“Tuesday's federal budget will include a $105.9 million commitment over four years to develop an AI tool to guide proponents and share environmental data, helping more projects get approved.” (Source: ABC News)
What a lot of BS and waste of taxpayers’ money. It is well documented that regardless of building approvals, developers and builders will not build anything unless it is profitable to do so. It is also well documented (I tooted about this a little while ago) that there are many fully approved developments that are sitting idle gathering dust until the prifit margins are more favourable to the developers/builders.
NOTE: Cutting red tape, in the currently deregulated markets, is a euphmism for #NeoLiberalism and panders to the #Grifters. So, now you know where the #BudgetMay26 is coming from.

As if we don’t have enough #Grifters making a pile on #Australia ‘s slack #TaxRevenue from #GasExports here is another one to add to that pile:
“Amid renewed debate over whether Australia is getting enough tax from its gas exports, an investigation by the ABC shows how one LNG producer uses Singapore to help boost its profits.
That company is Shell, the global oil and gas super major, which is the world’s largest trader of the fuel.
Over the eight years to 2024, Shell’s LNG trading and marketing arm in Singapore made billions of dollars in profit. And it did so by buying LNG from producer countries such as Australia before on-selling the gas at a significant mark-up.”
I wonder how many more #FossilFuel #TaxEvasionSchemes are operating that we don’t know about. Wake up #AlboPM we’re all being had here!

[edited to add link to Guardian article source]
How’s this for a complete and frank confession that the #Labor Govt is Wholy Owned by the #CorporateGiants making bucket loads of profit from #Raping the land and #Pillaging Australian #Resources:
“Trade minister Don Farrell said on Friday “we’re not changing our policies in respect to gas” and that “the most important thing” was to honour existing export contracts.”
Well, Mr #Farrell, for your information, the gas export contracts have nought to do with you or your govt. It is a #Commercial contract from which #Santos and others derive an outrageous profit. So if we were to #Tax that, it would reduce theirt bottom line by the same percentage without any change to the contracts they hold (unless they contain some cagey and dogey clauses — but that a commercial issue again and commercial law, nothing to do with the Govt.)
Nothing more is needed from our govt to prove that #StateCapture is alive and thriving in Aus when a Trade Minister goes to bat for an #ExtrativeIndustry Private Corporation! You just wait until the next election or by-elections, we’ll teach you a thing or two.

@InsurgoFormica
You mean #Grifters , right? I mean, what’s the purpose of private enterprises if not to hoover cash? Especially in mostly uncompetitive sectors of commercial markets (not to say #Cartel -like environments).Airlines buy fuel contracts well ahead of needs, so any rise in airfares due to increasing fuel costs is just an excuse to cash in by speculating future contract prices… This side of #Capitalism just seems wrong to me. If we’re all going to do it tough because of the #ChristoJewishCrusade and #FascistImperialism , then why should #PrivateEnterprises and #MultiNationalCorporation (both recognised as #Entities before the Courts) not suffer the same as the rest of us?

So, the bombshells about #Epstein and the First Lady of Negotiable Affection are starting to drop.
And it’s as sordid and awful as one might imagine a groups of pedophiles to be. So, Amanda #Ungaro was a teen model in Brazil. Paolo #Zampolli brought her over, and eventually married her. Zampolli has a relationship with trump going back to the 80s, including a role as Trump’s special envoy, and he and Amanda were ambassadors to somewhere. He’s responsible for most of the teen models that #Trump got his hands on pre-Melania.
When Amanda left Zampolli, he used ICE to detain her for months before deporting her to Brazil, and despite years of “friendship” with Mel and Moron, they left her to suffer like she was a regular brown person.
It’s almost like psychopaths don’t care, huh?

The 'Lettuce Lady'
"So Britain’s self-appointed ambassador to MAGA was not on the main stage but on a secondary platform, amid the merchandise stalls and podcast studios, delivering her vision for a British revolution to a room whose primary function was selling Trump cigars and sequinned jackets."

Lifestyle choices?… call it what it is, #Advertising induced #BrainWashing #Consumerism. Living within our means (including planetary resource limits) is not in the #NeoLiberal mindset of #Grifters nor in the unfetted #Capitalism and #Globalisation handbook. Is the quality of life really enhanced in proportion to the amount of goods we consume or acquire? I think not.
There’s nothing like retirement on a modest pension to make one come to their senses and see that a comfortable, happy and fruitful life can be had cheaply enough. It helps if working life is used to save, consume less with the environment in mind and asking a simple question: ‘do I really need this?’ before buying anything. Some goods are essential, most are not.

@ApaulD
Reading this article made me mad. Not only is it lumping every ‘old person’ into a ‘rich’ bag which is clearly inconsistent with real life stats, but the ‘richness’ of the most fortunate among them is based on home ‘equity’ they cannot cash in (because even downsizing is expensive these days) and on their superannuation balance (a compulsory scheme and every worker will eventually get there as well). I’ve a gutful of ‘experts’ drunk on #neoliberal #Kool-Aid blaming the ‘#boomers’ (I’m one of them and I’m not rich. I just have a home — which I’m still paying off) instead of focussing on the #TechBros #Corporations #Billionaires and #MultiMillionaires #Grifters #Usurers #Nepos and generally the #Rich who play the system to avoid paying their fair share of Taxes. Fed up. Fed up I tell you.

Today in thieves, cheats and grifters on the internet.
So Talent500, who have a gold check account on twitter (which as far as I know, costs a shit ton of money, $1000 is way more than I make in a GOOD month) copied a few bits of my article that I worked for three weeks on.
Could not even be bothered to copy enough to get to a working solution, stopped at intermediary steps. And "forgot" to give credit. And somehow come first in search results.

The real reason they are fighting, aside from obviously gaining huge media attention… is the huge media attention.
Once the insanity stops, they will have the cull, then take the eggs that they have from the flock and grow new birds plus get birds from elsewhere that also came from their flock.
It’s not rocket science, these people are just using the publicity to further their financial prospects. More Culture War grifters.
The screenshots are from the wayback machine, 2021 before they took down their website, for obvious reasons.

“She Won” election conspiracy theories defy belief and do not help
Over the past two weeks, I’ve seen a few friends share a post alleging a sweeping conspiracy to steal the presidential election–not the 2020 election, as Donald Trump and his cult followers have been alleging without proof ever since, but the 2024 contest. These friends have not vouched for the theory put forth in that post and a series of others posted at a newsletter site; at most, they’ve said things along the lines of “these raise interesting questions.”
So I read those “This Will Hold” posts and a separate report posted by a group called the Common Coalition. To summarize thousands of words of copy: They allege that surprising results in swing states and even individual counties–notably, voters choosing Democrats downballot and then picking Trump or not voting for any presidential candidate–are too statistically unlikely to be the result of voters making their own choices and instead are the result of an elaborate plot involving compromised Tripp Lite uninterruptible power supplies that were remotely reprogrammed on Elon Musk’s orders via SpaceX’s Starlink satellites to change vote totals on Dominion and ES&S voting systems.
No, really. Speaking as a tech journalist who has written a fair amount about SpaceX and as a poll worker who has put in 15-plus hour days helping people to vote in nine elections: I’m sorry, but I can only regard them as engagingly-written claptrap.
Here’s why I think that:
- If so many UPSes were shipped with hidden cellular modems and antennas to election offices in counties, cities and states run by Democratic administrations, how have none of them surfaced? (Bear in mind, election offices don’t have huge budgets to buy high-end hardware. I have never seen anything but generic power strips in my own polling places.)
- At the end of 2024 and still today, Starlink’s only widely-available service to phones is text messaging. SpaceX has done limited tests of data, but Elon Musk was willing to roll the dice on that working clandestinely in dozens or hundreds of devices across the U.S.?
- Trump or Musk tweeting out absurd claims or preditions is no kind of proof or confession, because they both shitpost all the time while rarely intersecting with reality.
- No part of this extensive conspiracy inside SpaceX has leaked at any point, even as SpaceX employees have come forward to accuse Musk of sexual harassment and indifference to workplace safety at considerable risk to themselves.
- This Will Hold’s posts don’t mention the “risk-limiting audits” that a growing number of states conduct to check for exactly this kind of post-election ballot tampering. Nevada’s, for example, found “no variations” from the reported results. Ignoring risk-limiting audits in a theory of election fraud is an enormous tell, because election-integrity experts will tell you they’re as essential as hand-marked paper ballots scanned by machines (which is why every state should adopt them). See, for example, the National Academies’ 2018 report Securing the Vote: Protecting American Democracy.
- If people really had cast votes for Harris that somehow vanished, why have we not seen that variance in post-election polling and surveys of voters? See, for example, the data-science firm Catalist’s “What Happened in 2024” analysis and the Pew Research Center’s just-published report on 2024 turnout.
- Many voters really did leave the presidential part of their ballot blank. In Virginia (where the first warnings of a Kamala Harris loss were returns from Loudoun County showing her underperforming Biden’s 2020 numbers), the former vice president got 2,335,395 votes while Sen. Tim Kaine (D) got 2,417,115 votes. In my state and, it seems, others, her problem was Trump getting more turnout from 2020 voters and from new voters than she did.
- Musk spending $250 million and change to persuade those people to vote probably did shape the outcome. So did Trump lying about his opponent and a great many other things while presenting himself as an icon of never-surrender success, with Fox News amplifying all that. But the die may have been cast when Joe Biden decided to run for reelection despite evident trouble selling his message and then not dropping out until July of 2024—leaving Harris to answer the hardest call to the bullpen in American presidential-election history.
The unfortunate and ugly reality is that American voters showed awful judgment last November, and we are now all paying the price for that. There’s just a meanness in this world, as Springsteen sings, and our country is not and has never been exempt from it. Conspiracy theories might help people think otherwise, but this kind of self-delusional behavior will not help write a different script for 2026 and 2028.
