A new addition to my TAS investigations. This is one of the most egregious cases of govt negligence I’ve ever come across. Tasmanians need to question how their child protection bodies are run. It’s a disgrace. #politas

Everybody knows the submarines will never be delivered. That’s fact. But the ‘story’ of the submarines’ necessity, that’s a common wisdom the press gallery impose upon themselves, the Main Yarn you have to get on to be One Of Us. They need to prove the superiority of pseudo-event over the event

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend. The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law. Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow. Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

Nine Entertainment appears to have ignored the facts about an assault on one of their own journalists. Tomasi wasn’t “caught in the crossfire”. She wasn’t a protester and only one side was shooting at their employee while she was doing her job. Absolutely disgusting. #Auspol

This is not OK. Young people have watched genocide unfold while leaders & their corporate media turned a blind eye. Now young activists have been detained for trying to take rice and baby formula to starving people. If you have young people in your life, please check in with them. bit.ly/4dU41AJ

Sometimes I get up in the morning and wonder what the hell happened while I slept. Today I was greeted with three of five 1Direction dolls strengthening their cores on the kitchen bench. I think it’s Harry, Zane and RIP Liam but don’t quote me on that. Having young-adult children is the best. 😀

There have been young douchebros around my entire life. It’s just that until recently there wasn’t an industry telling them that they were entitled to be douchebros without anyone calling them douchebros.

I see Littleproud is now alleging the failure of the (then) Coalition's nuclear policy was down to a lack of "agile" messaging. No, David. It was a shit policy that was comprehensively rejected by the electorate. Let it go.

Was the State Library of Queensland forced by the state arts minister to rescind Ren Wyld's book prize & fellowship after she'd travelled to Brisbane for the ceremony? If you punish someone for opposing genocide, you need to say that out loud for the record, not just leak it to the Oz. How shameful.

David Littleproud says the Nats want an energy system that doesn't 'tear up the landscape' ie renewables. David, David, David ... #auspol #ClimateCrisis #LeaveFossilFuelsInTheGround

The day author Ren Wyld was due to receive the Black & Write $15k Indigenous fellowship she was told it had been rescinded. A journo from the Oz seemed to know before she did. Appalling to see QLD govt cave to Murdoch press to punish a First Nations writer for speaking out in support of Palestine.

Good to see the Liberal Party re-connecting with its values - ignoring science, worshiping money, and lying about fossil fuels being a good thing.

If you’ve ever ask yourself how the ABC got so bad, particularly around politics, here’s a big hint. Some News Corp employees never stop being News Corp employees, regardless of where they work. #AusPol

I love how News Corp attacks our voting system rather than acknowledging Australian voters chose those preferences. The Trumper accusations stuck because News Corp shouted the Liberals’ hard-right credentials for months. If anyone’s to blame for the losses, it’s News Corp. #AusPol #CryHarder

When future students reflect on this period of history, they’ll recognise the complicity of the 4th Estate. Republicans failing to uphold fundamental democratic principles should be the lead story. A $400 million breach of the Constitution is more than straining the bounds of propriety.

I mean it - ignore them. They are not relevant to any policy discussion. Their votes are not needed to pass any legislation. Their power of opposition is imaginary. Leave them behind. And do the same to news.corp.

A “poisoned chalice” refers to a gift or opportunity that appears beneficial but is, in reality, damaging or detrimental. Used in a sentence: Poisoned chalice politics won’t help the Liberal Party because Ley is a crumb maiden. #WomenOfCalibre #LuckyAngus www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
