  1. Not Reporting A War Part 2

    Pete Hegseth is the Peter Principle applied to the largest weapons arsenal in human history. Pine Gap guides the missiles. Australian-made F-35 parts are in the payload. And our media calls it a partnership. Part Two of Urban Wronski’s investigation into what Australia’s press is not reporting, and what our silence is costing.

  2. For Australia The Price is Always Right

    The War They Sold Us, The Bill We’re Paying Dr Andrew Klein is right. The War They Sold Us, The Price We Pay, Australia has quietly signed up to another illegal war on Iran and, with customary discretion, sent the invoice straight to its own citizens. We are already paying. At the bowser. At the checkout. At the chemist. The meter is running long before the government has bothered to explain why it switched it on. Even if it could. This is how modern war arrives. Not with declarations, […]

  9. So I'm sorting out a few tweaks to a couple of my final mix master tracks for the first of hopefully 10 albums I intend to release via #Bandcamp.

    Over the last 3 or so years I began compiling the tracks for my 10 albums although some of the later tracks are not quite finished and all of them need work and mastering it has been a personally exciting project to work on.

    Each album is chronologically ordered and contains songs, recordings, remixes and/or fresh versions of songs from or about each time period.

    The first of these 10 albums, #Kiwifruit covers a period between 1985-1989 and was remixed from a range of sources from desk recordings at live gigs with #Wellington band #TheLaundrettes fresh recordings of songs that were written during this time period beginning 40 years ago #crikey an early recording of #BumpnUgly engineered by Brent McLachlan of #BailterSpace and Wrythe Studios fame plus remixed and reimagined tunes from my early 4 track recodings.

    Kiwifruit will be available on Bandcamp from Mon 1 Dec #Aotearoa #NewZealand Time.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    Corrosively brilliant article.

  25. Bernard Keane written this same post a dozen times about different governments without ever explaining why the problem is excessive spending rather than inadequate tax revenue #auspol #crikey revenue.crikey.com.au/2025/06/25/nsw-q

  26. CW: Auspol Katter

    Thanks to #crikey for airing this one (are they on the fediverse?)

    “A lot is about freedoms. We can't go to the creek and have a swim because they are crocodile-infested. We can't go spare diving or anything like that any more. It's very hard to find anything we're actually allowed to do.”

    The 79-year-old after being asked by Channel 7 what his main takeaway from this election was.

  27. @VoordeMus

    Oh, FFS - I hadn't realised they've done that. I lost respect for #TheGuardian generally because of their pro-establishment campaigning against Corbyn. I have been making a monthly contribution (not subscription) directed to #TheGuardianAU, but partnering with #OpenAI and buying into #genML hype is a red line for me.

    On #TheGuardian and #OpenAI, here's a little from #Crikey:

    crikey.com.au/2025/02/20/guard

    Sorry, @VoordeMus - are the lay-offs separate or explicitly linked?

  28. #fossilfuel #trump #sovereignty #defence #pbs #crikey #BernardKeane

    It’s likely to lead to a series of vexing questions: does Australia back the appeasement of Russia? Will it back US colonisation projects if they occur? Will it back the US turning its back on European allies? Whither the Five Eyes when Canada and the UK are targets for US aggression? And what happens if Australia becomes, like Canada, the next ally to feel Trump’s wrath, to have the vice president backing One Nation, demanding the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme be dumped and US fossil fuel companies given special tax treatment?

  29. @camwilson I have to ask - why no mention of Mastodon?

    Delighted to see Johan heading up journalism at Monash - was privileged to learn the craft of radio from him as a media student many, many moons ago at Murdoch Uni.

  30. Anybody know what's going on over at #Crikey ? I've tried to subscribe with an age discount, but they said they were having problems with new subscribers and would get back to me. Crickets so far. I'm very keen on supporting #independentmedia but I'm getting impatient. #auspol
