So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact.

When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

Dump the ****ing Duopoly

Why 'unjust' electoral finance laws threaten our democracy
Challenging the laws supports Australians’ right to real choice at the ballot box – it's about ensuring elections remain open to competition.

The Australian Government's own Gas Market Review finds Australians face gas shortages because that very same Australian Government allows multinational gas corporations to export 4X more gas than Australia uses every year.

Oh, and they give them most of it FOR FREE.

What has Labor done with its golden opportunity in this term?
Net zero, says @johnquiggin.bsky.social. I agree.
Absolutely nada of any substance.
Labor delivers net zero (policy achievements)
Legislation so far in second term adds up to zilch

“We will not let Japan down”, promised the Australian Govt last year in Nagoya. And it hasn’t! It’s introduced a prospective gas reservation policy that instead lets Aussie families and businesses down. No electricity price relief. Total betrayal! #auspol

I quote from Andrew Tate’s X profile:

‘Unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavour.’

Erm…
This is certainly not the case when it comes to boxing Andy.

And of course - it’s produced by independent media with a real expert.
