As an organiser, I’ve been banging this drum for a decade now — but more and more the data backs my gut up.
The AES and Macquarie post-election studies for both 2022 and 2025 have shown just how stark a cleavage housing tenure is.

I'm not doing #SpotifyWrapped because Spotify rip off musicians, run advertisements for ICE, fund arms companies and helped get Trump reelected.
I might post my last fm summaries at the actual end of the year.

When you post your #SpotifyWrapped, you’re not just doing free advertising for a company that exploits artists, recruits for ICE, and invests in AI war machines.
You’re actively celebrating the fact that you’re being surveilled and participating in your own surveillance.
Maybe … don’t do that?

“If citizens are the ones paying the tariff taxes, why isn’t that money being used to lower the national debt or reduce healthcare costs? He claimed there’s already $17T from tariffs—so where is it, and why are the tax breaks going to those who need them least?”

In the 50 years since the Dismissal, support for the theory that US agencies were involved in Whitlam’s ousting has not wavered. Crikey reviews (some) of the evidence.
Did the CIA overthrow the Whitlam government?

Great news! The govt will finally introduce local content rules for streaming platforms. This is a huge win for Aussie stories, jobs and our screen industry. Proud to have stood alongside actors, creators and so many others who helped push for this outcome. It’s a great day for Australian stories.
