It will just end up with the Government playing Whack-a-mole. Whenever they ban a particular site, a new one will pop up that isn't covered by the age ban laws. Not even all existing social media platforms appear to have been considered in the current legislation.

Had to turn off ABC TV news as they were just platforming Trump's blatant lies without any fact checking.

Journalists should stop interviewing liars. Since liars lie all the time, what new information are we really learning by interviewing them? You’re only platforming their lies.

Donald Trump just got a COVID booster at Walter Reed, per the White House physician.

Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

'Trumpenstein' has an even more Halloween feel to it.

Trump's lackies will know this year's award is based on nominations received in January but have made sure he continues to push the case for getting the 2025 award. This way, when someone else is named, they can stir up the Maga base and his cronies to try to undermine and discredit the awards.

My goodness. John Denver was doing well and bringing it in with albums that week.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Nice work Jim Watson, nice work.
A photo from yesterday’s Trunp Cabinet meeting. Taken from a low position the decorations on the wall behind the orange felon make him look like he has devil’s horns.

Getting very tired of news outlets - including ABC News in Australia - directly broadcasting Trump lying and not highlighting this. Yes, the newsrooms will indicate that they know his statements are hyperbole but not everyone listening understands that. This is how disinformation becomes 'fact'.

The long-term consequences of devaluing the entire Nobel Prize establishment would far outweigh any short-term response from Trump. It would put into question the veracity of every prize in every category from this year onwards. Also, the prize is awarded for work in the preceding calendar year

School structures (eg multiple classrooms, uniform mandates etc) and the curriculum are particularly difficult for neurodivergent kids who are simply expected to conform to the system rather than having an education that is inclusive and equitable.

The article highlights reasons for homeschooling include bullying, school refusal (avoidance) and neurodivergence. For many kids, it is most likely all three. The issue is not with the children nor their parents. Rather, the problem lies with the current school system that let them down.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

New in PN: Trump attempts a major step toward dictatorship

"So far, nothing he's done has prompted a critical mass of Republicans to speak out about his abuses of power. And in his address to military brass, Trump signaled he intends to go much further."

He's going for it. Who will stop him?

President Trump said Monday that he would impose a 100 percent tariff on foreign movies.

It is unclear when any of the tariffs would take effect, what specific goods they would apply to, and what legal authorities Trump would rely upon in imposing them.

Trump’s latest tariff threats target foreign movies and furniture imports, citing national security concerns and alleged theft of the U.S. movie-making business.

Netanyahu says he did not agree to Palestinian state as part of Trump Gaza plan, and IDF will remain ‘in most of the territory’ – Middle East crisis live
Israeli PM discussed his meeting with Donald Trump in a Telegram post, while a senior Hamas official has said the group is studying the proposals * What’s in Trump’s 20-point peace plan for Gaza? In a video statement published on his Telegram channel discussing his visit to the US, Benjamin Netanyahu said the IDF “will remain in most of the territory” as part of the plan drawn up with Trump, and that Israel did “absolutely not” agree to a Palestinian state. Netanyahu said: It was a historic visit. Instead of Hamas leading to our isolation, we turned the tables and isolated Hamas. Now the entire world, including the Arab and Muslim world, is pressuring Hamas to accept the conditions we set together with President Trump: to release all our abducted – both living and dead – while the IDF remains in most of the territory. Absolutely not, and it is not written in the agreement either. But one thing we did say: we are firmly opposed to a Palestinian state. President Trump also said this; he said he understands our position. He also declared at the UN that such a move would be a huge reward for terror and a danger to the state of Israel. And of course, we will not agree to it. “We can’t keep silent, nor look the other way, when confronted with so much devastation, with the bombing – even of hospitals, schools and places of refuge – or with so many deaths among the civilian population, or with the famine and the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of people – to what end?” Continue reading...

I do feel for parents whose kids have been tragically impacted by bullying and other negative impacts related to social media. However, for other kids, social media is a lifeline to support and a safe means for interacting. What do we say to their parents when that lifeline is removed?

Don't get me started on the social media ban. Unfortunately, the esafety commissioner and the govt seem to have been blinkered by just one side of the argument.
