I have to be honest, in the footage that I saw and was circulating in the public domain, I never heard anyone saying "gas the Jews", as has been claimed.
But that doesn't take away the seriousness of what was said.

The legislation and its details are not what bothers me here.
It's that we are still seeing legislation being drafted, amended and deals done in secret out of public view.
Democracy is a failure.
As is political party's commitment to integrity and transparency.
They're all addicted to secrecy and lies.
It's a one party oligarchy.

More often than not, conservatives expose themselves as the biggest hypocrits in the country.
They've been critical of pandemic-driven work from home habits, pounding the issue relentlessly, claiming getting workers back into the office is a priority as work from home is no longer acceptable.
Now, with the new 'right to disconnect' laws breezing through Parliament, the conservatives are using modern work from home habits as examples of why they oppose the new laws and think they're bad, citing they're incompatible with the modern workplace.
Unbelievable hypocrisy!

One of Australia's leading grocery store chains, Coles, has been implementing customer-tracking cameras since 2019.
Now they've just signed a contract with Palantir.
Palantir is also a partner of the CIA.
Shopping for groceries just got even creepier.

Australian Labor Party is the worst party.
Liberal Party of Australia is equally terrible.
The Greens just lie - I'm living proof.
The situation in AusPol is the worst in modern history.

There's that term again, "aspirational", being used as cover for 'wealthy'.
The Government is going after wealthy individuals and the conservatives are upset their wealth is being targeted.
They're trying to shift the focus off their wealth by calling themselves and their friends "aspirational".

The Coalition has no credibility to argue against any Labor Government on transparency.
None whatsoever!

The Coalition is complaining about the Labor Government ramming legislation through the Parliament and the Senate without proper scrutiny or debate.
That's a joke!
When the Coalition was in office they done the exact same thing and had become notorious for ramming through national security and mass-surveillance legislation with no debate and often in near-secrecy.

The environmental destruction and slaughter of all forms of wildlife that is occurring to throw up industrialized farms of wind turbines is heartbreaking.

Australia's current protections (it's offensive to even call it that) are hopelessly inadequate and fundamentally broken.
In Australia, we prosecute whistleblowers.
And that's just wrong!
Richard Boyce, David McBride... anyone?!
