One technology, two terms according to whether you’re on the white team. ‘Smart glasses’ if you’re on team Zuckerberg, ‘pervert glasses’ if you’re team China. Was this headline assisted by ABC’s embrace of Anthropic in news production, or was it a human decision?

October 11th - NT govt plans to displace ~150 people 100km out from Darwin – risking access to jobs, family, health & community services. Labor must urgently fund Darwin’s Yilli Short Stay Accomm to prevent its closure, as I've written in a letter to relevant govt ministers.

MACH Energy’s Mount Pleasant thermal coalmine expansion in Muswellbrook ruled invalid by the Australian High Court. NSW planning commission didn't show how to mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions generated when the coal is sold & burnt overseas. #nswpol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

#AUKUS is a costly, stupid and strategically dangerous investment in US sycophancy. But what has got not enough publicity is that the "ludicrously overstaffed Australian Submarine Agency" has "1,200 people and growing". How many staff does it take to send money overseas? #EndAUKUS #auspol

One Australian state just decided to get rid of its diesel buses and go fully electric. At the same time, another Australian state decided to rip up its plans for electric buses and go back to diesel. Can you guess which states they were? thedriven.io/2026/10/06/o... #auspol #qldpol #springst

One state opens new tender for hundreds of electric buses, as another state decides to go diesel

Victoria opens tender for hundreds of new electric buses, less than a month after Queensland ripped up its own plans and decided to buy 630 diesel buses instead.

Like so many in Australia's media class, Karvelas extols "the sensible centre". A mindless cliche that only protects powerful interests and the neoliberal nightmare, fails to fix rising #inequality, #poverty and the #ClimateCrisis, and fuels One Nation and #FarRight. aka toxic centrism. #auspol

Something that can't be unseen is the sheer popularity of racism in Australia— there's a massive slab of the electorate who are so deeply, reflexively AND consciously racist that they're perfectly willing to trash the economy, rule of law, and countless people's lives to see racist policies enacted.

The biggest coal mine expansion ever proposed in NSW has been approved by the Minns government. It threatens to wipe out Australia's emissions reductions. This is a major test for Anthony Albanese and Murray Watt; they cannot provide federal approval to a project of this scale.
