At least that’s something. Segal gets smacked down on her arrogant, grossly offensive plan to police SBS and the ABC. theguardian.com/media/2026/n…
Remember that the odious Accenture were the leeches involved in the BOM contract which ballooned from $4 million to roughly $96 million. They were also involved in a flawed and overpriced Defence contract.
The Qantas-Accenture deal to gut 850 Australian jobs through AI and offshoring is nothing short of a betrayal.
Accenture is bankrolling the upfront costs of Qantas’ shift towards humanless technology and in return Accenture stands to pocket a share of the savings as workers are replaced.
It’s cowardly and sets a dangerous precedent where corporations sacrifice meaningful human oversight in pursuit of a quick cash high.
And contracting with the odious multinational Accenture to implement the offshoring... Remember that Accenture was involved in the BOM contract which ballooned from $4 million to roughly $96 million. They were also involved in a flawed and overpriced Defence contract. Leeches...
This is Vanessa Hudson, CEO of Qantas, who scored $6.4 million in pay, bonuses, shares etc last financial year. Qantas itself made $1.2 billion after tax. Hudson is now sacking 850 workers, outsourcing their jobs to India. Disgusting.

It’s going to get so much worse. For him, I mean… for the rest of us it’s going to get so much more amazing every day.
The Red Witch.
Pauline Hanson is all over TikTok/social media with paid/boosted content claiming to be a warrior for struggling Australians. This is a lie. She is a stalking horse for uncontrolled guns, horror cuts to services, work choices 2.0, let er rip coal/gas low taxed exports, dogwhistle immigration….

Stu, let’s at least pretend to be fair to the science. For 45 yrs the Dietary Guidelines have said to eat less protein foods and more refined carbohydrates. Those guidelines distorted the nutrient density of the US diet, and the health outcomes are obvious. The new DGA (based on those 30 highly controlled RCT studies), target a range for protein to replace refined carbohydrates. When nutrient rich protein foods are used to replace nutrient poor, refined carbohydrates health outcomes improve. The protein range is presented as a goal, not are requirement, and the intention is to shift the focus from the minimum RDA to a more moderate target within the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range. Currently, nearly 20% of women over 60 y or 18-22 y are below the RDA and nearly 45% of adults are below recommended protein intakes. The narrative that everyone eats too much protein is false. The new DGA recommend prioritizing protein food choices. The DGA does not add protein supplements on top of unhealthy diets, it targets nutrient rich protein foods to replace ultra-processed foods. So, the true question isn’t solely an issue of defining a protein deficiency, it’s recognizing a carbohydrate gluttony and diets that are nutrient poor. Are people better off consuming nutrient-rich protein foods or cookies and donuts?

‘ There was a certain amount of disdain for the well-being of Palestinian civilians…’
Blinken, an abject failure, an accomplice to genocide, should slink back to the obscurity he so richly deserves.

If the Labor government or the coalition are looking for what's driving people away from the major parties, then this sort of incestuous, jobs for the boys and gals, circle-jerk is what's causing people's disgust.
Every day, every week - they scratch each others backs.
Peter Dutton, who has never spent time on any cultural or museum board, will receive almost $50,000 p.a for attending four meetings a year.
Yes, you read that right.
Former Liberal leader and Defence Minister Peter Dutton will join the Council of the Australian War memorial with the Albanese government praising his record on driving “major reforms” on national security and military readiness

Robert Manne, with forensic skill, demolishes the dreadful and dangerous Segal. Among others.
Robert Manne suitably outraged by the distortions and connivance in the Australian debate on antisemitism. Does so with considerable authority. Kudos, Robert. robertmanne.substack.com/p/o…

So, let me flag a few things, traitor.
1. "European security architecture" is a phrase the Kremlin uses. We already have one: it's called NATO.
2. You conflate (as you always do) the victim of this war with the aggressor. The aggressor is Russia.
3. "Root causes" is Russian for "do it our way" and you know it.
4. Nothing a word about Russian withdrawal, the occupied territories, POWs or deported children. Weird.
5. Lavrov wrote this for you.
6. Fuck Putin, fuck Russia, and fuck you.
President Trump today advanced an important discussion with several European leaders about the need for a broader European security architecture that can help establish the conditions for lasting peace.
Building on his leadership and the substantive work undertaken this week in Brussels with Ukraine, NATO, and our European partners, @SEPeaceMissions and I wanted to share some of the objectives guiding our ongoing discussions.
For more than 30 years, Europe and Russia have struggled to establish a sustainable security framework. Decades of mistrust, competing security concerns, and the devastating consequences of this war make this an extraordinarily difficult challenge, but one that is essential to lasting peace.
Our objective is to develop practical arrangements that address the security concerns of all sides, reduce the risk of future conflict, and create a more stable and predictable security environment.
We are exploring five principal goals: permanent security consultations, reliable crisis communications, greater military transparency, reciprocal measures to reduce escalation risks, and an enduring framework for long-term European security and stability.
Any arrangements must fully respect the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independent decision-making of every nation. Each country will retain authority over its own security and alliances, and no country would have a veto over another’s sovereign choices. NATO will remain central to European collective defense, and this initiative would build upon existing institutions and commitments.
We will continue consultations through the Shell Bay format with Ukraine, NATO, the EU, and our European partners, expanding engagement to ensure that all relevant perspectives and ideas are considered. We will also engage Russia as part of the peace negotiations.
Next week in Abu Dhabi, the United States will convene the first trilateral peace discussions with Ukraine and Russia since February. All parties remain intensely engaged in preparing for substantive and productive negotiations. We will consult closely with our European partners on the sidelines and, if progress is made, aim to move toward a broader multilateral format with their direct participation.
These ideas continue to evolve, and we welcome thoughtful input. Creating the right structure will be critical to ending this war and transitioning from conflict toward conditions that make possible a durable peace.
This is difficult, detailed work. There are no easy solutions. But the opportunity to help end this devastating war and build a foundation for a more peaceful, secure, and prosperous Europe for generations to come makes it a challenge well worth undertaking.
We will see how these discussions develop and continue working intensively with all parties toward President Trump’s objective of a comprehensive and lasting peace.

Segal arrogantly sees herself as judge, jury and executioner. She is a hardline, right-wing menace to freedom of speech and independent journalism.
ABC Alumni is outraged at the continued insistence by Australia’s Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism,that the ABC and SBS are contributing to antisemitism.

My latest article for @shot_au where I point out that Segal's latest 'report' was not requested by government or the PM.
It's simply a rehash of last year's report - with a purpose beyond its pages.
It's arrival has more to do with her strategy of filling media spaces with antisemitism angst now the royal commission is over, and also influencing the royal commission findings.
It is also a document designed to inflame culture wars and get people arguing and create political division - a classic tactic of conservatives the world over.
Nothing Segal says is new, (except of course for the astonishing claim she makes that all Jews in Australia are unbothered by neo-Nazis!)
Comments welcome. theshot.net.au/uncategorized…

Australian students will be learn about antisemitism & the horrors of the Holocaust from next year as part of a new national curriculum. By the same standards, the curriculum should cover the genocide occurring in their lifetime - the Genocide In Palestine abc.net.au/news/2026-11-05/e… #FreePalestine #auspol
Roni Salt knocks it out of the park. Jillian Segal is a menace to Australia...

This is a top piece, actually. The furious agreement of the political and media classes on why you should suffer for their incompetence.
Great work here from Greg Jericho. He is one of very few who are telling Australians the truth about the economy, interest rates, spending and the lies being pedalled by mainstream media and govt to maintain the status quo

America Has Spoken. And Trump Has Lost. Again.
Well, there we have it. Donald Trump, a man who has spent his entire life confusing noise with popularity, has once again discovered that shouting louder does not make you a winner.
This election was about him. His chaos. His corruption. His spectacular talent for taking a functioning country and treating it like a demolition project.
He has attacked American institutions, bullied America’s allies, undermined democracy, turned politics into a travelling circus and made the United States look increasingly like a country being governed from the comments section of a particularly unpleasant website.
And Americans have had enough.
They do not stand with Putin’s Russia. They stand with Ukraine. They do not want another disastrous war with Iran. They do not want cruelty, intimidation and masked men terrorising their streets. They do not want their president treating the Constitution like an irritating parking regulation.
They want their country back.
And here is the delicious part. Trump made this election a referendum on himself. His enormous ego demanded it. And the voters delivered their verdict.
You lost, Donald. Again.
Thank you, America. For remembering who you are. For standing up to the bullies. And, most importantly, for finally grabbing the steering wheel before the lunatic drove the entire bloody country into a ditch.
Clearly Alaska voters are actually not stupid and know the difference between "Dan S. Sullivan" and "Daniel J. Sullivan Jr."

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.
These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first.
We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy.
While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.
