So basically, big tech companies can do whatever the hell they want. Spy on you, steal IP, create super-tools for criminals, violate TOS by banning people at will, it doesn’t matter. It’s just the Wild West for a fascist nerds.

Anyone know why the pimped out iphone duo 2TB Australian pricing is $5,900 when American rrp is $3,200usd? At current exchange rates that's nearly 20% more than what it should be including GST. Australian retailers and/or Apple price gouging? Because we are stupid enough to pay?

Good question from Niki Savva: you can't get a letter threatening to kill someone published in printed media; why is electronic media different? AFP Commish Barrett: making threats of violence isn't free speech. Is Tech Bro party time over? It's long overdue. #insiders #auspol

Amazing how Alphabet can ram ridiculous new AI features into an ancient Android phone that's years out of support yet they are unable or unwilling to provide basic security updates. Why are they allowed to get away with treating the public with such contempt? #auspol #NerdReich

Watching AFP Presser on the Helen Haines attack. Media wastes first 10 mins of questions asking rubbish they KNOW can't be answered. Surprised to learn that one person a WEEK is being prosecuted for threatening Commonwealth officials. 🤔 Why no publicity - until now? #auspol

Tanya Pliberseck explains how horrific some comments on the socials are. As always follow the money. There's alot of profit in outrage - competition for eyeballs. All true. But I do hope there's going to be discussion about the state of mental health supports. #abc730 #auspol

A 55-year-old man is charged with the murder of an 85-year-old woman in Huonville, Tasmania this morning. He is known to her. Her death means we have lost three women to acts of male violence in four days. All were killed by men known to them. This victim is the 49th Australian woman killed this year. Last year we lost 79 women to violence - the year before 106 women were killed. * You can help me get a Royal Commission into the Killing of Women and Girls by signing the petition using the link in my bio (Insta) or go to: change.org/FemicideRoyalComm…. ❤️ABOUT THE COUNT❤️ I document all Australian women & children lost to murder, manslaughter, neglect and other unlawful acts regardless of perpetrator gender or relationship to the victim. This means not all women and children killed are lost to domestic violence. They are also killed by people known to them (ie friends) or by strangers. My work includes Australians killed overseas. Every death is documented at AustralianFemicideWatch.org/… (link in bio).

So the top spec new iphone duo at jb is, gulp, $5,900 aud? Who tf is this for? The more money than sense class. ATO should do a tax audit of every buyer.

Absolute worst of this platform on display right now with idiotic baseless speculations about motive being aired regards the horrific attack on one of the most respected MP's we've ever had. FFS, just stop it. All thoughts with Helen Haines for a speedy recovery. #auspol

Paul Sakkal says "it's a perception problem". Yes - and why is that? Because any small business bleating -- even when it's defending the indefensible (in this case paying your tax on credit) -- is amplified 100 fold by a hopelessly biased media. #insiders #auspol

Not defending Speers off the chart rudeness but Mulino could have done a better job here defending policy. Paying tax liabilities with a credit card is awful form engaged in by all of 5% of small business. Try paying your mortgage on credit. #insiders #auspol

Two horses fell in the Caulfield Cup and not one word from the TV coverage about the condition of the riders & horses. Disgraceful. Friends & family of those concerned must be beside themselves with worry. Do better. #caulfieldcup

Listening to Madelaine King giving a speech at the #npc that sounds like it could have been written by a mining industry lobbyist. Mining is such a vital industry.. bla bla bla. Strangely, she makes no mention that it's well over 80% foreign owned. #MinisterForWoodside #auspol

Josh Frydenberg's re-entry into the limelight is manna from heaven for Ben Carroll. Joshy thinks he's going to be the next Liberal messiah. #abc730 #auspol

Funfacts from mapshare.vic.gov.au/demograp… (ABS Victorian population data 1991-2023 by LGA). Pop change 1991 -> 2023: Bayside 85,700 -> 104,270 (a fifth) Wyndham 63,420 -> 324,090 (five TIMES) No prize for guessing the wealthy area. Inequality on steroids. #springst #auspol

Unbelievable exhibition of world class slips catching from the one and only Steve Smith. What a cricketer. One of our all time greats. #SAvAUS

Asked very reasonable questions about staffing & performance of Footscray hospital Ingrid Stitt is either unable or unwilling to give direct answers. If the ALP gets booted at the imminent Victorian election they really only have themselves to blame. #abc730 #auspol #springst

Very interesting and constructive discussion on immigration in Australia. Fundamental rethink of the role of temporary migrants is needed, as are "cool heads". Well worth a listen by all. abc.net.au/listen/programs/t… #auspol

Has Australia hit its immigration speed limit? - ABC listen

Migration helped build modern Australia. But are we now growing faster than the economy can handle?
