Streaming platforms know if you’re a parent, a gamer or a young renter. And they're selling political advertisers the ability to target you using this information.
From blackout to 'black hole': How streaming services like 9Now and Kayo could swing the election
Streaming providers know where you shop, where you travel, and if you are a parent. And they'll let political parties target you using this data — but won't tell you how.

The actual bosses are the billionaires but we get the fiction every couple of years via voting that we have a say in the decisions that impact our lives.

the boss is the best organizer, federal edition

The ranks of federal employee unions are swelling as they attempt to shield their members from a barrage of executive orders from President Trump, who with billionaire advisor Elon Musk, has launched an unprecedented assault on the federal workforce aimed at reducing its size and weeding out "disloyal" civil servants. The American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal employee union, grew to a record size of 319,233 active members after adding more than 14,000 in the past five weeks. That's nearly as many as the union added in the previous 12 months, according to union spokesman Tim Kauffman.

The official death toll in Gaza is over 45,000, but the true figure "is closer to 300,000," says Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a British Palestinian surgeon. "This is literally and mathematically a genocidal project."

Labor condemns perceived antisemitism, ignores Islamophobia
The Labor PM and NSW Premier have been quick to demonise community members supporting justice in Palestine and quick to wrongly conflate anti-Zionism with antisemitism — all of which have repercussions, as Paul Gregoire points out.
