Governments are hiding data and threatening democracy From being custodians of public knowledge, governments are turning to architects of manufactured ignorance. Amid disappearing evidence, citizens are struggling to hold power to account.

Governments are deleting data, slowing FOI access, and reshaping statistics. As evidence disappears, accountability collapses โ€“ and democracy weakens. #Transparency #Democracy #FOI #PressFreedom #DataIntegrity #auspol

I can't help but think that this whole Anika Wells "travel rorts" outrage, which is almost laughable coming from the super-rorting coalition, is just a distraction from Barnaby's latest alcohol-induced stunt, defecting to One Nation.

Even more US military assets coming to Australia. More US bases. More US weapons. Celebrating a dominant foreign government sending its military into our harbours and cities and taking multiple footholds here โ€ฆ itโ€™s cringeworthy, tragic and wrong.

Why Australia is facing โ€˜dependentโ€™ status over AUKUS deal The Pentagonโ€™s review has affirmed the timeline for the ambitious nuclear-submarine endeavour, but another key US defence document is soon expected to refer to Australia as a โ€˜dependentโ€™ rather than a...

Fresh insight into why Labor is refusing to release the AUKUS review.

So it appears that NDIS recipients are no longer allowed to appeal to the Administrative Review Tribunal (formerly the AAT) when funding is reduced. And funding will be calculated by a computer, not by case officers. This could be Labor's Robodebt moment.

โ€œthe overall effect, transparency advocates warn, is to create a parallel system of policy development that is largely invisible to parliament, the public and the mediaโ€.

With a sneaky tweak, the government has made welfare recipients guilty until proven innocent The governmentโ€™s laws cancelling social security payments for some accused of crimes turn a safety net into a weapon for punishing people.

Are we now just the 51st state of the USA?

โ€˜New changes to social security law mean a personโ€™s income support can now be cancelled because they are subject to an outstanding arrest warrant for a serious offence.

These are people merely accused of crimes, not found guilty of themโ€™.

Multiple sources confirm the Albanese government has pushed lobbyists and industry groups to use encrypted messages and verbal briefings when proposing policy ideas, to avoid FOI and disclosure requirements. Read more: satpa.pe/h3OmIrz

Just so we are clear. Many of us rightly believed that Scott Morrison was the most antidemocratic PM Australia has ever seen.

Albanese is worse. Much worse.

Heโ€™s not as idiotic or vile as Morrison but his fascist tendencies are more honed

Most NDIS participants will lose external avenue to appeal funding amounts under new system, Senate estimates told Administrative review tribunal no longer authorised to alter a personโ€™s plan or reinstate funding, agency confirmed * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Participants in the National Disability Insurance Scheme will in most cases no longer be able to appeal their total amount of funding support to any external review body, executives have confirmed, after revelations about automation to be introduced to the organisation. The minister for disability and the NDIS, Jenny McAllister, and National Disability Insurance Agency bosses were peppered with questions at Senate estimates on Thursday about changes to the way NDIS support plans will be generated under a new planning model coming into effect from mid-2026.

I have seen, first hand, the extraordinary way Israel communicated propaganda with 2nd Gen Aussies with Jewish parents as long ago as 45 years.
I saw these liberal Jews radicalised from when their children went to a certain school and they became very orthodox over a short couple of years.

Fuel security warning as Australia's oil reserves fall short of global standards With just two refineries left and 80 per cent of liquid fuel being imported, experts are warning Australia is increasingly vulnerable to global supply shocks.

An entire article on fuel security in Australia that just cannot bring itself to mention

- Regulating oversized urban tanks or even discouraging their purchase
- Just....not driving and using active / public transport?
- Fixing EV incentives, getting rid of loopholes and retiring ICE cars early
