In 2023, we receive essential information of #politics and #democracy from a dubious collection of foreign #tech giants - #TikTok, #YouTube, #Facebook - and a foreign media co. with ties to industrial-scale lying and anti-democratic stuff. #auspol #yes23

I keep hearing ‘you have lost this, you may as well lay down and die’. I don’t believe that. I believe Australians will look at this on the day and say, ‘well this is a decent, honourable, good thing for us to do.’ – at Broome, Western Australia

On the basis that #race has always been "entrenched" in the Constitution, platforming this line is malicious hate from @abc730 what say you @FergusonNews ? #auspol

ABC commentary prior to coronation was sound thoughtful discussion about the relevance of Monarchy in Australia. It was positive thoughtful and unemotional. Excellent. Elderly Monarchists would not have understood points made. I hope there is more in future.

To all those noisy miners (& the odd spatially-unaware economist) who spouts that let-her-rip developer-dictated density any answer to anything, I present case of Wentworth Pt - a monoculture of high & higher densities totally without strategic justification or design merit..

#Marrickville in #Sydney's #InnerWest was nominated by #Timeout as one of the coolest #neighbourhoods in the world. The #Vietnamesefood scene is a big part of the magic. Head over to rustycompass.com for the full #video of new stuff in Sydney.

The most cynical #opportunism degraded #facebook to its present gutter standing. Same voracious #morons are applying the same values to degrade #instagram. How long before we get to enjoy the rich, #ethical, human possibilities of #tech? #bigtech #dontblametech

Enjoyed @AlexSmithSMH article in @smh today. One thing missing. If @NSWLabor doesn’t back cashless card they will lose many votes, including mine. They must not be beholden to @ClubsNSW. We need Bipartisan support for cashless card. @RoseBJackson

Anyone know why have we heard nothing of WT.Social in all the talk of alternatives to toxic #twitter? Surely it should have been a logical alternative. Created by Jim Wales of #wikipedia fame it seems to have made little progress? #SocialMedia #BigTech #elon

Two years of travelling the local neighbourhood followed by a year of pretty solid international travel tells me travel has changed forever. That might be a good thing. Head over to the blog for the full video. rustycompass.com/blog/travel… #travel #tourism #overtourism #risk

News Flash. News media gets it wrong, AGAIN. Why is that? Because the owners of the bulk of the Australian media put journalism second to the pursuit of their commercial & ideological agenda. THAT is the news story out of this. But who is reporting it? #VicVotes2022

Do you think the “editors” of these wretched, lying Murdochracy rags ever lie awake at night, tormented by doubt and shame ?

Bizarre #Insiders panel analysis of Vic election, within a few minutes the focus goes to talking up Frydenberg & his chances of a comeback! Andrews gets a short interview and then his massive achievement barely rates a mention; typical Speers hijack ... #auspol #vicpol

Speers after it’s announced Labor has achieved another thumping election victory: “Should Dan Andrews stay as premier for four years?” Should Speers stay as political journalist at the ABC for another four weeks? #vicpol
