worth noting, that one of the first groups the nazis attacked (along with disabled people & trans folx) was communists.
also worth noting is that famous “first they came” poem starts with a line about communists. this line is typically censored in the United States.

Job agency companies and bosses continue to make an extraordinary amount of money from a Mutual Obligations system we now know operates unlawfully
Here's the latest example of what they're doing with that public funding. Enjoy Sarina at the Louis Vuitton resort in St Tropez 👇

Oh yeah? You think capitalism is bad? Here are some inventions you can thank capitalism for:
[Tech that was developed through publicly funded research and then packaged as a Product by people who didn't invent it, and gets worse each year to increase profit]

This is a bizarre thing to publish on the day the federal court awarded a journalist $220,000 for being unfairly dismissed from an on-air role for their political views.

Why Jimmy Kimmel would have never been cancelled in Australia
We need to be careful about how we separate true hate speech from satirical speech. In America, it seems, differentiation is out of favour.

If ABC management wants to demonstrate that it has learned from the #AntoinetteLattouf case, here's an idea:
Commission #4Corners to do an in-depth investigation into how the Israel lobby has built up such massive influence over Australian institutions.
Including, or course, the ABC. #auspol

It says much about our society that organisations like universities, the ABC and arts organisations are hypocritical about their supposed commitment to freedom of expression. Antoinette Lattouf took on the ABC in an employment case symbolically important. #auspol #ABC
Lattouf’s win over ABC a big victory for freedom of expression
Journalist and broadcaster Antoinette Lattouf’s win over the ABC in the Federal Court is a significant victory for freedom of expression.

Errrr Dear Richard Marles
You don’t speak for me, you have never spoken for me and you will never speak for me.
Before you decide to send my kids off to war you better brush off the old resume because I will end your career.

‘Mind-boggling stupidity’: The consultancy that captured universities
Nous Group has slowly taken over the university sector, filling VCs’ offices with ex-staff and buying ‘incredibly sensitive’ data that is sold back for benchmarking.

What are these 'shared values' with our 'friends' Israel and the US? Is it white supremacy? Genocide? Corruption? Systematically murdering brown people? Or is it the 'democracy' thing, that we have two useless political options, both of which want to make things worse? Explain it to me like I'm 6.
