What do Levi’s, Hanes, and Chewy have in common?
California AG Rob Bonta just revealed evidence alleging that Amazon used its power to pressure them, and countless other brands, to inflate prices of listings on rival online marketplaces as part of wide-ranging price-fixing scheme.
“The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated.”
—Justice Robert H. Jackson, Chief American Prosecutor, Nuremberg, 1946
A Kempsey Shire councillor is being investigated for misconduct after allegedly claiming a woman should have been "bashed" online.
I learned radio production there in the 80s (Current Affairs &News). I did Gaywaves whilst at school. I have so many memories (80s). So many people have been through that studio. Shame on Macquarie Uni and UTS! #2SER
Konrad Benjamin nails the root of the problem: to stop large industries from ripping us all off, politicians need to stop “going to work in the industries that they literally wrote the rules for”🔥
Rules that as Dr Denniss points out, see gas co’s “pay more in PR than PRRT”💥
Original Facebook Post in My Efficient Electric Home: “Who watched the 7 news documentary last night on the cost of ‘green energy’ ?” Comment: “Yep, very interesting “ Reply: “sadly it was 99.9% bought and paid propaganda from the very opening lines”
Comment on My Efficient Electric Home facebook page: I haven’t seen it, but what exactly was propaganda?” Reply: “thd claim that all EVs use cobalt batteries for starters. Around half these days don’t. But cobalt is used in oil refineries. It was a rant filled with factual errors, designed to have people abandon batteries and EVs and stick to fossil fuels and ICE cars, from a journalist who until recently was a communications manager for Shell.”
“The Dirty Secret Powering Australia’s Green Future” Liam Bartlett investigating Chinese controlled mining operations in Africa and Indonesia . An examination of the “ hidden costs” of the renewable energy rollout, including child labour, environmental destruction, and supply chains. A look into the impact on Australia’s power prices and the destruction of agricultural land.
An example of a Miner using his media empire to undermine the transition to renewables.
The war on information has started: AI has accepted the truth of the doco propaganda & turned it into its own ‘fact’. Scary.

I saw this footage elsewhere. It’s so awful. This WA cop thug better face consequences, and his fellows all need retraining. This is the racist 🇦🇺 state that also stripped priests & nuns (approx) naked when arresting them for peaceful pray-ins in ministers’ offices over vile anti-refugee policy.
I have made up a fake Google review for the Straight of Hormuz
At least if the Strait of Hormuz was a cafe you could Google to see if it was open or not

Thanks to this elderly Jewish man for his courage, and for Ben Pennings climbing a tree to get the footage. This is how many cops Queensland sent to arrest a Jewish man for wearing a “river to the sea” tshirt. No police state for 🇮🇱

Help support a local women’s refuge by donating new toys, new books and new art materials to children they help, at the aid drive I’m running tomorrow morning in Northcote from 8am! Hope to see you there.
Crisafulli is playing a dangerous game here. Dangerous for the clients of MurriWatch, but more dangerous for him. Aboriginal people are sick of being treated like 3rd class citizens and will fight back, violently if we have to.
I thank you for offering friendship
I am begging people: for the love of god, stop sharing "news updates" from Polymarket. They're a slop org. They share bullshit for engagement. Don't spread their misinfo.
THIS IS ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🍿
🇮🇷 Iranian local journalist actually went to Strait of Hormuz just to expose Trump 😂
"There is absolutely no impact of Trump's blockade at Hormuz. All the Iranian tankers and allies like 🇨🇳 China are easily getting passage through the Strait" 🔥
When you aggregate the comments of various Reform UK candidates, you find they:

Hate the unemployed
Hate disabled people
Hate everyone ...
But claim to love the country.

None of those tickle my fancy. You see clearly homophobic.
Who are you calling pillow biter?
Tiny homes are a trap. Can’t put them anywhere. Councils will not approve them bc they are not built to regs.
Can’t tow them without a permit!
Teal got poor people looking for housing solution.
So those who don’t consume, & just hang around, will be moved on. In defence of markets, profits and the “right” to consume! Ugh!
Got to love the clash.
lmao
Yep!
Very!
Hey Rob, give Yarndi a pat; and have a smoke!!!!!
Yeah it had good vibes.
I’m in Healesville which is mixed vibes: the pride dinner I do always gets negative comments on Facebook.
It was awesome riding into town: all the businesses had Pride flags. It felt very welcoming and safe to be me that day!

There is no way that either Pauline Hanson or Barnaby Joyce is ready for government and the massive challenges facing leaders today, writes John Hewson. But as we cast our eyes to the US, we know that stranger things can, and do, happen. satpa.pe/rL9KQ4B
Brilliant. And great timing for #NoKings March 28.
