Sport, law, politics and anything else worth sharing. Live in the seat of New England. Genuinely love motorcycle racing, also want action on climate change.

In case you haven't noticed, @facebook is pure, unprincipled shit - the friend of racist RWNJs, populist ratbags and cynical manipulators of the public. If you're on it, this is what you support: https://t.co/aVfdzw3ZCG

This is a dazzling 2.5 minute clip about our shabby treatment of East Timor and our prosecution of Witness K and Bernard Collaery.
How could our government sink so low?

The so-called Australian model of dehumanizations and systematically torture of the refugees & asylum-seekers in offshores detentions it became a template in the USA and Europe. It’s a model for misery, tortures, suffering, imprisonments for years & death.

The National Council of Irrigators calling ABC’s @4corners investigation into the Murray Darling Basin Plan “biased and one sided”, before it’s even aired.

Private health insurance is one of many forms of economic warfare wealthy older generations wage on young people. But it's such a rip-off, it isn't even that good for the beneficiaries... https://t.co/O6CBNKuHAi

Isn’t that nice, taxpayers essentially helped Foxtel to transition it’s infrastructure to satellite, increasing its presence as a streaming service while our NBN became a shadow of what it was meant to be, which was fibre or FTTP. 10.

[Melanie @CartwheelPrint]

Timing is everything. Back to the elephant in the room that is Foxtel. In 2018 they ditched the now NBN-owned HFC network for satellite: ‘Satellite is less prone to outages than the HFC cable and delivers great quality HD signals.’ https://t.co/8al3SN7eRI 9.

[Melanie @CartwheelPrint]

The NBN under Turnbull’s watch was thinking of building over the top of their $800m HFC purchase from Optus, for an extra $375m: https://t.co/etBO3ejadT This ‘leak’ led to the unprecedented #AFPraids of Labor Senator, Stephen Conroy, and MP Jason Clare. #auspol 7.

[Melanie @CartwheelPrint]

How Netflix and the streaming revolution killed the NBN's dream of super fast broadband on fixed wireless https://t.co/FEKUhzsj9d Firstly, the NBN plan being sketched on the back of a napkin by Rudd and Conroy is unverifiable. It’s a myth. #auspol 1.

[Blake James @Morethangrey]

Netflix and streaming are not killing the NBN, the NBN was killed so it couldn't handle Netflix and streaming.

[nickrosstech @NickRossTech]

Abject propaganda from @abcnews regarding @netflix killing the #NBN. Pure Lib propaganda. Shameful excuse "journalism." Hang your head in further shame @abc730 #auspol https://t.co/5O0H23dbkx

Mental experiment: let's go through a list of scandals that have occurred under the Coalition and pretend they happened in a developing country -- what would you think?

[People Against Prisons Aotearoa @againstprisons]

The US government is exporting its prison-industrial complex around the world. In NZ, it fits like a glove over our own punitive colonial justice system. https://t.co/RSdMa60p3i

@simoncrafar @ericgranado @MotoGP @simoncrafar, what sort of times were you doing on the 1000rr this weekend, are the electric bikes faster? Be a good comparison of where they're at in terms of development

[Blake James @Morethangrey]

@SpotlightForYou Maybe people should aspire to become something because it's what they love doing, not because it pays a lot and there is a favourable tax rate?

@vmp9 @ByrnePip @theage Unfortunately and unbelievably, it is Australia at the moment.

[Patricia Rutherford 🐨🇵🇸🍉 @TrishKurralinga]

@vmp9 @theage Unfortubately Michelle, this IS #Australia under #Dutton & #Pezzullo #HumanRights abusers who employ people showing no regards of human rights of those held in detention, whether in #AU #Manus, #PNG or #Nauru. Thoroughly disgusting. Why was a whiteboard not fixed safely? @getup
