How much money do you think a private school linked to Scientology should get from the NSW Government?
In 2022, the Athena school with only 55 students received total Government funding of over a million dollars.

"Whitlam wasn’t perfect. But he was big. He was brave. But mostly, he was rational. He bulldozed his way through the incrementalist policy that kept Australians small, and scared and ill-educated and insular because he knew the evidence was on his side." - @amyremeikis.bsky.social for The Point
Whitlam’s legacy is one of possibility and hope. He showed us what a brave, grown up Australia could look like.
Whitlam showed us what a brave, grown up Australia could look like. And 50 years later, you have to wonder – is it even possible to make Australia brave again?

38 years ago, Thomas Sankara, the revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso, was assassinated in a French-backed coup. He aspired to a fair and just society, and an economy built on self-sufficiency, ecological regeneration, and freedom from Western domination.

Again, this is not hyperbole. The projected cumulative numbers, if this policy change holds (and given even the sympathetic side doesn't say much about it, why would it change), are literally right there with the worst human catastrophes in history. www.cgdev.org/blog/how-man...

So, Musk got Trump elected leading to the end of the $7,500 federal subsidy on EVs while at the same time throwing two Heil Hitlers on national television alienating the core demographic of EV buyers resulting in this catastrophe. And yet, the shareholders still want to give him $1T.

Thiel talked about Carl Schmitt being one of his ideological heroes that forms part of his core beliefs. Why do we treat anything he says as anything more than utter nonsense?
