Captain Quoll is at it again! He and his team will be out on Sunday to raise $35k to banish dastardly diseases....and they still have $10k to go.

Throw in a dollar or two if you can! @kudelka.bsky.social deserves it.

Last month The Australian platformed two players in the nasty NatCon space as if they were just urbane nostalgics for a better Britain before “indiscriminate” immigration. You need to see who these men are.

"The Australian": feeding national conservatism to Australia's power elites
National conservatism is the ideology that surrounds Trump. It is the faux intellectual dressing for MAGA.

Wow, Services Australia spent three quarters of a million in legal fees fighting a losing FOI fight against @daedalus.eigenmagic.com
Topic: Robodebt Case Legal Fees Question reference number: IQ25-000016 Asked By: Senator Jacqui Lambie Type of question: Spoken. Hansard Page/s: 9 Date set by the committee for the return of answer: 24 October 2025 Question: Senator Lambie: Services Australia, you lost a Robodebt case against Mr Warren before the full court. I'm just wondering what your legal costs for both Administrative Review Tribunal and the Federal Court were? I’m gathering it's about half a million and I’m being conservative. Do you know what the costs were? Mr Higgins: I'd have to take that on notice, Senator. I don’t have that detail with me. Answer: $776,739.02 including GST (where applicable) in relation to AAT, Federal Court and ART.

October 27 is apparently National Black Cat day in the US (not to be confused with National Black Cat Appreciation Day on August 17).

Good story from @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social on @michaelwest.com.au.web.brid.gy on the Government's broken promises on Australian content quotas & the diabolical impact on our local screen industry.

Are there any multi-nationals to which this Govt won't capitulate?

Arts Minister Tony Burke promised we'd have Aussie content on our streamed TV services like Netflix. But he’s done nothing except block FOIs

End all funding every single private employment services provider.

Salt the earth so those in change of them never get any public money ever again - run them out of the country.

Get rid of mutual obligations

Bring back the CES

Raise the fricken rate

Ain’t hard.
