The fact is that the NACC is NOT fit for putpose.
All six officials should have been charged, rather than hand off blame to a dead woman.

Israel just bombed the Lebanese National Public University in Beirut.
They murdered the Director of the Faculty of Science, Dr. Hussein Bazzi, and Dr. Murtada Srour.
They are not just killing people — they are erasing knowledge and attacking the future of Lebanon.
Just as in Gaza 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
The hypocrisy is so dangerous. While signing us up for an illegal war & claiming it champions human rights of the Iranian people, the Albanese Gov is ramming thru new laws to ban people from #Iran with valid visas from entering Australia.

Merriam-Webster Merriam-Webster V @MerriamWebster Ok. We promise this isn't rage-bait but... The word 'irregardless' has been used since 1795. This is just a fact. -→>
Merriam-Webster Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster Its inclusion in the dictionary is not -a sign of the English language falling to pieces -proof of the educational system failing We include 'irregardless' because it has been - used by a large number of people - for a long time - with a specific and identifiable meaning
Merriam-Webster Merriam-Webster • @MerriamWebster The fact that the word is generally viewed as nonstandard, or as illustrative of poor education, is not important. Dictionaries define the breadth of the language, and not simply the elegant parts at the top. Irregardless, we're sorry and/or you're welcome.
Merriam-Webster chose violence today
Destruction in Beirut caused by Israeli airstrikes.

If you don't get through to these lines, there's no other way to overturn payment suspensions from your job provider

Bernie Sanders just said the quiet part out loud:
"A lot of US Middle East policy is dictated by Israel. It was Israel who decided they wanted to go to war."
He exposes how Netanyahu has manipulated America into wars for 40 years, from Iraq to Iran.

Labor has wasted $53 billion on tax concessions for wealthy property investors since 2022. A further $190 billion will be wasted if Labor fails to wind back the capital gains tax discount & negative gearing. This foregone revenue should have built public & affordable housing.
The President of the United States casually talking about destroying a country “in an hour” should chill every democracy on Earth.
This is exactly why leadership requires restraint, diplomacy, and respect for human life.👇
👉 NEW -- They attack, we defend: How the media toes the line on Iran

Unlike Russia’s war on Ukraine, British journalists rarely highlight the illegality of the US-Israeli attack on Iran

A cat, Zuko, who is dark grey, squishes into the very small space of a box of Lego that is free from bits and the rest of the build is next to him
A grey cat, Zuko, sits in the box that holds the frame of the Lego build his mother has been building, despite his own box being directly to the right and in front of the heater
Scrolling through this hell-scape has been a bit draining so please enjoy some images of my boy. He has been desperate to sit in the box he was told that he can not sit in
It’s a Lego build and despite having a spare box to sit in, he chooses the forbidden one

📢 The Australian government is still considering how it will respond to the IEA's request to release emergency oil reserves as part of a 400 million barrel global action. However, it's already moved to ease fuel quality standards to boost domestic supply. Dirtier uel will be allowed into the market…
And Israeli Knesset member Tzvi Succot said today: "We must conquer southern Lebanon, destroy all the villages, and annex the territory to the State of Israel as a security zone."
Increasingly clear that the future of the species hinges on the American/Israeli empire collapsing before the climate does
BREAKING NEWS: Oil tanker on fire after being attacked in the Persian Gulf.
Wow, Gulf shippers are in a real bind here. On one hand, Donald says everything's fine and Gulf shippers should sail on thru. On the other hand: massive boat-melting fireballs. Both sides make good points!
1.3 Scott Morrison The Commission has made findings with respect to the conduct of Mr Scott Morrison. Those findings are that Mr Morrison failed to meet his ministerial responsibility to ensure that Cabinet was properly informed about what the PAYG proposal actually entailed and to ensure that it was lawful. The information and evidence that forms the basis for these findings are described in full in the parts of the Commission’s report. That material, in the opinion of the Commission, may give rise to a ‘corruption issue’ in the sense contemplated by s 9 of the NACC Act and accordingly relates to the functions of the National Anti-Corruption Commissioner (defined in s 17 of the NACC Act). In the circumstances, the Commission has decided to communicate and furnish that information and evidence to the National Anti-Corruption Commissioner in the sense contemplated by s 6P of the Royal Commissions Act 1902 (Cth). The language used to describe the DHS proposal in the Executive Minute: • contemplated the use of income averaging as the basis for determining social security entitlement. • recognised that the use of income averaging in that way: o was inconsistent with social security policy o required legislative change to implement it o was likely to produce an incorrect assessment of actual fortnightly income. • recognised that the use of income averaging as the basis for determining social security entitlement was a change to the way income was assessed and debts were calculated. • linked the use of income averaging with the move to an online intervention process which enabled DHS to undertake the projected number of compliance interventions (866,857) and corresponding savings to be achieved (approximately $1 billion). Mr Morrison: • understood the matters set out above, and • knew that it was his responsibility to lawfully administer the Social Security Act 1991 (Cth) and the Social Security (Administration) Act 1999 (Cth) (SSA Act) under the AAO.
After the NACC cleared Morrison et al of corruption because "hey, a politician wouldn't lie!" and "he's too stupid to read" - it's worth reading why Royal Commission concluded that their conduct is a corruption issue worthy of referral

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.
