I feel like today is a good day to remind everyone that just last year Barnaby Joyce called on a crowd of cookers to say “goodbye” to 3 Labor MPs inc the PM by getting ready to “load that magazine” & think of a “bullet” when casting their vote.
And received no penalty or censure.

Parliamentary Sports Club now de-registers as a lobbyist after being exposed by David Pocock.

The Club CEO Andrew Turnbull owes Pocock an apology. #auspol #abc730

What a joke
A sad one

People don't like jury duty due to the poor pay for the disruption caused.
Pay sortitioners the same pro rate rate the pollies get(220k pa).
Sortitioners get chosen for sitting on committees for a limited time ( maybe 4 months) which is most of the work of a pollie.
Most would welcome the pay bump

If you have over $3mil in super then do the right thing and don't oppose the proposed tax on your mountain of money.

"There is a strong public interest in not releasing the information" FOI response to @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social

We pay politicians and they are refusing to tell how much of our money they are spending to bury nuclear waste for the US & UK

Looks like my son will be kicked off YouTube but he will be able to peruse 4chan to his hearts content.
Don't you think that is a little bit weird?
No more ElectricBOOM or MrBeast but hello to the dodgiest of 4chan.
So sad

If you need to mount a case for universal healthcare then you are starting to climb that mountain starting in a hole.

I had to dodge a car. Maybe we can temporarily ban cars until we can be sure they don't kill 1000 of us a year? Sure they are fun and keep the weather off you but can we afford 1000 dead a year for the convenience they give?

If we trust sortition for whether someone goes to jail for life or walks free wgy wouldn't it be good for parliament and all those parliamentary committees?
Why do we keep insisting on using a process that has failed for over 100yrs to create a parliament that accurately reflects the electorate?

The temporary ban on escooters is extreme.
Why is it when we find a better cleaner cheaper more fun way to move an army of naysayers highlight the negatives and hide the positives?
All scooter riders should wear a full face helmet due to the most common way they crash
Speed limit to 40kmhr

Courts police and nsw government all working hard to deny freedom of assembly

The crisis is manufactured.
Democracy and populations of people are too easily manipulated/gamed.
Democracy isn't up to the task of managing society anymore with individual messagingand AI shaping attitudes.
After 100yrs we still don't have a parliament that looks like the electorate
#sortition now

The lengths some will go to in order to deny palestinians justice.
Sad

Great work
Keep it up

Time to escape the failing states of America

More bullsh!t from NSW police in prohibiting the palestine march on the wknd.

Yup. 🤣

Best wishes to all Palestinians.
I hope this deal doesn't screw them over
Free Palestine

Yeah but there isn't a sky wizard or wizards.
Humans made God.
We know that

Wow - so Labor lied in Parliament about exporting military equipment to Israel and now they’re HIDING the evidence?

Thank you for sharing.
There is no religiousness in my family. I have little personal experience with sky wizard fanatics so I wonder how these fallacies get so imbedded in the thinking of some.

Thats so sad
Did your mum go to uni?
Did she grow up in a sky wizard house?
Does she show irrationality in other aspects of her life?
