You seriously can't make this stuff up! 3 top Labor ministers responsible for making the RULES for mining companies literally went to WORK directly for them just weeks after leaving government. If you can't call this bare faced flat out corruption, what can you call it? #Auspol

Australia will force everyone to verify their identity for social media, including sites like YouTube. This crackdown on anonymity is about the government combating "misinformation," silencing dissent and forcing compliance.

Who travels business class on a 11 hour round trip to attend a bday party for 40mins? Peter Dutton for Gina Rinehart’s 70th! Did we pay for this? Talk about elites & their distance from the lives of everyone else.

A pedophile who was convicted of sexually abusing his own daughter now claims to be transgender + has been released from jail. Clive Bundy, who goes by Claire Fox, was let out after serving less than half of his 15-year sentence This is not a woman. This is a vile, evil man. Bundy lived for nearly 60 years as a man, had eight children and never expressed any type of gender dysphoria before he “came out” as trans in 2021. His daughter Ceri (@CeriLeeG) waived her right to anonymity in order to speak out about her father’s vile abuse + his subsequent attempts to exploit and manipulate the legal system. She said: “My father is not a woman and I refuse to recognise him as such. He changed his gender in prison to make his life there easier. The fact he is now dressed as a woman makes him more dangerous as young girls are his thing and he has never shown any remorse. My father is a highly manipulative man who has attended no sexual offender rehabilitation programmes, shown no remorse for what he has done and openly admits finding children attractive. There have been no meetings I'm aware of to tell local schools about his presence, he has no tag and no curfew. He has just been put into this community and given all he could wish for – food, furniture, a home and a laptop.” Predators will find any way they can to abuse children. Coming out as “transgender” and changing their names after committing heinous crimes is just another tactic. A new name equals a new identity, a clean police record, and a clear DBS check. In short: a pedophile putting on a dress and calling himself “Claire” is like a free pass to continue his abuse.

When you game the system to cut the wages and job security for staff, you lose not just staff loyalty but customer loyalty. Qantas has fallen from 5th best in the world to 17th smh.com.au/traveller/travel-…

A record I still play at least once a week …
Today marks the 64th anniversary of "Kind of Blue." Kind of Blue was an exercise not only in primarily blues structures, but also in generating an abiding melancholy —an emotional cohesion unlike any other title in Davis’ catalog. Listen Here: milesdavis.com/albums/kind-o…

Along the lines of WW2 veteran and Australian cricketer, Keith Miller when a contemporary international player bemoaned the pressures of elite sport: "Pressure? I'll tell you what pressure is. Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your arse, playing cricket is not."

Now one of the most complex and therefore most expensive automobiles in history has been delivered in Kiel. It was a very special honor for Germany's Speedway Icone and 4-time world champion Egon Müller to hand over this very special automobile EMR Marketing & Promotion
