04/02/24 05:37 pm Filed in: Peter Dutton | Media
Peter Dutton's attempt at humour regarding Katherine Murphy's departure from The Guardian to work for Prime Minister #Albo was far from amusing. Dutton, not known for his comedic skills, made derogatory comments about Murphy, showing a lack of understanding and finesse in such matters.

Sussan Ley in full counter-intuitive mode over Stage3 tax cuts
In a rather intriguing turn, Sussan Ley has adopted a counter-intuitive stance on the matter of Stage 3 tax cuts. In her recent articulation, which we adorned with the hashtag #AirheadLey, she questions the effectiveness of the tax cuts proposed by @AlboMP and @JEChalmers, stating, "If you can’t afford rent today, how is $15 a week going to help you in 5 months? Cut the spin, where's the economic plan?" Read on… Read More…
Peter Dutton all crybaby over a journalist getting a job - Takes a crack at Katharine Murphy
29/01/24 07:31 pm Filed in: Peter Dutton | LNP
What is wrong with #PeterDutton? The week before last he went all wolly over #Woollies, next he went all Scrooge over losing half of his tax cut and now he’s jibing at #Journalists for changing jobs, what the very fuck is wrong with him?
Award-winning journalist Katharine Murphy from The Guardian decides to make a career change of sorts and Dutton has gone all Googoo Gaga, really he has lost the plot. What’s got Dutton’s dacks in a tangle around his dangle is the fact that “Murpharoo” @murpharoo as she goes by on X is going to work for #Albo. Holy fuck, you’d think she was going to set up a hair restoration clinic in the Cayman Islands with #Liberal party funds and not pay any tax such is spuds outrage. Read on…

The Unspoken Etiquette: Why Snitch Tagging is a Social Media Faux Pas
Introduction
In the vast realm of social media platforms, where conversations and opinions flow freely, a certain unspoken etiquette is often expected to be observed by users. One such practice that has garnered attention in recent years is the act of "snitch tagging." This article delves into the reasons why snitch tagging is considered bad and why it's best to avoid it in online interactions.
What is Snitch Tagging?
Snitch tagging, also known as tattle tagging, refers to the act of tagging someone in a conversation or a post that they were not originally a part of. This is usually done to bring the tagged person's attention to the discussion or to draw them into the conversation, often with the intention of starting an argument or creating drama.

The Hidden Costs of Nuclear Power: Cybersecurity Threats and Financial Risks at Sellafield
23/01/24 05:36 am Filed in: Nuclear | Peter Dutton
The UK's most hazardous nuclear site, #Sellafield, has been hacked by cyber groups linked to Russia and #China.
#PeterDutton will shit himself when he finds out:
Fark, Dutt's hates China but loves #Nuclear and this latest FAIL in #NuclearPower is gonna make his uphill battle to push the nukes on us:
You may not have heard of "Sellafield" that's because they changed its name, from #Windscale. We don't know why they changed the name but we suspect it was to try and improve its public image because the world nuclear dustbin didn't have a good history - It's a lemon, a glow-in-the-dark lemon, a poisonous glow-in-the-dark lemon, it's a bit of a shitter.

Peter Dutton, Matt Canavan & Bush Boy Barnaby are having a lend of you
The late-2000s nuclear renaissance, marked by the #Fukushima disaster and cost overruns, faced another setback in 2023. With five reactor start-ups and closures, the industry experienced a net loss of 1.7 GW capacity. Aging reactors led the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to predict 10 closures annually until 2050. However, the industry averaged only 6.1 construction starts and 6.7 reactor startups per year from 2014-23.
The operable power reactors dropped to 407-413, down from the 2002 peak of 438. Global nuclear power's share in electricity generation fell to 9.2%, the lowest in four decades. China dominated with five of the six reactor construction starts in 2023, dispelling hopes of a new nuclear renaissance. Read More…

Tim Wilson wants to get back on the gravy train
19/01/24 11:13 pm Filed in: LNP | Tim Wilson
#TimWilson wants to get back on the gravy train and is up for the fight with two others, ostensibly unknowns which is possibly the only thing in #DimTim's favour….
Wilson lost the seat spectacularly to #ZoeDaniel @zdaniel who has, since being elected, been doing a sterling job, polls show she is extremely well-regarded by the well-heeled #Goldstein voters.
For the #LiberalParty choosing Wilson to stand is likely going to be more of a financial decision than anything else, he is better known than the two others and this means the Libs will have to spend substantially less on personality promotion, it costs a lot to get a "name" put there and build a profile.

Unraveling Media Bias: A Closer Look at an SMH Article on Political Spending
Unraveling Media Bias: A Closer Look at the SMH Article on Political Spending
Introduction:
In the world of media, the way stories are presented can significantly influence public perception. A prime example of this is an article published by The Sydney Morning Herald on December 20, 2023, shedding light on the spending habits of political figures. The headline, "Top spending MPs revealed after government promises to do better on transparency," seemingly targets the Labor Party, particularly Anthony Albanese. However, a deeper analysis reveals a nuanced bias that may not be immediately apparent.

Hello, the Internet is working! Labor gets on with fixing LNP's woeful disaster: The NBN revisited
Labor Government's Silent Triumph: Revitalizing the NBN for a Connected Australia
Introduction:
In the shadows of past infrastructural chaos, the Australian Labor Government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, has silently and effectively taken steps to rectify the National Broadband Network (NBN) fiasco left behind by the previous administration. Despite the mainstream media's apparent reluctance to shed light on Labor's achievements, the recent completion of the first NBN Fixed Wireless upgrades marks a significant milestone in the journey toward a more connected Australia.
The NBN Resurgence:
After years of facing the aftermath of the #LNP NBN debacle, the Albanese Government has committed a substantial $480 million investment to breathe new life into the NBN infrastructure. The initial focus of this investment has been the NSW South Coast and the Queensland Sunshine Coast, where approximately 16,000 homes and businesses are now reaping the benefits of improved connectivity.

(This article was first published July 2019)
Christopher Pyne, the seasoned political player, has been in the Australian public service for a solid two decades (with no hidden meanings, of course). In that time, he managed to secure quite the sweet 'after employment' deal, complete with substantial superannuation and perks not accessible to the average taxpayer who foots the bill. Fast forward to today, and Chrissie is riding high in a plush gig, continuing his public service stint with EY Oceana (or Ernst & Young for the broader audience). Read more…

Dutton’s Dangerous War Games
Peter Dutton, the leader of the opposition, has once again shown his reckless and warmongering attitude by calling for Australia to send a navy ship to the Red Sea. He claims that this is necessary to protect our economy from the threats posed by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. But his real motive is to boost his own political image and appeal to his right-wing base…

Ex-Premier Campbell Newman rants about Electric Vehicles but seemingly doesn’t read what he quotes
01/01/24 01:29 pm Filed in: Renewables
# Why Campbell Newman is wrong about electric vehicles
Former Queensland Premier Campbell Newman recently wrote a post on X including a link to an article from the Daily Mail, claiming that electric vehicles (EVs) are “a disaster for the environment and the economy”. He also suggested that EVs would make Australia’s most popular ute, the Toyota HiLux, obsolete.
His #X post is here: https://x.com/CampbellNewman/status/1740890671991701629?s=20
However, Newman’s tweet shows a lack of understanding of the facts and benefits of EVs, as well as a selective reading of the article he linked to. In this post, we will debunk some of the myths and misinformation that Newman and other EV critics have spread, and show why EVs are actually a great choice for Australia’s future.

Barnaby Joyce "Drought Envoy" - Where's the money?
01/01/24 10:13 am Filed in: LNP Where's the money?
Barnaby Joyce, the former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, claimed $675,000 in expenses for the nine months he was a drought envoy and was allocated two staff members at a cost of about $200,000. However, he spent less than three weeks on the ground in drought-affected communities outside of his electorate while engaged as the government’s special drought envoy 1. It is unclear whether he ever gave a full account of the money.
