It’s hard to take the Coalition’s calls for a Royal Commission into the Bondi incident seriously after they fiercely opposed a RC into their illegal Robodebt scheme, then refused to apologise even after the damning findings confirmed Australians lost their lives. #auspol

Podcast Jay and his merry band of COVID contrarians only understand grievance politics.
They do not deserve to return to academia or be welcomed back to normal society. They are weird losers abjectly failing at their responsibility to this country, and deserve to be treated with scorn and contempt.

It’s astonishing that NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya has this level of insight about the administration he currently serves. /s

Silicon fascism and the parallel state are coming for every western democracy.
Liz Truss, who served 44 days as UK prime minister, goes full Curtis Yarvin.
Interviewing Yarvin on her new podcast, she calls for overhauling UK government to fit his vision.
“I agree with you, having spent 10 years in the system, you need to start from scratch,” Truss tells Yarvin.

There’s only about 120,000 Jewish people in Australia
But their lobby is disproportionately powerful
This is EXACTLY the sort of thing I’ve alluded to multiple times on social media
It breeds resentment, then guess what?
Another rise in anti Semitism, that’s what

It's a systemic attack on both the means of climate action (evidence-based facts, the written / spoken word, visual communication) and the ends (trying to stop fossil fuel use). I think it's starting to sink in, now

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

Gun crackdown and controversial protest laws to be passed in NSW despite Coalition split over firearms
NSW Nationals to oppose gun law reforms introduced in wake of Bondi attack, as Greens say protest laws are ‘draconian’ and may be unconstitutional
Gun laws will be significantly tightened and protests restricted for up to three months in New South Wales at the behest of the police commissioner, under an emergency set of laws introduced to the state parliament in the wake of the Bondi shooting.
The bill is being debated in the lower house on Monday and is expected to pass the lower house on Monday afternoon with the support of the NSW Liberal party, and pass the upper house on Tuesday. Continue reading...

Which was more likely to incite antisemitic violence: weekly pro-Palestinian marches attended by hundreds of thousands of citizens, or the televised devastation of Gaza? It's a fair question, but even asking it may soon be illegal.

Truly pathetic.
The type of performance that has your colleagues start doing the numbers.
Not just stupid, but stupid politics - gives Albanese an easy chance to show himself as a leader and take the high road.
Most voters don't even know who Ley is. So this will be their first impression
