Use of facial recognition technology in Kmart stores broke privacy act The Privacy Commissioner has found Kmart broke the Privacy Act with its use of facial recognition technology, ordering the retail giant not to repeat the practice.

K-Mart got done for tracking everyone's movements

Some months ago Bunnings was caught doing the same

What the ABC failed to mention is that these are the same company, Wesfarmers.

Also, Coles is using military data contractor Palantir, again it's Wesfarmers

Support independent media.

Media concentration leads to political censorship and the undermining of democracy

Two-day festival to go ahead on protected bird's nesting site Conservationists say one of the country's largest colonies of a protected native bird is under threat at a two-day festival site.

This is appalling. Actively excluding a migratory bird from its nesting site for a "festival"

Gina Rinehart helps fund Jacinta Nampijinpa Price's defamation defence Australia's richest person, Gina Rinehart, has helped fund Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price's crowd-funded defence to a defamation action brought by the head of a Northern Territory land council.

It’s nice that Gina feeds her pets well.

Four frames. In each, a man is reclining in an armchair, feet up, while television is on. 1. TV newsreader: “The latest climate risk assessment says without drastic greenhouse emission reduction, we can expect…” (man snoozes) 2. TV shows bushfire “…a large increase in deaths from heat stress, more coastal flooding, storms and extreme weather events…” (man snoozes) 3. TV shows waves crashing on coastal house “…sea level rises will displace coastal dwellers and inhabitants of nearby island states, and…” (man snoozes) 4. TV shows house with arrow pointing down and $BILLIONS) “…our property values could fall by as much as $611 billion…” Man on chair wakes and gasps.

Priorities.

A reminder for Aussies❗️
Sinclair owns majority of media in 🇺🇸.
Murdoch does the SAME THING HERE❗️
He owns 70%+ of papers, radio & tv in 🇦🇺 , which is why they ALL repeat the same ‘Murdoch news’ (aka propaganda).
Switch off Murdoch‼️

#abcInsiders #insiders #auspol the only people wetting their pants about @albomp.bsky.social meeting Donald Trump is legacy media. No one else cares and see Trump as a clown.

In 54 days it'll be the 50th Anniversary of The Dismissal of Gough Whitlam

What I don't see in today's politicians, that Whitlam had, is a vision 4 our future, prepared to really create social change

Gough was intelligent, audacious

I miss politicians like that

Liberal MPs speak up about ‘disturbing’ Advance campaign against ‘mass immigration’ Several MPs say the activist group’s advertising push is becoming a problem for the party because ‘you cannot win from the margins’

They have become too extreme and fascist even for the conservative party. It's a terrorist organisation.

Australians too dependent on government, says Sussan Ley In her first major economic speech, the opposition leader hits out at universal subsidies and says "dependency" has affected Australia's "national character".

Got to love the people that complain about spending money on climate mitigation, "it's all a cash grab", fail to realise that they are being manipulated by Oil & Gas companies because they don't want to give up their cash grab.

This is the Ad that #Newscorpse initially pulled despite that it was already paid for by the Jewish Council of Australia. #Newscorpse deny they pulled it, saying it was delayed due to internal processes. Sounds like BS, I’m pretty sure they don’t want ppl to see it. Plz share.

Tony Abbott's electorate booted him out years ago.

But somehow, he is still directing policy at the Liberal Party.

He is a very dangerous man.

Historian Emma Shortis on American fascism and Australia's options YouTube video by The Sunday Shot

I interviewed historian @emmashortis.bsky.social on the particulars of American fascism, comparisons with Nazism, the global crisis of democracy, and Australia's options. None of this is particularly cheery stuff, but you might find some clarity in it.
