This is really bad!
First - it seems some kind of monitoring and/or database is being kept on community independent volunteers - and then there's the refusal to serve a constituent based on their political views.
This is REALLY bad!!! #auspol

It’s looks like we are falling into the trap of outsourcing all innovation to the private sector. Blue sky research can’t be seen this way its profile doesn’t fit with normal business practices. We are definitely putting our countries future security and prosperity at risk here

Wow the Liberal Party is so broken at so many levels. They don’t have the right people to fix it either.

Anti-corruption commission watchdog inquiring into NACC chief Brereton The inspector of the National Anti-Corruption Commission is inquiring into the agency's head, Paul Brereton, in relation to several complaints including from a former employee.

How much longer is this farce of a sideshow going to continue?

NACC Commissioner, Paul Brereton, is once again embroiled in controversy.

The NACC Inspector, Gail Furness is currently investigating several complaints against Mr Brereton.

His position is untenable.

It boggles me how people bang on about government efficiency and never mention transparency at all.

It needs to be to be fundamental to public service way of working

It you don’t want scrutiny you don’t care about improving things

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Journo: When are you realising your costings, the election is in three days?

Angus Taylor: Tomorrow, probably. But I can assure you it'll be a stronger economy than Labor's. Growth. Economic management. Inflation. Blah blah.

Audience: I am a gormless Muppet and that's good enough for me.

A book cover with red and white mind-bending blocks where people try to scramble up ladders that go nowhere. It feels like an optical-illusion. The book is called Mean Streak: A moral vacuum and a multi-billion dollar government shakedown by Rick Morton.

essential reading for all citizens, everywhere
SJ • 3 weeks ago
this is the only comprehensive & coherent dissection of the the most egregious public service corruption that has ever happened in australia
any lingering confusion I had about the mechanics of robodebt has been put to bed. the author's intricate yet demystifying explanations demonstrate exactly how the public service & government pulled it off; every detail from the outset laid bare.
this book should be mandatory reading for all public servants & prescribed text for any tertiary study even remotely linked to public policy. the author's narration is magnificent: clear, easy on the ears, perfect inflection throughout. this is book of the year, the decade. it's right up top with some of my lifetime favourites.

This all-consuming book has been out for a month, as of yesterday, and is off to be reprinted. I have been too scared to ask for numbers, but I know people are buying and reading it. Thank you. The best feedback is a review like this one because it was my exact hope for this thing. Don't stop now!

It been entrenched in one way post WWII. The fact people are so quick to change I think outlines the danger Orwell was trying to convey of a society that is highly controlled where you can throw out conventions on a whim

I think they stuff about the population accepts a complete change in the status quo of who they were at war with is very relevant to the USA flipping in favour of the Kremlin

I don’t think we actually teach the full picture. For example I think most people know the basics of WWII but would get completely lost explaining the many steps that lead to the final solution

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.
