JFHC can you imagine what history Sky News and Abbott come up with?

It’ll start off like ‘255 years ago in 1770 when Australia was discovered’

Jacinta Price has lashed & accused the ABC of not providing enough coverage on the assassination of Far Right advocate Charlie Kirk. Takes issue with ABC referring to him as a “Far Right advocate”

Pfft. ABC wouldn’t shut up about Kirk. And yes Jacinta, he’s far right, like you. #Estimates

Epic gaslighting by Labor - the Coalition is irrelevant, so choosing to negotiate with it is just political cover for failing to do the right thing

Hey lovelies: here's part 2 of my @crikey.com.au series on Meta's massive new effort to wildly worsen their climate damage but mask that by lobbying to change the way emissions are measured.

IT IS EXTREMELY SNEAKY

Inside Meta's fight to change climate reality... all so it can frantically expand a risky AI program

Everyone is ignoring the science on what Meta’s generative AI investment really costs, even though there's no evidence of a single, significant societal benefit.

So - let me get this straight…

They’ll ban social media for under 16s even though most experts say it WON’T work

But they won’t ban gambling advertising & other key recommendations even though most experts say it WILL work

The fact Wong thinks she can just snark her way out of this is a sign of how normalised the relationships between politicians and lobbyists have become.

Like, of course the PM shouldn't be president of a registered lobby group that sells corporate members access to politicians? No shit??

Crikey @crikey.com.au · 1d

Independent Senator David Pocock and Labor's Penny Wong clashed in Senate estimates yesterday over whether the Parliamentary Sports Club could be considered a lobby group, as reported in Crikey last week. The club is registered as such, and lists Responsible Wagering Australia as one of its clients.

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics

Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient

And that's a profile in cowardice
