  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.

  3. 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.

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

    Haven't finished reading yet.

    The problem has been documented from as far back as 2017 but the calls by privacy activists have fallen on corrupted ears.
