Article published: 01 Oct 2023

"If you believe it's now safe to fly without a protective mask, you might want to think again. New research shows the COVID-19 virus has been found on nearly every flight tested."

Probably the only pandemic that first spread through rich countries before poor countries.
The existence of this report also underlines the utter insanity of the return to unrestricted air travel.

End all funding every single private employment services provider.

Salt the earth so those in change of them never get any public money ever again - run them out of the country.

Get rid of mutual obligations

Bring back the CES

Raise the fricken rate

Ain’t hard.

Floods have devalued Australian homes by $42bn. Experts say that’s the cost of ‘a changing climate’ Of the 2m flood-prone houses across the country, at least 70% have had values reduced, a new report by Climate Council and PropTrack has found

Flooding has already wiped $42B from the value of 🇦🇺 homes

Climate change isn’t a future cost. It’s here, harming our economy and our safety

We can’t keep ✅ fossil fuel projects at expense of communities & property values, and need to get serious about adaptation

So… self-reliant. Not Australia-reliant. They’re doing it… here… and it’s nothing to do with us. Just another colony to be exploited.

Job agency companies and bosses continue to make an extraordinary amount of money from a Mutual Obligations system we now know operates unlawfully

Here's the latest example of what they're doing with that public funding. Enjoy Sarina at the Louis Vuitton resort in St Tropez 👇

YouTube video by The Sunday Shot Chris Hedges talks with Dave about journalism, censorship and empire

David Milner had an interesting chat with Chris Hedges about the NPC cancellation and the Middle East. Partly shown on The Sunday Shot, full version here: youtu.be/LatGGT8hAIs?...

YouTube video by The Sunday Shot Chris Hedges talks with Dave about journalism, censorship and empire

I interviewed Pulitzer Prize winning war correspondent Chris Hedges for an hour about the Western media betrayal of Palestinian journalists, the National Press Club of Australia, fascism and a violent empire in decline.

It seems to me that the product of the “Clever Country” initiative aren’t very clever.

Once upon a time, Aus advertising revenue stayed in Aus. It’s no longer the case, and all who relied on such revenue are struggling.
Yes, it’s annoying. It doesn’t happen if you log in to the app. And the subscription is cheaper than buying newspapers used to be. The alternative is a paywall 🤷‍♀️

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

New:
Censorship by any other name.
The National Press Club cancelled a speaker, Chris Hedges, who planned to address the mass killing of journalists in Gaza. The mainstream press didn’t report it.

Single frame. Scale. On one side of scale, weighing heavily, a small gold weight marked “OCT 7 2023”. On the other side, much lighter, a huge bag (of sand?) marked “EVERY DAY SINCE.”

Scale.

To the NACC: can you tell us why there haven't been any public hearings into the Robodebt matter?

....

NACC says: No comment.

Brilliant!

And then they fought tooth-and-nail against her extradition from Israel to face charges.

I'm sorry but it's just plain hilarious that we're still expected to hate Hamas after spending two years being shown exactly what it is that Hamas has been fighting.

Sadly, they will bury your idiot president there amongst those fine folk.
I doubt it has crossed his tiny mind that he’ll be spending eternity with antifa.

I think there is supposed to be a full stop after the word ‘English’.

"Israel is intercepting the Gaza flotilla ships, carrying humanitarians and aid to a starving population, right now.

YouTube video by DiEM25 Yanis Varoufakis on Why the West’s Recognition of Palestine Is a Dangerous Lie

Here's Yanis Varoufakis on the West's hypocrisy and the main point of this piece. I wish we had politicians like this guy here.

The Yanks are cooked (and cooking the rest of us) - The Shot American authoritarianism is an echo of tyrants’ past and its own unique perversion: shrouded in goldleaf, ski masks, and utter bullshit.

Here's me. "The Yanks are cooked (and cooking the rest of us)"

1. The cult of tradition. 2. The rejection of modernism. – Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.” 3. The cult of action for action’s sake. – Thinking is a form of emasculation.” 4. Disagreement is treason. 5. Fear of difference. – The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. 6. Appeal to social frustration. 7. The obsession with a plot – At the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged.” 8. The enemy is both strong and weak – By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. 9. Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. 10. Contempt for the weak. 11. Everybody is educated to become a hero. – heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death.” 12. Machismo and weaponry. – both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality 13. Selective populism. – the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People. 14. Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak. – all the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning.

Recently @amyremeikis.bsky.social reminded my of Umberto Eco's 14 points of "eternal fascism" in which "it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it".

And well , there is a sh*it load of coagulation happening.

Just a reminder that no politician or bureaucrat has ever faced any charges for Robodebt

Recognition of Palestine is Not Enough, Sanctions Must Follow to Stop the Genocide.

Definitely.

I anticipate that an alternative version of the current Tik Tok will appear the day ownership transfers. Maybe with an “import Tik Tok profile” feature.

Yes, benefits them. But they seem to be forgetting that setting precedents can come back to bite you when the other side are in power.

ABC’s John Lyons has slammed Israel for wiping out an average of 28 children in Gaza “Every Day. Week in, week out, month in, month out”

Lyons “There are on avg. a classroom of Palestinian children in Gaza today, who this time tomorrow will be killed by an Israeli bomb”😳 #Abc

Hang on…

The Albanese Labor Govt is saying that elderly Australians have to pay more for basic at home care - as spending needs to be reigned in.

But - they give over $200b of our public money to the US & UK for submarines we’ll never see.

What a betrayal #auspol
