Living on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people. I code therefore I am. I'm not scared of wearing a mask, I am scared, however, of wearing a ventilator.
Thank you @bairdjulia for addressing the giant elephant in the room: why on earth is Linda Reynolds pursuing this defamation action against Brittany Higgins? https://t.co/0M8SadYFYH
No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.
Tim Walz the best choice. Plainly more suitable than any other. Don’t overlook that given Harris’ adulatory publicity her lead over Trump is only modest. Still this solid choice makes JD Vance now look as quirky as Palin. And expect Trump to become more desperate, volatile, weird
A phased in gambling ad ban would destroy sport - where have we heard that before?
The govt's own inquiry recommended a total ban, it was supported by the whole parliament & the community - why are they now walking it back?
Let’s be clear: Someone who suggested the “termination” of the Constitution should never have the chance to stand behind the seal of the President of the United States.
Never again.
What a load of half arsed, weak policy making. Show some courage Labor. Beholden to powerful interests much?
Ban ALL gambling ads. Now.
