I want to talk to you about Palantir and its expanding footprint in Australia. TLDR: You should be worried.
This US surveillance tech company has secured multiple Defence contracts worth over $11 million. We need transparency about what data they're accessing & why. 🧵

There’s a lot to be said for living in a country where 99% of people have zero gun-handling skills. And for being able to go about your day/week/year without ever having to think about anybody’s gun-handling skills.

The US exports twice as much to us as we do to them. Time for some retaliatory tariffs.
First up: American cars.
Our streets could benefit from fewer shit-house stupidly large 'pickup trucks' that don’t fit in standard car parks.

“In Wannon, if today you donate $1,500 to Liberal MP Dan Tehan, your donation is tax deductible. If today you donate the same to independent opponent Alex Dyson, it is not. Dan has a copy of the electoral roll; Alex has to pay tens of thousands for the same info.”

Hey, Americans (and everyone else!): peaceful, democratic and not-insane Australia may have a job for you, especially if you work in healthcare.
Why not bring your qualifications, skills and experience to a country that appreciates them?

TIL that frogmouths are actually close cousins to nightjars. Makes sense when you think about it, but until I was today years old I always thought of these gorgeous birds as part of the Australian owl family. These were busy pretending to be tree branches along the Merri Creek, Naarn, Melbourne.
