Moana @moanatribe.bsky.social · 06/05/2026I remember when I started out in journalism and my wonderful Producer Colin McRae said you have to remember to be fair, accurate and balanced. So for the government to not tweak but get rid of the BSA - with no meaningful engagement or robust rationale - is neither fair, balanced or accurate. 311137

Moana @moanatribe.bsky.social · 11/01/2025I mean I don’t know how useful it is doing submissions (just done my first ever two) but on the upside it (1) I’ve learnt a new skill (2) it really gets me across the issue (3) helps me figure out what bugs me most about said issue (4) & feels like I’m part of a groovy new club. Morning clubgoers! 3974
Moana @moanatribe.bsky.social · 11/01/2025And the Regulatory Standards bill completely fails to walk its own talk in terms of transparency with all its redacted bits. 030

It shouldn't be difficult to oppose all imperialism: US/UK imperialism that led to the catastrophic wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Russian imperialism visited upon Ukraine. Chinese imperialism, targeting Taiwan .... Yet some people cannot oppose one without siding with others. 55710
