BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Little fuckers only have the foundations down and are already telling us off.

Israel claimed responsibility for killing five Al Jazeera staff in Gaza, including Anas al-Sharif, in a strike on their media tent outside al-Shifa Hospital, bringing the total journalists killed to 237 since the war began.

Why Labor is stalling on real universities funding reform The education minister has deferred action to abolish the Morrison-era Job-ready Graduates scheme, which has helped to hollow out tertiary funding and saddled students with lifelong debts.

“The Arts degree … is the degree of choice, typically, for poor people, indigenous people, women.”

The Coalition's Job-ready program made Arts much more expensive and drove people away from tertiary education. So, why is Labor refusing to dump it? satpa.pe/wGpnGu7

Vaccination against measles stops kids getting sick and slowly but surely can eradicate the disease worldwide…

Focusing on “treating” measles allows it to run rampant and create multibillion dollar businesses that make money keeping your sick kids dependent on them.

As predicted by every trans person over a decade ago, the UK's gender critical shitshow doesn't work for anyone.

"If we're being held liable for all the stuff we stole to build our business, that will kill our business!"

GOOD. If I plagiarise the shit out of other people's books to build Frankenstein's bestseller, I deserve to be sued into the ground by every single one of them. You're no different, dipshits!

Trump Is Building a Maximalist Government In a series of actions this week, the president sought to expand the government’s reach.

The New York Times uses the word “maximalist” because it’s afraid to use the word “dictatorship.”

Really frustrating seeing journalists continue using “peace deal.” This is such an insult to Ukrainians. What “peace deal” implies is rewarding a terrorist state committing genocide and an illegal invasion by an aggressor.

The IHRA definition of antisemitism, in conjunction with hastily added laws, seeks to make opposition to genocide a hate crime. Dismantle this. Anywhere this definition holds power over an institution, genocidal ghouls are trying to silence dissent against their slaughter of Gaza

So the Nazi's are out and proudly marching through the Melbourne city streets and yet again the cops do nothing.

You have to ask if the cops are white supremist sympathisers?

An American nonprofit organisation that can afford to buy almost half a billion dollars’ worth of Australian farmland can afford to pay tax here.

Time to overhaul the tax laws so that religious organisations don't have an unfair advantage competing against tax-paying businesses.

Privatising Telstra was a colossal mistake, setting us back with lost revenue source & the ability to roll out a decent national broadband & telecomms network

As usual, Liberal politicians saw short term "balance" of the budget as some kind of economic mastery

It was, as always, pure bastadry

AFR article The Labor Party, many social welfare groups, unions and churches stridently opposed the GST during the 1998 election. “Anyone who lived through it will just say it was the biggest thing that’s ever happened in domestic policy,” Costello says. Among the other big economic reforms by Howard and Costello were formal independence for the Reserve Bank of Australia, reducing union influence on the waterfront and broader workplace flexibility, privatising Telstra, repairing the budget and eliminating net debt, and establishing the Future Fund – now worth about $250 billion.

This is just total Costello propaganda horseshit

A visual timeline titled "Prime Ministers of Australia Since Robert Menzies" featuring portraits of Australian Prime Ministers from 1949 to the present. Each portrait includes the leader's name and term dates. The sequence starts with Robert Menzies (1949–1968) and continues through to Anthony Albanese (2022-). Some date entries contain typographical errors, and Tony Abbott appears twice with different dates. The portraits of the prime ministers are also really bad, absolutely incorrect and totally fucked up e.g. Gough Whitlam looks like a Bob Hawke hybrid and Bob Hawke doesn’t even look like Bob Hawke. These images are a clear indication that AI hasn’t quite got it right just yet.
