How ever many bad people of whatever kind they imagine, there are already 100's more of the exact same already here.

For example, they don't seem too concerned about all the dudes born here that kill a woman they know every week of every year.

It's just smoke screen for their racism.

Solidarity with Vanessa Turnbull Roberts. An old, shitty story that keeps happening. The real 'cancel culture' is women's careers being cut short or derailed when they need to choose safety. Because apparently we're not always entitled to both.
Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts says she stepped down as the ACT's first Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people commissioner to prioritise her safety after being subjected to sexual harassment and sexual assault by a public servant.

The message from the public is unmistakable: 21% support bombing Iran. 70% oppose intervention. 85% say they don’t want war.
Trump hasn't bombed Iran yet. He must be reading these polls.
American public opinion is largely against a new war with Tehran. If that isn't staying the president's hand, it should.

AUKUS is sinking and Labor responds by making up a $30 billion un-budgeted AUKUS announceable for the SA State election. This stuff is straying so far from reality.

Good to see positive ideas for change.

We live in a shadow of the world we could create. A world in which we shall be able to avert an almost certain ecological collapse, rather than waiting around for capitalism to push us beyond the point of no return.

"Capital Gains Tax,discount receive an average benefit of $21,010. For context, this is around $400 more than unemployment benefits in an entire year.

What the PBO report doesn’t say is that the CGT discount also primarily benefits men rather than women"

Australia’s tax concessions benefit men more than women
Budgets are about choices, and as the Federal Budget approaches in May, it’s a good time to ask who the Australian Government has in mind when they make their choices.

I remember this album well. The air of hypercapitalistic, slightly dystopian and yet nevertheless feeling like the future of music. The ads between album tracks. The synthesizers.

It was all a brave new frontier of music.
