To those who somehow don't seem to understand: Which part of authorising weapons sales to a state committing genocide, banning the protest movement trying to stop these sales, using the RAF to provide surveillance flights for Israel and providing major diplomatic and media support is NOT complicity?

Provide a multi-agent AI system with the task of putting an end to climate change and to complete this task in secret without letting the software engineers know what they're doing, then, when the dust settles, see how many of us are still alive to tell what happened back in 2026 on planet Earth.

Disappointed???? Don't be such a wimp, Albo. Hacking into Medicare is a serious criminal offense. Gaining unauthorized access to any government system violates federal cybercrime laws under the Criminal Code Act 1995. Sam Altman should be proscuted under the law. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

David Shoebridge doesn’t hold back on NACC’s Kylie Kilgour after she draws a complete blank on the three measly CDPP prosecutions actually secured on their watch “You’ve only had three…and you can’t even remember them?” “You’re the Acting Commissioner!” “You’re doing nothing”🔥

Ed Husic’s attempt to recognise claims of genocide in Gaza failed to gain support for a debate at Labor's national conference. As Julia Gillard once wrote, Labor conferences are at their worst when anything controversial is swept under the carpet. The ALP needs to be better than this, much better.
