If you want to see the political cynicism at the heart of Australian politics, look at this policy. It will not work. Everybody involved knows it will not work. It was rushed through without consultation or debate. It is designed to take effect when parliament is out and most of the public tuned out
I spoke to @australia.theguardian.com about the unworkability of Australia’s #SocialMediaBan for children and young people:
Labor has brushed aside concerns over the social media ban. But what if it doesn’t work as promised?
If Meta, the world’s biggest social media company, expects problems after a year of preparation, then what should the rest of us be expecting?

Defence of Labour asylum policy reveals backsliding on racism
Home secretary’s framing of failures is partly low politics, but also a result of ministers’ poor approach to race relations

Pre-dawn immigration raids are unironically good now.

White Australia, formerly known as the National Socialist Network, have raised $20,000 for Matthew Gruter
A South African man whose visa was cancelled after attending a neo-Nazi rally in Sydney was detained by immigration agents in a pre-dawn operation and taken to Villawood detention centre.

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."
