One thing we don't tollerate in Australia is upsetting racists. And man, do we have a lot of easily upset racists.

What short memories some have. A pandemic with mortality rates that scared the hell out of doctors & overwhelmed health services overseas. Painfully hard decisions that govts of both persuasions had to make on the spot. 2020-21 were traumatic, but could have been far worse.

We have to reject the self-mythologising of the technology sector. "AI" is not sentient machines. The "dark web" is not an secret parallel internet. These are all mundane technologies developed by people and legal entities who can and should be held to account.

oh my god

It is worth noting that not one thing Petaren’t Dutton announces on nuclear will bring down the cost of electricity in the next 3 years. He slams Labor for failing to deliver $275 what is he promising?

lol here we go. Dutton, while not even in govt yet, is somehow going to build an entire nuclear industry from scratch (sites; expertise; waste; approvals; funding etc) in ten years.

dutton's team weren't able to succesfully get commuter carparks built when they were in government, but they'll build seven uncosted nukes in 11 years, sure.

Wow Ted O’Brien, Dutton’s energy genius on abctv is now a champion of government owned utilities. Smells like socialism. The Americans would claimed it’s “Commie madness”

Michael Rowland Petaren’t Dutton Senator Penny Wong Bridget Brennan My god this is embarrassing Michael Rowland It's like we're living in an alternative reality where overwhelming facts and evidence don't matter anymore The only thing Dutton is building - the only thing - is a culture war over energy This is about votes and headlines, that's all

As usual, we are livid that one of our episodes is relevant again.

Is no one going to comment about how it spit out a woman in a bathing suit speaking at a tech conference or

Australia has a proud record of welcoming refugees from war - Vietnam, East Timor, Bosnia to name a few. A sad day when a blanket ban is demanded by Petaren’t Dutton - tarring so many with one brush, rejecting the security processes he once oversaw #auspol abc.net.au/news/2024-08-1…

Big win for post-liberal politics and economics. Also for measles, mumps, polio, and tooth decay.

So just to be clear, y’all’s transphobia did, in fact, result in a woman being attacked by a man in the women’s bathroom.
