Millions of moths have descended on the suburbs. When will they leave?

I saw my first ever Bogong moth on the weekend, it had journeyed south in my partner's car as he'd been at Jarvis Bay (south coast NSW). I'd love to be in the middle of this migration

In NSW, people are noticing bogong moths have been appearing in any crevice they can find, and staying far longer.

Not an expert but I thought the Medicare hack by Anthropic was to a government portal at least Article paywalled: www.innovationaus.com/anthropic-op...

Anthropic does not believe its products have breached Australian government systems but would be open to Australian laws requiring AI companies to disclose data breaches, company executives told an Australian parliamentary inquiry on Tuesday.

"There are some serious and important questions that OpenAI will hopefully face, including but not limited to why it lets its AI have access to the open internet without safeguards or close monitoring." @cameronwilson.bsky.social Questions no less crucial for governments who should set safeguards.

We've had "a budget that cut the NDIS by around 12 per cent in real terms, in a nation where people on Jobseeker die up to 10 more than those not on welfare" says @grogsgamut.bsky.social . But too many corporates pay little or no tax. #inequality #auspol www.deepcutnews.com/p/news-corp-...

This one is a bit odd. For years, Canada Customs seized pretty much any queer books entering Canada. Little Sisters Bookstore, a frequent target, took them to court. The arbitrary nature of CC's seizures was holding a shipment of this book based on title alone. They thought it was about sex.

Book cover:

Jane Butel's Hotter than Hell
Hot and Spicy dishes from around the world.

It probably does, they just haven't said it that way (I haven't read their stuff, I try no to)

It is all to try and protect their votes from One Nation instead of being compassionate, kind and not total arseholes.

All this to say - the current "be tough on immigration" bullshit is just that, total bullshit. We're a wealthy nation who can afford to shelter and support asylum seekers and other migrants. We're just a bunch of racist arseholes who don't want to

or whatever the equivalent today is... it's set at 80% of Job Seeker... which is already below poverty levels. This means that asylum seekers (and other visa subclass applications don't have this) are a very vulnerable group from an employment standard and at risk of wage theft, modern slavery, etc

for different reasons. People on bridging visas may not have permission to work, which means that they can't afford to rent, eat or access medicine without assistance from family, friends or the community. If they get access to the Asylum Seeker's Assistance program (if that still exists)...

You can't cut the number of visas available in any given year and also reduce the number of bridging visas without also massively changing appeal rights (which would be overturned by the courts). If anything, this is going to create more people on bridging visas, which is a problem...
