'Co-regulation' gone mad. ACMA consults with Optus on Optus' own fine and PR. How good if we all got to deal with regulators like this?

Optus chose its own ACMA fine, proofread the PR - What's the Scam? - Michael West
ACMA give Optus the opportunity to comment on the magnitude of proposed fines and on how their conduct should be communicated to the public.

there's much not to like about the current federal govt but the one that is really cutting through for me now is how many TV charity ads i'm seeing begging for money to mitigate crises in Australia which shouldn't be happening especially under a "no one left behind" ALP govt.

Once again, Albo isn't listening.

It's not the people calling for this reform - it's the two major parties.

The reforms we want are:
- more transparency
- restrict donations and report them in real-time
- ban lobbyists and the revolving door
- and fix the NACC so it does the job we expect it to do

High Court rules that Catholic priests are not employees. If so the church is not entitled to all the generous tax exemptions from which they have benefited by claiming priests ARE employees. SMH letter writer raises a good point. 👇 C’mon ATO.

Have you caught up with the Liberal - News Corp pile on for Labor daring to note Peter Dutton used his wife for blatant political purposes a few years back , but now’s says Labor is playing dirty pool attacking his family?
The transparent hypocrisy is almost beyond belief.

Why is anti-Semitism being privileged over all other discrimination, & the horrific murderous violence against women in this country?

10,000 more Australians are made homeless each month.
In a wealthy, educated and innovative country, nothing better demonstrates the moral failure of the Labor/LNP duopoly that has so long dominated politics and public policy. We need real change.#auspol
Extra 10,000 Australians becoming homeless each month, up 22% in three years, report says
Almost half were couch surfing or living in short-term accommodation, UNSW and Homelessness Australia say

Absolute 🔥 from Lambie here.
$28 million for Macquarie Harbour "to help salmon companies that are foreign-owned, been making a mincer out of us for years & years & years...their profits are huge & yet, they haven't paid any tax for 3 years.

Why aren't they cleaning up their own mess?"

@jacquilambie.bsky.social has put forward a motion to rename labor’s electoral “reform” bill the “snouts in the troughs” bill.

…which is fair enough given the two major parties are giving themselves $82.7m in extra taxpayer funds under the bill.

if you’re a #labor or #coalition supporter, i’ll understand if you want to avoid eye contact today…

the 2 major parties are ramming through a set of anti-democratic changes to the fundamental settings of our democracy…

entrenching incumbency, undermining fair elections.

Yesterday, Saint Linda Reynolds claimed her usual attack of the vapours - this time over a defence department contract

St Linda "felt ill" when she read about some dodgy contract behaviour back in 2016

No idea what any of it has to do with Saint Linda Of The Perpetual Vomiting

Such a drama queen
