What is the point of a commonwealth home support program that has no service provision rurally? What is the point of an assessment that confirms your pre-existing chronic disabilities but provides no support or assistance? Why provide codes for services that don't exist? My Aged Care is an oxymoron.

Reminder that Australian legacy media got it entirely wrong when they reported the Labor national conference as a triumph for Albanese and 'orderly policy processes'. It was a triumph for corporate lobbyists and oligarchs who set Albo's agenda, and want no challenge to the cozy status quo. #auspol

At astonishing speed, our rights are being cancelled, worldwide. In the UK, the prosecution of Rajiv Menon KC is the latest example of blatant authoritarianism. Why? Because this is what billionaires and corporations demand. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Progress" was never about making it easier for the consumer. It was always about "how do we keep making money off the same item even after the consumer has bought it". Evolution of music storage showed it. Wax cylinder to Vinyl, to tape, to CD, to digital, to streaming, it wasn't developed for usπŸ€”

Last night my dinner table was full of family, with English and Cantonese sprinkled together. That's not a problem to be fixed, it’s the best of this country. Pauline Hanson wants you scared of dinner tables like this so you never ask why her billionaire mates get richer while your rent goes up.

Joy, in the healthiest sense, is not the loud promise that everything will be fine. It is not a bright sticker pasted over a cracked window. Joy is a steady, clear-eyed willingness to notice what is good without denying what hurts.

People are going to hate the new AI data centres even more when they realise the Albanese govt won’t tax the gas industry because they don’t want to scare off the foreign investors who need gas to power the data centres.

"AI proponents predict that it will make us all richer, more capable and freer from drudgery thanks to the automation of boring tasks." BULLSHIT! It will make the rich richer and the poor poorer. It is a financial and environmental blight! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

What's got the pope and most Australians worried? This hyped new technology

Most Australians appear to distrust and dislike artificial intelligence despite using technology more than people in other countries.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.
