Thank goodness.
Unfortunately, the big AI companies are going to force the government to pay for them through all the censorship and ID systems.

Thx

We definitely need a new #economic paradigm focusing on long term #sustainability

Thanks a lot. It's a bit late for me right now, but I'll have a look on Sunday. In the meantime I recommend one of my project websites: www.easy-town.vision

PS: The quote is from a fictional story. A nice clash.

To Australians concerned about the under-16 social media ban, especially after seeing the effects of the UK's Online Safety, I emailed Electronic Frontiers Australia and they suggested contacting your local MP, senator, or to the minister behind it, Anika Wells.

Is this what's going to happen when Australia starts requiring a social media ban for under 16's on the 10th of December 2025?

I assume Australia will be blocked as well? Their social media ban has the same effect and was passed with identical intentions as Mississippi's law.

Night vision sights are already legal, ballistic vests are not needed for "hunting" or daily use, and silencers are not needed to hunt with and can be used by professionals with a licence.
What a BS bill.

Emissions down as Labor looks to hedge its climate bets The Albanese government has hinted it will use a range to set Australia’s 2035 emissions reduction target, rather than a single number.

How about "Emissions down as Labor looks to step up and go further, faster" @albomp.bsky.social ? Now's the time to ramp up efforts to kick start Aust's leadership in the global #decarbonising economy! #auspol @climatecapitalforum

Economists never calculate the feeling ppl get of safety & stability when they have a safe forever home.

But realistically it is more an attack on universities. Liberals are the ones who promote landlording for profit while Labor builds new housing.

#HANDSOFF #NYC

Cops thanked us for how peaceful the events were and how volunteers helped direct protestors and car traffic smoothly. I am hearing the same for NYC: very peaceful and low police presence. This was a peaceful day of Americans exercising our rights.

Remember that.

Looks good. I'm not sure what ingredients could possibly survive a fire though. Perhaps Australia needs fire proof cellars.

I'm not sure elon still owns it

I just wonder what other groups they have been a part of on Signal.

Federal budgets are about choices – what spending to prioritise, what to cut.

@albomp.bsky.social, please keep Trump out of here. Appeasement will not work.

Allegra Spender said it well on #qanda: Australia needs to stay the course. Don’t fall for Dutton’s nuclear mirage-trickery.

The government’s Future Made in Australia is a real plan to invest in renewables and build world leading industry like never before.

Stay the course! 🇦🇺

Don't gut our environment laws The Government’s proposed environmental law changes are an attack on our democracy and could benefit destructive industries far beyond Tasmania’s coastal ecosystems.

Rather than strengthen our environment laws as promised, the Albo is trying to weaken them…so the rotten subsidised Salmon farmers can continue while the Maugean Skate faces extinction…and the fish are full of bacteria. Yuk

My thoughts in our latest podcast australiainstitute.org.au/post/dont-gu...

Oh

Could you not use random tags?

Today in things that should be illegal...

The fact that Peter Dutton’s warning about leaks was itself leaked highlights the lack of respect & loyalty for him within the Coalition.

And it raises questions about his leadership - if Dutton doesn't have control of the party and can’t manage his own MPs, how can he run the country? #auspol
