The Robin Byrd documentary on #hbo is really good. I was a little young when her show was on the air but I remember finding it a couple of times. It was as "New York" as it got.
It's also very scary to realize we're seeing censorship of the media still as a major issue some thirty years later.

Australia - Public good
We have many laws making people accountable for their actions. We also need a mechanism to ensure governments are accountable for their actions. An assurance that government is acting in the interest of people, and not putting other agendas above the welfare of the general public.

A federal judge refused Friday to block the #Pentagon from firing 3 #StarsAndStripes staff members who claim they were illegally disciplined for speaking out about the #military news outlet’s need to maintain its editorial independence.
Judge Trevor McFadden, who was nominated to the bench by #Trump ruled that the #journalists are unlikely to successfully prove that the Pentagon violated their #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech rights.

A quotation from Abraham Fortas
Any departure from absolute regimentation may cause trouble. Any variation from the majority’s opinion may inspire fear. Any word spoken, in class, in the lunchroom, or on the campus, that deviates from the view of another person may start an argument or cause a disturbance. But our Constitution says we must take this risk, and our history says that it is this sort of hazardous freedom — this kind of openness — that is the basis of our national strength and of the independence and vigor of Americans who grow up and live in this relatively permissive, often disputatious, society.
Abraham Fortas (1910–1982) American academic, jurist, lawyer; US Supreme Court Justice (1965–69)
Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503, 508 (1969) [majority opinion]More about this quote: wist.info/fortas-abe/13226/

Australian Housing
If the government can build housing for US Military people, it can build housing for Australian people. Its as simple as that.
Corruption runs deep.
-
Cost of corruption
Corruption incurs massive costs that extend far beyond financial losses. These hidden costs severely damage the economic stability of a nation, undermine political trust in institutions, and erode social cohesion within communities.

Was it the Australian PM who said "...don't mention the war..." I cannot remember the current affairs show I heard this on!

David French: "In American Association of University Professors v. Rubio, Judge William Young found that the Trump Administration is 'engaged in a mode of enforcement leading to detaining, deporting, and revoking noncitizens’ visas solely on the basis of political speech, and with the intent of chilling such speech and that of others similarly situated. Such conduct is unconstitutional." Trump targeted people whose statements were "clearly protected by the First Amendment."

"Party conferences are nationally important events, and so a party is traditionally expected to give access to accredited journalists, including those who have reported unfavourably or critically on it. Doing so demonstrates a party's commitment to #FreeSpeech, debate and scrutiny - the very stuff of democratic politics. #ReformUK, however, has a different approach."

The Genocide continues, they're not even hiding it. But call them out on it and you are the terrorist?
That's what Western Governments are doing.

The #AirMarshal agency presumes that requests for assistance from the #FBI, which are not unusual, are relevant to a legitimate investigation. But the bureau’s behavior here undermines that confidence….
The FBI’s decision to ask air marshals for help also puzzled some former law-enforcement officials, who asked why the FBI hadn’t put its own agents on the plane to conduct #surveillance, which would have been a routine matter.

The #FBI had asked the Federal #AirMarshal Service to covertly monitor #EricSwalwell on board & to watch him use his electronic devices, to see whether officers could visually ascertain his passcodes‼️, acc/to records obtained not previously reported. Air marshals are trained to blend in with other passengers & quietly keep tabs on their subjects, who are usually suspected terrorists or potential hijackers, NOT politicians.
