Have there been ANY consequences for Israel murdering Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom? Have there been ANY consequences for Israel physically and sexually abusing Australian humanitarians on the Global Sumud Flotilla? Now imagine our Govt's response if Iran had committed these crimes. #auspol

Remind me how failed intelligence leads to providing a specific squad “bigger guns?” Maybe improving the skills of the federal intelligence agency, not the state police. 🤔

Also, this government never sides with powerful lobby groups over regular Australians. There’s no examples people can point to of that!

Immigration is vital to our economy and our society. It’s entirely appropriate that we discuss it sensitively and constructively, but we should also celebrate our migrant history and our diversity.

Yes. If it’s being openly advertised on Instagram and discoverable by ordinary folk in shops, I think it’s fair to say that enforcement of the existing law is subpar.

Energy nerd Christmas was yesterday, with the release of the Australia's official energy data for 2024–25. I think the share of Australia's gas being sent offshore hit a new all-time record high for the year, which is neat unless you are running an Aussie business or home that uses energy.
Australian gas production and use in the 2024–25 financial year
As with every other year in the past decade, Australia produced far more gas than it used in 2024-25.

76.5% of all the gas produced in Australia shipped overseas via one of Australia's 10 liquefied gas terminals. Another 8.3% of all the gas produced in Australia was burned by those gas export terminals and their supporting infrastructure to produce, process and compress that gas for export.

Well under one-fifth of the gas produced in Australia went to Australian users of the fuel. Gas exporters burn more of their own product preparing gas for export than any sector of Australia's domestic economy.

"THE MACHINES COULD EXTERMINATE ALL HUMAN LIFE. EVERY SINGLE PERSON YOU KNOW AND LOVE IS AT RISK. NOTHING HAS EVER THREATENED THE SURVIVAL OF OUR SPECIES MORE THAN THIS TECHNOLOGY." So unplug it. "noooooooo but we don't want to lose moneeeeyyyy I like having moneeeeeeyyyyy you guuuyyyyssssss 😭😭😭"
"On Tuesday, the Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon announced his resignation, warning that Anthropic and OpenAI were gambling with human life. “Do not underestimate the power of this technology,” he wrote in a post on X. “These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight and acquire real power and resources.”

“This is not a marketing stunt,” Mr. Coxon added.

Evan Hubinger, Anthropic’s lead for alignment science, soon responded. “Jacob is correct here — we really do earnestly believe A.I. could kill all humans!” he wrote. “I personally think it is >10% within the next decade.”1. Shut it all down, now.

The obvious way to prevent A.I. from killing everyone is to issue a global ban on A.I. research. The problem is that our society has already gambled more than a trillion dollars on A.I.’s upside, so a ban would have ruinous side effects. The stock market, concentrated in tech, would probably plummet. Data center operators would miss payments on loans, potentially leading to a cascading series of defaults. Tax revenues would nosedive and many people would lose their jobs. It would be ugly.
