Australia is not like America. We won't tolerate the oligarchy of billionaires running our government, paying no tax and laughing all the way to the bank. Dutton mimics all of Trumps policies including to sack public servants and give the work to consultants at 3 times the cost.

BREAKING: In a new executive order sent out by the White House, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.

Subjecting graduates to an anti-abortion speech at what should have been a celebration of their academic achievement said all I needed to know about the hypocrisy and ideology underscoring ACU. A place of higher education and critical thinking is simply incompatible with the Catholic church.

Watching some of my favourite TikTok creators in the US giving what they expect to be their last livestreams is a hard watch. They're young, passionate, gifted, internationally-minded - and a lot of them are about to lose their livelihoods.

It has found no corruption.

That Meta/Facebook/Threads/Instagram/ has said that hate speech rules that still apply to others don’t apply to LGBTQ content a few days after Joel Kaplan took over as head of Global Affairs is not only a measure of Zuckerberg’s dank soul, it is a clear indicator of what is to come from GOP.
