  1. The case for a blatantly discriminatory Australian voting system
    By Bernard Keane

    Older Australians are overrepresented in every sphere of life, from politics to the economy and media … and they’re living longer. It’s time we stack the deck in favour of young people. Here’s how

  3. #BernardKeane is not one to mince his words and in his latest tirade, aimed at the Department of Defence (#DoD), though uncontroversial, is a tell-tale dig at #AlboPM ‘s govt entrenched #Secrecy and #Opacity bordering on a #Conspiracy to cover up anything that might tarnish the already low esteem we have of it.

    “With the Defence budget to grow to more than $60 billion over the next four years, the lack of transparency and accountability around often spectacular procurement and contract management failures means taxpayers have no faith the department can competently administer such large sums effectively, or that it can do so honestly. The determination of a dominant government that has no meaningful opposition to suppress anything inconsistent with its cheery narrative guarantees billions will continue to be wasted.”

    Like hot concentrated acid poured onto (don't try anything like this a home kids) magnesium powder.

    Haven't finished reading yet.

    Good summary from #BernardKeane of what's at stake and how urgent it is for our politicians to understand this is not "business as usual".

  27. CW: Payman triggers a racist upwelling from deep in the political media psyche. Why has Fatima Payman elicited such a ferocious reaction from our mainly white media and political class? The reason points to the lie behind 'social cohesion'.

    @msdropbear42

    That's an excellent summary from #BernardKeane. The constant othering of Muslims (and fearmongering over China) is so sad, puerile and destructive to us all.
