This new report on digital inclusion shows 1 in 5 Australians are digitally excluded, it's 40% for First Nations people, 45% for public housing residents, 67% for older Australians. As services move online, digital exclusion = exclusion from healthcare, education & opportunity.

Evidence of mass killings by RSF in El-Fasher, Sudan, are chilling. They must be a wake up call for the rest of the planet too. Countries must be pressured to stop sending weapons into their proxy war in Sudan. It starts with acknowledging the horror.

The Government justified a clamp down on freedom of information requests by claiming an increase in malicious and automated FOI attempts. Only problem is, there's no evidence of such a thing.
Our research showed that the number of FOI requests has not increased, but processing time has. 🔗⤵️ #auspol

This story is WILD. Trump sent Seal Team 6 into North Korea to plant a listening device. The entire thing went sideways within minutes of landing when they noticed a fishing boat near the beach. They killed everyone on board, sunk the bodies to cover their tracks, and fled. Congress was never told.
