We turn to academia & the fourth estate for scientifically rigorous, evidentially based, objective & unbiased knowledge. The reason very few right wing attitudes are found in universities or quality journalism, is because most RW ideas aren't scientifically rigorous or evidentially based.

Reporting today confirms large quantities of Western Australia’s domestic gas reserves are being exported via Woodside’s North West Shelf project, and the federal and Western Australian governments are letting it happen.

It's unbelievable, and unforgivable, that any politician would attempt to weaken our democracy by stifling freedom-of-information.

Let alone a Labor Prime Minister.

@albomp.bsky.social you can now hold your head in shame.

It’s great to see the cross bench coming out early and with strength opposing the Govt’s evil #FOI Amendment Bill. Here’s @helenhainesindi.bsky.social’s amendment killing off the ability of the Govt to charge FOI applications fees and for officials to summarily dismiss FOI requests. #auspol

Should Donald Trump be thanked for the Gaza ceasefire and hostage releases?

Instead of thanking the US president, perhaps people should be asking: why are the hostages only coming home now?

Editorial: A decade ago, it would have been unthinkable for a man who led the country to go and shill for a foreign military. Decency and clearance would have restrained it. AUKUS is less a security partnership and more a one-man superannuation scheme. satpa.pe/2kRfq9r

The one-man super scheme

Of all the things Scott Morrison does not understand, and the list is long and often embarrassing, somewhat in the shape of his prime ministership, China would rate very close to the top.

I think a decade of LNP, including NSW LNP with selling off public housing, might have more claim to that legacy!
But sure Labor has not been that much better.
