    This is were it’s going. The public service making demands on what should be a fully transparent process of public scrutiny. Our appointed officials seek to minimize their responsibilites to the public and side-step accountability. why does this smell like #tRumpism ?

    “On Friday, Defence deputy secretary Celia Perkins began her evidence before a senate inquiry into asset sales by the department and Australian military with an embarrassing manoeuvre.
    'In closing, I would note for the record that the Defence witnesses appearing before the committee today are pleased to take your questions but do not consent to the reposting of our evidence to social media sites or the reproduction of our likenesses for purposes outside the framework of the parliament and the transparent public proceedings of this committee,' she said.
    This is the parliamentary equivalent of copy-and-pasting one of those Facebook privacy 'disclaimers' that your least tech-savvy uncle posts as a prophylactic against all the rights he has already signed away by being on the platform in the first place.
    Greens Senator David Shoebridge was incensed, as he should be, and immediately sought a ruling on the gormless demand.”

  6. Senator #DavidShoebridge, with this article for deepcutnews.com, might just have identified the nexus of our communal discontent. Else, he neatly summarizes a major source cause of our collective populist anger. Might this be the ralying cry that the #Greens sorely need? The means to bring about the downfall of our *tired* two party dominated political system?

    “This is the political struggle of the moment: galvanising the 99 per cent into a people-powered political movement to resist and take back power from the 1 per cent.”

    While #PHON has already tapped into this amorphous electoral anger, it has done so, knowingly or otherwise, without pointing back to the backers behind their emotive political messages. In my view, that is where the Greens ought to make a difference and increase their piece of the electoral pie.

  17. #Greens’ Shoebridge on #Iran strikes: ‘#Labor knows it’s illegal’

    Greens senator #DavidShoebridge has accused Labor, the #Coalition and #OneNation of being the “three war parties”, and criticised the government for “rushing” to back the strikes on Iran.

    Speaking on his amendment to the Coalition’s motion, Shoebridge doesn’t hold back, saying the three parties have “never seen an attack by #DonaldTrump, an attack by #BenjaminNetanyahu, that they haven’t wanted to back in and support”.

    “We have seen the #Albanese Labor government rush to be the first country in the world to back in Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu’s latest #illegalwar, literally rushing to back in a war that Labor knows is in #grossbreach of #internationallaw.

    There’s a reason that the foreign minister has refused to discuss, even discuss, whether or not this war is illegal. It’s because Labor knows it’s illegal.”

    Shoebridge accuses the government and opposition of being “reckless” about the consequences of the #bombing on the Iranian people.

    “I can tell you that the mums who are pulling their kids out of the rubble, they don’t see freedom. They’re not talking about #regimechange. They’re grieving about the loss of their kids, their daughters.
    They see through your endless support of war … they see their country potentially being thrown into chaos.“ #auspol #TrumpRegime #RogueNation #uspol

  25. CAUGHT IN THE CRUNCH: The Surveillance State Comes to Your Local Supermarket

    Walk into any Coles outlet today and you're not just buying milk. You're feeding a surveillance machine processing 10 billion rows of data through Peter Thiel's Palantir Technologies. In early 2024, Coles signed a deal to deploy Palantir's "Foundry" platform across more than 840 stores, analysing every transaction, every worker's movement, every shift allocation. Workers across Victoria are monitored, with one shelf-stacker in Ballarat saying: "The computer knows where I am before my manager does."

    “So the 50-plus contractors who contribute parts to the F-35 fighter jets that are currently being used to drop bombs on the Palestinian people in Gaza, none of their exports you count as weapons?” Shoebridge asked in a Senate hearing.
