Social equity, designing with empathy, blue heelers, clouds, winter sunsets
This is a Minister who is purposeful delaying family reunion visas, denying refugees protection and scapegoating migrants for issues his Government created. It is not surprise Labor is in a race to the bottom on immigration, but it is toxic politics. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...
Labor was poised to reveal massive migration cuts, then suddenly delayed
The ABC understands the cuts to migration numbers are contentious within Labor, but no reason for the delay is given.

Jess Wilson repeatedly dodges questions on whether One Nation Vic leader Warren Pickering’s status as a conspiracy theorist is ‘alarming’, until finally admitting she finds it “very normal” 🙄 What’s ‘alarming’ is the prospect of a Wilson-Pickering government running Victoria.
Yet, when an industrial-scale invasion laid waste to Gaza, reducing neighborhoods to ash and children to statistics, the Arab world’s response to this ultimate crucible was a deafening unforgivable silence.
Happy Birthday to Barack Obama, aka Barak Bombama Many people love it that he bombed so many countries and people.
After failing to prove his claim that the Palestine Action Group was “celebrating” Oct 7, David Ossip is asked if he can admit his evidence is wrong here too. Cornered but too shameless to admit it, takes it on notice & says he ‘wasn’t expecting the question’ Sneaky liar. 🙄
Caught giving false evidence, David Ossip tries dodging questions as Commr Bell demands he answer on his claim the Oct9 Opera House protest was held “before” Israel's military response. Toomey SC reveals Gaza was being hit by IDF airstrikes on Oct7.🙄 Another exposed witness.💥
Something that’s been lost in the NAPLAN reporting today: the equity gap in our school system is growing. First Nations kids, kids living in poverty, and those in regional, rural and remote communities are falling further behind. Most of them attend an underfunded public school.

As I wrote a few weeks ago, Australia's federal data centre guidelines **DO NOT** limit the use of fossil fuels. You can build a single 1 watt solar panel plus 2 gigawatts of gas and be in compliance. Nicely laid out here: www.minister.industry.gov.au/king/media/i...
![STEWART BRASH: There’s set to be 12 data centres planned for the Northern Territory,
some are more advanced than others. SunCable are talking about one, in the Barkly
Murranji Station, also in the Northern Barkly, one hyperscaled, one in the Darwin rural area
as well.
Now the Chief Minister, Lia Finocchiaro, wants a carve-out for the NT when it comes to
power and water, 'cause the Prime Minister's made it clear he wants unified guidelines
relating to the development of data centres across the country. The Chief Minister
wants – well, we're different, we have access to power, we have access to say gas, easy
gas, and also to water. What's the Federal Government's perspective on the call for that
carve-out by Lia Finocchiaro?
MINISTER MADELEINE KING: It is important to have uniform rules and to have a
framework around data centres, which is a new industry. And if we think about the gas
reservation. If only we had done this reserve type work 15 years ago before the exports
started, it wouldn't be as complicated to implement now.
And that's the same for data centres, we need to have some ground rules, because people,
you know, they read a lot in the media about how much water, we're not quite sure how
much water, some demand more than others, the power they require is enormous.
Nonetheless they're inevitable, and they're going to be important for our future, and I think
it was – well, I know it was the Pope in his encyclical wrote, “It is the building site of our
time,” or “the construction site of our time.”
STEWART BRASH: Well it’s the Industrial Revolution --
MINISTER MADELEINE KING: And we want to be part of it.

Mohave County Indivisible@mohaveindv.bsky.social · 2d agoBREAKING: The newly elected Prime Minister of Hungary announced that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary.
not just buried in Australia, but buried in every foreign jurisdiction that is taking the same ugly shortcuts to avoid real regulation of tech. Hello Norway :)
Ben Schwarz@benschwarz.bsky.social · 3d agoAustralia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...
Still there are Liberals and Democrats defending Israel by saying it’s a Netanyahu problem. No. It’s an Israel problem and a YOU problem.
Maybe the world will take notice of the atrocities in the West Bank if we talk about the Israeli settlers, systematically encouraged by their govt to raise child soldiers #childabuse @unicef.org @unicefusa.org @unicefmedia.bsky.social

David Pocock left stunned as Luke Bateman who has recovered from a serious gambling addiction also reveals he was being offered drugs, Pocock “The actual leaders of these companies knew what was happening?” Bateman “Not only did they know, they were participating in it.”💥
Tim Costello shocks the Senate after revealing a young man in prison who had his life turned upside down from gambling was being offered drugs & escorts by TAB & SportsBet as inducements “He was given escorts” & “asked, ‘what drugs you like?’” And we’re still just debating ads?
They say they want the truth for this Royal Commission then they block a key witness, who is critical of ASIO, from returning to the country to give evidence. Always best to watch what they do, not what they say.
On these big issues, the vast majority – from left to right – are in agreement. Yet, as we show, the prime minister has repeatedly stood with powerful interests.
On almost every issue listed, the PM has gone against public opinion. More than three-in-five Australians support a gas tax, 83% say the supermarkets deserve some blame for the cost-of-living crisis, three-in-four Australians want a ban on gambling ads and 79% hold a negative view of Israel.
Anthony Albanese – the great Australian sellout. From salmon to supermarkets, gas to gambling – we detected a pattern. Albanese consistently backs powerful lobbyists. www.deepcutnews.com/p/albaneses-...

There is zero reason for the Govt not to ban pervert glasses except for cases where they have been prescribed for medical reasons (ie assistance for those with vision impairment).
