I remember having a UBI. It was called “living with my parents,” and I had all my food/shelter needs covered, plus free access to a (shared) TV, music, books, a library card, cars I could borrow and more.
I still worked drudge jobs, because I wanted to buy lots of comics and take girls to movies.

Always grinds my gears when people say "No one would work drudge jobs if there was a UBI"
But even staying completely capitalist, I disagree. If I received a baseline living-wage UBI, and then I was offered REWARDS for drudge jobs, I'd take it! I want to save up for treats and travel and hobbies!

The Albanese Government is about to rush through a bill which, Australia Institute research shows, would fast-track 94 new fossil fuel projects.
This will undermine environmental protections and lock in emissions for decades.

It will absolutely not work as promised (because reliable age assurance/estimation technology does not exist), it will actively harm children, it will compromise the privacy of Australians, and it will be oppressive for a range of Australians who cannot safely verify their identities.
One year ago this week, Labor introduced its social media ban for under 16s, ramming it through parliament in 7 days - such was their keenness
A year later, just 19 days before the laws come into effect on 10 December, the government was still finalising details

Labor has brushed aside concerns over the social media ban. But what if it doesn’t work as promised?
If Meta, the world’s biggest social media company, expects problems after a year of preparation, then what should the rest of us be expecting?

"theft tech" is a term my pal @astra.bsky.social thought of just today when we were working on our book about these End Times Fascists.
We were thinking about what should happen when this this bubble busts, as we all know it will.
