AEC teams need to be send in as advisors, to train American para-electoral count staff, and help their attempts to build basic State capacity. Start with simple things like preferential ballot counting and move up to more complex proportional representation. An NZ trainer contingent can do MMP

Good morning, from Brooklyn, New York. Fuck you, Cuomo.

hey quick question: is anyone in the government's leadership going to say anything about the ABC? surely a high profile unfair dismissal linked to managing cowing to a lobby group, and involving board meddling, is worth saying something? maybe even an investigation? some consequences for the board?

Good morning! Wishing you all a creative day in complete defiance of the bastards.

Australia's largest #superannuation fund AustralianSuper is on the brink of becoming Whitehaven Coal's biggest shareholder, undermining its #climate commitments. There's growing outrage from members concerned their fund is endangering a safe future. 1/4

trump is absolutely desperate to get a nobel peace prize so he can close that gap on obama

There are 377,000 missing Palestinians from Gaza.

leftists are consistently labeled as out of touch extremists, but there isn’t a single prominent left position this unpopular

Among many other things this is a proliferation nightmare. The lesson learned will be never negotiate with the United States.

Well this hits harder than ever. "This book examines the claim that Australia is a middle power trying to uphold a rules-based international order. Rejecting these euphemisms, it shows that Australia is a sub-imperial power upholding a US-led imperial order."

Parasite becomes aggressive. Sure all the musicians looking at our £0.0003 Spotify payouts for our work are delighted this is what our fans’ money went towards instead, and the fans equally pleased. Artists are always very in favour of war, traditionally.

even with their masks off and actual goals out in the open they keep brazenly pushing this line. and centrists keep running along with curling brooms, smoothing their path.

Why you might even say this is precisely what policies of “institutional neutrality” and opposition to “viewpoint discrimination” are design to foster. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/u...
