I don't disagree at all but we've just watched Israel murder over 200 journalists so I'm hard pressed to believe for a moment that anyone including most journalists in Australia give a flying shit about "freedom of the press" and/or press safety.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

The ABC News report of Israeli commandos seizing the humanitarian aid vessel Madleen in int'l waters, detaining its crew, includes numerous insulting unfactual quotes from Israeli officials. Why include this Israeli propaganda? 🤔 #Madleen #Israel #Palestine #Gaza www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Wonders of UK energy privatisation. Not enough capacity to carry/store electricity. On windy days, govt pays wind farms NOT to produce electricity. £500m this year, £8bn a yr by 2030. Elsewhere companies are paid vast sums for emergency production. Companies get ssubsidies, we get higher bills.

"So opening up a few new gas wells, oil wells or coalfields is no longer a trivial act, or something to celebrate. It is an act of calculated, premediated, mass murder—and nobody who retains a shred of rationality can deny that." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

"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

More than 130 official UK suppliers of vehicle number plates willing to sell cloned versions that could thwart police and avoid congestion charges. Just one recently supplied over 7,000 plates to criminals. Need effective regulation and enforcement, not deregulation.

Nationals Leader David Littleproud says taxing $3m+ super hits farmers’ “cash flow.” But isn’t super for retirement, not hoarding business assets that evades paying the appropriate Tax? With $3 million in super & a 5% return over 20 years, a person could withdraw about $19,799 per month. #auspol

I reckon a lot of Australians would rather we kicked the US out of Pine Gap and closed their military bases here, rather than pay them MORE protection money. We've already spent nearly half a $Trillion on #AUKUS. That's money not going to services for our citizens. #auspol
