The apparent election victory of Donald Trump, has consequences for the world, that I'm sure, very few people, have ever thought of. The world has just been sent, in an incredibly dangerous direction. 1/🧵

Our fire fighters don’t need thoughts & prayers - they need funds. Our scientists don’t need thoughts & prayers - they need trust. Our climate doesn’t need thoughts & prayers - it needs action & policy. Our nation doesn’t need thoughts & prayers - it needs leadership.
Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been so directly and horribly impacted by these fires.

And so it has happened: the national security measures we were told were necessary to protect Australians against terrorists and paedophiles are now going to be deployed against – you guessed it – climate activists – at Sydney, New South Wales

Wow! Worth watching this. China's largest video platform #Tencentvideo (97M paying China subscribers) will begin inserting extra ads into movies/series that didn't exist in the original. #computervision

Koala has cut ties with Alan Jones. We’re a significant buyer in the medium, and it’s something we should have done earlier. Climate change is real, violence against women starts with words and the bloke has had too many chances. @2GB873 time to wake up.

Great buzz in the room and fantastic turnout for the finale of this years @greenhouse_oz series. Well done @WWF_Australia and the Panda Labs team. @greenups
Encrypted messaging services are global. No software co will bother implementing these changes just for oz gov. They’ll just pull out of this market. Leaving us w inferior options. #qanda
The terrorists aren’t bothered. They’ll just jump onto another encrypted tech stack, and then use the insecure backdoors to their advantage. #qanda
