Being a freelancer means this would be all his own gear and he’s now going to have to cover the costs of repair/replacing anything damaged himself. Insecure work costs workers in so many different ways.

Taylor says there’s “good migration and bad migration”. He’s right - the Liberals are not One Nation lite. They’re One Nation full cream milk. Abhorrent, nasty, divisive, racist politics. Shame on all the Liberals.

Today, under the cover of the Liberals tearing each other down, Labor has approved another coal mine extension.

Extending Middlemount to 2044 means Labor has now approved 35 fossil fuel projects.

In the middle of the climate crisis, they're approving more coal & gas.

Hanson talking complete nonsense in support of optional preferential voting. If voters choose to exhaust their vote to stop it from reaching any candidate they dislike, that just makes it more likely someone that they dislike even more will win.

The Liberal Party has had more leadership transitions in the past decade than a Netflix algorithm has had personality shifts. Voters barely have time to memorise the new leader’s preferred economic metaphor before someone else is rehearsing their concession speech.

These horrors are why we march, in protest at this genocidal violence and horror that Herzog represents.

A stain on the Australian government that can never be rubbed clean that he was invited to our shores.

I asked Penny Wong today how hosting President Herzog in Australia when UN experts have found he incited genocide, when he has signed bombs used on Gaza, and right now Israel is stealing more Palestinian land, how could that ever be about peace?

SCOOP: Tensions at Palantir have grown in recent weeks over the company's work with ICE.

On Friday, CEO Alex Karp tried to calm concerns in an hourlong video that offered few specifics—instead offering NDAs to workers who want to understand how it's empowering ICE.
