It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

It's not at all staggering just how authoritarian, right-wing, gaslighty and pro-establishment this ALP government is. That's long been the trajectory. What's staggering is that so many people refuse to see it.

Neoliberal UK Labour continues to create unemployment with demented fiscal rules. A party for working people it is not. @aaronjbastani.bsky.social @owenjones.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Inflation targeting by central banks doesn't work. Fancy that. Time to dispense with the sham of mainstream economics.

Great news! The govt will finally introduce local content rules for streaming platforms. This is a huge win for Aussie stories, jobs and our screen industry. Proud to have stood alongside actors, creators and so many others who helped push for this outcome. It’s a great day for Australian stories.

The govt promised local content quotas for streamers back in 2019 – but 55,000 Aussie screen industry jobs are still at risk. France, Italy and others have acted. Why hasn’t Australia? Sign the petition to #MakeItAustralian and #SaveAustralianStories

Absolutely wild. Israel targeted and massacred 31 journalists and media staff in Yemen. The second-deadliest attack on journalists ever recorded. The Israeli regime is built on war crimes.

Fascinating shifts in thinking in Japan, and shows how careful central planning and fiscal understanding can reshape society, albeit at this stage, modestly.
