Exceptional analysis of Elon Musk’s incitements through X by @ABCmediawatch 👇Musk refuses to amend the malign/toxic algorithmic power of X, falsely claiming it’s all “free speech”. Trouble is it megaphones and actually facilitates violent racism.
Former ADF chief: " If AUKUS is the right answer for Australia, it will withstand examination. If it cannot withstand examination, that is something Australians need to know now – not in 2035" https://t.co/DRiZZYocxJ
And they’re all the same. It’s almost a rule that the bigger they are the worse they are. Telstra, Optus, Qantas, the big banks, Coles, Woolworths. All run by wildly overpaid ‘chief executives’ who would rather wrestle crocodiles than actually encounter a customer. Fuck ‘em all.
Israel is moving to seize the West Bank – and silence makes it easier for the occupation. Sign this petition to push leaders to freeze trade and sanction the Israeli ministers pushing this illegal takeover. https://t.co/yBDK6za7v6
Rightwing operatives have registered fake progressive parties to steal votes and funnel preferences to One Nation in Victoria. But there’s a fix already on the table – and Victorians have a chance to get it passed before November. Add your name ✍️ https://t.co/PUIHs9m77m
After massive global pressure, Iranian Nobel Peace Laureate Narges Mohammadi has been transferred to a hospital where her own doctors can treat her. But she could still be sent back to prison at any moment. Let’s finish the job and demand her freedom: https://t.co/qkXpL2IE0V
Pauline Hanson calling Jacinta Allan and Julia Gillard weak is a bit rich. Pauline Hanson has banned our national broadcaster from attending her press conferences because she can’t handle their questions.
@AmeliaBee7 What if it was Hanson’s “face” instead? Isn’t this essentially the same witch campaign used against Julia? Why do so many females appear to support these campaigns? How tf is this type of action so popular and more than tolerated now? How screwed are we?
Political allegiances aside; this is pure misogyny
AUS is in the midst of a Femicide epidemic. Fact that this abhorrent vitriol towards yet another female leader is tolerated at all explains why too many women still live in fear here every day
This is completely intolerable
My piece in the @GuardianAus today arguing govts can't afford to repeat the mistakes they made with the gas industry.
With huge investment in data centres - why aren't we asking what this is all for and how Australians are going to benefit from it?
If we do want data centres and multinational tech giants are going to use Australian land, Australian energy, Australian water & Australian workers to build the infrastructure that powers the AI revolution, then Australians deserve a fair return.
That's the lesson we failed to learn with gas. We shouldn't wait another generation to learn it again.

Yet another parliamentary inquiry recommends a full ban of gambling advertising.
What will it take for govts to put people first, act on the evidence and reduce harm?
The evidence is there we just need the political will.

These are the people One Nation supporters condemn as they endorse a billionaire’s puppet who repeatedly voted against pay rises for minimum wage workers while she claims to represent the ‘Aussie battler’
One Nation voters really are a very special kind of stupid
Imagine how demeaning it would be to crawl to & take orders from Hegseth. Marles happy to do so.
& galling our govt insults us with Newspeak pretending US bases are "rotations"
