Gazetting the entire CBD as a designated area for 6 months is a blatant abuse of police powers, it’s supposed to be a short term exception to normal civil rights not an excuse to search anyone they want all the time www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Dumping net zero has dropped the Coalition to 42 2PP to Labor’s 58 ok the latest Newspoll, a disastrous result that will eventually spur them to replace Ley with someone less popular who will move the party further away from their voting base. The next election is going to be a funny one

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

Increasingly the main difference between the ALP and the LNP is that if you describe the things Labor are doing they get very offended
The last time I wrote about this I copped the biggest whinge fest from the then (Labor) minister’s office about how they weren’t cutting the budget lol
That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years.
"Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third."
This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government.
