Especially when you start to suspect the entire purpose of these robots is to be put to use for military purposes, that’s where the $$$ are.

🧵Spotted at a Small All Ages Music Gig in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A very serious looking teen (15?) is standing against a wall, watching the lead singer of an awesome band* own the stage.
Every now and then, Dad putting a hand on Teen's shoulder. Checking in.
Stoic cool nod.
Yeah, this is okay. (1)

Raising the age of criminal responsibility from 10 to at least 14 is a catalyst for change. Good change. For kids, communities and the budget bottom-line. Here is Rev. Bill Crews’ message to the NSW Government.

The Point Live: Gas, politics and the coming budget. All the day's events, live Welcome to a special edition of The Point Live, as we cover off the first day of the Senate’s Select Committee on the Taxation of Gas Resources, as well as take a look at what is shaping up in the bud...

Make no mistake - the gas industry know the govt is going to have to do something. So right now it is lobbying like all hell to get a tweak to the PRRT to re-label it a "windfall profits tax".

The govt will claim a win and the gas industry will carry on taking the piss.

The on-off war will continue until members of the Trump administration run out of inside trades they can make

Unfortunately I am aware of this.

AI image reminiscent of Trump’s post of himself as Jesus. In this one, Jesus is smothering someone with a pillow while surrounded by people of all the world’s nationalities. They’re all smiling and looking hopeful. Jesus is bathed in light and there’s a US flag in the top, left corner.

Harsh but fair.

Vol 2 arrived yesterday. I totally agree.

I want Tim Wilson to tell Ben Roberts Smith to use his super to fund his defence…

Straya - where an alleged serial murderer can get bailed, but children who allegedly steal groceries can get remanded for months in rape factories

A can of mountain culture moon dust stout sits next to a glass of mountain culture moon dust stout. There is stuff in the background, but that doesn't matter.

Senator Wyden can’t say it plainly without losing his security clearance, but this raises the alarm that Kash & crew have decided they can illegally surveil Americans without a warrant.

Oooh so close to my dream job!

They’ve been undermining elected governments elsewhere for as long as I can remember

A true Labor Govt would dismantle the Productivity Commission and laugh at anyone who suggested it did any good.
