This is a victory for the public good + total vindication for NSW ICAC & the late David Ipp QC. High Court rejects Obeid/Macdonald appeals against their wink nudge $multi-million corruption conviction. Now .. if only NACC would get cracking on federal corruption.

Have we finally reached the stage where Americans realise Trump 🍊🤡 is a lying criminal? Rapist, thief, liar, bullying incompetent.
He’s going to reluctantly agree that his government needs to compensate him with $10bn of taxpayer funds
Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 and now wants $10 billion because a leaker pointed that out www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

The Supreme Court now understands the need for an enforcement mechanism for ethical obligations. Not for the President or for their own code of ethics, of course; this is more of a “snitches get stitches” enforcement for staff members.

44 days past the legal deadline, the DOJ still hasn’t released the full Epstein files.

That’s not a delay. It’s defiance.

They know what’s in them. What they’re weighing now isn’t review. It’s the fallout.

The US has deluded the world for years that it was a beacon of democracy, when it wasn't.

Other countries reinforced this delusion for political reasons (security & economic).

Australia is still trapped in this delusion with AUKUS.

Over 100 countries are calling on Australia to explain why we lock up kids as young as 10.

But we don't question ourselves?

Nor so we take one sliver of a second to acknowledge that the reason why a kid has even gotten to a point of getting 'arrested' & then presented to a court & then sentenced

theconversation.com/why-the-voic... It would be far-sighted and intelligent to adopt many ideas put forward in this article. I still hope there are enough people in Australia who want to see First Nations people survive, flourish and succeed in a manner that improves our country and their lives.
Why the Voice referendum failed – and what the government hasn’t learned from it
Both over-confident and under-prepared, the government has kept repeating its mistakes, diminishing the chances of meaningful reform in the process.

And this is Israel.

And, at one of the protests, voicing our 'opinions' about Herzog's visit at the invitation of PM Albanese, on Feb 9th, SHOULD be all of us.
@albomp.bsky.social is 'urging protestors to show restraint' when Herzog visits.

I think @albomp.bsky.social should frame this memento of Israel's work in Gaza as a gift for Isaac Herzog and present it to him during his visit.

Would seem fitting. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust
