We'll grow up when there are systems of government that provide better leaders.

Katie Miller likes Grok because it gives her the NAZI view of life.

ChatGPT refused to reduce the disrespectful question about a real person to a one word answer.

(Miller uses Liberal to mean left wing.)

There may be a stepping capability to navigate difficult terrain but I still think the #robots are more likely to roll after us, not run.

More than 20 robots race alongside humans at half marathon in Beijing The robots came in all different shapes and sizes. One looked almost human, with feminine features and the ability to wink and smile.

The original upright #robot was developed by Honda & released in 2000. It frequently fell over.

There have been significant advances in the last 26 years.

Careful what you request!

Any new protest law will apply equally to left wing protestors & right wing protestors.

Why don't we ban both?

Jewish people, Palestinians & Arabs seem to take violence wherever they go & Australia has plenty of Caucasians.

We'd make a better country by limiting migration to East Asian, South Asian, Polynesian & Melanesian people.

"if we are going to maintain a system that deliberately creates unemployment, the least we should do for those who bear the cost is income support that’s above the poverty line and services that genuinely help. The current system is both ineffective and unnecessarily cruel." #RaiseTheRate #auspol

Well I presume the documents giving him that right will be shown to a court & a judge will make a decision.

It's a response to the number of people posting this map as evidence.

It just shows that historically the Levant has had many sovereign powers & one date in history does not prove others wrong.

Six-Day War - Wikipedia

It quotes Lyndon Johnson saying the main reason was #Egypt's 'arbitrary and dangerous announced decision that the Straits of Tiran would be closed.'

I'm on unfamiliar ground defending #Israel but to suggest they were any more responsible than the Arabs is fanciful.

Mandatory Palestine - Wikipedia

That was territory the Turks lost in WWI but it was very definitely British territory.

Everyone wants to look back to 1948 when Israel was established but Jewish people, Palestinians & others coexisted in Canaan.

#Jewish people were the first to form a country & that was the basis for the plan to build a homeland in the Levant.

#Israel

Both USA & Australian armies require that no information they provide soldiers while training is passed on to anyone.

Duggan either knew or should've known not to train them.

#Auspol

Who do you mean by, 'they'? Australia? The UN? #Israel?

UN recognition is important but if enough countries acknowledge it, then it's existence is accepted.

Recall the allies won the territory from Turkiye in WWI & ran it as colonies till WWII.

No. I'm just saying that a statement by Israel that they're expanding is meaningless unless someone recognises it.

Israel only expands if someone recognises the new map like Australia's recent recognition of #Palestine.

That was a massive expansion of Palestinian territory from the POV of AlboPM.

#Auspol

You could say the same about the pro- #Palestine lobby groups - Neither side has much credibility.

Didn't Dan Duggan commit treason?

Perhaps he's being treated too harshly but if the allegations are true, he should be punished.

Was the #Jewish guy suggesting that the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean should belong to #Israel or #Palestine?

Well the Telegraph (or its editors or it's owners) want BRS to walk away scot free.

His is one of the higher profile cases but he's not the first to be in that position & if guilty should pay the price.

There are lots of Australians who don't work in mining or agriculture but they're the source of most of the country's revenue.

This is a wake up call for anybody who's never heard of Donald Horne or his book, The Lucky Country.

“Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck.”

Justice Jackman said it's 'appropriate to focus on net profit for the companies' and the penalty should be high to deter future breaches.

The way to prevent recidivism is to jail CEOs not fine shareholders.

I didn't mean to suggest they were racist. IMO high immigration is the way governments boost GDP.

It's a way of pretending you're a good person while making protecting the environment & the climate impossible & blocking all but the wealthiest from enjoying parkland.

I'm not a fan of truth in media laws & prefer that people call out the egregious errors online (mainly by Ben Fordham.)

They'd clog up the courts & only the wealthiest would be able to use them.

Keating may talk the talk but he could never walk the walk.

#Immigration numbers were lowest in Australia in the early 1970s when Whitlam was in PM & in the early 1990s when he was treasurer.

Has Fordham been asleep since late February?

Albo has been discussing the #trade problems with regional friends & doing deals which guarantee we provide food to those who allow urea supplies to continue to flow to Australia.

Bible Gateway passage: Ezekiel 25 - New International Version A Prophecy Against Ammon - The word of the LORD came to me: “Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites and prophesy against them. Say to them, ‘Hear the word of the Sovereign LORD. This is what ...

Ezekiel 25:17 may not be what #Hegseth said but it's pretty close.

'17 I will carry out great vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I take vengeance on them.’

A collapse of the Gulf Stream could result in a large drop in temperature in Northern Europe; rapid sea level rise in North America & the failure of crops in Africa.

These predictions are speculative & there's no telling how Australia would change but it's unlikely to be good.
