My latest piece! ✍🏽 “A country is not a corporate portfolio. Indigenous rights are a critical line of defence against unchecked corporate power. When the elements of life that we depend on are treated as assets to be unlocked, everyone and everything, except the investor, becomes expendable.”

I understand that funding bodies want to go all in on AI as the shiny new innovation thing. But if all the grants start going to AI at the expense of everything else then the research sector is going to end up looking like a farm with dozens of threshers hacking away in a field with no wheat.

It's telling that every homeless person, even sober, is automatically a sign of "the drug problem." But belligerently intoxicated tourists — a far worse danger to those of us living and working downtown — somehow never are.

Worth repeating, the 'tough new visa rules' were designed specifically for care workers and their family members. If it's not going to work for them, it won't work for anyone else caught by the cruelty of the rules. Bin the whole thing.

A measure of 'living standards' that is driven down by wealthy people paying more capital gains tax, instead on being based on numbers of people hitting minimum standards, is actively misleading.

Labour are persecuting immigrants and feeding right wing narratives not because the working class want it but because 1) They have nothing else to offer a working class they intend to let down in every other way. 2) They genuinely struggle to battle with a far right that owns most media platforms.

The idea among even centrist liberals that this tough moment is “the right time” to treat marginalized people even worse than we do already neatly underscores the callousness and inhumanity of the political and media class in this country. Status for all. Full rights for all.
