After 18 months of operation and a cost of $140 million to Australians, the staggeringly incompetent NACC has concluded its top 3 major corruption investigations, and guess what? It has found no corruption. The #NACC is a failure and a national embarrassment. 👇🏽 theklaxon.com.au/nacc-finds-n...

So we already have a well paid & resourced Special Envoy to combat anti-semitism and now a special AFP Task Force … for an incident depicted as “terrorism” before any investigation reports evidence. OTT in my opinion.

All those US movies and tv shows we’ve watched over the years where there’s always a happy ending, good triumphs over evil, justice always prevails. All of it is US propaganda. The US is finished. And there’s nothing we can do about it - but we can make sure it doesn’t happen here #auspol

Now (anti-doxing legislation just passed) that you can go to jail for 7 years for doxing, we nominate the Sky News team and The Australian to wear the striped jarmies for doxing the Qantas flight attendant who wore a lapel pin youtu.be/9gQO0JBrv34?...

Plibersek has been served up a diet of shit sandwiches all term, and Albanese decided to give her a side dish of roasted shit just to make sure she understood what her role is.

One of the great natural-advantages the major English-speaking countries ended up with in the global economy was in relation to higher education - and we all seem to be systemically dynamiting the systems.

This one is hilarious: the US ceded global climate leadership to China long ago... China literally has an 70-80% global market share in most green industries and installs more renewable energy each year than the rest of the world combined. The level of delusion is crazy...

The joke used to be that Twitter was always a cesspit, but that it was our cesspit. Now it is Elon Musk's cesspit and it is time for us to rebuild our communities elsewhere. A farewell to the platform once known as Twitter. www.tempestsandterawatts.com/p/a-farewell...

In response to protests over the Israeli genocide in Gaza, university administrators at Cornell University have weaponized the idea of antisemitism to limit freedom of speech and academic freedom.

Also check out @davidosmond.bsky.social's long-running simulation testing a similar theory, based on Australia's wind and sunlight availability. The fundamental insistence that this is impossible is just verifiably and blatantly wrong bsky.app/profile/davi... (it is hard tho, obviously)
