Seems weird that in the past week The Australian successfully got Grace Tame, a former Australian of the Year, dropped from her Nike ambassadorship and the rest of the media said… nothing? How is this not a story? Too hard for The Guardian/SMH/etc to grapple with the McCarthyism going on?

People who say things like "we achieved racial equality through MLK doing peaceful protests" tend to ignore three major facts: 1. We never achieved racial equality. 2. There were literally hundreds of violent race riots in the 60s. 3. They killed MLK. They fucking shot that dude anyway. Come on.

So I got real mad and went to town in somebody else's comments last night (not at them) but I think it's a topic that deserves more attention so here we go: Why I talk so much shit about cops in general but LA-area cops in particular and openly cast doubt on their claims every chance I get

It's so wild seeing the cop spot the reporter doing her job, pause to consider it, then raise his gun and shoot her from behind. Totally premeditated and targeted. And ppl wonder why we don't wanna travel to this lawless shithole anymore!

When Anthony Albanese appointed Peter Khalil as special envoy for social cohesion, the PM said Khalil would "report directly to him". A FOI request to the PM's office uncovered zero reports (and just an email and a calendar entry) from the now-eliminated role. www.crikey.com.au/20...

"How valuable is that gas off the coast of WA? To Woodside’s foreign partners – BP, Shell & Chevron – hugely so. To us, not so much. The foreign companies pay a fraction of their earnings in royalties. They pay as little as possible in company tax & next to nothing in PRRT. @rossgittins.bsky.social
