‘Naming them is not justice’: robodebt victims feel let down by findings of corruption watchdog
Heard of Heritage and Project2025? Tip of the Titanic's iceberg. Wait until you hear about the Mont Pelerin Society and Atlas Network.
From ABC News. This is an Australian article, but mostly applies to the whole world

Speaking at a conference in Hobart, former Australian of the Year Grace Tame says it is her last speaking engagement for the year at this stage.
Interesting that sadism of the malignant narcissist operates simultaneously on so many levels: personal-cheap oversized Florsheim shoes to humiliate associates, national-ICE shooting and unnecessary tariffs driving cost of living, and global-Epstein pedo-blackmail-spy network & world war 3.
It is already funny but now it’s become far funnier because they know everyone knows and is looking at their shoes but they still have to do this
You've justified, defended & been complicit in A FULL-SCALE GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE for around 29mths now, @australianlabor.bsky.social, but suddenly Labor MPs are "quietly alarmed"—what, their electorates are waking up that thanks to you, "Australia is at war with Iran"? Cry us a river to the sea.
I’ll always trust the findings on Robodebt from Commissioner Catherine Holmes, who led a commission of integrity, who didn’t hold hearings in secret, over & above the findings of the NACC, led by Paul Brereton who works in the shadows with conflicts running through his veins.
I think? That's the giveaway _ we know he can't think.
Subsidies to mining companies growing faster than the NDIS, child care, aged care.

Four frames. Title: “The rules”. Albo and Penny Wong at a lectern. 1. Albo: “Some of you have asked if rules still apply, so we’d like to clear things up.” Wong: “Obviously we shouldn’t kill!” 2. Albo: “However, if you hurt or kill someone and enough people agree they were bad, then the rules aren’t up to us.” Wong: “It’s a ‘matter for them’” 3. Albo : “Also, if you get someone else to do the killing for you and someone accuses you of it, that’s ‘a conspiracy’” Wong: “Against the rules!” 4. Plus, if thousands of innocent people get killed when you kill the bad person, you must focus on the six people you saved.” Wong: “That’s the rule!”
The rules.
My @smh cartoon.
The watchdog says "That politician can't be corrupt because he has been in the job for ages and he wouldn't get reelected if he wasn't 'above board'"
NACC investigation into Robodebt reveals public service corruption, but it will take much more to fix the system theconversation.com/nacc-investi...
"The time is now to break with the wrongs of the past and fix the capital gains tax discount once and for all. We must begin the long path of returning the Australian dream to buying a home, rather than negatively gearing one." #HousingCrisis #Budget2026 #auspol

Thanks & solidarity to @chexabonus.bsky.social @kathmadgwick.bsky.social for your relentless pursuit of justice for Robodebt victims.
We are sorry for this devastating outcome, but your actions and those of everyone who stopped this scheme reverberate in the ongoing fight for a safe welfare system.
imagine if Labor cabinet ministers & MPs had an ounce of the character & courage of Senator Fatima Payman—they could prevent harms, achieve positive changes or at the least represent their constituents instead of Big Business, miners, weapons corps, financiers, property developers, landlords etc
That is a unanimous, adamant YES. The sooner the better.
4/ Book 5 of PROOF OF DEVILRY will detail what Epstein was up to with the Russians. Books 3 and 4 have already begun telling the fully sourced story of what Epstein was doing with the Saudis and Emiratis.
Please urge people to read PROOF OF DEVILRY. It's unlocking this scandal.
3/ But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Epstein was intimately involved in domestic and international efforts to steal the 2016 election for Donald Trump, and those efforts were successful. Trump would be a footnote in history without Jeffrey Epstein's money, connections, and labor.
US investigation exposes Trump’s lies about the US missile strike on an Iranian girls school that killed over 170 people mainly school girls. It was a US attack. End AUKUS, pull Australian troops out of this awful illegal war.

Let’s call this hate speech. It’s more hateful than from the river to the sea and targeted an identified individual, the then PM. It was incitement to assassinate the PM. Blokes like this should be pushed into the dark corners of social ignominy, not lifted up a candidates for political office.
In part two of our series, The Making of a Police State, we tally up the dozens of state and territory laws that have eroded free speech and democratic rights over the last 40 years.

Nothing to see here—just the Trump administration officials who'd oversee an invocation of the Insurrection Act and subsequent martial law declarations moving into military-base housing.
