I love #Eurovision but I've not watched the SBS telecast since Israel began its #GazaGenocide. Please support boycott.eurovision.au as they urge SBS to cut the mic on genocide. Here's the link to their petition on Change.org c.org/cVkHXqCyLx

New social security laws allow payments to be cancelled for people with outstanding arrest warrants, even if they have not been charged or convicted, raising serious concerns about justice, rights and harm.

Over the past year and a bit, Australia's grid operator has moved data centres into their own category, and you can REALLY see why: here's their projected consumption and the range between scenarios, compared to the middle scenarios for ALL EVS AND ELECTRIFICATION

It is remarkable how all of these things seem to have gone mostly unremarked, or if not unremarked, then sort of shrugged off as irrelevant
To me, it's the spectacle of a predatory industry feasting on infrastructure that was meant to be used to eliminate fossil fuels, and killing climate progress
