"We can solve it as a nation here in New Zealand. It really is a political choice," he said. #nzpol #homelessness #housing #politicalchoice #vote
The only question AI is going to settle, whether governments get around to asking it or not, is whether the democracy you live in thinks you are a citizen to be protected or a cost to be externalized. And whether you're prepared to keep quietly accepting whichever answer your government has already chosen for you.

This has long been a bugbear of mine and it is good that the Bondi RC is looking into it.
“Royal Commissioner Virginia Bell flagged the inquiry had received a number of submissions from some Jewish people and others who believed the definition of antisemitism the inquiry adopted could be "weaponised in order to suppress criticism of Israel".
It doesn’t take a savant to know the difference between #AntiSemitism and the various flavours of #AntiIsrael, #AntiZionism, #Anti-Ultranationalism, and #Anti-NetanyahuRegime, yet arguably smart and competent peeps seem to have a hard time of it; in particular most political leadership in Australia. Which can only mean one thing. THe conflation of all these terms is a #PoliticalChoice made by fully rational decisions. The question then remains: Why is it so?
I suspect that power and wealth has a lot to do with it along with egocentric, not to say narcicyst, tendencies.
