I think @davidshoebridge.bsky.social is right. I can't see how a failing democracy's considerable armed forces on our soil - particularly when the President of that benighted country uses his military forces against his own people, can do other than threaten Australia's security #auspol #aukus

More and more Australians are seeing through the spin, and working out that Australia being a US base for B52 bombers, nuclear submarines, marines and spy hubs is making us less safe. Much less safe.

I have asked many people in politics, government, advocacy and law about the legal basis for mutual obligations. And they will...often be able to tell me about their legislative basis. Which is not what I asked.

The NACC has over two hundred employees and an annual budget of over $60m, but has yet to land a single major finding from over 5,000 referrals.
The pressure is rising.

Does the NACC have any hope of regaining public trust?

Judith from Mosman is spending $500k to stop four-storey apartments near public transport. Not to fix the housing crisis, just to keep it out of her postcode. The problem isn’t migrants. It’s people like Judith deciding who gets to live near a train and who gets to commute for two hours.

They all passionately support a rapist and proud serial sexual predator— there are no longer any disqualifying issues as long as you’re a loyal Republican.

It’s a white male chauvinistic cult where white Republican men can say and do whatever they want.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

To be clear, the top software markets in the world are US, China, Germany, the UK, France, and Italy and this data is from the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. The product is also not meaningfully different functionality wise under the GDPR from what I know. This is really bad folks!

I would really love to hear an AI booster’s opinion on this. This is the first real proof we’ve had that OpenAI’s growth is slowing, just in time for Clammy Sammy to demand a trillion dollars. He’s a very nasty man and not even the Europeans will pay for his software!
