Australians in Israeli detention allege beatings in reports to DFAT The ABC has obtained details of redacted summaries prepared by Australian diplomatic staff, including allegations that one Australian citizen was slapped and had his passport "destroyed".

Australians arrested for trying to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza allege beatings in 'dystopian' prison, DFAT reports show.

One says he was forced to take his clothes off and dance “like a monkey” in front of Israeli guards.

‘Full refund’: Senator slams Deloitte’s ‘human intelligence problem’ Deborah O’Neill says the government should demand a full refund from the firm over a $440,000 report that was revised due to multiple AI-related errors.

Greens senator Penny Allman-Payne: if the govt can't say the Targeted Compliance Framework is lawful, "they should stop it entirely & get this report done again properly."

Cancellations (ending a welfare claim) have been paused, but not Suspensions (withholding payments due to Mutual Obligations).

I regularly come across older people with disabilities who were held at ‘Mayday Hills’ previously known as the ‘Beechworth Lunacy Asylum’. The site is now used for ghost tours, even while some of the old Mayday Hills workers are still employed elsewhere as disability support workers

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

That second image goes hard

Cancellations of payments and reductions in payments as penalties have been paused since JULY

This is because the dept has a strong feeling (advice) that cancelling payments is not legal - just like they knew income averaging was illegal but continued anyway.

Boy's 'haunting' expression in watch house drives home concerns for commissioner Queensland's outgoing human rights commissioner says he has lost sleep worrying about some juveniles "spending weeks and weeks" in the state's watch houses.

"I visited a watch house where I saw a 17-year-old who had been detained for more than three weeks in the watch house without any access to sunlight, no access to their family, no schooling"

Screen shot of scitech website with their logo at top and text that reads: "More Information Through the support of Woodside, this program is provided for free* over the course of a Term to select schools, and is available for delivery to primary schools in the Perth metro region. Schools will need to provide a staff member to enthusiastically support the program. *A $500 refundable deposit is required for delivery of this program." Last line is struck out in red pen replaced with the text: "* Program provided at no charge in exchange for promoting climate criminal Woodside. Cost to students includes the loss of a liveable planet."

Scitech (WA Science Museum) is sponsored by a few fossil fuel companies. Including Woodside who provide "free" access to STEM club for kids.

Free = access to educational opportunities in exchange for promoting Woodside. The cost to students is the loss of a liveable planet.

Good deal kids?

wtf "Sci"tech?

Chris Hedges - Statement by the National Press Club (4 October 2025) The National Press Club wishes to respond to the article published by journalist Chris Hedges about his proposed address at the club. The club was approached by representatives of Mr Hedges to make an address, and tentatively agreed to a date given his stature and expertise on the matter of Gaza. The club is constantly reviewing its address schedule, and when more details of the address were made available we decided to pursue other speakers on the matter. Chris Sidoti and Ben Saul addressed the club this week on the case for Palestinian recognition (with Chris being of the view that recognition in of itself is not enough), and we have Unicef Global Spokesperson James Elder and Judge Navi Pillay covering the war who will be speaking in the coming weeks. It is important to state that the board and its CEO Maurice Reilly make decisions on speakers independently. There has been no pressure from anyone outside of the board, either directly or indirectly, regarding our speakers on the war in Gaza. The inference that our decision to not go ahead with an address from Mr Hedges was to appease sponsors etc or lobby groups is false, exemplified by the speakers we have had on the issue. The proposed address was never published on our website, so the claim from Mr Hedges that was removed is also false. The inference that Mr Hedges was being cancelled to make way for the Israeli ambassador is also false and without basis. We wish Chris Hedges well on his tour of Australia.

“Look at the corporate sponsors of the National Press Club in Canberra. NPC is sponsored by some of the world’s most voracious arms traders:

Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, Raytheon Australia, Thales.”

This is so factual & clearly-explained: how & why the thoughtful, evidence-based Australian approach to #trans & #nonbinary kids & teens works. It exposes the UK Cass report as very dog's breakfast-y indeed & outlines a much better way than the UK & US Govt adoption of anti-trans nastiness.

Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️
