The GOP caved. The Dems caved. Wall Street caved. Big Law caved. The Ivy League universities caved. The DOJ caved. The FBI caved. The media caved. At America's moment of crisis, the only ones who stood strong against tyranny were the furries.

Why did the Department have to outsource a basic review to Deloitte in the first place? Because they do not know how their own system -- which is unlawfully punishing ppl -- actually works. And haven't documented its processes

Here is the Secretary, in February, confessing that

An FOI I put in at the start of the year found that senior officials at the Department of Employment were aware of these significant issues in 2020, but refused to act

It took until DECEMBER 2024 to get Deloitte to review the system & report back

The Deloitte report was received by the Department last year but was not publicly released until almost 12 months later

DEWR tried to hide it as long as possible — not because of AI errors — but because it documents the widespread unlawful administration of Mutual Obligations

Now that the Deloitte report, about the government's unlawful administration of mutual obligations, is making international headlines, it's worth looking at what's actually in it (apart from AI slop) and WHY it was actually commissioned

No protest from 6am to 9am in the Broadview free speech zone.

Just here with a handful of press waiting to see if we can catch the Texas National Guard arriving in Broadview tonight.

"Edwards’ completed research was listed as mostly opinion columns" hahaha

Money-trail aside, Bryce just ain't a real academic. He doesn't seem capable of normal qual research, let alone have the methodological chops to deliver a 'Political Integrity Index'. Clearly, he just couldn't do the work.

Giovanni Tiso @gtiso.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, um, "mysterious". The director of your integrity projects was an early and regular guest to The Platform, which was funded by the owners of a chain of early childhood centres to advance their political agenda.

Just got sent this from an article by Bryce Edwards. This is completely false, and he never once fact-checked it with me. My campaign was run by me and my small volunteer team. Comments like this reflect a tired mindset that assumes women can’t succeed in politics without a man pulling the strings.
