How can we ever believe this outcome, after NACC had to be forced to investigate Robodebt?

Every action from Canberra over this has been about kicking the can down the road, trying to diffuse responsibility, sitting on their hands hoping people will forget. Now NACC is coming out with the most predictable outcome possible: punish a few bureaucrats but leave the politicians who designed and enthusiastically oversaw the scheme unscathed.

I am so sick of our political class in Australia. They don't care about people, or what's best for Australia. They only care about protecting their own. The NACC is just another accomplice.

Nothing they say will convince me Scott Morrison isn't culpable for Robodebt. He was the minister for social services, he oversaw the scheme. Our most vulnerable citizens suffered, struggled and died because of him. He bears ultimate responsibility.

So lovely to run into @martinfeld today, a nice nudge to share this from @samhenrigold:

Australian politician Penny Allman-Payne criticized her government’s stance on Iran, highlighting what she described as hypocrisy in warmly hosting Iranian female soccer players while endorsing or overlooking US-Israeli airstrikes that harm civilians in Iran.

A 10/10 repairability score doesn’t happen by accident. Lenovo’s newest ThinkPads prove that laptops can be powerful, durable, and actually repairable.

Swappable batteries, modular parts, and one of the easiest keyboard replacements we’ve seen. Learn more about what makes these laptops amazing, at the link below.

Albo should firmly commit to Australia NOT being involved in Trumps war on Iran, including Pine Gap, Exmouth, and the Northern Territory base.
None of this “we haven’t been asked”, just say No.

Here we go again.
‘The Albanese government has offered support to the US president, Donald Trump, and Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.’ (Source: The Guardian - Live)

What is the bloody difference between Putin’s aggression in Ukraine, Israel’s genocide in Gaza and agression in the West Bank, and Trump’s war on Iran? What? What is the difference on the ground? What is the difference in International Law? What? Where is the moral ground? What putative reason exist to warrant any of this?

And Australia, in bipartisan show of support for this illegal action, falls in line once again with the US Hegemony. I’m not proud of our govt or our opposition right now.

Zohran Mamdani had +38 approval upon his election. In under 2 months he’s:
•Secured universal childcare
•Paid New Yorkers $30/hour & survived a blizzard without disruption
•Remained wholly honest about the massive budget crisis NYC faces
•Demanded Hochul tax billionaires instead of working people
•Got Trump to commit $12B to NYC for affordable housing, and
•Did it ALL without corporate money

His approval is now +48.

Almost like working people love public servants who fight for working people.🤯
