British/Australian - Communication and Media academic and writer interested in media effects on human society. Everything interests me, especially communication, media, language, music, technology, complexity, and contradiction.
Please read this book from Australian journalist @roycerk2.bsky.social it details strategy, tactics and the international political reach of the oil industry
Please urgently consult Australian authorities who have managed this level of catastrophe for decades. And get journalists prepared for the conditions.It's hard to see a reporter wearing a sleeveless dress in an out-of-control fire zone. Australian journalists look like this in those conditions.
Pauline Hanson's latest display of ignorance exposes warped values, total ignorance, and incompetence. Is it unreasonable to expect someone with 30 years in politics to know about the various reports and inquiries into DV and Family violence by the Federal Parliament (HofR and Senate)?
Same on ABC Radio National in Australia this morning - with the Israeli ambassador to Australia spewing venom and defamatory statements about the humanitarian flotilla and activists. The Hasbara/propaganda campaign never ends, as The Times of Israel reported in Dec 2024
Fails to mention that the lower contribution to GDP can be largely attributed to lower wages in feminised jobs, and wage gap in others. We can all throw numbers around haphazardly - it doesn't mean they can be understood fully out of context.
Apparently a lot of people walked out, it was so radical, which is one reason I don't like cultural lists. Lists ARE good for shopping though! And I'd be lost without my daily to do list!
The easiest action of a politician is to propose unfeasible policy that sounds good. This morning on @news.abc.net.au the newly elected One Nation member for Farrer outlined his party's policy to remove the GST on building supplies for new houses. Not a single question about how it would work.
.. check out what she actually votes for - negative, cruel, and abandonment of anyone who is vulnerable
As a political scientist Diermeier is lying blatantly. Universities are inherently political. Look at the history of Vanderbilt! Check out its donors, the research it has done, and the funding of that research.
Americans can't say they weren't warned - over and over - for decades.
Interesting people are concerned about the pump price - maybe some concern for the revenue lost would be appropriate - the gas tax typically raises roughly $35 billion to $40 billion annually for the Highway Trust Fund. But that's not all
News Limited appear to endow a machete with autonomy to erase gender as a factor.
Funny how she's using the same 'lines' as Kemi Badenoch in the UK - it's almost like it's an orchestrated and scripted narrative. So much semiotic coding going on with just a few words!!
It's about the same (using data from Human Rights Commission report of 2022) - BUT (big but!) theoretically you would expect the workplace that represents the people and makes laws would be considerably lower
this proposal seems to meet the criteria of being 'vexatious' and would be unlikely to pass the AEC Commissioner's scrutiny for party registration - which (surprise!!) takes into account the potential for this kind of cynical manipulation.
that's funny because she is Country Chair for Shell Australia and Executive Vice President (EVP) for Integrated Gas Australia, and previously held an Executive position where she had the following responsibilities
Hey News Limited don't let the fact that feminist scholars and researchers have made the same arguments for DECADES. It's always best to wait for a man to make the connection, and to co-opt concepts and principles developed by feminists to make men the victims.
#Auspol media - Pauline Hanson is on other SM sites quoting Cicero as a guide to One Nation politics - clearly not knowing much about Cicero. Why don't you ask her to explain what relevance Cicero has to Australia in the 21st century, especially as
And there he was during the 2022 election campaign - not finding her difficult then. What changed? OH that's right - she wasn't co-opted by the Australian Zionist lobby, or the Fossil Fuel industry, or the Defence Industry.
He was happy enough to bask in her glow when she was Australian of the Year - what a fake and opportunist he is! He lapped up the "By Association" boost it gave him.
Stop it. Stop the boosterism. Stop the propaganda. Celebrating the minor gains gives a false impression when we're at a tipping point. Try explaining reality and the urgency of what humanity has to do. Stop treating people like fools.
How disgusting that "integrity" is cited as one of the core values of Goldman Sachs when it is one of the most active enablers of Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing campaign in Palestine. www.banktrack.org/news/seven_u...
The conflict over Australia's National Day is not new. The history is easily accessible even to ignorant media commentators like poor excuse for a journalist, Karl Stefanovic, or manipulative self-serving sociopaths like Hanson. Australia needs to have a mature debate.
@theguardian.com - here you go I fixed your tepid, and possibly defamatory headline about bully Farage
