Hey #auspol you can’t arrest your way out of a climate emergency.

Although here on Horseshoe Beach, this morning you’re giving it a good try. #ClimateAction #RisingTide

I know it's a Sunday morning #OurABC, but do you think this story really is a 'top story'? By your algo metrics almost certainly. It's all about the 'engagement' isn't it? Clicks drive content remember, just like the Herald Sun taught you!

Absolute scenes at Rising Tide today as police chased a group of octogenarians in a dinghy who were trying to stop a coal ship.

They stopped the coal ship.

Simply obscene levels of largesse to spend on executives and less than nothing for student or staff welfare. ANU are sacking academics and professionals.

ANU spent $605,958 on Chancellor Julie Bishop’s office in a high-rise glass tower in Perth last year and $473,455 to the end of September this year. The university paid at least $800,000 for renovations to the office in 2021, and rent amounted to $15,000 a month. FFS!!

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

It’s that time of the year again when Australian companies celebrate the fact that it’s almost the Friday after a pilgrim thanksgiving holiday in America by providing discounts to unrelated goods

Well fuck that

We’re raising our prices by 10% and donating the difference (+ an extra 15%) to charity

I wish them luck but I don't know how their challenge is gonna go, in terms of them not having voting power and as such, shutting down their implied right to political communication doesn't effect the maintenance of representative democracy.

I've been using #MS365 #Copilot at work to create royalty-free images for an online course. Just to break up the text and insert some colour and life. Today it can't do that in the most hilarious way.

Yes, I'm new to #GenAI and still use pleasantries; No, I don't treat it in a sentient way (yet).

It’s all about power for the sake of power and keeping that power firmly inside a duopoly that imposes IDEOLOGY and not SOLUTIONS

Voters trapping themselves in a cycle of low expectations, mediocrity and the status quo because politicians insist

And voters have no alternative vision

The new standards “send the message that the US no longer believes in the foundational element of the human rights system it helped build.”

How are those "shared values" going @albomp.bsky.social ? #auspol

Last night @davidpocock.bsky.social and I read onto the Hansard an interview by the President of Nauru that the Albanese Government has been desperately trying to keep secret.

It shows Nauru plans to send refugees to places they fled. No wonder the secrecy.
