Narau is up there when it comes to governments paying for private profit driven fascists rather than acknowledge that we should welcome the people we've historically exploited and displaced

Once again the msm media and government wants to focus on the few young people who do terrible things, while ignoring the fact that domestic violence and family violence perpetrated by
white men is the main cause of murder, violence and intimidation

I was born 16 years after Hillary, but still remember being a young person, before the internet and thinking that creating an artificial state was wrong..invading another's persons land to assuage Christian guilt,when the Palestinians had nothing to do with it

Have your say in the possibilities created by demolishing a huge stadium. That hosted concerts, from ELO, icehouse. Cricket one day internationals. The West Indies!

And another win for the sports betting behemoth. It's not about fitness, fun, or competitiveness. It's about gaming profits. Adelaide demolished a multi million purpose built stadium in 1974 in 2018.

I've lived long enough to watch immigrants from various countries being demonised. And what do you know? They settle in, contribute to society, and then the next scare begins.But these false narratives have gone from the fringes to the highest office in the land.Using the same old discredited tropes

Anyone with access to the internet can search the sorry and bloody history on the creation of modern Israel. And the horrors inflicted on the Palestinian civilians ever since.

Unless there is a whole rewriting of Western history, discrediting the printing press, providing education to all, and giving working people some rights. So thank goodness for Tom

Government reveals its AI plan, but is it enough? - ABC listen The Australian government's new artificial intelligence plan has met with a mixed reception.

Just listened to this
and I'm not sure having only AI enthusiasts discussing this is balance. And greenwashing the energy and water use of data centres. We have plenty of overseas examples to know how tech bros can run rough shod over communities when it comes to making profits

Israeli group B’Tselem notes that, since a supposed β€œceasefire” in Gaza, Israel has:

* killed 345 Palestinians,

* denied food to 70% of the population who need it,

* demolished a further 1,500 buildings.

All of this is in blatant violation of the agreement.
