With all this talk about data centres it seems to me that nature has perfected the greatest data storage system without human assistance or interference or needing vast amounts of energy, water, space & we only need to study it more & replicate the system. It's call DNA. Get working scientists!

Calm surf with gentle waves, bright and sunny day, but chill breeze. 😀

You don't often see this many organisations together! A LOT of people are very unhappy.

Great service and great independent selections, subscribe, subscribe ,subscribe. I'm a slow reader these days, but I choose carefully and follow my personal lines of interest (which are expanding, by the way). Thanks Denise!

Get active people!

Dave's latest exposé in The Shot Shocking theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Giving minimum wage earners (about 100,000 people) a 6% wage increase to match inflation, and the 3m or so workers who have awards tied to it a 4.75% is not going to cause a wage price spiral. It means they can buy what they are already buying. Like bread AND milk and maybe some biscuits and fuel

Listen to the people @albomp.bsky.social while you still have a chance to do the most significant thing to leave as a legacy!

If Peter Garrett can get us out of this AUKUS mess then I will dance like nobody’s watching. Peter Garrett style. #AusPol

#OneNation are rich people pretending to be your mate, #Australia. They don't ACTUALLY want to tax gas, that's why the gas lobby was so chuffed with her policy. Free money for rich people, again. Brought to you by Pauline. #auspol

Peter Garrett & former Labor ministers launch community inquiry into AUKUS. Supported by trade unions and non-profit organisations. #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

AUKUS is the biggest defence project in Australian history and yet it still hasn't been properly scrutinised. Good on the Australian Peace and Security Forum for establishing the AUKUS Public Inquiry. Submissions can be made here aukuspublicinquiry.netlify.app #auspol #politas

This morning our co-CEO Leanne Minshull helped launch a public inquiry into AUKUS! Australians deserve transparency and should not be asked to simply accept a project of this magnitude without scrutiny. @leanneminshull.bsky.social #auspol

All the grifters and crooks are on notice.

💯% agree Professor! People had investment properties long before Howard devised negative gearing & discounted CGT, Howard just made them Gilt-edged investment vehicles driving up prices. In 1972 $19,000 would buy you a house on annual income of $3000. The comparative ratio is now staggering.

Who’s a good boy? You are. 🥰🐕

Maybe Japan cd sell Australia some brand new nuclear powered submarines at a reasonable cost. At present we're just propping up incompetent US & UK submarine builders, at enormous cost, in exchange for some secondhand submarines. Dog knows where US will end up under Donald J. Duc/// Trump.

Australians blindsided by news out of the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue that the US will not supply any new or current versions Virginia subs to Australia, but only three secondhand, rusted, end-of-life, ready for scrapping hulks. As the price goes UP! #AUKUS will #FAUKUS #auspol #Incompetence

This opinion is soon going to be recognized universally: Trump is the most notorious criminal in modern history. Not since Hitler has any leader of a country plundered, pillaged, and personally enriched himself so obscenely, while giving ZERO fucks to the rule of law.

This gets more and more horrifying as it continues. We knew it was bad but the whole network of ‘white supremacist’ #Zionist #neoliberal influence that appears to have captured @australianlabor.bsky.social is terrifying. #auspol

Dark and stormy weather at Umina’s Beach today. Enjoy the view but take a heavy rain coat. 😀

Paul Brereton resignation statement: "Over the last three years, much progress has been made in pursuit of our mission of enhanced integrity in the Commonwealth public sector". Can you give us an example, Paul? Just one, teeny tiny example? Asking for 450,000 Robodebt victims. #auspol

Again, a wee bit late in seeing the obvious.🤬 www.facebook.com/share/r/1EyC...

Federal politics live: National Anti-Corruption Commission boss Paul Brereton resigns ABC News Australia. PM Anthony Albanese betrayed Australia and broke his promise on the NACC. Then to hire someone as commissioner who has links to defence without being vetted is unforgiveable.

If you haven’t read this then pls do so, but be warned, there will be expletives uttered.

The point is it ISN'T JUST about politics any longer. It's about morality and I agree there's a line there that's now been crossed that hadn't been before by people I used to respect...

@janecaro.bsky.social talks about this in her excellent essay.

Having thoroughly trashed the reputation of the organisation by refusing to resign when it first became obvious that he should, Brereton has managed to do even more damage. He lasted until just after the Robodebt findings, too. Shocked I say.

I haven’t seen any kookaburras in the yard for a while but one came to visit today

Just consider, if you will: Every President starting with Jimmy Carter has been audited Every Year while in office. It's one of the reforms made after Watergate, to prevent corruption. And Combover Caligula wants to make it impossible to audit him or his family forever

@albomp.bsky.social and so says every voter. Now is the time to fix this right! Investigations open, transparent and hearings public!

Dear Mr Albanese, I hope this fax finds you well. I am writing to express my interest in the position of NACC Commissioner. Am I ready and able to shirtfront corruption? You bet you are. You bet I am....

"Hello, is this the NACC? Scott Morrison here. I saw that Paul Brereton has resigned and and I was wondering when applications.." "click"

Commissioner Brereton has resigned from the NACC the day before he was due to appear at Senate Estimates for the first time ever following a successful Greens motion in the Senate. Incredible timing.

Head of NACC has resigned. His "While I will continue to resist any suggestion of impropriety" T-shirt is provoking questions already answered by his... www.nacc.gov.au/news-and-med...

@albomp.bsky.social "NACC chief resigns " according to the guardian, about bloody time, he should have been fired with his whitewash of Robodebt. Now Albo, rebuild it to do what is should be doing and MAKE investigations and hearings PUBLIC and OPEN. You want to restore trust in government, do it!
