Gambling regulator's alleged 'cosy relationship' with $50b betting industry Four Corners has uncovered allegations of conflicts of interest and pro-industry bias at the country's part-time regulator responsible for Australia's biggest betting companies.

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...
What a national disgrace. The regulation of the betting companies, mostly foreign, who inflict such damage is left to the tiniest jurisdiction, the NT, population 260,000, a local government not a State, when the Federal Govt has full power to regulate corporations.

As the grotesque slaughter and dismemberment in Gaza grinds on with invaders (bizarrely called’settlers’) seizing more of West Bank, Trump just had a great and novel
idea! A British mandate over Palestine led by Tony Blair, an architect of the disastrous Iraq war!!!! Balfour laughing hysterically.

Well we shall see as NSW Labor govt is not acting out of principle despite its election promise because the legislation is conditional on feds granting carbon credits for the forests. ie, unless there’s money in it, the iconic Koala, can potter off to extinction in the wild, as already predicted.

Again the grotesque mediaeval slaughter by Israel with American backing leaves major Jewish organisations in Australia silent. How can they condone this horror which daily alienates the Australian community.

To speak of an agreement to end a war in which 1.5mill people have been killed or maimed and cities and villages have been obliterated, as a β€˜deal’, is grotesque. The main stream media should stop using this obscene real estate language about ending an horrendous illegal invasion.

If well over 100000 marching on Harbour Bridge won’t drive our politicians to strident condemnation of Israel’s slaughter and dismembering then this report of Dr Mo Mustafa surely will. The bombing by Israel and the US must stop.

'They are using their power to destroy us': Elder’s urgent appeal to PM Warlpiri elder Ned Jampijinpa Hargraves joins growing calls for federal intervention into law and justice policies in the Northern Territory.

The NT population 260,000, is smaller than Greater Geelong and not much bigger than Wollongong. NT local govt should not determine their own β€˜justice’ laws. Federal Govt in s111 of Constitution has ultimate power over Territories and should ensure indigenous justice.
