Displaying Gaza artwork in Nowra is now a "safety risk" that needs security guards? The only people likely to cause "community conflict" it are vocal and violent Israeli supporters. Clearly, they are the greatest threat to our social cohesion. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

It’s one more sleep until my Snowy 2.0 court case, which might ultimately prevent officials entering into confidentiality agreements that prevent taxpayers accessing performance info about publicly funded projects. It’s an open court - transparency die-hards are welcome. #constitution #FOI #auspol

The Govt enters into $100B worth of contracts each year, all with confidentiality terms that prevent citizens from knowing if the contractor is performing well. If I win in the Full Federal Court next week, that’ll all change. #transparency #Snowy #auspol

Great article from Michael Pascoe.

I just watched the David Pocock address at the NPC. How much better Australia would be with more people like him in parliament. Empathy, intelligence, honesty, commitment, transparency, integrity. The polar opposite of my local member - Barnaby fucking Joyce. Sigh! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsd5...

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: ASIO no. 2 is being rushed through parliament this week. This is the bill that allows warrantless questioning by ASIO, without a lawyer, and you can't tell a soul without being sent to prison. Share this widely and make some noise.

"The PM is right that we should turn the temperature down, and that starts with parliament. That means not calling for people to be stoned in the square, or making fun of a female politician's health issues." - Andrew Wilkie on the attack on Helen Haines. #auspol

Words matter. Not only on social media but in the way MSM platforms idiots to spew their discrimination. The media can’t play the sympathetic soul when it comes to the shocking Helen Haines attack & then promote the behaviour of the haters. Some people respond to the prompts & act accordingly.

The erasure.

For all those concerned that One Nation's Facebook bots may have been affected by the Russian data centre hit, rest easy. The majority of Poorleen's bots are run out of Indonesia.

Murdochs hard right News Corp has racked up a decade of paying ZERO tax while blaming the poor, migrants and Indigenous Australians for our economic woes. Don’t fall for the bullshit fed to you by billionaire media moguls. “Truth Lies&Media” is live!⚡️ Promo Match Frame Editing #auspol #NewsCorpse

If humans hacked Medicare and the NSW govt they would be arrested, prosecuted and jailed. If Russia or China hacked Medicare and the NSW govt, just imagine the international incident. OpenAI gets to call it a whoopsie and… keep doing it? Nice for some.

Senator David Shoebridge@davidshoebridge.bsky.social · last mo.

Allowing Open AI to call these “rogue agents” lets them dodge responsibility - they made them, directed them and set them free without caring about the consequences. Our laws need to catch up to hold them accountable before worse happens.

While I applaud the government for stopping to credit card surcharges, since stores can't openly show them now, a local shop has simply increased their prices by 20 cents. The govt should have banned the banks from charging the merchants a fee. Fuck the banks! They are profitable enough.

She's a 94 year old Jewish human rights lawyer. She's been arrested under terrorism legislation for opposing genocide. The least we can do is to listen.

Diesel in town today $2.99 per litre. Time to start looking at an EV in earnest, because that price isn't coming down anytime soon. If anything it will get higher. All thanks to the orange fuckwit in the US.

Think about it. The insane cost of fuel is principally because two narcissistic arseholes are desperate to avoid going to jail. One starts wars and kills innocent children to delay a corruption trial. The other starts wars to distract attention away from his participation in a paedophile ring.

We need to do our part to act on climate change, says the man whose government keeps approving more and more coal mines, expanding and exporting even more gas, and inviting parasitic data centres to bleed dry our grid and water. The hypocrisy is jaw-dropping. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
