AFTINET convener Dr Pat Ranald has written an op-ed in The Guardian about Clive Palmer's claim to be a Singaporean investor being dismissed by an ISDS tribunal. While the result is a welcome one, it also highlights the absurdity of the ISDS system.

"Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the “Freedom Party” (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties."

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

The ACT government’s early push to 100 pct renewables is looking like the smartest policy of all – with one wind farm paying consumers $50/MWh in the last quarter.

Disgraceful letting Ryan Milgate put the boot into the BOM without Ali Moore on 774 ABC stating how many times they DO get it right. It's an incredibly complex task to predict the weather, especially rainfall, reliably. A little more homework and respect wouldn't go astray, Ali.

It’s all part of #TheirABC propaganda. Of course Ali mentioned they were decimated of expertise during #Morrison #government and that the #ClimateCatastrophe has changed weather patterns so their old models no longer work. #auspol we need to monitor our weather more than ever. #auspol

Junior staff have mixed feelings about the promotion. “It’s depressing but also kind of inspiring,” said one analyst. “I’ve been here three years and still haven’t been noticed, but the AI falsified one report and got a corner office”.

The AI has already started making its presence felt on the executive team, sending out a 500-word email about “leveraging holistic verticals for client-centric uplift” that no one has fully read but everyone agreed “sounded important.”
