Economies don't exist for the top 1%. Capitalism is as evil as communism as both systems end up with a top 1% very wealthy with the rest expected to be serfs. Exist just to get the top 1% more wealth and power. BOYCOTT THE RICH
We have so many Chinese students - vulnerable kids in a strange country with v different rules. Having taught such students what strikes me is how big an opportunity this is for soft diplomacy.
They are so anxious about critiquing government and being watched. We can show there are options.
No doubt another black flag in the making.
Two men allegedly brought guns into the MCG during an AFL game, which has triggered serious questions about venue security processes in Australia.
Lol
friends, please buy my books can you imagine the genuine horror if i had to turn to only fans?
Women will be the change we want to see in our world. We aren’t relying on white men, women who cover for me or career politicians!
Go the Independents!! @allegraspender.bsky.social is the best representative I’ve ever had! #auspol

I'm currently writing the sequel to #Gunnawah and I have a 40-something male character in Dec 1974 driving a sports car of some description. The character is a well-off wanker
Any suggestions on the car? Something shiny and ostentatious would be good
Thanks in advance 🙏🏽

Police sign up top. Text Sydney high school senior investigated by police over deepfake pornographic images of female students It's alleged the teenage male student created both pornographic deepfakes alongside social media profiles of his fellow students.
Laws passed last year made what this student did a criminal offence but there is no action on platforms used to make this content - some apps and websites are even set up to specifically make stuff like this. Why isn’t government attacking this on all fronts?
All that 'voluntary' labour from poverty stricken jobseekers helps enable this #auspol
No CEO of any charity should be earning $795,442 pa. Charities should be working to remove the need for the 'charity' they dispense. If not, they are not doing charity, they are doing business in the poverty space
The Heritage Foundation is threatening to go after writers and editors of Wikipedia.
It’s time to donate some more money if you can.
It’s one of the only places that’s safeguarding facts.
The underlying sentiment of this statement is that the political journals in Australia are so woeful, that this allows the phrase ‘The best’ & David Speers to be used in the same sentence
Obviously said editor is only making this enlightened observation for the traditional mainstream media

Australia doesn't need to worry if Trump says he wants to Invade, as the troops will probably end up in Austria. 😆
She will learn the reality soon enough. So long as you are instilling protection and autonomy from men she will be fine.
A strong, independent media is one of the only things that can prevent the complete destruction of democracy under a would-be autocrat. These media owners have chosen to look after their own $$$ interests, and in doing so have decided democracy isn’t worth the trouble.
“Democracy dies in the dark.”
Every time I see Neanderthal crap like this I want to destroy SM for good. I really didn’t need to know these people exist on our planet.
Please fix the IPad interface on @bsky.app ! Done with twitter but until you fix it I am stuck. Thank you in advance.
Well deserved. Awesome article.
I am absolutely delighted to have the No 1 most read article at the AIMN for 2024. Particular thanks to #NZpol for the interest. The #AtlasNetwork is more obvious in our small countries compared to complex scenes in Global North proper. Easier to watch in action. #Auspol theaimn.com/new-zealand-...
Australian bosses could go to jail for 10 years & be fined $1.65 million if they underpay their workers.
The follows years of underpayment scandals, with cases at prominent employers including Woolworths, Qantas, NAB, BHP & the ABC.
Ps : Note it’s called ‘overreach’ when held accountable.

The ABC could strengthen itself easily:
- Bring back a Lateline format to the 10pm time slot to set the news cycle Mon-Fri
- Train an army of investigative reporters
- Power up iView with more shows & movies
- Reinvigorate local news services & radio
- Remove the tabloid-enthusiasts
#auspol
I cannot believe the majority still swallow it without question. It’s astounding.
