Mr Dowling said he had a banner with the words: "From the River to the Sea-

“OOO he said it again!”

Yeah, CPAC.

Last Christmas, a friend of the family said “Every journalist in Australia is a communist.”

I wonder if the name and concept are inspired by the improv comedy Thank God You’re Here, which I notice had an international version in the UK among many other countries.

“It is important to recognize their actions as political terrorism rather than mere protest or criminality,"

The silver lining is, we know they’re terrified.

a ‘far left’

Electorally? None with any real hope, in my view. Possibly some local council members? (I don’t consider DSA social-democracy to be far-left)

There are certainly people with communist and anarchist ideas, organising with like-minded people and engaging in antifascism. I don’t know to what degree they’re organised, and there are efforts from the government to chill them, but they exist as organisations.

From Wikipedia:

The Green Institute is an Australian public policy think tank founded in 2008. The institute “supports green politics through education, action, research and debate”.

In disclosure returns lodged with the Australian Electoral Commission, the institute indicated that it is an associated entity of the Australian Greens. The institute is similar to the Liberal Party aligned Menzies Research Centre and Labor’s Chifley Research Centre.

Forming a “mass movement” approach would be an interesting shift for an institute affiliated with The Greens.

Yeah, that’s an excellent point. I couldn’t easily find official details about pay changes or hours.

I remember someone online somewhere complaining about oat milk companies tricking people into buying overpriced gruel and for some reason it really stuck with me.

The free event, supported by the City of Sydney has been running since 2016, with Lord Mayor Clover Moore saying Raising the Bar was a “fantastic initiative that combines big thinking with a great social experience, delivering free talks in venues you wouldn’t usually expect.”

I’m surprised I hadn’t seen any of these on the City of Sydney events website.

Many countries in the Asia Pacific region rely on fuel that travels through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has blocked for the past month after US strikes on the country. International Energy Agency director Fatih Birol described the resulting global fuel shortage as the worse than the previous Gulf wars and Russia’s war on Ukraine combined.

To conserve resources, government workers in the Philippines have moved to a four-day work week, while Sri Lanka has declared each Wednesday a public holiday.

I missed this news, excellent job making a four-day work week happen, island-friends!

This seems like a golden opportunity to win the four-day week, and even if one sector like this manages to get a foot in the door, it opens up the potential for others. So far, all I can find are a few trials, around 20 small companies in total.

I’m not resistant to AI or LLMs.

Surely you can understand why people assume you are, when you say unnuanced lines like: “AI is fascism. full stop.” , “with AI, all roads lead to fascism.”

We were never at war with Westasia

From news.com.au coverage of political reactions:

Greens senator David Shoebridge posted a screenshot of an article about the arrests, and wrote: “Good.”

For anyone unfamiliar with the NSN, a child-grooming cult, many of Tom Tanuki’s YouTube videos provide solid overviews of them and their close associates.

I know this is a very obvious headline to most people here, although I think it’s still worth publishing as there is a common pro-car talking point about rural areas being locked into personal vehicles. So improving the balance there is important too, showing that even in rural places there are benefits to improving ‘walkability’ of towns.

Posting in Australian News as it’s obviously not just going to be a NSW-only effort.

Yes, it’s obviously the “former” NSN continuing under a new organisation. Let’s see if the government can adjust their aim in time to nip this public effort in the bud.

Their specific emphasis on their Youth Club, officially aimed at 15-18 year olds, is not novel but nonetheless disturbing.
