In a surprisingly cruel move, the judge has not recommended jail time, but instead sentenced the defendant to 1000000 hours of twitch streaming Mario Karts online using his real name.

Re Gaetz. Did the Republicans finally find a line Trump wanted to cross that was so bad they grew a spine? Or was it just him realising there was no way through without everyone finding out all the horrific details? Or a bit of both?

the two major parties are ramming through a massive funding increase for themselves and a host of measures that'll advantage them over everyone else.

I wish I was making this up, but the boss of the National Anti-Corruption Commission has given a speech where he admits that he acted with "apprehended bias" during the Robodebt non-investigation. As Bernard Keane and many others argue, Brereton has to resign www.crikey.com.au/2024/11/18/p...
Discredited Brereton should stop whingeing and resign from the NACC
The National Anti-Corruption Commission head devoted a major speech to explaining why he shouldn't resign. It perfectly demonstrated why he should.

Australian Labor are on BlueSky, which is great, so now you can feel free to let them know what you think of a national private identity gathering program for every Australian using social media regardless of their age.

This is being Trojan-horsed as "protecting the children".

The Albanese Government is committed to keeping young people safe, particularly on social media.

We know that social media offers benefits to many Australians, but it is also a source of harm — too often, social media isn’t social at all.
