Parliament ditches X, formerly Twitter, over deepfakes Free Speech Union writes to the Speaker as Clerk of House says he doesn’t want his organisation associated with controversial platform.

Clerk of the House David Wilson tells me it was him who decided to stop Parliament posting on Twitter.

He says Grok's abuse imagery and the lack of a serious response from the platform were the reason.

As someone who worked on The Matrix and saw first hand the insane amount of laborious, meticulous effort that went into to creating bullet time for like two shots, it will never stop being funny that it’s just a button now.

Just for a moment forget about politics of China and USA. We know China's massive energy demands relied heavily on burning imported coal. Can't think of another industrialised country that burned a metric sh!t ton of coal for 100 years.
Anyway, China is now burning less, oh yes, and USA burning more

Man who allegedly threw homemade bomb in Invasion Day rally crowd named The man accused of throwing a bomb at Invasion Day protesters in an alleged terrorism act attack in Perth can be named as Liam Alexander Hall.

Liam Alexander Hall is the Perth bomber. This attack is a consequence of the anti-Aboriginal racism incited by The Voice process, which the ALP never confronted, and the racist anti-Voice campaign by Advance Australia and Atlas Network. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

WOW 🤯

The number of times a State of Emergency has been declared this year in New Zealand ALREADY matches the 2025 total.

It’s February.

This is what the Climate Crisis looks like.

Why would New Zealand disestablish the Ministry of Environment? Plus: Why James Shaw was right

The world subsidises fossil fuels (oil and gas) to the tune of US$7 trillion dollars (NZD $11.6 trillion) a year

On the flipside, some part of Oz are investing in renewables and seeing electricity prices tumble by 30% in a year #nzpol #climate #kiwi
