this tired narrative

Journalists across the world have no problem selling out one of their own colleagues to do the bidding of a genocidal state. Endless shame on you all. Screen grabs from @newscord.org on insta

12 single mums chaired by an academic could put together an entire system in a day for the cost of lunch

Trying to remember why Fatima Payman was kicked out of the ALP…

Hello Minister @tonyburkemp.bsky.social, Do you not tire of ASECA'S scandal & disgrace❓️ How much longer must Australian taxpayers suffer Jillian Segal❓️ #TaxWaste

Looking forward to achieving real social cohesion in Australia when a vast majority of voters think both the LNP and Labor aren’t going to act in their interest and vote in a minority government

Oh my dear @ABCnews — you did it.. An entire story on @abc730 about the famine inside Gaza — and not one mention of the word ‘Israel’. Not one mention it is due to an Israeli blockade of food supplies — no mention it is an Israeli-forced famine — Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war.

Two FOIs on North West Shelf Gas - two vastly different outcomes. She's bust #auspol @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social #whatsthescam #FOI michaelwest.com.au/arbitrary-fo...

He argued the point saying we needed to know *the facts*, suggesting what we have currently from Gaza is not reliable. Every time someone says this they should be reminded that Palestinian journalists get killed, sometimes deliberately, and Israel won’t allow access to International press.

🚨Antisemitism boss Jillian Segal and her husband are the second biggest funders of far-right group "Advance". The extremist lobby group spreads online racism and xenophobia, including directly targeting Palestinians... theklaxon.com.au/hrgd

I know it's an ableist slur to call someone 'mental'. So we should just call this what it is: fucking stupid

ABC News Radio (Aust) leads with Trump’s military parade and everyone sang happy birthday to him. No mention of the millions marching against him across the US. The is professional incompetence bordering on ideological propaganda

Unlike the ABC, the #SundayShot won't censor Nasser Mashni. Watch @davemilbo.bsky.social's interview with the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network President. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC3D...

People reacting to the She Matters mural in Hosier Lane, Melbourne. The mural contains the names & faces of 128 Australian women killed since Jan 1, 2024 This is the work of Sherele Moody of #FemicideWatch Donate: australianfemicidewatch.org/support/ Shop: australianfemicidewatch.org/shop-2/

This is fact Labor needs to recognise. Don’t fear the Murdoch Press. Don’t appear on SkyNews. Don’t do op eds in The Australian The only people that consume it are older rusted on conservatives Young people don’t touch it It can be ignored

Three years ago I called for an to end the exemption for political parties from our #privacy laws. Since then the ALP/LNP duopoly continued to hoover up your personal data without any safeguards. Minority govt could provide a chance to fix this. 2/2 #auspol

sad that jacinta price thinks australia isn’t a great country.

A Speers masterclass in how NOT to do journalism: - all politics, no policy - shallow horse-race reporting - minor parties & indies don't exist - lame 'both sides' view; fails to call out lies. If he is one of "ABC's finest political minds", no wonder they're screwed. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Yet again “Government launches enquiry” only after good investigative journalism makes it untenable for them not to. @milliganreports.bsky.social www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Just finished James Cook by @peterfitz1.bsky.social. A breathtaking achievement to bring so much history together into a compelling ripping yarn. And sobering to realise how little of the story I knew. 5 stars.

Australia’s PM Albanese and ADF to plan with UK PM Starmer/British defence for ‘peaceful’ Aussie boots on the ground for EU allies to support Ukraine IF Putin agrees to terms of ceasefire. Albo please run this past our representative parliament before any ‘harms way’ deployment.

@australiainstitute.org.au Is there a set of questions that could be posed to an independent candidate in the federal election to elicit responses that reveal their core positions—going beyond generic statements on cost of living, housing, healthcare, and similar issues? #auspol

Hey PM Albanese, if the EU is to fill the Ukraine support void created by Trump and your proposal for Australian peacekeepers becomes a Cabinet decision, please formally seek approval of our representative parliament. All Aussies have a stake in this. @warpowersreform.bsky.social
