Opposition to data centres is surging while investor scepticism is mounting. It’s a rare combination, one reflecting the failure of the data centre industry to demonstrate benefit. Indeed, for many Australians, AI is a classic “economic reform” that offers dislocation while corporations profit.

Very Trump like by ON to have no respect for other people’s intellectual property. I bet Gina Rinehart would sue the crap out of anyone using any of her companies’ trademarks without hesitation though

@mark-carney.bsky.social What is it about Israel that makes you refuse sanctioning it?

"Most Israeli Jews now see the world the way Netanyahu has long seen it. That is Netanyahu’s great victory. But it is matched by his great loss: Much of the world now sees Israel the way Gazans see it" www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/o...

The Catholic Church of course came up with the original version of this scam. You ask people to chuck a bit of coin on a plate that will make them feel better about being self-centred, and that structurally will do bugger all for the poor, while keeping your own money for yourself

Want to know why Scott Morrison & @albomp.bsky.social are pushing for a submarine acquisition program so NOT in Australia's interests? As with all modern #ALP & #LNP policy decisions, follow the 'job for life' (aka: ferociously well paid 'consultancy') money trail. c.org/6fjqdY9pMj #auspol #AUKUS

This is a great episode from @janfran.bsky.social , pulling apart the PM’s “turning the temperature down” bullshit while we are gaslit about who is actually turning the temperature up. Including himself, grinning in selfies with the world’s inflamer-in-chief.
