The choice isn’t between Christian nationalism and “atheistic globalism.” It’s between a free society with equal rights and a theocracy ruled by religious zealots. We cannot let Christian nationalists take away our constitutional freedoms.

If you're wondering why Flock leaves cameras up after a contract end, part of their business model and marketing strategy is being able to advertise that their customers can access data from cameras all over the country. You may have canceled your contract, but the cameras still fuel the system.

If the NSW government REALLY cared about coal workers it would pass the Future Jobs and Investment Bill - which they have delayed since March. It’s a transition plan for workers as mines close because everyone (except our Government it seems) knows time’s up for coal & gas.

Mark Textor: yep, seriously! One way or another, AICR has a significant get in Textor who, as part of Crosby Textor (now known as C|T Group), has been one of the most influential pollsters and strategists in hard-right conservative politics for the past two decades. Further, AICR has former Kevin Rudd press secretary Lachlan Harris. Harris came to public notice when he was forced to apologise to Brendan Nelson when he and another Rudd staffer joined the crowd that turned their back on the then-opposition leader during his response to Rudd's apology to the Stolen Generations in 2008. The AICR board also features longtime John Howard adviser Tony Nutt.
Nothing says "we're not messing about" than the engagement of some hard-headed political messaging experts from both sides of the aisle.
