Haven't addressed it in my piece (should hv) but it's bizarre that we never consider the moral cost - to our ourselves and our principles - of just ignoring crimes against humanity.
Human rights aren't a thing?
International law doesn't matter anymore? Might is right?
As if it won't come back on us.
Three cool scientists introduce their work "Our new theory has been submitted to a peer-reviewed journal, but we feel its depths and intricacies are best appreciated on the limited-edition vinyl release."

You mean the superannuation tax breaks? No?
You mean the CGT discount? No?
You mean the fossil fuel subsidies? No?
You mean the free gas for multinationals? No?
You mean the failure of the PRRT? No?

No you mean the NDIS FFS
Too bad Australia ignores this requirement
Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.
NEW: Clive Palmer's United Australia Party won't face any penalties for a data breach that exposed every document and email it held because of the Privacy Act's exemption for political parties... despite it not being registered as a political party at the time.

Single panel editorial cartoon. ‘Fuel Price Modelling’. A graph with time on the x-axis and cost on the y-axis. The x-axis has small variations until it hits a point marked ‘holidays’ where it surges. The next point ‘crisis’ it immediately surges high where it rises slowly to the next point, labelled ‘government intervention’. It falls slightly before gradually rising to the next point ‘possible resolution’ and with subtle variation to the next point labelled ‘nope’ where it has another small spike. The next point, ‘maybe’ there is little movement through to ‘crisis resolved’ where, rather than falling to pre-crisis levels, immediate or gradual, it straightens and begins to gradually rise through the next point ‘new arrival’ and to the end of the graph. The part of the graph below the marked red line appears torn off revealing a one hundred dollar note (aus), on top of this there is an armoured car with fuel company logos on it, dashing off in to background.
