Germany and France are out of Palantir and now Spain. It's time for Australia to start looking towards sovereign control of critical systems and reducing our reliance on US billionaire owned and controlled tech.

The Christian Brothers have billions of dollars in property and their schools have banked over $1.5 billion in public funding over the last decade - but apparently they can’t afford to compensate survivors of child sexual abuse?

Forget One Nation. Forget Labor. I think the discussion needs to be firmly on Angus Taylor and the LNP constantly sitting around 17-19%. This is the party that has held govt for the 3/4 of the last century. This is what the major news is in #auspol. That’s where the MSM should be
