I’m Australian living rurally on the land of the Taungurung people. Believe in science, love all types of music, love my family and grateful for all of the authentic, decent, kind and caring people in my life. I don’t post much

I've been trying to find a way to demonstrate that even if AI is fully 'green' or 'frugal' it's still rife with serious ethical and moral failures having my corporate accountability analyses machine-plagiarised by a company selling sustainable AI services has kind of done it for me

He must live in an exclusive bubble. We really need to reform the senate if that's the quality we are getting. Maybe mandatory resumes and background checks at a minimum. That's what most employees have to do. I think these guys should be held to a higher standard and face harsher penalties.

Menzies overnight 1965 intro’d taxpayer funding for private schools, to wedge ALP/ALP catholics. No public discussion, no govt ‘White Paper’ prepar’n, no advance cabinet discussions. We are the only one of 38 OECD countries that massively fund private schools. Others - books, science equipt maybe.

Extraordinary attack from ABC management against the most senior elected union representative at the ABC - Labor should be speaking out against threats by ABC management against Michael Slezak and the MEAA. Critical thinking, critical writing, should never be weaponised against staff at the ABC.

The ABC’s new head of news Simon Robinson is staring down the barrel of a staff revolt just four weeks after joining the public broadcaster, with its union committee labelling a threat of disciplinary action against a senior journalist an attack on press freedom.

The ABC’s Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance house committee called an urgent meeting for its members on Monday after Michael Slezak, who is also the federal president of media at the union, was threatened with disciplinary action over a piece he wrote in The Australian Financial Review.
