Some have managed to find a way to get angry at the Ms Tame, saying it was 'disrespectful' to use an Australia Day event to insult the ruler of Australia.

People really don’t grasp how big these coal mines are.
While Australia talks about climate action at COP29, at home the Australian Government is approving NEW coal mines.
This one, Narrabri Underground Mine, is so big that it covers nearly the entire area of the electorates of Sydney and Grayndler.

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.
