The BBC has access to a video that shows the moment that Titan home made submarine imploded. It includes the wife of one of the deceased asking what that bang was. Just because they have the video doesn’t mean they need to publish it. Gross, tabloid, ugly media without any decency from the BBC.

For those wondering how Collaroy beach is getting on after the storms? What beach? Don’t let your local Council build a vertical seawall to protect private property and kill your beach. Northern BEACHES Council doesn’t deserve the name !!

University of Technology Sydney asked KPMG to analyse researchers by income generated and produce a master Excel list of productivity at the individual level as part of its $360m restructure. The EBA might have something to say about that. Revealing docs. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/educati...

Goodness me.

Dunno that it's all that mysterious, but don't mention the climate wars! Piece doesn't, until right at the end, in a reported remark by a local. None of the government experts quoted speak it.

"Habits in the media mean that the overwhelming focus of much reporting since the election has been on the future of the Coalition as if it really, really mattered ... instead of dismissing the brawling as the death throes of what are now effectively a group of small fringe parties." 🎯🔥🔥🔥

At risk of being rude, have others noticed the extreme irony of the National Party (self declared ‘friend of farmers’) breaking up the coalition because they oppose Net Zero while Australia languishes under extreme floods in NSW and extreme drought everywhere else? No? Just me, then?

The split. My @smh cartoon.

For years we've been told to vote Liberal because they supposedly know how to run a business. Well, if any business was as out of touch with its market as the Libs are, it would go under, just as the Libs are now. #auspol

Another Australian cultural institution failing to uphold its own values. Another person punished and silenced for opposing war crimes. Another cultural institution that doesn’t have the bravery to speak honestly about its straight up censorship. Weak as piss. www.slq.qld.gov.au/about/news-a...

Please enjoy this expert analysis - published a mere 3 days before the federal election - from one of Australia's highest paid political journalists. 🤔

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨Liberal Party Senator Jacinta Price has today written to tens of thousands of people spruiking MAGA-style disinformation group "Advance". Price backs the "far-right" group & calls for money from public. Massive questions for Liberals, just one day after split... theklaxon.com.au/2dxw

No idea why media still depicts Nats as a farmers party. They are a mining party beholden to coal and gas interests and funded by Gina Rinehart. When there is a conflict between farmers and fossil fuels, they always back fossil fuels. Their opposition to wind is to protect fossil fuels for longer.

Casting what is happening in Gaza as a ‘war’ with the attendant language of ‘ground operations’ etc is obscene, yes. It’s also a basic denial of journalism’s responsibility to truth.

"I could own a private jet, 8 cars and eat 7 steaks a day and theoretically I could call myself 'carbon neutral'...if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" @australiainstitute.org.au #auspol #climate #climateintegrity #greenwashing

David Littleproud is out again this morning pushing nuclear energy & blaming the Coalition loss in part on the government's $600b cost figure which he says is a lie. The figure actually came from Smart Energy Council analysis from mid-2024. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"ground operations" is the ABC's way of explaining genocide done by Israel. Such a weak media

Depriving people of food, shelter and water is a war crime, it is genocide. The intentional targeting of the Palestinian civilian by Israel is just heinous. Israel needs to be sanctioned and boycotted. #auspol #Gaza #Genocide @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social

This is getting a bit sad now. AFR clutching at very thin straws Reminder, currently 80,000 people are affected. One estimate is that just 3.5% of all people currently employed would be affected in the future (if the threshold doesn't change for 30 years)

Good news everyone.

Afternoon walk

What's up?

TLDR: they're not actually accepting responsibility for anything, and are not intending to make any significant changes to better prepare for the next one. Tasmanians: you're on your own. Expect to regularly be without power for weeks at a time. Buy a generator or a really big battery.

Who thought letting billionaires control the public sphere was a good idea again?

Brilliantly written piece by @frankbongiorno.bsky.social: “The impotent are still pure: the Liberals emerge from the 2025 campaign unsullied by a dalliance with strangers. They now have their reward” theconversation.com/political-pa...

A painfully insightful piece from #AmyRemeikis. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Barbara Pocock has slammed Antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal for accusing Adam Bandt of antisemitism saying she “did not offer a single example.” Says this distracts from Antisemitic attacks of “extreme Right” & “neo-Nazis” & it’s not antisemitic “to criticise the genocide” youtu.be/wCOFezK4xIU?...

Husic unshackled looks leadership material. Bluntly honest about Israel starving Palestinians being a war crime. Prepared to face need for tax reform. #Insiders

A perfect appraisal of Dutton and the main stream media. #auspol #BinNight

I haven’t seen anyone from the Liberal Party use the word “listen”. It’s all about “selling” rather than “listening”. Maybe that’s why they’re unelectable.

Also NEW recent allegations emerging

“Surely the influence of these ignorant media stooges has to come to an end.” Former Liberal leader John Hewson condemns the REAL ‘hate media’ for its role in the electoral evisceration of the Liberal Party. @thesaturdaypaper.com.au www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/20705/...

This. OMG finally. Congrats to the brave whistleblowers and victim-survivors who have come forward. It's been many years coming. First of many alleged perpetrators to face justice, hopefully. www.themercury.com.au/news/tasmani...

Rio Tinto has not modernised its agreement with an Aboriginal group on whose lands it mines iron ore, failing to fulfil a commitment made five years ago when it destroyed an important Aboriginal heritage site… www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

"They watered down their policies in order to get elected. Well, they've done that." "The big choice for Labor now is do they use the Greens to strengthen up their reform agenda in the Senate, or do they do what they did in the last Parliament and use the Liberals to water it down?" #auspol

THIS IS THE START OF THE CANAVAN ERA BABY

Paul Keating has commented on Ed Husic’s exclusion from the new Albanese ministry, making the point that it’s showing contempt for the Muslim community who supported Labor

I will never understand how people who advise the govt to do and say nothing about this look at themselves in the mirror without throwing up. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Timmy Wilson suggesting a grassroots movement brought him back to power is Jacinta Price level of detachment from reality. Advance led a disgusting campaign that was tailored perfectly for someone who is an empty suit.
