Australia

History books in a few years time will have a chapter "The Sook" discussing PM Albanese' legacy. A government with so much opportunity to make a positive difference, yet choose to do nothing but normalise the worst of what is happening today. The current parliament has no vision, no ambition for the nation, and worst of all does not care.

Not enough talent and too many snouts in troughs.

The battle for human attention is becoming a battle for democracy

After US courts found Meta and YouTube liable for deliberately addicting young users, attention is increasingly being recognised not as a private commodity, but as a strategic resource shaping democracy, public debate and social stability.

People are still struggling to pick the lies that we need to take seriously, and those that we need to reject.

#Auspol @[email protected] Your RC should discuss this. This is why our amazing Jewish Community in Australia wrongly face hate in Australia. #Israel is the key

in case you are wondering why the govt is not rushing to give concessions to start ups. Fred from Sorrento, a high income earner visits the pub, recruits 3 or 4 people for his "start up" to get the concession. Money comes in and goes out, and the concession is claimed. There is a huge industry of lawyers and accountants devoted to ripping off the Australian taxpayer. #auspol

Petition for Australia to have taxing billionaires AND pollution instead of a gas tax, which only increases gas + pollution. Let's do this, @firstdogonthemoon !
