Minister Katy Gallagher's statement about the fed govt's new "AI Plan" was probably AI generated.
- parallel sentence structure (it's not x. it's y)
- three part list with ", and" against APS style guide
- that first full stop was almost definitely an em dash.
What will KatyGPT come up with next?

I just Did The Math and worked out that the Commonwealth Bank has pulled in roughly $233b in profit (NPAT, statutory) since its full privatisation in 1997. The last 10 years alone represents more than $100b in profit.
Adjusted to 2024/25 fy inflation.

From 11 December, Telstra will be rolling out an update to their "Customer Terms". This includes some plans not having access to network upgrades, or even the same coverage. Some plans will have "data prioritisation" i.e. pay more money or you'll have slower speeds.

"I think most people … would find it surprising that people can put in anonymous FOI requests. What that means is that there's no way to determine whether a foreign agent or actor is putting in requests about information that are sensitive," he said.
That's so bad faith it's laughable.

![Albanese denies bill is bad for transparency
But Anthony Albanese rebuffed suggestions his government was turning its back on long-stated commitment to more transparency, suggesting the FOI changes were a "security" issue.
"I think most people … would find it surprising that people can put in anonymous FOI requests. What that means is that there's no way to determine whether a foreign agent or actor is putting in requests about information that are sensitive," he said.
The bill would stamp out anonymous requests and introduce new powers to block "vexatious" or otherwise abusive requests, which Ms Rowland said were a key reason why bureaucrats spent one million hours responding to requests in 2023-24.
"[The bill] is designed to make sure that we can prioritise genuine FOI request and make sure that we most expeditiously spend taxpayers' money," she told the ABC's AM.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:icq5ibcmigbdgku5l2klgmld/bafkreiee37wxmb7rje2k2xllpedyc4qqw3s72xog6rvyapm2ovwnksthku@jpeg)

Can we talk about how the ALP's how to vote site is free from any Labor branding (until you get to the htv recommendation page) and you have to scroll down (on both web and mobile) to see their authorisation?
There's no reason to have all that space there.

I feel traditionally "centre left" Labor party is no longer actually centre left, finding themselves at odds with both unionism and nationalisation. So what exactly are they?

Melb house prices are down (1% lol) but unit prices have increased by 0.8%.
Even if you treat housing as a "market", this shows that there's still a problem with competition, imo because every new apartment development is either "build to rent" (to shut out FHOs) or marketed as "luxury".
