This was a massive failure of private sector outsourcing resulting in a myriad of dodgy providers getting paid bucket loads to kick people off the dole. The Greens will abolish mutual obligation and bring employment services back into the Australian Public Service.

Jillian Segal was on the board of NAB while it ripped off customers and faced scandal after scandal. She has criticised calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and defended bombings of hospitals. Why does she have any sort of government role? crikey.com.au/2024/07/10/jil…

I hate to be the one to break this to you all, but there are an awful lot of people this past week who are paid to be journalists/reporters/whatever who really aren't that bright and have been talking utter bollocks. Yet apparently social media is the problem.

The fact that western media no longer talk about Israel's #GenocideinGaza and the oppression of Palestinians anywhere under Israeli rule, does not mean that genocide and oppression have stopped. It means they are being NORMALISED. #Humanity wake up!

@BlisterPearl Biden’s name NEVER appeared in Epstein’s flight logs. But Trump’s name appeared 69 times. 69! —@TheFungi669
This FIDELIO from the Dutch National Opera is arrant nonsense. Why are these travesties largely restricted to opera among the dramatic arts??? youtu.be/WlumjXpcg9s?si… via @YouTube
I find it irritating how the volume of the commentators on @BBCRadio3 is often much louder than the music!!!

No, it's not really NOT what matters! Biden's ego is preventing other better qualified people from running against Trump.
