Disgusting comments from the Deputy Premier just days after kids died from tainted pills.

Victoria, NSW and ACT are all exploring pill testing because it’s a proven and safe harm minimisation programme that saves hundreds of young people’s lives.

this is the list of ideological identifiers laid out in the NSPM-7 that would predict violence, and are all of course, incredibly reasonable positions or just ridiculous framing, like “extremism on gender” which is just being pro-trans:

Housing affordability to get worse as big corporates do annual tax magic Renting a place to live is getting more expensive and house price rises are tipped to accelerate.

Shame and harm at every JobSeeker turn – and now added AI slop The system is so convoluted and stacked against people that even if it worked as intended, it would still be not just harmful, but useless.

Australia's deliberately punitive unemployment "relief" system must end.

If I was doing the shit Albanese's government is doing under the banner of a "workers party" I'd be keeping it a big fucken secret too.

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

Watt nears deal with Coalition to finally overhaul environment laws Environment Minister Murray Watt will sit down with his Liberal counterpart Angie Bell today, with quiet optimism in both parties that a deal might soon be struck to finally rewrite Australia's "broke...

Just so we’re clear: Labor is choosing to work with the worst possible party on environmental issues, instead of the Greens and teals who actually want environmental regulation.
And Watt is already admitting it won’t have a climate trigger …

Censorship by any other name.
The National Press Club cancelled a speaker, Chris Hedges, who planned to address the mass killing of journalists in Gaza. The mainstream press didn’t report it.

Global CO2 emissions plateau Global CO2 emissions from the power sector fell marginally by 12 MtCO2 (-0.2%) to 6,963 MtCO2 in the first half of 2025. The decline was possible because solar and wind power exceeded demand growth and led to a slight fall in fossil fuel use. Without solar and wind growth, emissions would have risen by an estimated 236 MtCO2 (+3.9%) globally, which is equivalent to almost all emissions (251 MtCO2) from Africa in H1-2025. At the country level, there was significant variation. Among the four economies that account for the majority of global emissions (64%), emissions fell in China (-46 MtCO2, -1.7%) and India (-24 MtCO2, -3.6%), as clean electricity outpaced growth in demand in those countries. In contrast, emissions rose in the EU (+13 MtCO2, +4.8%), where strong growth in solar was outweighed by shortfalls in wind, hydro and bioenergy, leading to higher gas and coal generation. Emissions also rose in the US (+33 MtCO2, +4.3%), as clean electricity growth was smaller than demand growth, leading to an increase in coal generation, which was exacerbated by gas-to-coal switching.

A complete flip of the usual pattern we see in these updates - China's and India's emissions fell, and EU and US emissions increased.....

Statement on Cancellation of Chris Hedges’ confirmed appearance at the National Press Club of Australia  — Australian Friends of Palestine Association AFOPA is responding to the Statement published on 4 October 2025 by the National Press Club of Australia ( NPC) in relation to their cancellation of Chris Hedges’ confirmed appearance at the National ...

Seems v much like the NPC was not truthful about its cancellation of Hedges' scheduled appearance on OCT 20.

'Statement on Cancellation of Chris Hedges’ confirmed appearance at the National Press Club of Australia'

To the surprise of no-one, the National Press Club wasn't expecting anyone to actually investigate.

Spoke to Madeleine Habib, Tassie captain of the Conscience in the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. They’re aiming to break Israel’s siege of Gaza & deliver aid. Aus Gov could learn a lot from these brave people. Their int’l law responsibility doesn’t stop with recognising Palestine.

The solution to homelessness is not forced institutionalizations.

It’s social supports. Healthcare. Housing. Education. Harm reduction. A universal basic income.

Anyone can become homeless at any time. It’s not a personal failing.

We must fix it together.

I am not afraid of the Information.

I also consider the public had AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT to know that welfare payments are not being cancelled for anyone at the exact time that decision was taken in July, not fucking THREE MONTHS later because it hurts your feelings to admit it.

This is going to be a very large number of people owed lots and lots of money by Centrelink. You can tell by how carefully and conservatively the DAMAGING INFORMATION is being managed, by friends and foes alike.

It is almost time to let the light pour in.

Here is what happened to me. Not only is it many, many more than 964 people, it is almost certainly more than 964 people during the period specified by DEWR.

We are—rapidly—running out of non-Royal Commission shaped options to examine these legal issues.

bsky.app/profile/maxi...

People impacted Since 4 July 2024, people who are receiving social security participation payments have not had their payments cancelled for persistently failing to meet their mutual obligation requirements. The department has identified 964 people who had their social security participation payment cancelled 985 times between 8 April 2022 and 4 July 2024 who may have been impacted by past cancellation decisions.

What we’re doing The department has reviewed each decision which cancelled a person’s social security participation payments due to persistent mutual obligation failures between 8 April 2022 and 4 July 2024. Compensation has been paid under the Compensation for Detriment Caused by Defective Administration (CDDA) Scheme to people who were found to suffer a detriment on initial review. As of 2 October, over $870,000 has been repaid to more than 600 individuals. The department has contacted the remaining affected individuals so they can provide further information to support consideration for compensation. The department has considered additional information provided to date and made decisions under the CDDA Scheme. The department will continue to review this additional information and make further compensation decisions as appropriate.

There is more interesting information to tell us at this time.

DEWR identified 964 people unlawfully cancelled under 42AF between April 2022 and July 2024, repaying some $870,000 to that group so far.

I am pursuing a 42AF cancellation from January 2021.
