So disappointing @bsky.app @pfrazee.com Kent was an early adopter. He brought me to Bluesky. This needs to be fixed for him and all other skywalkers that need this. Please.

Great analysis by Laura Tingle.

βAnalysis from The Australia Institute shows that LNG exporters ship far more gas overseas than Australians uses domestically,β writes Louise Morris, Advocate at The Australia Institute.
βYet Australians are repeatedly told there is a looming gas shortage.β

The reality is the Canberra bubble was never going to allow their own to face consequences for Robodebt
They deserve an order of awesome medal
Australian federal and state governments are fascist trash
#ridiculous #auspol #australia
Iβll always trust the findings on Robodebt from Commissioner Catherine Holmes, who led a commission of integrity, who didnβt 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.
Building sign being replaced with βNACC: No Actual Consequences Commissionβ Person commenting: βit used to be to be called the National Anti-Corruption Commission, but I guess they wanted to lower our expectationsβ
The βNo Actual Consequences Commissionβ, by @fionakatauskas.bsky.social
David Shoebridge has called out the βthree war partiesβ Labor, the Coalition & One Nation for joining forces to shut the door on refugees who are now fleeing the illegal war on Iran.

Speaking in Sydney as a guest of The Australia Institute, @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social, former Greek finance minister and economist, told the crowd he feels βthat surge of fascism darkening in my soul β¦ darkening our doorstepsβ.

I can not believe how generous you have all been about Where it all went wrong - the response has blown me away. Truly. I have a couple of copies I can send to people who might be waiting a long time at their library or can't afford a book right now - please pop into my DMs and I'll do my best x
Heβs so close to getting it
it is actually pathetic watching these βreportersβ pretend thereβs any content in that soupy demented mess of a brain of his
they now go away and file stories based on pretending thereβs something going on here
journalism has betrayed the world by consistently polishing his turds for him
Remember this next time anyone in the govt says they canβt afford to raise the rate.

the key is what Richardson said about having got to a point that he was βno longer enjoying the workβ. Maybe it is incredibly unpleasant to have Albanese abandon you to orchestrated pro-Israel lobbyists lol very hard to say.
From the river to the beach, Australia won't have free speech

The NACC's view here is even funnier when you consider it's about a bloke who secretly appointed himself to multiple roles and thought no-one would find out.
The architects of Robodebt are still sitting pretty.
The NACC has made two findings of corruption, but those who should shoulder the blame for one of the biggest scandals in Australian history remain unscathed.
Cold comfort to the thousands of people whose lives were destroyed.
Trying to get my head around the Anti-Corruption Commission's argument that a corruption hearing of a former prime minister is somehow not in the public interest
Jeremy's reaction is a good measure of how this failure will be received among the wider public, not only as it concerns the NACC, but what it suggests about the broader ability of Australian institutions to hold anyone of significant power or influence to account for anything in future.
Albanese's line that "We're sending defensive forces" to the war should ring everybody's bullshit radars. These "defensive" assets are part of a larger offensive. Take yourself back to school if you're buying it. Centrists can't even send us to war without pretending they're not.
The NACC continues to be a joke
βAustralia does not have a gas shortage problem. It has a gas export problem,β writes Louise Morris, Advocate at The Australia Institute.

It will be historically significant that the Albanese government decided to spend its enormous political capital not on addressing systemic inequality but on mindless fealty to the demands of the United States and Israel. That is how it'll be remembered.
The NACC held *35 days* of private hearings in its investigation into Robodebt corruption, but decided that these hearings didn't need to be public.
I, for one, would have liked to have watched the corruption hearing of Scott Morrison
Australia has always been a reliably supine lapdog to US foreign policy...with perhaps a brief lapse during Whitlam period. Whereas both Canada and NZ have always taken a more independent stance more in line with their own national interests. And haven't suffered for it.
I've had multiple people message tonight about some Zio proganda fest on the ABC and I gotta say I'm pretty ok with having no idea what the fuck they were talking about. Just cut the cord already, why would you ever listen to habitually news that lies about genocide and war?
Hey @albomp.bsky.social, donβt you love those shared values?
