How do we remain an advanced nation if people are afraid to do higher and further education?

Abolish the HECS system and cancel existing debts.

Israeli's siege-come-annexing of Gaza really is the physical manifestation of the Global North annexing part of the Global South.

Dad passed away yesterday, after a long battle with dementia.

Mum is shattered after 62 years of marriage.

There are two public holidays in the next fortnight, so organising with be that bit more disjointed than otherwise.

@gnoll110 I’m picking him up from the kennel tomorrow so expect he will be glad I have not abandoned him

British anarchist punk band Chumbawamba has demanded New Zealand deputy prime minister Winston Peters stop using its number one hit Tubthumping at his rallies and events because the band opposes the populist politician’s agenda.

Israel's response to the ICJ emergency ruling.

"The UN did 7 October"

Well, here we are.

Nations cutting UNRWA funding means more starving and then dead Palestine. Which bring us back to South Africa's original accusations.

LOL, Macca is in Tamworth.

He finds an Aussie living in German at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.

Macca start an anti-immigration diatribe about Europe is being overrun by disorderly rabble. The Aussie German shuts him down, talk about harmonious integration.

The Voice For Victims group in Queensland seems to be a lynch mob. An obsession with crime and punishment?

I wonder if they have LNP links?

Never hear them talking about forgiveness, prevention and more resources of social service.

"Australia went to war in Iraq based on ‘oral reports’ to cabinet from John Howard"

This is why we need to move to publishing cabinet papers after 30 days*.

Queensland Labor may be looking old etc.

But consider, most of Campbell Newman's former protégés are still in the LNP, and there have been no purges. If anything the party has moved further to the right. Ie one of my local [state electorate] branches passed a motion that everyone on social security should be put on Indue's Cashless Debit Card before the last Fed. election.

Ok, so one on the bankrollers of the No Voice campaign was the guy that brought Covid back from Aspen. They decamped from their Toorak mansion to their Portsea weekender, were they were seen out and about.

@gnoll110 So predictable. Whenever you follow the money on this kind of crap you wind up with wankers from top to bottom.

Yer, there were people who dropped in $20K to $100K, some times multiple times to just maintain the status quo.

Did you hear about this yesterday.

After ensuring Indigenous people are in as weak a position as possible when dealing with miners... #kaching

Michael Pezzullo entered the public service* in 1987.

Paul Barratt entered the public service* in 1966.

What a difference 21 years and Reaganomics makes.

  • Both entered via the Dept of Defence.

@gnoll110 Parkinson is a nearer contemporary and more in the Barratt mould. Reaganomics a sure influence, but Pezzullo's megalomania and belief he is smarter than everyone else more the root of the problem.

The nature of Pezzullo's criticism of Parkinson in those messages is telling: either you believe in my worldview or you are a fool.

There's a reason Parkinson is respected as a quality public servant and Pezzullo is known as competent but not loved.

The first of the five great mass extinction events may have been caused by an asteroid impact twice the size of the one that caused the Chicxulub impact.

Where: under the modern Murray basin, at Deniliquin, NSW. Australia. Then part of the Gondwana continent.

More dating needs to be done to confirm or repute the link.
