the unions could also join this campaign to stop prison guards from shackling women during childbirth. If prison guards wanted to refuse, they could make some noise. Same with strip searching. And solitary confinement of children. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

An immediate reaction is to say the Albanese government has learned nothing from #robodebt. But perhaps they have learned only too well how to punch down on welfare recipients with onerous, cruel and illegal conditions. #poverty #inequality #RaiseTheRate #auspol
Why does the government insist on trying to recover blood from a stone? If they want to aggressively recover so-called debts from people who've relied on Centrelink payments, they should at least wait until they can actually afford to live. @kristin8x.antipovertycentre.org on the latest debt BS

The utterly sociopathic entitlement of these tech freaks. Nvidia, Microsoft and Cisco has given the UK government a 12 month deadline to quash public outrage over data centres, or they will... flounce off with their debt? Go on, then. Off you fuck. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

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

If the platforms were legally responsible they might be more responsible. Reclassification as publishers will do it. Not everything but certainly something
Clare O'Neill : "These platforms are profiting off people treating each other with disrespect, anger, aggression and abuse, then they play dumb at the devastating social effects that are happening across the country."

The issues that sent young French people into the streets are are just a more extreme version of what is facing Australians. #auspol
The French government’s brutal response to legitimate anger is only raising the temperature in a country simmering with rage, writes a French analyst. "Protests were a predictable consequence of a population ignored by its political elite." www.deepcutnews.com/p/frances-pr...

@albomp.bsky.social learned how to deceive the electorate from Scott Morrison, then bettered the lesson. What is the point of Labor? #auspol @australianlabor.bsky.social
The ombudsman agreed that the government failed to learn the lessons of #robodebt. But it's the opposite. For #agedcare, #NDIS, #jobseeker payments & employment services, the Albanese govt has learned precisely how to apply cruel, arbitrary & dehumanizing policies to the most vulnerable. #auspol

The real AI apocalypse is not about robots messing with the power grid it is AI destroying the minds of kids, who, with educators pushing these tools, are at real risk of loosing the ability to write independently.
"AI can draft an essay for you, especially if you give it a high quality prompt." Really? This is what MIT thinks high schoolers should learn? MIT's "Day of AI" dayofai.org provides materials for K-12 teachers and claims to have reached over 5,000,000 students to date. 1/2

The Australian political & media class may read this and smugly think: 'We're not as bad the US'. But all the signs are that, without real change, we are heading in a similar direction. And as grievances build, we will need far more than "civility" to maintain a fraying social contract. #auspol
American capitalism killed American democracy. Fail to admit that and it doesn't matter what election results may bring because we won't be able to fix the real issues that are hurting us as a country. davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/america-is...
