The AI that 'hacked' the Aus government should have finished the job and hacked into the system that reveals line by line where the fuck all our taxpayer dollars are being spent.

I knew they had it in them. This was the kind of game that makes you proud and the reason you fight for home ice. Maple Leafs did something truly splendid on this night!

Neither Albo nor Dutton wants to fix the housing crisis, because for them it's not a crisis.

Albo's worldview is one of a socialist utopia - he's lived his whole life milking the taxpayer, from the moment he was born until now.

Dutton's worldview is one of enforcement and degenerate property investing - which he's benefited from enormously. A copper and a property degen... What a combo.

Neither of these men are fit to lead a nation where young people are now completely bereft of the opportunity to own a home that isn't a debt trap dogbox with absurd repayments barely worth the paper it's written on.

Dutton and Albo's solution is for you to take on as much debt as possible, to bail out their generations' sick obsession with financialising shelter for their own ill-gotten gain.

They're stuck in a world, and a mindset, where you can just work some normal job for 30 years, 40 hours a week, and fluke your way into a 4 bedroom McMansion without really even trying.

Albo himself said just last week that he yearns for the days where there was a 'common set of facts' in the media landscape - where everyone has a single newspaper to read from.

Like what the actual fuck.

That is straight up authoritarian bullshit.

The guy is a maniac. Someone with this worldview cannot be persuaded of reality, because he's never lived in it.

He's stuck in 1980 and will drag every last Australian into the abyss with him if re-elected.

Both of them want to retire into a world where the next generation works like a slave, saves like a slave, and lives like a slave - WITH SLAVES, that they're importing from low-trust countries in bulk.

Whoever gets elected is elected to serve Australia, yet everyone knows they'll serve everyone BUT Australians.

They'll serve big businesses, India, Chinese wanting to buy our land, unis that supposedly sell education but actually sell visas, etc.

But they won't serve you.

They have no connection to the real world, no understanding of the problems that have lead this country to where it is today, and no ability to conceive of the solutions nor enact them - they lack both the know-how and the courage to fix this country.

We're now at the stage where they are just looting the place for themselves on the way out, without regard to the future consequences, because they won't be around to deal with it.

We stand for a non-interventionist, Australia First foreign policy. And we mean it.

Many of you know we oppose Australian involvement in Ukraine, but we also stand against foreign intervention in Israel and Gaza.

The reality is that Australian taxpayers are funding both sides of the same war while painting a target on our backs in the process.

The Australia-Israel Technological Innovation Cooperation Agreement and Austrade’s Tel Aviv Landing Pad both send Australian taxpayer money to the Israeli war effort. Australia’s defence budget further supports Israel’s war program through participation in initiatives like the F-35. Innocuously named, the F-35 is a US-led program, backed by Australian taxpayers, that provides billions of dollars in military funding to Israel every year.

But if you thought your money was only going to Israel, you’d be mistaken. After being used to bomb Gaza, your money is then sent as humanitarian aid to the survivors. Last financial year, over $60 million of Australian taxpayer money was automatically sent to UNRWA.

Think this is insane? Join the Libertarian Party, where we will never support sending your money to prop up foreign wars that don't threaten Australian soil.

@Sakis25 Great stuff. Looks like its going to be a banger

[Jordan H Knight @jordanhknight_]

Australia has just undergone one of the largest mass immigration experiments in its history.

And it was by no means an accident.

Here's how one meeting led to 1.4 million migrant arrivals, a generational housing crisis, and a cost of living crisis.

Step by step we head towards our cyberpunk future

- Location: Broward County, Florida.

- Judge: Broward County Judge Andrew Siegel used a VR headset during a stand-your-ground hearing.

- Case: Miguel Rodriguez Albisu, owner of Cielo Farms, faces nine counts of aggravated assault with a firearm after allegedly pulling a gun on guests at a wedding reception in March 2023. The defense claims self-defense after guests attacked Albisu’s wife and son.

- VR Use: The defense presented a VR simulation on an Oculus Quest 2 headset to illustrate Albisu’s perspective.

- Significance: This is likely the first time VR evidence was admitted in a Florida courtroom. The VR simulation aimed to help the judge understand the situation and Albisu’s state of mind.

- Outcome: The judge allowed the VR demonstration but didn’t commit to jury use. The stand-your-ground hearing will likely continue into early next week.

This VR courtroom use sets a precedent for immersive evidence presentation but raises concerns about accuracy, manipulation, and fairness in legal contexts.

I was wondering why I was seeing lots of the same usertags when playing the Speed Freeks open beta. I guess this explains it.
