Just heard a story on ABC with the immortal words, “the same providers who were scamming the NDIS are now scamming veterans.”

Talk about a wolf in sheep’s clothing - during the last election the former Liberal MP (in my seat) Jason Falinski fronted what he called a grassroots movement to attack Teal MPs who advocate climate action - turns out it was entirely funded by the Coal Industry.

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

Thanks to The Guardian. Gina 💰💰💰who is now shaping and gathering “talent” for far right nativist party One Nation, is also funding Atlas Network-linked Advance & longterm IPA. Liberal Cormack Foundation is also Advance funder. Will Advance back both horses? Is Gina/Advance/ON/LNP ouroboros? #Auspol

Herzog is a politcal leader "accused of incitement to commit acts of genocide in proceedings currently before the International Court of Justice." It is baffling and concerning that @albomp.bsky.social thinks he can offer anything useful in Australia. Cancel the visit.
