Strengthen public education to boost social cohesion

"Public schooling built on the principles of free, secular and non-discriminatory education serves to break down class, ethnic and religious differences. As the prime minister emphasised, public schools are open to everyone." satpa.pe/afMzprz

Liberal Leader Ashton Hurn stood by this extremist, bigoted candidate. He is no longer running. However, it’s not clear why (considering he had the leader’s full support).

If you’ve never watched COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT (1970) I suggest you do. Especially as Govts seem to want to embrace Ai.

Epstein's longtime accountant testifies he was 'not aware' of sex offender's crimes Richard Kahn testified to the House Oversight Committee that he did not know about Epstein's crimes. He said monetary gifts that Epstein made did not raise any red flags.

How is this possible?

“While Epstein was alive, I never observed any sexual abuse or trafficking of women and never received a complaint—either by one of Epstein's victims or anyone else—of such abuse or trafficking," Kahn said, according to a copy of his prepared opening statement.

Watch Ghislaine Maxwell: Filthy Rich | Netflix Official Site Stories from survivors frame this documentary detailing the sex-trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, a socialite and accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein.

Ghislaine Maxwell needs to rot in prison and she’s lucky to have been upgraded.

The entitled monster should be in a cave for the horror she and Epstein inflicted on these girls. Check it out if you haven’t.

Wednesday’s release of a 445-page report from the National Anti-Corruption Commission examined the actions of five former public servants and the former prime minister Scott Morrison. The report found two senior public officials to have engaged in corrupt conduct, but they will not be referred for charges. Continue reading...

But is the PM up to the task? * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast As uncertainty hits everywhere, the Australian housing market continues its usual path upwards. Less than two months ago, I let rip at the IMF for titling its latest World Economic Outlook as “Global Economy: Steady amid Divergent Forces” despite the fact a clueless fool sits in the White House ready to unleash chaos should his blood sugar levels fall too low.

More airlines hike flight prices as Iran war continues to disrupt oil supply Cathay Pacific, AirAsia and Thai Airways join Qantas in increasing prices, as travellers flock to airlines that don’t have Middle East stopovers Cathay Pacific, AirAsia and Thai Airways are among a growing number of airlines hiking air fares as conflict in the Middle East boosts oil prices and sends travellers flocking to alternative stopover destinations in Asia. The US and Israel’s war on Iran has sent the price of oil soaring while restricting access to refineries, with experts predicting air fares could be elevated for months even if the conflict ends.

US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

There is more evidence of
Donald Trump
being a pedophile revealed in the last year, than there is evidence of Iran having nuclear weapons capabilities within the past 30 years.
Think about that.
Take all the time you need.

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.

The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.

This is learned today:

Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

How US bases make Australia part of the Iran war Australia’s role in supporting the US-Israel war against Iran with the hosting of a string of US military bases across the country is a critical contribution to the US war machine.

Peter Cronau: “The capabilities of the spy satellites Pine Gap uses are astounding.

This is used in the missile and drone targeting of individuals and likely has been used in assassinations of individual political figures and Iranian military leaders.”
