Imagine Dutton’s implausible cuts to migration were actually possible. Now see the dire economic consequences
Net migration of international students and skilled workers would have to fall by almost 90% to achieve the Coalition’s promised figures

One sign that we are living under an authoritarian regime is that a lot of people are acting like they are living under an authoritarian regime.
The fear among academics and lawyers now talking on the record on just about any topic that involves the federal government or the White House is really extraordinary and worrisome, and getting worse, it seems to me, every week. Dissent by an establishment figures becoming verboten in the US

I have cancelled our planned trip to the RSA Conference in San Francisco later this month. @metlstorm.risky.biz and I were headed over to record some live shows and see everyone. Unfortunately I have received advice that crossing the border into the United States right now would be a bad idea.

This is inaccurate. There is no known vulnerability with Signal's core tech. The memo was discussing phishing attempts, which Signal has worked to mitigate. And it was hastily reported.
It's important not to spread misinfo that can confuse people into moving away from meaningfully private comms.
