I agree. And Min for Comms response suggests she know nil about the telecoms industry and she does not understand the gravity of a ‘network failure’ on 000 network. Reference to ACMA is biggest slap on the wrist b/c covered by industry code not legislation. Also 000 access applies to all telcos.

Network failure on 000 is more than a disgrace. Deaths!! Optus bigtime but all telco industry. Take everything out of self-regulatory ‘industry codes’ and put into enforceable legislation. And more. #auspol #000 #optus

The royal pageantry of rich and entitled people fawning over each other with gold coaches for 2 pedophile adulterous men made me vomit. FFS Australia these a***hole so-called ‘leaders’ love wealth & self-idolatry over equality for all and ending homelessness. Ditch the ‘wonderful alliances’. #auspol

Hello Amaysim. Shocking ad. MAN ‘discovers’ Amaysim, tells WOMAN/wife, tells ‘older person’ parents in dressing gowns, clever children. HELLO I am female grandparent AND I don’t live in dressing gowns AND was part of Aus telco industry to enable Amaysim. End misogyny and ageism #auspol #telco

I heard signatory Peter Rodgers’ interview on RN Breakfast. Intelligent and knowledgeable. The contents of this letter to the PM also collective knowledge and jntelligence. I add my call-out to the letter’s call for Government action. #auspol

Why don't country signatories incl Australia close their embassies in Israel and recall their Ambassadors, and send the Ambassadors for Israel in their own countries home? #freepalestine #auspol #GazaGenocide #IsraeliWarCrimes

ABC Weekend Breakfast reports on rural regions suffering from access to medical care and needing to travel to capital cities. Well well well. What was a major objective of the National Broadband Network? Tele-health. And Tele-education. Life-changer the NBN could have been. 😟

I thought he was quite cautious in what he said. He brought tears to my eyes when spoke about horrific killing of Bosnian Muslim boys & men 30 years ago.😢And on in goes in Gaza. WTF is it that enables giving of life to human murderous animals & allows them to kill, kill & kill other humans 😠

Notes to editor: misleading and deceptive headling: 1. China did not ask him 2. what amounts to PM's 'refusal' to answer?

First words on ABC Radio National 9am news ‘Barnaby Joyce says…’ OMFG. In relation to Aust responding to Trumps demands to tell him what we’re going to do. After Steve Cannane delivered very good breakfast programme that included that story without bringing in Barnaby. Editorial alignment needed!!

My hero Gough got it right about social equality for tertiary education. I benefited from free tertiary education. I was gutted when it was the ALP that began re-introducing fees - and they got bigger and onto HECS. Memo to #ALP. Shld be top policy priory for Goughs vision and action. #auspol

Undoubtedly he would have chuckled about prisoners going into gas chambers at ‘Bergen Belsen’. US alliteration with concentration camp names beating the Nazis - 2 As beats 2 Bs. #alcatraz #alligator #auspol

🤣love the adapted Know and Go ad on SBS. Original ad started with image of ‘elderly woman’ & words like ‘if you’re elderly & in 70s’. That part no longer in ad. 🤣. I was incensed by ref about age 70 being old or elderly despite not there but getting closer. Whoever lobbied - thank you heaps. #auspol

Call me stupid. What is ‘performative outrage’ and pls explain in simple terms I can understand what May 3 taught us. Thank you.

Greg Jericho @grogsgamut.bsky.social · Jun 23

You could not write a more prefect explanation of everything wrong with those advising Labor than this tweet.

Not sure how you get to such a point in life, but please may I never be there.

Tweet by Kos Samaras

Once again, the Left is outraged that the federal Labor government hasn’t condemned the U.S. bombing of Iran with sufficient fury. And once again, the Right is incensed that it didn’t cheerlead the strike quickly enough.

Remarkably, both sides are still wrong, just as they were in the lead-up to the federal election, when the loudest voices on both extremes of the Middle East debate not only lost the argument but also lost their seats.

Now, I say this not as a commentator, but as a researcher, one armed with a strong dataset - Labor actually winning 94 seats.

Australians aren’t interested in ideological performance art. They are not clamouring for moral absolutism from either fringe. They expect their government to act soberly, cautiously, and in the national interest.

But some, keep shouting into the void. Because if there’s one thing May 3rd taught us, it’s that performative outrage, whether draped in a keffiyeh or clutching a Stars and Stripes, doesn’t win elections in this country. It alienates the very centre-ground that actually decides them.
