Are you anti abortion? Anti LGBTQI ? Hate migrants? Hate Muslims? Believe women are a subspecies to men? Congratulations. The billionaires, fascists, authorisations, fossil fuel industry, mining, tech bros are playing you. It’s called, ‘Divide et Impera’. It’s been used since Alexander the Great

Every anti-trans attack is a repeat of the homophobic attacks of the 1960s,70,80s. Every transphobe is a bigot. I have also yet to see a transphobe who is not also racist. The media's coverage of trans hate has been used to make all kinds of bigotry acceptable

Rental laws are absolute BS that are geared to benefit landlords and steal more $$$ from renters. A family member has managed to buy a house (yay!!!) but has to break their lease. They just received an email specifying they basically have to prop up the landlord until they can find a new tenant.
As you are breaking your lease you will be liable for the following:

1.Rent until the date a new tenancy commences, or 4 weeks past the return of the keys.
.2.A Pro Rata portion of the letting fee for finding a new tenant for the owner.  
(Break Lease Fee)
3.A Pro Rata portion of any Advertising costs for a new tenant.
4.Any other costs under original lease vacating conditions.

'Power is its own constituency. It exists to protect itself.' Authoritarianism sounds scary, but it arrives bit by bit. We're already doing the work for some grim future. Will be talking about this and more at Sydney Opera House's Curious program this Sunday. www.crikey.com.au/2026/09/28/r...

Don't think Australia is immune to authoritarianism
Nobody wakes up to sudden authoritarianism. We relinquish ourselves to it by allowing our favoured government to get away with bending norms and rules. Over time, these bends become clean breaks.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

New Zealand faces $4bn in damages a year from natural disasters made worse by climate change. When faced with being taken to court, the country's biggest emitters wrote the law to make the claim go away—a tactic borrowed straight from the United States. New from me in @drilledmedia.bsky.social.

Anyway, a reminder. Fuel Tax Credits over the next 4 years will cost the Govt $47bn. The savings from the cuts to the NDIS is $38bn. Gillard in 2010: "Budgets are about choices, and you show what you value through the choices you make" Indeed.
