Crocodile tears. Albanese’s mother would probably have been homeless and considerably poorer if it was now under his PMship.
Hanson and albanese are both wealthy crocodiles staging a tiff for kayfabe’s sake.
The fascist and the neoliberal both want no public housing and people on Centrelink to be in poverty
Being located nearby doesn’t mean much so long as the IT side is set up securely.
My experience is Unis now take this seriously and have compulsory induction courses for staff on foreign interference. I’ve had to do them.
It also seems a bit hypocritical considering defence signals directorate and other Australian intelligence agencies are so inappropriately influenced by their US equivalents. The needs of Australians seem to come a very distant second in their priorities compared to what US govt and business want. Im guessing it’s because orgs like ASIO and DSD have gotten too lazy to develop their own sources, and have come to rely mostly on secondhand US intelligence. Their worldview is shaped by whatever heavily curated intelligence the US chooses to feed them. This in turn flows through to the advice they give to the Foreign minister… I could be wrong, but it would seem to explain a lot of the decisions she makes.
Preserve Koala habitat that may be annually burnt out by the effects of global heating, driven in part by the extra carbon burned because of the deal for not chopping it down. Its a shit deal either way. I don’t envy anyone making this decision between such poor (and artificially contrived ) outcomes.
“No true scotsman capitalist economy.”
Im starting to wonder if data centres are a pretext to grab and hold licenses to as much fresh water as possible. Awaiting the announcement of their pivot to water speculating
“Suggest” and “could be used” are weasel words already. When they’re spoken by researchers with no say in how the budget is spent, i cant help feeling sceptical.
More likely it gets lost into general revenue with only some big media buys and ad campaigns to show for it; (with message variations of “Govt good😀, Sugar bad☹️” )
The photos are deceptive - taken with long exposure. The bioluminescence is actually very faint. You need a dark night with no clouds to see them glow. I’ve seen them closer to Adelaide - in Marc Oliphant Conservation Park, Kuitpo forest and Belair National Park. If anyone is interested I can share exact locations.
The gambling lobbyists voted down most of the ideas in their breakfast meeting with our PM.
Solid suggestions but missed “lock food in the car or esky” At Mambray creek from our deckchairs, we watched a 1.5m water monitor ransack the campsite opposite us over half an hour. Ate scraps out of their firepit, Managed to get its front half into their food bag hanging on the camp kitchen with its tail whipping around in circles. It even licked a couple of their mugs on the table. The grandad came back and i told him to wash his cups because a goanna had been licking them. He just simpered and avoided my eyes as if i was crazy.
Someone should pitch the reality show “Farmer wants a Slave”.
So this these “initiatives funded by the tax”, this will be dental in medicare?….right?
In sure this approach worked well for them before the consequences of climate change started appearing.
Talking like this on the cusp of this mega El Nino summer is either politically very brave or very foolish.
”Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people’s ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise.”
