Literally selling our dirt. No joke.

Richard Marles, who has been touting industry and weapons factories has just lost the major contract to the weapons to France so now there is also no industry with Aukus. It's just nuclear waste and a port for America to attack China and we are all targets.

Nice calculations here @fla-medic.bsky.social . Thankyou. I'm not seeing this story anywhere among local media. And, to be honest, 5/day + a backlog, is woeful testing capacity. If they're waiting for a genome sequence before confirimng (rather than an H5 + N1 duplex PCR), that's plain crazy. Sigh.

Everything the Govt does, it does on our coin. Everything the Govt does, it should do for public purpose. So we have a right to know. When it comes to transparency @albomp.bsky.social has proven to be a disappointment and a shameless hypocrite. #auspol

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."

If this page is an indication of how well prepared we are and how seriously we’re taking this issue, I’m _greatly_ concerned. www.dcceew.gov.au/environment/...

We need public housing not falsely labelled "Affordable" weasel term We should have a housing commission that employs local tradesmen and trains apprentice chippies, sparkies, plumbers etc And they build until the market settles Then maintain and replace Remove profit from this level of housing

Sarah Hutt moved into affordable housing two years ago. She was told she would have to pay 30 per cent of her salary as a social media manager. Earlier this year Mission Australia switched her rent to 75 per cent of the market rate raising it by $80 a week. #auspol youtube.com/shorts/Mwdue...

Federal Court Justice O’Sullivan agrees info on selecting a site for #AUKUS nuclear waste is “a matter of significant public interest”. The PM can release this info. @albomp.bsky.social, why not do so instead of fighting for secrecy in Court? #FOI #auspol 👉 www.news.com.au/technology/i...

The government shouldn't force us to fork over our personal information to private companies in order to access social media. We filed an amicus brief urging the courts to block Texas' new law and protect our privacy online.

The average ASX100 CEO was paid 55 times more than the average wage earner last year. They have designed a system to steal the world’s wealth from everyone else and they pay politicians to keep it that way. Time to take back control of our economy, and politics.

Looks like Labor’s whole AI pitch today treats the problem as datacentres taking too long to get approved, but that was never what people were worried about. People hate having no say at all while big tech gets the green light faster and faces less scrutiny than ever.

If only we had scientists warning us decades ago about how bad life on earth would get if we kept on burning fossil fuels? What’s that? The did?! Why didn’t we do anything back then then?! Because greedy psychopathic fossil fuel companies decided to muddy the waters & politicians were too weak.

NSW Planning Minister Scully’s aggressive stance on #4corners on the failings of Govts’ ‘affordable housing’ should fool no one - their policies aim is to shape planning in favour of large developers & existing land owners.

There is an intense focus and persecution by the media on women who supported ISIS and are trying to return to Australia. Australians who joined IDF and committed genocide and other atrocities can walk in from the airport with no questions asked. #auspol

what a shocking loss...

Over 500 Australian dual passport holders went over to serve in the IDF, choosing to actively take part in genocide and crimes against humanity. Why isn't the government investigating them ?
