I think it's pretty clear that a lot of things are more important to Labor than the Australian environment. It's pretty low on their priority list.

I would guess that Marr has no idea who Edward Said was or why his work is relevant.

A Palestinian advocacy group sponsoring someone to speak at an event about a post colonial theorist makes perfect sense. This is kind of the key detail that Marr kept overlooking.

This is why we really need to push back on the government's attacks on transparency and fight for a NACC with teeth. It's also why robodebt and recent changes to the NDIS are important for all citizens to understand, not just those affected.

the boys who landed at Normandy or fought in Stalingrad couldn't have imagined the horrors of 21st century war

So just the usual Nazi things that happen every month or so

To paraphrase from an Aunty who I've had the honour of working with on a CtG project - QLD and the NT are currently in a competition to see who can have the worst policies for First Nations communities.

If the best form of welfare is a job then I guess these people can just get fucked right

Oh no they really shouldn't be using AI for this. Ethical issues aside, most government agencies won't allow staff to use it and that also extends to the NGOs that they fund. Students need to be learning how to write up case notes and reports themselves. It's also kind of like shitty practice imo

Internalised ableism. Very common in the neurodivergent community unfortunately.

There's enough to insult them about them without needing to mention their neurotype. Like people can just be shitty people exploiting a shitty system. Essentialising that to a person's neurotype, gender, race, etc is very uncool behaviour.

I've always interpreted enshitifiction as being the manifestation of late stage neoliberal capitalism. Now I'm really reconsidering my engagement with his work because this is such a shitty take.

I actually don't think tax reform would do all that much at this point. I would like to see caps on the number of properties that people can own.

These policies benefit property owners not FHBs. I'm using the FHG scheme but it's going to end up making me pay more money to a property owner because of how it's pushing prices up. I actually would have been better off just paying LMI.

This is part of why Trump & RFK Jr.’s war on autism is so frustrating for #autistic people to watch: Things were getting better. Not there yet, but better. We had more awareness, less stigma, policies & research priorities moving in the right direction. These clowns are undoing DECADES of advocacy.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

They can't get rid of us cause we part of the human genome so suck shit ableists

Everyone just be going around in circles because they can't accept that autism is part of humanity.

Me coming home from my psychiatrist's office to talk to my dad;

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

The ideology of the shooter, if he even has one, is not confirmed and it's likely that it won't ever be. But it's pretty much irrelevant because everyone is using this incident to advance their political agenda

I feel sorry for any history teacher covering WW2 right now.

If this were to happen, the conspiracy theories would be a new level of unhinged

It's truly amazing just how much meaning has been projected onto this incident before it's clear if there even is any meaning behind it.

Very Frank Reynolds

Fight in fast food restaurant meme. People labelled as incels, nihilists, Groypers and MAGA are all fighting while a man labelled "the Left" is off to one side, uninvolved.

as soon as there's evidence the shooter's identity isn't easy to weaponize things magically become complicated

Can't let perfect be the enemy of 'good' etc etc

The extreme left out there with their mutual aid networks and non-violent collective action. Watch out for those black blockers who might yell at you about how capitalism sucks. Or those environmental groups with their dangerous placards about how we should stop our biosphere from collapsing.

He did so much bad stuff. But I think the changes to housing are potentially the worst in terms of impact. Our housing crisis has gotten so out of control that any attempts to fix it will inevitably end up making things worse for at least one group of people.
