Overstated generosity of Australia’s biggest companies exposed in new report A new report into 20 of the country’s biggest corporations has found examples of them overstating how generous their reported contributions to the community were.

Australian companies like Westpac and Woolworths exaggerating how much they give to charity…who’d have thought! Great work @browne90.bsky.social

"All these workers have ever tried to do is discuss their pay and conditions to improve them, so they can make a game loved by millions."

Heads up - usually after I put out this call I've had 200 emails already. This time, so far, it's just a handful!

While the grown ups at Kotaku are all off distracted thanking turkeys or whatever it is they do, I wanna promote as many unknown indies as I can!

"You'll be visited by three spirits."

The three spirits:

In that case, why the name?

I wonder how it would go down if i made a Dutch tulip, porn, and weed game? 🤔

You're more generous than I. Rami knows heaps of Aussies.

What sheep know about the benefits of wind turbines that Australia's National Party doesn't

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Good to see the IGDA still gets flipped 😀

Also, cool!

I took a job one day a week in education admin for an escape from the kids. Then fell in love with game dev brains just as the GFC destroyed the local industry. I rebooted IGDA Melbourne so devs could commiserate together and hatch new plans.

Save the CSIRO

Our national science & research agency is now facing more job cuts than under Tony Abbott

Call on the Albanese Govt to fund the scientists & research we need to tackle big issues we face from climate to food security and everything in between

I really do think that it’s outrageous that people who had their hard work stolen are only being offered $1500 as compensation

A government that can’t bring itself to tax fossil fuel, big tech or any wealth properly but defunds its critical institutions is not a good government, sorry

That was about my most traumatic high school proscribed text, and I also had 1984, Brave New World, and Death of Grass.

Although DoG is possibly the scariest.

CSIRO 350 job cuts a damning indictment on Government priorities, misses 'golden opportunity' on research The announcement this week that CSIRO are to cut 350 research jobs is another damning indictment on Australia’s ongoing failure to prioritise research and development.

Oh, which part? I spent a year on Rose Rd.

MG just slashed MG4 EV prices again — the Excite 51 is now $37,990 drive-away and comes with 1000kWh of Evie charging.
It’s basically: “buy an EV, get a year of road trips for free.”
Competition from BYD & Ora is heating up… and MG’s response is: “Fine. Here’s a discount AND electricity.”

Wombat architecture critics. Two wombats see a cube-shaped house and one comments: Well that looks like shit.

For the Aussies, the zoologists and the architects out there.
