David Littleproud has justified turning his back on First Nations ppl in the Regions claiming the Voice will NOT apply to
“Indigenous Australians” in
“Regional, rural & remote communities”

First he says he hasn’t seen any details, now he’s moved to just making up the details 🙄

@stufromoz yeah. It's a little slow, but it'll be back in a bit. Just a few minutes lags.

Twitter is *very* broken today. Web interface is completely unusable. Mobile app glitching but semi working.

Twitter's head of product/engineering also just quit.

Coincidence?

There hasn't been a third round of voting for US House Speaker since 1847. That's 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙡 𝙒𝙖𝙧.

What a rabble the Republicans are. By all means follow them off that cliff, Australian L-NP ...

The quality of journalism seems to be at an all-time low right now.

Headline: "Chief Medical Officer says no 'sufficient public health rationale' for COVID testing of Chinese travellers"

Me: That's an interesting take, let me read the article to find out why he thinks that.

The article: Professor Paul Kelly said any additional measures on Chinese travellers would be "inconsistent with the current national approach to the management of COVID-19 and disproportionate to the risk".

Me: That explains nothing, unless he's admitting that the "current national approach to the management of COVID-19" is to do absolutely nothing whatsoever, in which case, yeah, I guess that makes sense.
