Thrilling to see a (brave) ABC journalist scrutinising Trump’s corruption. Trump’s reaction shows you a nerve has been hit. Too often media shy away from these tough questions because of Trump’s bullying. We should all stand up for journalists willing to be watchdogs!

What the fucking fuck is a koala offset?
ketanjoshi.co Ketan Joshi @ketanjoshi.co · Aug 15
Glencore, a company that's expanding a massive coal mine in Queensland, Australia, is going to destroy a massive amount of koala habitat - and plans to buy 'koala offsets' to claim they've undone that damage

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
6.0 Final Score and Offset Liability Significant residual impacts will occur to environmental matters from the development of the study area and environmental offsets will likely be required through the State and Commonwealth approvals process. A land-based approach is required for significant residual impacts to MNES and a land-based approach should take precedence for MSES as these can be co-located in a single or multiple offset areas. Any residual MSES not covered by a land-based approach can then be sought through a financial settlement. 6.1 Combination Offset for MSES A land-based offset will primarily be sought for those State prescribed environmental matters where a significant residual impact will occur (Table 27). Any proposed offset area for MNES can also be ground-truthed for those prescribed environmental matters in Table 27. Any residual quantity for those prescribed environmental matter not covered by a land-based option may be sought through the DES web-based financial settlement offset calculator. 6.2 Land-based Offset for MNES A referral and subsequent approval under the EPBC Act is required for significant impacts to MNES. Overlapping significant environmental matters within the study area where a significant impact under the EPBC Act have been identified as likely to occur include Koala and Squatter Pigeon (Southern) habitat (Table 31). Given that significant impacts to MNES will occur within the study area, offsets in accordance with EPBC Act offset policy will be required. Note that there is a minimum of a 90 % land-based offset mechanism required under the EPBC Act offset policy. Multipliers for land area are determined via a number of parameters, many of which are dependent on attributes of a suitable offset land parcel, and will therefore be determined when additional information from the offset strategy is available. Table 31 The quantity and quality of MNES habitat where a significant impact has been identified MNES Quantity impacted (ha) …

Dear PM @albomp.bsky.social
I am deeply disturbed by the Zionist agenda being pushed by your Govt's Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal. The Australian Federal Court has ruled that opposing Zionism and criticising Israel's genocide in Gaza is NOT anti-Semitic. I agree with Dr Max Kaiser. 👇 #auspol

I have not looked into this properly yet..... But it sounds like he's saying farm workers ICE seized will go back to the farms, but under a financial arrangement where the farmers will "own" them, and be "responsible for them most of the time". Didn't they have a Civil War about this stuff already?

They're really trying to WMD our butts into supporting the mass-murders of countless more brown people in the Middle East again.

I was one of 450,000 Australians that were hounded for 18 months with a false Robodebt. I’m furious Morrison was awarded the highest honour for ignoring lawyers and illegally chasing us and allowing his ministers to call us criminals.

My profession causes immense harm. Journalism has been abused, seized by the powerful, and used as a tool to manufacture consent for atrocity. Maybe none of this matters, but when my son asks about this period I will be able to look him in the eyes and say I wasn't a coward, I wasn't complicit.
