@TheAusInstitute Richard, perhaps you should dig a little deeper into what went wrong following the Labor Party's 1980s WA Inc campaign finance scandal? A big tax fraud involving senior politicians on both sides of politics.

Stunning revelations on massive ‘D-Notice’ system censorship of journalists in UK and the push to introduce similar draconian censorship in Australia.

“In a written response to questions from Australia’s Attorney-General, DSMA Secretary Dodds crowed how reporters “very rarely” fail to follow its “advice”, and if outlets do “publish information that may be harmful to national security,” the Committee can demand the offending article’s removal. 

“It appears some officials in Canberra were [already] seeking to emulate the system, asking Australian media to “give notice ahead of publication” so authorities could opine on it.”

“DSMA Secretary Dodds described the consideration of “public interest” as being “of no concern when issuing advice.”

“The British government can “seek a court injunction” or prosecute journalists who violate [D-Notice] Committee advice under the Official Secrets Act – a point the DSMA Secretary, Brig. Dodds, emphasized in meetings with Australian officials.

“The documents lay bare how the secretive Defence and Security Media Advisory (DSMA) Committee censors the output of British journalists, while categorizing independent media as “extremist” for publishing “embarrassing” stories.

“In addition, the documents also show the Committee’s intentions to extend the D-Notice system to social media, stating its desire to engage with “tech giants” in a push to suppress revealing disclosures on platforms like Meta and Twitter/X.”

Excellent article by @KitKlarenberg and @DeclassifiedAus writer #WilliamEvans.

@SenatorCash Australia's espionage, sabotage and secrecy laws are being used by senior politicians on both sides of Australian politics to hide links between our parliament, our military and national security establishment and transnational organised crime:

@DavidPocock @abcnews People involved in the North West Gas Shelf Project are engaged in espionage and sabotage operations (foreign interference) against Australians, including in stripping our assets and rights (water rights). Richard Goyder. Michael Chaney. etc.

Young Australians need to pay much, much closer attention to the conflicts of interest of the Group of Eight Universities, our secret services, elitists in our military, oligarchs, global capital markets, etc. Their rights and assets are being stripped.

@MrRexPatrick, I raised corruption & slavery issues with Commissioner Brereton & the NACC in a submission to the UN Anti-Slavery Commissioner earlier this month. It's now published on the OHCHR website. Here's the final version of my UN OHCHR submission - https://t.co/IS59XpmzlR

[Rex Patrick @MrRexPatrick]

The ALP/LNP designed the #NACC to be a dud. #NACC Commissioner Paul Brereton inspires no confidence. He should go. If back in the Senate I’ll press hard for the NACC be given real teeth and to hold public hearings. #FederalICACNow #auspol https://t.co/bcYXAaznnT

Serious concerns about Commissioner Brereton’s impartiality are growing & still, not a single public hearing from the NACC.

To restore trust, we need new leadership at the top & public hearings where it’s in the public interest.

Hi @elonmusk, I just clocked the significance of the UK's Parliament Act 1911. What does President Trump feel about hereditary peers?

The LNP don't like their own words repeated back to them, which is why they're infuriated by this ad.

Which is also why you should share it.

This week's @abcnews column: the election is a contest of band-aids. No-one is seriously tackling Australia's two big shortages, housing and productivity.

@SenatorCash The trouble is Senator Cash that the Liberal Party and the National Party are at least as vile as Labor / the CFMEU, and possibly much, much worse. You are covering up the fact the your own Liberal Prime Minister, Harold Holt, was assassinated.

[Jewish Council of Australia @jewishcouncilAU]

Our media release in response to yesterday’s announcement by the Australian Federal Police that the caravan found with explosives back in January, was part of a ‘fabricated terrorism plot’ orchestrated by organised crime.

Sarah Schwartz, Executive Officer, Jewish Council of Australia, said:

'Yesterday’s statement from the AFP should prompt reflection from every politician, journalist and community leader who has sought to manipulate and weaponise fears within the Jewish community. The attempt to link these events to the support of Palestinians — whether at protests, universities, conferences or writers festivals — has been irresponsible and dangerous.

'It is now clear that individuals are seeking to exploit the Jewish community, and the broader public’s concern about antisemitism. Disinformation and irresponsible reporting is providing a permissive environment for these malicious acts. We restate our calls for politicians to act responsibly and stop using the Jewish community as political footballs to push divisive agendas.

'Those who have used these attacks to spread Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism should be ashamed of themselves for exploiting the Jewish community to push bigotry and hatred, and attempt to silence legitimate criticism of Israel.

'The Jewish Council remains committed to advocating for a society where diversity is celebrated, where all individuals and communities can live without fear of discrimination or violence, and where injustice is called out, at home and abroad.'

@DavidPocock, why not find a way to reduce the cost of food, instead of increasing the dependency that Australians have on "the state"? For example, by removing global capital markets from our water markets?

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Inadequate support payments are not keeping people safe

It means ppl are skipping meals, living in housing stress, less likely to leave violent relationships & costing taxpayers more over the longer term.

We can do better & we should in the next budget

"We’ve let traitors quietly sell our nation out."

[Rex Patrick @MrRexPatrick]

Anyone thinking about voting for the ALP/LNP duopoly really should read this accounting of where our national wealth has gone. Vast profits for foreign corporations while we’ve been impoverished. We’ve let traitors quietly sell our nation out. #auspol https://t.co/G9WUVFxFE6
