Hamish Hastie: “McNeill said it was shameful that the Labor govt voted with One Nation.
“Today’s vote just goes to show you who major parties and One Nation are really working for because it is not WA families who they claim to represent, it is billionaires and big corporations,” she said.” #auspol
Hamish Hastie: “West Australian Greens MP Sophie McNeill triggered a fierce debate in the state’s parliament on Wednesday 11/3/26 as she lashed the influence of the nation’s richest person in politics while demanding Labor cut ties with Gina Rinehart and her company.” #auspol
Hamish Hastie: “McNeill singled out Rinehart’s nearly $900,000 donation to Advance, which she said supported the lobby group to campaign aggressively against climate action and spread anti-immigrant and Islamophobic disinformation during the last federal election campaign.” #auspol
Disgraceful.
Increasingly clear that the future of the species hinges on the American/Israeli empire collapsing before the climate does
Yes. That's the point.

McDonald and key members of the DOGE team bypassed authorized record preservation requirements and violated the Federal Records Act by conducting official government business regarding the cuts using Signal, a messaging application unauthorized for federal employees, and intentionally set to automatically delete messages. DOGE fed grant descriptions into OpenAI’s ChatGPT generative artificial intelligence chatbot, asking it to decide if grants were “DEI.” They then entered ChatGPT’s responses into a spreadsheet compiling all NEH grants, including its “DEI rationale” and “Yes / No DEI?” replies. This ChatGPT-generated list was used in place of the list created by NEH staffers to identify which grants to cut. Projects Grants that were flagged as “DEI” and then terminated included a documentary sharing the story of Jewish women’s slave labor during the Holocaust; an archival project on the lives of Italian Americans; a project to digitize photograph collections of Appalachian residents; and multiple projects to preserve endangered Native American languages and cultures. DOGE staffers violated the Federal Equal Protection Clause of the 5th Amendment by flagging grant descriptions as “DEI” solely because they included “BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color),” “homosexual,” “LGBTQ,” and “Tribal,” among other terms. DOGE staffers also flagged grants that NEH leaders concede had no connection to DEI, including grants that had been awarded for collections management after a natural disaster, preservation training, and improving HVAC systems. After the termination of previously awarded grants, Michael McDonald asked an NEH staff member to solicit the Tikvah Fund’s application for a single-source award; the NEH ultimately granted it $10 million.
“The principle that knowledge of history, literature, religion, philosophy, and the arts is necessary to sustain a strong and resilient nation drove Congress to establish the NEH,” said ACLS President Joy Connolly. “Our lawsuit reveals this administration’s contempt for that principle and for public investment in research for the common good. DOGE employees’ use of ChatGPT to identify ‘wasteful’ grants is perhaps the biggest advertisement for the need for humanities education, which builds skills in critical thinking.”

We sent Iranian refugees to Manus Island. That's how fucked up we are.

You can tell how much Labor and the Coalition care about the poor Iranians by the way they hastily built a series of offshore concentration camps to imprison Iranian refugees *forever* when they tried to escape the regime.
Chris Minns asked why he singled out & sacked Anthony D’Adam for spkng out against NSW Police brutality when his other MPs did too?
Minns says bc D’Adam was P/Secretary for “Police”
Tudehope “Can I just stop u there?
He wasn’t P/Sec to Police”
Incompetent? Or dishonest?🙄 #auspol
The newly amalgamated Adelaide University brings utter shame upon itself in its first months of operation.
In a statement following this shocking act, it risibly claims it is a place where "exchange of ideas can happen freely".
Not if the ideas include a defence of the remaining Gazans, it seems.
When Mark Latham tried to address the private school funding he got smashed.
Who knew?
This is bad, and part of what makes it so bad is that this is clearly pulling from *genre* understandings of reality, which the statistical linguistic machine seemingly cannot distinguish from other text included in the training data. Truly an ideology machine where every episode of CSI is true.
She's no lady that's for sure.
They are quite likely to have been involved in targeting this Iranian frigate:

Cut-price Costello Tim Wilson on Sky just now: "It’s very clear to me that when there’s an increase in petrol prices, Jim Chalmers collects more excise revenue."
Excise is not based on price changes. It's indexed twice a year in line with inflation.
For most of human history, the night sky has been a shared inheritance, a source of wonder. Now, more than a billion children see barely any stars in the night sky above their homes. So what does that mean for humanity?
To our shame, we've done nothing to end this genocide, either.

Two Anglo Australian men have attempted terrorist attacks in the past 30 days driven by white supremacy ideology. So when can I expect Pauline Hanson & Angus Taylor to front media calling on Anglo Australians to show they’ve values compatible with ours.
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
A Labor insider told me it was common knowledge that Albo and Tanya had an affair. He was adament about it.
Just wish the Greens would pull their finger out and get more public on significant policies.
