Am I right, the guy in red is a Nazi, everyone else is "low-socio conservative christian gamers upset at how PC culture is erasing history" or "anti-vaxxers believing in liberty and free speech"?
At a WW2 Wehrmacht rally, Hitler is walking past officers who are all saluting him. Hitler is circled, implying everyone else is just an accidental Nazi rather than being a Nazi officer

Mindboggling that rags like THE AUSTRALIAN are allowed to keep our names in their mouth, especially to run screeds like this
A Facebook link preview for an article from theaustralian.com.au (THE AUSTRALIAN, a right-wing daily national newspaper). The headline is "Trans Masterplan: how activists captured nation's institutions and corporations". The backdrop is whitespace with a rainbow flag and the logo of ACON, a national LGBTQ+ health promotion charity, superimposed on it. Over the background are the images of four people, with a rip between the middle two representing political division. On the left are Teddy Cook and Roxanne Tickle, both associated with the Australian LGBTQ+ rights movement. On the right are Sall Grover and Meela "Kit Kowalski" Davis, both associated with the Australian anti-trans movement.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

Australia really needs a truly independent climate accountability body. The Climate Change Authority is basically just a pro-government advertising body at the moment, just as much as the dep't of environment is.

Fresh insight into why Labor is refusing to release the AUKUS review. US Undersecretary of Defence Elbridge Colby is backgrounding journalists on the upcoming US National Defence Review, calling Israel an “partner” and Australia “dependent.” That’s how they think. thenightly.com.au/politics/aus...

It hasn't even been a week and already industry bodies like Screen Producers Australia (attached) have just realised that the legislation may not do what they were all excited about last week.

I mean, FFS. It was pretty bloody obvious that the new laws won't "prioritise Aussie stories"...
RECORD SPEND, FEWER SHOWS: NEW DATA REVEALS GAPS IN SVOD SUPPORT FOR KEY GENRES SPA welcomes the release of the ACMA SVOD report and record increase in spending on adult drama in particular. However, despite the high spending figures, it is clear that Australian audiences are seeing less hours and titles of Australian screen content. Remarkably, there has been a 25% drop in commissioned Australian titles, despite an increase in spending of 41%. Most of this growth came from a 54% surge in spending on adult drama, despite only a 6.7% increase in the number of titles - largely due to a significant investment by one provider in an as-yet-unreleased feature film at end of the financial year. Despite this heightened expenditure, the volume of commissioned content is falling. The number of programs commissioned by SVODs declined 25% year-on-year, with 41 titles compared with 55 in 2023–24 and 67 in 2022-23. As a result, Australian audiences are seeing fewer titles - and therefore fewer hours - of newly commissioned Australian content. Also of concern is that children’s drama remained flat, with expenditure holding at $3.3 million. This represents just 1% of total drama spend, despite children accounting for roughly 18% of the population. Documentary experienced a particularly steep decline, with expenditure falling 69% to $3.8 million. The genre also recorded a 16% drop in the number of titles and 22% fewer hours of content. Light entertainment increased slightly in spend, rising 3% to $22 million, but still saw a 7% decrease in the number of titles and a 13% decline in hours. SPA believes that spending on vulnerable genres such as children’s and documentary programming requires careful monitoring by the ACMA and the Australian Government over the coming years, particularly as the new Australian Content Requirement Regulation comes into effect on 1 January 2026.
