@realBrandonGill Can you send some pointers to Australia, please?

[iJays @ijays93]

@BWJacksonX Never understood open borders stances.
We want lower wages, no national identity, increased security risk, and worse environmental impact really is an odd political position for anyone to take.

@FemCondition @Spoonwood792000 @didndnxnx Not sure why you have to lie here, if not gor a weak argument? Your own data contradicts you. They said 17.9, you said "yes, 12.5 is for under 25s". What?

[iJays @ijays93]

Damning evidence that academic research post mid-2000s is not worth the data it occupies.
Methodological rigour has gone out the window. When I've raised concerns about methodolgy while reviewing articles, editors have shut down my comments and found more receptive reviewers

You can only laugh at this catastrophe.
And thats all we should do, laugh whenever any Labor politician speaks. They say and do nothing of value to society. Leaches and parasites, all of them.

This train of thought runs rampant in the public sector when men are mainly disadvantaged.
If you flip the script, the response is that "we cant consider men because it will undermine efforts to champion women and minorities".
Just look at any suicide prevention strategy.

"Because more boys than girls are struggling, we sometimes act as if only boys are struggling. But the so-called boy crisis is actually a more-boys-than-girls crisis...if we focus too intently on boys' difficulties, we may overlook girls in the same boat." https://t.co/CqS3r2MJGT

@JamesLNuzzo To determine theyre at greater risk, they do post-hoc analysis to the nth degree, while they also comparing their findings with non-specialised studies that come to general conclusions.
It's just an absolutely bunch of trash research deserving of the bin.

Defund and denounce Cambridge as a place of education.

[Ian Leslie @mrianleslie]

Cambridge has abandoned its plan to investigate the hiring of Jason Arday. It will only investigate whether it offered him enough support.

@TMFScottP Governments specifically dont want to fund this as it can be evidence against their policies. And when they do fund it, in my experience (researcher and senior policy), its with rigged terms.

The Queensland government has argued that an individual Christian's belief grounded directly in the Bible does not qualify as protected religious belief under Australian law.

To count, the state says, it must conform to a specific code of conduct required by a particular church.

The case is Beale v State of Queensland, and most Australians still haven't heard of it — or the underhanded tactics the state government is using.

Brisbane legal professional Jayden Beale objected to the COVID-19 injection mandates on the basis of 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. His conviction was that he must glorify God with his body, rather than the government, and not introduce into it substances developed or tested using cells from aborted babies.

The government called this "his subjective interpretation" of Scripture. It labelled his convictions "personal grievances and opinions". In order to shrug off Beale's concerns, it treated different churches as separate "Christian religions".

At a hearing in April, the government's barrister said a pastor's instruction would need to fall "within an accepted canon of code of the relevant religion as an objective test".

Beale has pushed back.

"If the government's argument is ultimately accepted at law, no Christian in Queensland will ever be able to object to something based upon what the Bible says," Beale said.

Lutheran pastor Phil Mueller agreed, saying the state was "effectively attempting to make the government the authority over God".

The state has tried six times to have the case thrown out.

"Effectively, every six months throughout this case I have had to prepare and file serious legal submissions defending my right to a trial," Beale said.

QCAT's published timeframe for anti-discrimination matters is roughly 80 weeks. Beale is almost four years in.

The government dismissed his 13 expert witnesses, including Professor Robert Clancy and Professor Wendy Hoy, as "purported experts".

On 17 June, Member Wilson dismissed the state's sixth strike-out bid and rejected its core argument. "It is difficult to see how any individual reading of and adherence to the Bible can be other than subjective," he wrote.

He told the government's barrister the bid was "a wholly inappropriate way to try and pursue these arguments."

Asked twice for comment by The Daily Declaration, Queensland Health repeated word for word that "mandatory COVID-19 vaccination requirements were a vital part of the state's plan to protect Queenslanders." The government body never addressed the tribunal's findings.

Beale warns that if the state's argument prevails, "the practice of Christianity will therefore become subject to rules set by the government."

The case is headed to trial.

@DHughesy To be replaced by a like minded, ideologically similar LNP candidate? No thanks. You had a chance to use your platform and take a stand against our inherent political problem: the UniParty. Although your fight against Labor is admirable, your new found belief in LNP is naive.

@nascentjude @Josh4Freo One of the strongest arguments against Labor's "clean energy" agenda is that they haven't legalised nuclear energy. Implication is that they're running it to grift and no other reason. This should be hammered by every journalist, but it isn't because of their agendas.

It's an outrage that foreign tech company's agent can hack one of our key health care agencies - and that we only learn about it months later when the US tech company bothers to email our government.

The PM already knew of this incident last week when he refused in Question Time to consider improving the powers of the AI Safety Institute.

We need to move quickly to increase the AI Safety Institute's ability to keep us safe, and to legislate national protections and limits around AI, our privacy and our data.
