“…. the inevitable result of a policy framework designed to put more priority on competition than on the reliable delivery of essential services.” Couldn’t agree more. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Every group in society is entitled to be heard, but the public discussion space is not infinite. When we permit one tiny group -- determined Israel supporters -- to dominate it, for months, we do so at the expense of others much more worthy, to the likely detriment of public policy outcomes.

one purpose here is to make definitions and policies contradictory and unworkable so anything can be contested and reinterpreted, so people who are targeted by grievance campaigns can not sleep at night, so every complaint can be appealed, no file is quite closed, no matter ever really finalised.

The ABC’s independence is now at stake with Segal’s recommendation for a government-appointed censor/monitor with coercive take down/penalty powers. This will institutionalise the “pre-emptive buckle”. Hoping the Royal Commission will reject this unnecessary and draconian constraint on our media.

This doesn’t exist, according to Australia’s antisemitism commissioner. That or the dead, injured and bereaved don’t qualify as human for her. #auspol

To accuse the ABC of anti-Israel bias you would have to be untethered from material reality, drowning in your own victim complex, and compulsively gaslighting. The ABC's pro-genocide bias has been overt and disgusting.

Under the Segal Protocols, the ABC will going forward report each day the number of Palestinians who Israel has not killed, tortured, sexually assaulted, starved, illegally detained, dispossessed or denied basic human rights.

I know Let's ask a question on public morality from a politician who organised a fake water sale for $80M, walked out on his own political party, had an affair with his staffer who got pregnant while he was still married, and who was recently found maggotted in a Canberra gutter Perfect

‘Blink twice if you think Zuckerburg’s an arseh*le’ Here’s what happened when, thanks to Meta’s lawyers, Facebook whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams had to sit in silence at @hayfestival.bsky.social with @superwuster.bsky.social & @carolecadwalla.bsky.social (watch to the end for Tim’s verdict) 🧵⤵️

What’s Albo got to lose standing up to the gambling lobby? The opposition is in a shambles. Poorlean is being found out. The majority of the Australian public would support it. Grow a pair Albo. Do it. #Auspol.

Which makes me extra happy that Egypt beat Australia. 👏🏻 There's no way I can believe the Australian head coach would have done this. Feel free to convince me otherwise. #WorldCup2026🇪🇬🇵🇸

Excellent. And don’t come back. #AusPol

The problem with two party politics is that you end up like NSW where Catholics, Zionists, the gambling industry and the NRL run the state no matter who’s running the government

Emergency doctor endures Gaza tragedy, saves lives, but criticises Israel, get complaints, has specialist training frozen. Andrew Brown interviews Dr Mo #auspol #AHPRA #antisemitism michaelwest.com.au/dr-mo-gaza-d...

I'd argue the Safegaurd Mechanism is failing in exactly the way it was designed to.

“Karl is the establishment, and no ranch-style font on his logo, brand new RM Williams workwear, or farted-out colloquialisms will conceal his soft hands or his shallow heart.”

Compare this straight shooting analysis from Joel Jenkins against the sloppy dance around the issues from Karl Stefanovic and his fascist eugenics fan club of billionaires and their little ant people like coked up, Tommy Robinson. There is no comparison.

Just because I believe the people of Palestine should not be slaughtered doesn’t make me anti-Semitic end of story please go fuck yourself. Have a nice day

For those who couldn’t hear Clare O’Neil after she sat quietly letting Cash speak only for Cash to scream over her entire answer while Barr let it happen - what O’Neil said is the 3 RW parties are all defending the status quo that govt is trying to fix The show is a stitch up🙄 #auspol

Re the ABC being summoned to the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion, it might be worth revisiting this analysis we did a year ago showing ABC bias in favour of Israel throughout the coverage of a 'genocide' it still refuses to name. www.deepcutnews.com/p/exclusive-...

House prices in 2024 - "impossibly unaffordable". House prices today - slipping back to 2024 levels is now apparently a disaster.

Whether it be Farage,trump or Hanson they have all set up self service political machines to harvest the benefits for themselves. Keep going Sarah Martin. They are rotten to the core.

The New York Times covers the increasing mental health impact of youth gambling.

Amanda Vanstone calls out Angus Taylor for buckling to Pauline Hanson’s ‘monoculture’ rubbish, and “not being able to think, & say, ‘No, she’s not onto something, she’s an idiot.”💥 When even your own side can’t handle you, it’s time to resign.

The Ginger Whinger tried to drag Hoges into her desperate monoculture circus and the OG Ocker clapped back big time.

I have an exclusive in today's Observer. Four women who allege they were trafficked by Mohamed Al Fayed are filing complaints with the police watchdog over the Met's handling of their cases. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

FFS Albo. Go after the companies not the kids.

It's wild to me those pushing it don't see the similarities with Uber. It's heavily subsidised by venture capital at the moment and they'll want returns. That will only come from turning the screws on customers who got rid of all their staff because of the cheap and supposedly efficient AI available

“No one in the mainstream media followed up on our story that the Australian government is manufacturing explosives for Thales and the IDF. The National Press Club is sponsored by Thales.” @davemilbo.bsky.social #NPC #SundayShot #auspol

We really do not need to treat this racist shit with any deference of “we talked to academics about what it might mean” type articles. Fricken hell.

Australia reacts to Pauline Hanson's National Press Club apapearence.

Sarah Martin is an incredible journalist and Hanson personally attacking her for very standard questions shows just how down the Trump normalisation we are. And it will come to all journalists who do their job.

🚨The drawn-out investigation into police brutality at the anti-Herzog rally means police who broke important laws will avoid penalties. There is a 6-month statute of limitations on key laws - including failing to report fellow officers for assault or deleting bodycam footage… theklaxon.com.au/2rta

1/7 @amyremeikis.bsky.social ‘s Where It All Went Wrong: The Case Against John Howard is an impressive and at times unsettling piece of political analysis — unsettling because its central argument is so difficult to dismiss. This is not a book about the past. It is a diagnosis of the present. 1/7

Linda Reynolds is astonishingly blind to the fact that it is her own actions that trashed her reputation. Suing and bankrupting a young woman she concedes was raped in her office consigned her forever to infamy as a truly terrible person, something of we're reminded every time she whines to the Oz.

We broke significant national news this week and not a single mainstream media outlet wanted to cover it or follow up. It isn't surprising, but it is illustrative. Put simply, they're all owned and operated by Zionist billionaires. This is why indie media needs to exist.
