Now the PNG govt is trying to take back some control, but the miners are providing guns to villagers to ramp up the tribal wars and destabilise the country.
A brave ABC journalist is doing an amazing job to keep up with developments.

#PNG is in a battle with global gold mining giants. It's less than 50 years since Australia left the tiny nation to fend for itself and global corporations entered with their own armies to run the gold mines.

Pressure Works!
New framework for Aust Public Service: Core work of APS must be done by our core workforce - APS employees. The Greens have pushed for outsourced jobs to come back to APS & start rebuilding the public service. Let’s make sure it’s properly funded and managed.

@JaneoOakley As long as it links to regional and local voices as detailed in the Langton Calma report.

If the media’s crusade of lies & misinformation against the Voice isn't enough to demand Truth in Media (& Politics)Laws, then we get what we deserve…& so does @AustralianLabor
This result should smack Labor hard enough in the face to force them to act. If not now, then when?

@AusIndiMedia @coonavass The truth telling that will follow anyway. Not just about history but also the ongoing water theft, ecosystem destruction and institutional racism in health, education, business, banking.......

Maybe now the arrogant fucks in the ALP will realise what an existential threat facebook has become to our species.

Serious question: Is society better off with strikes, or without them? Australia is now a society without strikes; it is bipartisan policy that a government body must decide whether workers can withdraw their labour, and it’s virtually impossible to do it. Employers can always withhold their money, but workers cannot withhold their work unless some government employees say they can, which means there can never be balanced negotiations.

Heard your name pop up in a radio news snippet this morning @WWeno7 and it got me very excited, sounds like our state health minister might finally be running an inquiry into institutional racism in Aboriginal Health Services?? Can't find any details anywhere else!! Can you help?

If a tax on burping cows means we can start eating kangaroo again I'm all for it, but especially tax the bulk of our beef which is produced for export. #rndrive

Cheeky buggers at @SpotifyAU monopolise all global music, then boot our families off our family plans for not opening an email, then upping the charge for the family plan.
Maybe a good ACCC or Senate investigation?

🚨 Breaking 🚨

We have just uncovered in budget estimates that the AFP who are currently investigating breaches of the law by PwC have PwC as their internal auditors with wide scale access to information and systems.

That’s an impossible conflict of interest.

Not exactly surprised to hear Labor didn't like my proposal to only pay politician wages when investments on the stock market pay off. But then, that's exactly what they're proposing to do with their housing plan...
