These kinds of comments are going to destroy any reputation Ms Buttrose may have had, even if she mistakenly thinks it is going to gain her publicity & sell the book
Her comments place her squarely in the current far right camp along with Segal & her husband

We need more honest language:

Theft Tech (AI)

Grift Tech (crypto)

Death Tech (automated weapons and military surveillance)
"theft tech" is a term my pal @astra.bsky.social thought of just today when we were working on our book about these End Times Fascists.

We were thinking about what should happen when this this bubble busts, as we all know it will.

Remember: they have bunkers. We don't. 2/3

Different situation, Nancy Pelosi stood up to Trump one time:

"Don't you characterise me Mr President."

Trump, flabbergasted, went silent. Nothing to say.

Two things- 1) it was a horrible thing to say; 2) not one damn member of the media who was there spoke up and said “that’s inappropriate sir”- because they live in mortal fear of retaliation. It’s disgusting.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

No wonder PM Albanese now appears ambivalent about hosting COP26 in SA next year. World attention would focus on his export coal/gas (gaslighting) hypocrisy: an embarrassment for Australia. AFR reports 👇 big decision expected this week. Bonn?

Neo Nazis were allowed to protest outside of Parliament on the Government’s watch. That the Minns Labor Govt uses their own failure to justify harsher anti-protest laws is an utter disgrace.

What’s Susssan Ley on about?
Howard ripped the guts out of TAFE and changed immigration to provide:
- business opportunities for dodgy training providers & the failed competency based training
- cheap labour for his business buddies

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

Why is Amazon Australia allowed to sell products in Australia, sold from an Amazon warehouse, which are not RCM/ASNZS 4517 approved (ie. mains electrical safety?)

What the fuck is wrong with our regulatory bodies that this doesn’t see Amazon prosecuted? Total regulatory capture.
