  3. CW: Australia/World Politics - Israel

    The #AustralianGovernment is yet again "deeply concerned" about its citizens taking part in the Global Sumud Flotilla instead of actually acting to protect them by denouncing Israel, expelling the ambassador, and sanctioning Israel and any connections supporting the genocide.

    Australian politicians talk big but consistently fail to do anything on the global stage worthwhile.

  6. Audiobook player with non-essential buttons blanked out.
    Used electrical tape front and back.

    Humanware supply a "shield" which blanks some buttons.
    But Pitch, Speed & Eject buttons still add unnecessary complexity.

    Device is from the "disability aids" industry, so very overpriced.
    But paid for by the #AustralianGovernment as part of DEI. (They don't call it that - but the Trumpists know what it is.)

  8. The Australian Government has a central digital records system called My Health Record.

    Anyone in the medical system have an intelligible take as to if this is worth the privacy costs to be sharing health info into a central health record.

    Im weighing up the benefits of "medical staff being able to access my records in a time of high need" vs future versions of the state using this information to discriminate / make decisions in the background that are not in the individuals benefit.

  10. Not a peep from Australia's mainstream media! The Accountability and Corporate Transparency Coalition has praised the Australian government for passing world-leading tax transparency laws. These laws will require many large multinationals, including up to half of all major U.S. firms, to publicly report country-by-country tax and financial data for high-risk jurisdictions linked to profit shifting and tax avoidance. A big step forward for accountability!

  12. @augustusbrown

    Is this the I'm reading this as the first sledge-hammer level change in the public service that would act to prevent future #RoboDebt-like illegal actions by the #AustralianGovernment.

    Show me what I've missed.

    #HowManyDied

    I'm not counting the $3000 fine that could be applied to Australian public servants who refuse to give evidence.
    AIU that' s around $1.50 for each RoboDebt death. FU #MarkDreyfus.
    And, AIUI, they could just quit and avoid the fine entirely.

  14. CW: robodebt, self harm

    So how did it come that allegedly some 2000 #Australians killed themselves?

    Where is the official government account of how #RoboDebt lead to their death?

    Does the #AustralianGovernment even acknowledge the pivotal role that the Robodebt scheme had in these deaths?

    Has it taken the steps necessary to stop the harassment, bastardry, authoritarian thuggery, #WagesTheft and #HomelessnessRisk brought by #ServicesAustralia, #Centrelink, the #HomeRentalIndustry etc etc?
