Is it wrong that I deleted Sky News from all TVs at my parents house?

I consider this a safety thing given its less than 5wks til Christmas.

Just another reminder that the government *and* opposition banned 15 year-olds from social media, but are happy for my 11yo to be bombarded with gambling ads.

Because... well, I have no idea.

A gutless PM who has no understanding of power.

Doesn't know how to lead... not sure he wants to. Was much more happy as Leader of the House where he could just play student politics with Chris Pyne and it was all meaningless.

If you paid any tax in 2022-23, you paid more than all of these multinational gas corporations did on $36 BILLION income, exporting Australian gas from QLD.

Really makes you think. #auspol

This all-consuming book has been out for a month, as of yesterday, and is off to be reprinted. I have been too scared to ask for numbers, but I know people are buying and reading it. Thank you. The best feedback is a review like this one because it was my exact hope for this thing. Don't stop now!

Labor’s Social Media Ban for kids bill is a masterclass in incompetence.

The bill tells social media companies to take ‘reasonable steps’ to determine age without ever defining what that means.

That’s not governance, that’s a dereliction of duty.

Look at some of this mess.👇

Today Live Nation told Parliament it isn’t to blame for expensive gigs.

Whatever the case, our analysis shows festival prices have increased an average of 270%.

Without change, live music will become a luxury beyond the reach of everyday Australians.

Ripper article @satpaper.bsky.social:

Simon Holmes a Court approached Senator Don Farrell, complained proposed changes "would entrench the two-party system and lock out challengers."

“I mean,” Farrell quipped, “that’s the fucking point!”

The biggest electoral reforms in 40 years have been criticised as a plot to entrench the two-party system, which would deliver millions in extra funding to Labor and the Coalition.
