The people will pay a big cost for @albomp.bsky.social enabling Palantir to access Australian citizens data. Can be used to track down and kill people as used by IDF in Gaza. Rinehart keen.

Is there a more disappointing politician right now in Australian politics than @senatorwong.bsky.social?
Like tunicates, it seems Labor MPs fail to ever fully develop a spine.

May I correct the “record” ;
Bezos paid #$M55 to make the Filum …and …..$M20 to Melania to “appear” in it
Can anyone tell me of another “Filum” that has paid 1 “actor” circa 40% of Production costs on top of those costs ????

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

It's an old joke, but if you phone up your local cinema to find what time they're showing Melania - The Movie they'll ask what time can you make it.
Not a single seat for any of the 14 showings has been sold at Vue in Castleford - I checked.
