I’m trying to recall Secretary Greg Moriarty’s finest hour. Was it signing the $45B (up from $35B) contract for 9 Hunter Class frigates (downgraded to 6 frigates for the same $45B) OR his judgement in hiring #RoboDebt’s Kathryn Campbell for $900K p/a👇? #auspol

How is he this stupid?
Trump standing up in German-speaking Switzerland* telling the Swiss that if it wasn't for the Americans, they'd be "speaking German by now".
(*yes the Swiss speak Swiss-German, but standard German is their national language. In fact most Swiss speak at least 3 languages)
No, democracy dies in whatever the fuck this is – because it sure ain't journalism.
What happened, cowards? Who shot who?
Remember this?

Electricity generated by coal plants fell by 1.6% in China & by 3% in India last year. It doesn't seem like a lot but it's significant as the first time since 1973 there was a simultaneous fall from the world’s biggest coal-consuming countries. #auspol www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The idea Labor should reward any former Coalition politician is an idea that belongs in the #Newscorpse echo chamber.

An actual decent FOI law change (rather than the friendless bill before the parliament now) would be to actually have some sort of penalty for documents of government that should be retained for FOI purposes but aren't (such as disappearing messages in certain apps)

Hi @bsky.app
If you want this to be a global platform, how about trending topics reflecting the other 96% of the world's population?
The domination of this site by American news and American topics is one of its greatest drawbacks

Holy shit! Trump has no decency or compassion.
A reporter asked if he planned to attend the funeral of Sarah Beckstrom, the National Guard member who just died.
Instead of offering condolences, he said he would “consider it” and pivoted to bragging about his margin of victory in West Virginia.
The WH steals people’s property constantly and never asks permission. Another example of Trump acting like a king.

I see David Speers could barely contain his glee at the thought of Mel Gibson or Jon Voight or Sylvestor Stallone being appointed US Ambassador to Australia.

Jacinta Allan urged to copy Queensland and get ‘tough on crime’ as Victoria battles crisis 12 October 2025 - 10:53AM Sky News host Rita Panahi has blasted Victoria which is in the midst of a “record-breaking crime wave” as ordinary citizens become “increasingly terrified”. Ms Panahi looked at some “stunning” statistics from Queensland, which show the Crisafulli’s tough on crime policies are working. “Queensland has shown that there is another way,” Ms Panahi said. “Instead of harebrained schemes like machete bins or raising the age of criminal responsibility, Queensland has got tough on crime and criminals, and the results speak for themselves.”
Qld's pie chomping premier David Crisafulli changed the crime reporting metric. He promised to resign if there weren't fewer victims (later changed to per capita). Not accurate, criminologists say & at least a full year of ABS stats needed; due Sept 2026. #qldpol🔗 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.
About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages
