Obedience always emboldens the oppressor. They're using the threat of lawsuits to silence their critics, mute damning facts about his cabinet nominees, and pave the road to a state-controlled media. buff.ly/3ZVM0wC

For commentary on Dutton's nuclear announcement, ABC News went to NewsCorp's Clare Armstrong?! Srsly?! This is just insulting to viewers. This is why I rarely watch ABC News anymore. STOP PLATFORMING NEWSCORP! #auspol #energy #nuclear #renewables #JournalismMatters

For commentary on Dutton's nuclear policy, ABC News went to NewsCorp's Clare Armstrong! Srsly! Not a scientist, an energy costs expert or even ABC's Laura Tingle. They went to a staffer from one of Murdoch's tabloid trash propaganda rags. STOP PLATFORMING NEWSCORP! #auspol #JournalismMatters 😠

i feel like there should be a person who's job it is to show up the first day of shooting, sit the director and the cinematographer down in a room and say "whatever you're about to do, it does not need to be that dark."

Total bald faced lie. On the front page. Of the only major newspaper in my state. See the problem here?

There's going to be so much disinformation and BS thrown at us today. Don't fall for it Dutton's nuclear non-plan will set off a chain reaction of outcomes we don't want or need. Our families and communities need and deserve better. Pass it on #auspol

Today's headlines re Australians trapped in Syrian camps:- "Opposition leader Peter Dutton has dampened the hopes of the families of women and children in Syrian detention camps..." "Peter Dutton rejects calls to repatriate...." Can someone remind the media and the Govt who's actually in power?

The big question is how much longer Trump will allow Elon Musk to be the acting president. It’s clear that Trump isn’t making the real decisions. Everyone knows that Elon is the alpha and Trump is the beta in this relationship. That has to be humiliating for Trump.

In Australia, EV sales are up, but Tesla sales are down. A bit of the Musk factor perhaps?

Peter Dutton has hired digital agency 'Topham Guerin', infamous for disinformation and deepfakes, to run the LNP campaign. Here are grabs from Topham Guerin's 'showreel'. Labor’s failure to tackle truth in political advertising risks costing them, and our democracy, everything.

It is not getting a lot of coverage - but there is a world of financial pain coming for WA households if WA Labor agrees to extend the Woodside gas deal. And that's without the huge environmental cost. australiainstitute.org.au/post/north-w...

Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained" Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?

One of the things I still don’t understand is how these tech bros can be pro-technology and anti science.

People who brag about not being politically correct tend also not to be factually, morally, or grammatically correct.

"Once you understand the media, you’ll discover that you really don’t have to have any policies at all" said Dutton; "tell them you’ve got a policy for imaginary nuclear power plants to replace whale-eating wind turbines and you’ve bought yourself another 6 months." theshovel.com.au/2024/11/20/h...

It is true that the sub judice contempt rule needs to be reformed as it is out of step with modern digital reality, however in the meantime the best way to ensure Alan Jones gets a trial at all (let alone a fair one) is to shut up about the criminal charges against him.

Good morning, Bluesky. Today’s #GoodMorningNews: a trial at Washington University’s school of medicine has shown great results for a vaccine that would prevent recurrence for a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer. It’s a small trial, but 3 years later 16/18 participants remain cancer free

Guys! Who’s in the WA seat of Moore? (Or knows someone who is). They’re looking for their community independent candidate #auspol

You don’t bury an ethics report that would exonerate Trump’s pick. You don’t skip FBI background checks unless his nominees have something to hide. See what they’re doing? Please tell me you see what they’re doing.
