I spent 8 months waiting for an FOI from the NDIA on how they're using AI.

This is what I found.

Machine learning is used in developing draft plans for participants.

Robodebt concerns loom large over the Copilot trial, but staff reported favourably on it.

Sorry kids, believe us, we tried, really hard, to push our political leaders to do better.

After removing the Enviro minister's ability to revisit previous decisions even in light of new info (EPBC Reconsiderations bill), the @albomp.bsky.social gov sets its sights on bilateral agreements aka the Coalition's one stop shop policy👇

Will Labor give Big Business what LNP couldn't❓
LNP govs repeatedly sought (& failed) to devolve Federal approval powers on enviro protection to states via Bilateral Agreements

That was good cos it's a bad idea as @edolawyers.bsky.social's explained👇

But what Big Business couldn't get fr LNP they'll get fr @albomp.bsky.social's Labor gov

Murray Watt is a perfect model of the modern Labor politician. President of Young Labor. Chief of staff for a Premier. Boss of the Qld Left. Now he’s the Environment Minister with responsibility for a critical decision. He chose to destroy the environment. www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/29/m...
Watt waves through Woodside, and Labor’s light on the hill becomes a gas flare
The newly minted environment minister faced a stark choice: protect the environment, or approve a massive fossil fuel development that will destroy the environment. He chose destruction.

If Senator Murray Watt approves the North West Shelf extension, his legacy will forever be as the man who destroyed the oldest rock art on the planet.

It will be an act of vandalism so gross that nothing he can do in politics thereafter could counter the damage.
The Murujuga rock art is one of Australia's most priceless heritage sites.

And it's being slowly destroyed.

If Environment Minister Murray Watt approves the 50 year extension to the North West Shelf, it will be a death sentence for Murujuga.

This is absolutely terrible news.

With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately.

Looks like Labor is about to approve the North West shelf gas expansion, which among bad news for the planet and WA energy costs is terrible for the nearby Murujuga rock art - which is so old, it has one of the first known depictions of the human face

Giora Eiand's Generals’ Plan is gathering steam among Israeli MPs. The plan sets out to colonise Gaza & continue the genocide. Those living in the northern Gaza Strip (300,000) will be ordered to leave & anyone who does not leave will be deemed a terrorist & effectively will be sentenced to death

Under it 80% of taxpayers are better off than they would be under Stage 3 and the govt can save between $70bn and $130bn in the first 10 years.
Stage-three tax cuts: overhaul could save budget $130bn and deliver bigger savings to most workers
