In other news, the chop-shop industry would be harmed if we stopped people stealing cars & the extortion industry would be wiped out if we stopped violent standover tactics. AI is a sexist, damaging, organised criminal outfit that wants their criminality legalised in the UK and elsewhere.

After a court enforced realisation that he wasn’t protected by our broken whistleblower laws, Richard Boyle has pleaded guilty to being a whistleblower. It’s a sad outcome. Richard is a superhero - Australia needs more people like him. #auspol

If starving and bombing children to death doesn’t warrant sanctions what will? For 19 months children have born the brunt of the war in Gaza. It is a war on children. There is no excuse for the brutality being inflicted on the innocent lives of Palestinian children & families. It must end 💔

This has to be one of the most unprofessional “news” posts I’ve seen. American media seems to be broken, seemingly wanting to be more “real housewives of Washington” than responsible journalism.

"80 per cent of new cars bought in Australia are either an SUV, ute, van or light truck." The arms race of ever-increasing vehicle sizes has to stop; the costs to the safety of other road users, infrastructure and the environment are too high. au.news.yahoo.com/calls-to-end...

"It’s so important to say the names of Lischinsky and Milgrim... But it’s also so important to name the Palestinians who are killed in Gaza every day, whose lives are also equally, infinitely precious, and so often are never named, die in utter obscurity, as if their lives don’t matter."

Labour is barking up the wrong tree AGAIN… They can’t out-Reform Reform And arbitrarily cutting immigration will hurt us, while not making one jot of difference to voters Unless they do this…

Keir Starmer denies pushing anti-migrant policies in order to chase Reform, saying that "I'm doing this because it is right, because it is fair and because it is what I believe". A reminder of what he said he believed when he was running for Labour leader.

It's just so obvious: if you try to counter a political opponent by co-opt their policies, you communicate to the electorate that those are the salient issues and if those are the salient issues, then of course the electorate will vote for the party claiming it has all the answers.

Brisbane runs lots of buses. The problem is that they are stuck in traffic with all the people who think it's a good idea to drive a private, usually single occupancy, motor vehicle through the city during peak periods. I guess I'm not joining the kids for their school open day.
