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.

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.

#AUKUS is the new Coal & Gas for former parliamentarians jobs.

Chris Pyne, Joe Hockey, Dolly Downer, Joel Fitzgibbon, Kim Beazley, Julie Bishop, Andrew Robb, Sophie Mirabella, Amanda Vanstone, Mike Kelly, Brendan Nelson, Arthur Sinodinos, and of course, Scott Morrison are all arms dealers

A long day ahead for the #auspol #JSCEM tomorrow as they open their public hearings with the AEC, two think tanks, a former MP, and two academics.

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.

Fossil fuel subsidies now dwarf Australia’s disaster fund and exceed the balance of its housing future fund... yet the polluters still get VIP access.

We should be willing to sacrifice Billionaires and Oligarchs since they are willing to sacrifice the planet and humanity for short term monetary gains.

Reform of NZ’s protected lands is overdue – but the public should decide about economic activities

Changes to New Zealand’s conservation laws could delist up to 60% of protected areas. There are better ways to balance ecological values with economic gains.

Intrepid Travel is the latest company to back away from carbon offsets in its climate action plan.

It’s been proven time and time again that a significant percentage of carbon offset programs lead to ZERO reduction in real emissions.

NSW ICAC was widely condemned by politicians & the media after they took just under 2yrs to conclude their investigation into Gladys Berejiklian’s corruption.

Is anyone condemning the NACC who after well OVER 2yrs is still investigating Robodebt? Why not? #auspol

Accessing info via technology online.
Having a phone in your pocket 24/7
Manipulable dodgy software, products being sold that are super flawed.
Mostly unregulated environment.
Technology gives psychopaths an open door to children.

Miners to get an early look at Labor’s new green laws

The Albanese government will give mining companies and other stakeholders draft extracts of its environmental protection laws before they go to parliament, as Environment Minister Murray Watt tries to rebuild trust after earlier negotiations on the reforms collapsed in acrimony.

I like this ICE reporting acronym much better than prior ones: “CLEAR.”
C - count
L - location
E - equipment, incl clothing
A - activity
R - report time

Graphic from Oregon Worker Relief and Oregon For All:

Reporting ICE activity?
Be CLEAR!

Count: "3 officers, 1 van"
Location: "SE 2nd & Morrison, Portland"
Equipment: "Blue uniforms that say ICE, white van unmarked*
Activity: "Officers are checking IDs"
Report time: "245pm, Feb 2"

Share facts, not fear.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance

Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.
