I’ve seen too many Americans talk about how the USA used to be an example to other nations. Let me just tell you, yes it has been. It has been an example of what not to be.
Healthcare, education, law enforcement, military use, gun laws, social security etc…
But yeah you make some good movies.

One problem that Americans have to get past is that this *is* who they are.
It’s not an aberration - this is what the US society is.
All that time kidding yourself about being the greatest nation on earth you have been murdering your own citizens and those in other countries.

Remember how they mounted an email campaign to Ita Buttrose to get rid of @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social?
Its just good old fashioned pester power.
We saw in the unfair dismissal case how Buttrose said she just wanted the emails to stop.
So she bullied her staff to get rid of Lattouf.

The problem is that by caving in in the past ABC management is simply encouraging further attacks on their employees and by extension the public broadcaster itself.

When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.

So the next salvo is from ex-Labor politicians. Huge groundswell. 22 of them! Some overlap with the previous eminent sporting greats. Basically if you can muster a quorum you’ve got front page coverage guaranteed. Get in line! A clear majority (of a small vocal minority) want this.

Silly question.. could the govt 5% deposit scheme have contributed via increased housing costs, along with childcare etc. Would Govt funding of childcare reduce inflation?
Aaarrggh expect Xmas sales will ^inflation?

RBA to hold rates on September 30 but cut likely after Q3 inflation
The Reserve Bank of Australia will keep its cash rate at 3.60% next week, all the economists in a Reuters poll said, as the labour market remains tight and policymakers wait to see firm signs that inflation is easing.

Would an Australian newspaper ever gleefully report that people on unemployment benefits or sickness benefits had found a way to rort our system?
The Australian media really do like to put tax dodgers on a pedestal while obsessing about ‘welfare cheats’
