Incredible to see the #RBA pontificating on people “not understanding interest rates” for being the reason nobody trusts them. Not the decades of policy error after policy error only making things worse. 🤦‍♂️ […]

The media really out here trying their darnedest at making us feel sorry for people who own multiple houses rather of people who own zero houses is really quite baffling

One really big thing I want to see in my lifetime - the mainstream acceptance that the central bank *simply cannot* fix inflation by raising rates. It’s utter lunacy and it hurts millions of people. And it just doesn’t work […]

@jerry Hey didn’t realise you were taking over ioc.exchange! Things have been really broken for me at least the last few days though - most profile images aren’t loading and I also can only see 3-5 posts on Trending whereas before I would see dozens and dozens of posts there, I liked to scroll […]

The Onion wins again

A tweet by New York Times PR saying “We have appended an Editors' Note to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza who was diagnosed with severe malnutrition. After publication, The Times learned that he also had pre-existing health problems. Read more below.”

AB article by the Onion is responding saying “'New York Times' Issues Apology For Reporting Palestinian Deaths. Published October 10, 2023”

Even now, the story is "Labor was forced into this by the fossil fuel industry" No: Labor and the fossil fuel industry are ideologically aligned. We know this BECAUSE THEY CONSTANTLY SAY IT OUT LOUD

Line at the early voting at St. Stephen’s Coorparoo is *massive*! All the way around the corner and down the street. Moving fairly steadily at least though.

So well put by George Monbiot. Applies to our tepid Labor government here in Australia too. People don’t want to be regarded only as economic units, and if you block leftist reform they reach for hard-right chaos. "The democratic recession does not begin when a far-right party takes office. It […]

Good read. "Trumpism, whether full-strength or in the watered-down form seen in Australia, is not an answer to the failure of neoliberalism. But until centre-left parties can escape the mental prison built by decades of soft neoliberalism, it is what we are likely to get." Neoliberalism is […]

News Corp in Australia are running campaigns to try and incite violence towards Jewish people, and film / report on the incidents - this attempt was botched and now the internal documents planning the provocation in News Corp's system are leaked @crikey.com.au www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/14/n...

The company’s internal database also includes photos taken by photographer Rohan Kelly, including one of Cairo Takeaway owner and restauranteur Hesham El Masry. The file also has instructions describing the assignment brief:

Meet Gussy at Holt Street call on arrival at 9am and head to Newtown for 930am. Undercover Jewish man Ofir Birenbaum sees what it’s like being Jewish in Sydney. Will secretly film with his video glasses. The aim is to walk down main streets in Newtown, Blacktown, Bankstown, Arncliffe (might not do arncliffe it the worst perhaps) and film peopls reactions to this jewish man in their neighbourhood. Needs discreet photos of the guy walking down these streets to accompany the yarn. Speak to pic desk for a brief.

A News Corp source told Crikey that by the morning of February 13, the story had no further progress in News Corp’s backend beyond having had photographs uploaded to it under embargo.

News Corp specifically has been one of the main sources of violence, abuse, tension and disharmony in Australia. Hateful people, hateful company. They have both a profit motive and an ideological motive to stoke hate in the community, and they have gotten pretty good at it

Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young says it's a "disgrace" the social media ban bill has been "railroaded" through the parliament by the two major parties. She says the reason it's being rushed is because Dutton and Albo are worried if people knew the consequence they wouldn't support it.

Albanese is such a coward. "Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has intervened to scupper a deal with the Greens over environmental reform that Labor promised at the last election, addressing business concerns but circumventing his Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek. "This masthead has been […]
