'There are still people recovering from the trauma': The Goldstein campaign was worse than we thought
While the 2025 federal election inquiry has shown there was a clear rise in hostility at election booths around the country, Tim Wilson's electorate of Goldstein seems to have reached another level.

Maybe in 100 years AI may develop to provide accurate UNBIASED info but right now in its embryonic stage it will undermine the development of humanity & should have major safe guards imposed. Stop the profiteering of this technology now!
The jury is still out on whether AI will actually boost productivity for all organisations and businesses that adopt it.
Australia’s national AI plan has just been released. Who exactly will benefit?

History show us time again that inevitably it is the people who win. The rich & powerful work together to legislate our children's futures & food bowl away until finally the people rise up against it to re-establish equality, equity & a fair go for everyone in our societies. CHILDREN = FUTURE!
You glorious, brave lot, sticking your oar in to remind the billionaire bastard companies that Australians want the government to stop fannying about, start taxing giant fossil fuel companies and make the country run on renewables as much as possible.

Young Australians aged 16 to 25 are attempting to kill themselves, self-harming and experiencing suicidal thoughts in greater numbers and at earlier ages than previous generations, a landmark study has found.
It comes as Kids Helpline data provided exclusively to Guardian Australia shows the proportion of young children experiencing suicidality is increasing at “alarming” rates and being expressed by children as young as six. Continue reading...

Oh my goodness 9 Food Industry Representatives out of 11 Council Members! WTF is our government doing to our Nation? Additives in processed food are well known to be long term toxic & can eventually lead to poor health & even death. We have to stop lobbyist & donation corruption in our Parliaments.
Cheap and unhealthy foods are set to become further entrenched in the Australian diet, according to health experts.

Govt accidentally revealed to ME the gender of the ‘spy’ I cross-examined in a Govt initiated #FOI appeal. Now they’re arguing (with your $$$) national security will be in peril if YOU know if the spy is a man or a woman🤦♂️. @albomp.bsky.social’s Govt’s gone secrecy mad! #auspol

A plan by fossil fuel company Santos to expand gas exploration in the Beetaloo basin has been criticised by environmentalists who fear it may mark the beginning of a fracking rush in the Northern Territory.
Santos has published plans to drill 12 fracking wells at Tanumbirini Station, a 5,000 sq km cattle station about 340km south-east of Katherine. Continue reading...

We have always been of the view that he is a "nowhere" man. Always has been and always will be sadly. He had the numbers in Parliament and an opportunity to make reforms and rewrite history badly needed in our Nation. He did nothing! No more indefinite terms for politicians. Two terms & your out.

Question @johnmendelson.bsky.social - Do the Australian Politicians swear an Oath to protect & serve the Australian people as against just the King of the UK?
If Australia is to remain a confident, modern democracy, then the executive must be accountable to the people, not to the Crown, nor to Cabinet secrecy. If Australia is to flourish, we cannot remain bound to a system built on inherited habits rather than choices made. #auspol #republic #democracy
Only a republic can reverse executive power creep
A democratic republic would end the structural uncertainties that allowed both the Whitlam dismissal and Scott Morrison's many ministries, as well as bringing the Australian people into a new constitutional relationship.
