Sarah Hanson-Young left gobsmacked as ACMA admits they provide no policy advice on gambling ads, or how to tackle the harm of inducements, bcoz it’s a “matter of policy - for govt” SHY “But policy is based on advice...”💥 Not just toothless, also muzzled.

The "renewables vs agriculture" argument is of course, completely ass backwards. See for instance here. Solar panels help crop growth energiesmedia.com/solar-panels...
American farmers slid solar panels over 62,000 acres of farmland, and the biggest payoff had almost nothing to do with electricity
Long rows of solar panels march across the desert, and underneath them, where the ground should be baked and bare, there are rows of green.

It is noticeable that the Southern and Eastern regions where Sky News, now rebranded as News.com, replaced local media and is the main broadcast media voted No. Is anyone researching the #political impact of foreign owned media consolidation?. #Murdoched @senatorwong.bsky.social

Someone should survey voters to find out how many regret their No vote Hope they now understand they were manipulated by foreign interests & Australia got a Zionist voice to Parliament but not a First Nations one.

The map of communities that voted Yes in the Voice referendum is important. One of the many vile lies promoted by the "No" campaign was that Indigenous people were against the Voice. #Auspol

"Labor’s historic purpose was not to make an unequal system slightly more affordable. It was to democratise economic life. Cost-of-living relief can ease the symptoms. Tax cuts can purchase temporary approval. Neither can rebuild social democracy." #auspol pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/08...
Labor should talk about the cost of capitalism
Labor’s promise to ease living costs and cut taxes may offer relief, but it avoids the deeper question of who owns, controls and profits from the systems making life insecure.

Beware the Free Speech Unions
Atlas Network interlinked, these bodies aim to protect the right to be awful about or to targeted groups. New Zealand's version also appears to work as a "troll farm" for the government.
