My fave* part of this whole saga is that even after YEARS of being on notice to stop lying and sort their shit out, the Department tells the Ombudsman they have an app for that. And when the Ombudsman asks to see the app they say 'actually, no we don't'. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...
![Screenshot from the article. The text reads:
Illustrative of the government's approach to the system is an app the DEWR claims it built to provide "alerts on known risk areas".
, including providers booking dodgy
appointments that can penalise jobseekers.
When the ombudsman asked to see it, the department had to admit the app does not yet exist.
"Later in the investigation when we sought further information on this data App, DEWR changed its previous advice, stating that the risk monitoring data App for monitoring TCF [Targeted Compliance Framework]-related data was in fact not complete and was expected to be gathering data by late 2025," the ombudsman wrote.
The ombudsman revealed a catalogue of other examples where the department or Services Australia, which administers the welfare cancellations and occasionally checks the work of providers issuing suspensions, made misleading claims to his office, to him, to jobseekers and to the public.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y5jtxfxnv4exgujkdbmy43jp/bafkreiakutdnw67stuml4xooynfe6gms377a4rai6begtvzhqv3uxszyvy@jpeg)

Parent gave kids access to social media. Takes it away due to "potential" damage and personal guilt. Prepared for bullying of kids by peers for doing so. Then posts about it on social media and does interview for national broadcaster, bringing more attention to her kids. Feels performative.

Al Jazeera reports companies have been approached to trial facial recognition and biometrics for age verification.

For all the ignorant people responding positively to the bill, please note in this clip that a company has been approached to trial facial recognition and biometrics as age verification. Side note; This campaign was started by News Corpse's "Let them be kids".
