I wonder if the government has ways of confirming that the $400 billion we're giving the US, is even going to the shipyards that are supposed to be building our subs. Or is it going towards a genocide, or buying oil from Russia, or building new weapons of war, or into the Trump family pocket.

David Shoebridge scolds Labor, LNP & One Nation saying it’s a “disgrace” they’re voting against Thorpe’s bill to ban shackling of women who are giving birth in custody. “Ask yourself what you would have thought, if you…your partner…your daughter was shackled to the bed.”💥

Do you think these people who make big decisions & are so breathtakingly financially comfortable have any real idea how other people are experiencing the world? Do they lack empathy, or are they ignorant of how biting & brutal the 'cost of living' (WHAT a phrase) is for so many people?

Mehreen Faruqi is a truthteller. But the Australian political and media establishment can not handle the truth on Israel and Palestine. So they will continue to label her as "radical", "extremist", or whatever works to defend the genocide-enabling status quo. #auspol

The Labor Government promised Parliament that it would step up its advocacy against executions worldwide, so now they need to show they mean it. Silence from the Prime Minister now exposes the terrible truth that our national principles stop where the US alliance begins.

Allowing Open AI to call these “rogue agents” lets them dodge responsibility - they made them, directed them and set them free without caring about the consequences. Our laws need to catch up to hold them accountable before worse happens.

Crikey comments. Albanese should be worried … but if he’s looking for someone to blame and point the finger at, I suggest he doesn’t look at David Shoebridge, but rather the unprincipled figure he sees in his mirror.

Posts like this should go through an open, merit-based appointment process. Instead we get a captain’s pick from Newscorp HQ. To be clear, Newscorp is a multinational US corporation with interests that do not align with those of the Australian people. Appalling stuff.

There is nice long historical precedent of fossil fuel companies volunteering to regulate themselves, if you want an insight into why big tech is spinning up so many criti-hype narratives about itself right now commonslibrary.org/tactics-used...
6. Develop Corporate Alternatives to Policies 
As popular understandings of climate change have increased, fossil fuel companies have needed to move their position from outright denial of climate change to keep up with community and investor expectations. It is often no longer enough to ignore or deny climate change, instead companies have needed to create the appearance of action.

Integral to this tactic is companies creating self-regulation, internal climate policies and voluntary codes of conduct, for example voluntary net zero goals, that help to placate investors and critics while pushing off attempts at real government regulation (Ekberg et al., 2022, p. 34; Wright & Nyberg, 2015, p. 85). In this way they aim to appear as model corporate climate citizens, without having to commit to more concrete actions. Nyberg and Wright have called this a tactic of ‘predatory delay’ in which “the fossil fuel industry seeks to slow the process of decarbonisation to maximise their financial returns in the short term while appearing as concerned corporate citizens” (Wright & Nyberg, 2021, p. 119). In this way, companies can continue to prioritise profitability and shareholder returns. 

This in turn allows corporations to promote ideas of green capitalism and market-based solutions to the climate crisis. In these scenarios, the government moves from the role of regulator into one of facilitating and supporting companies in their pursuit of green capitalism (Wright & Nyberg, 2015, p. 87). This creates win-win narratives, where companies and governments can continue to pursue endless growth, push off effective decarbonisation, all while maintaining the image of climate action.
