This is so fucking funny. What does curing an ideological bias even mean? Do we need to solve for having a moral compass? Is your life goal to be an inhuman appraiser of facts and nothing else? Are there just 2 competing ideologies and that’s it? Such an American media brain take. Dumb as rocks.

I’m genuinely curious what the red line is for these otherwise Greens voters is when it applies to Labor. Shoebridge supports civilian aid to Ukraine, but not military assistance which props up the same defence contractors that send weapons to Israel.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

It’s so funny that Labor supporters see a party membership who has some respect for the person elected to be their party leader and think “That’s exactly like North Korea!” Meanwhile all dissent in their own party has been quashed and the party entirely captured by mining and media magnates. lol.

This point, from my recent interview with @perrybaconjr.bsky.social for TNR, is so crucial. Trans people are desperate for relief from the relentless Republican attacks impacting all of us. When Democrats move right, they signal relief may not be coming, and that engenders a lot of despair.
And so for Democrats to say, They have a point on some of this, it is engendering a lot of hopelessness and a lot of fear in the trans community, because we have been just trying to hold on, hoping that this time would end and we would be able to get back to where we were five years, six years ago. And what Democrats are signaling is, like, No, we’re going to keep things as they are, and maybe even make them worse.

So when libs say, you need to do incremental progress like gay marriage, it completely ignores the rollbacks that have happened in 5 years. It is every aspect of trans life from where we use the bathroom, how we are addressed, what our IDs say, to even censorship on discussions about our existence.

A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."

One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.
A network graph visualization on a dark background showing connections between various accounts. The central, highly connected node is labeled "J.K. Rowling," with lines radiating out to many other nodes color-coded by region (UK, US, etc.). A detail panel on the right displays stats for her account, including her role as "Author & commentator," an in-degree of 153, an out-degree of 84, and 14 million followers.A scatter plot graph on a dark background comparing accounts based on "followers (log)" on the x-axis and "in-degree" on the y-axis. The data points are color-coded by region. J.K. Rowling is highlighted as a major outlier in the top right corner, possessing the highest number of followers and the highest in-degree. Other labeled points lower on the graph include various politicians, individuals, and campaign organizations.

For people wondering why the fringe Right AJA (whose founder David Adler also co-founded Advance) is summoning Iranians, read these. Advance & AJA are linked with a collection of astroturf front groups pushing Zionism & against Greens/Labor. Overlap with climate disinfo. Drawing in Iranians. #Auspol
The Minority Impact Coalition (MIC) is a creation of the QJC. Alex McKinnon has reported some of the extremity of that body's social media posts. The Australian depicted the group as a grassroots immigrant movement against Labor and the Greens.
Bacon and Aharon have tracked down loose connections of various kinds between Advance with the Zionist-affiliated groups. QJC accepted help from Advance. QJC's MIC has claimed very limited connection with Advance. Better may have had early plans to work in cooperation with Advance. Bacon and Aharon have noted that Advance or AJA boost the social media posts of these micro bodies, creating the only occasions when their posts achieve traction. This suggests some degree of cooperation.

@markbutlermp.bsky.social this is a true invitation. Come on my Dollars and Sense podcast. I'll bring my daughter and you can explain why she needs her funding cut 25% like this eg in your bill's explanatory memorandum
Example - Omar
Omar has an old framework plan with $40,000 in the Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation budget. The Minister could make a determination that the funding component for Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation will be reduced by for example 25 per cent. The Minister would have to consider participant safety when setting the determination.
After the determination is made nothing will change for Omar until his plan is next reassessed or renewed.
If Omar’s plan is renewed, the amount that he can spend on community participation supports under his new plan will be the funding amount set in the new plan for community participation reduced by 25 per cent. This means he will have $30,000 in his Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation budget.
If Omar’s plan is reassessed, the reasonable and necessary amount for his community participation budget will be determined by the delegate as per usual processes. If the delegate determines Omar’s new plan should have $35,000 in the Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation budget, the 25 per cent reduction will apply so that $26,250 (75 per cent of the reasonable and necessary amount for Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation) included in Omar’s new plan will be available for him to spend.
