A reminder: never, ever, call police on someone whose welfare you care about.

Worth noting the Crikey had an article on this back in December with Cam Wilson and, notably given events since, Antoinette Lattouf on the byline.

Advocates for a genocide have no standard they will not violate. They are, after all, advocates for a genocide.

Looks like it does do the thing Adobe claimed it wouldn’t after all.

Still poor form from Nine for using it in the first place, and for not catching it in the editorial process. But seems this is just another reminder this week of the biases of generative models.

Unfortunately of late it’s been used as a platform to launder the transphobia of both Barry and producers.

Respect to the investigations team for running this.

Housing costs, rental or purchase, are only resolved by supply and ending real estate’s position as an investment vehicle.

That means large scale public housing investment to the point that it actively devalues property on a capital value bases. Rental yields are already a poor investment on their own. That leaves the “just park the money” crowd with a simple choice: sell now or watch it depreciate.

Ask any former employee about just how much those comments were not out of context.

Horman’s been awful for years. She just decided to be publicly awful this time.

Looks like NSW Police aren’t as keen to run escort for these scum as Victoria Police are.

George Pell, until Howard croaks anyway.

The Stage 3 tax cuts are so unaffordable in the long term that they are effectively the death knell of what was once Labor’s traditional objectives.

They need scrapping, not expanding.

Incarcerating children increases rates of offending.

Interesting that the BBC article omits the words of Christopher Staker entirely when he spoke at length on behalf of Israel as well.

I guess too much of that was too reminiscent of his defence of Myanmar’s genocide of the Rohingya.

Putting aside all the issues with any foreign national fighting on behalf of other nations in the least complicated scenarios, in the current Pacific context and with Australia’s position against China’s growing involvement in the region I find it hard to believe the entanglements this would potentially produce aren’t considered a fringe benefit.

A country is in a pretty dismal state when the two largest factions are simply arguing between ethnic cleansing and genocide.

The Visit Report is up in full here

It would be wise to consider this a threat.

The senior officer – who can only be referred to as AB for 40 years due to a court order – was charged with high-range drink-driving before police announced the incident in November. His employment status is under review.

Well chosen court ordered pseudonym because “a bastard” really doesn’t narrow it down.

Good to see this. The Accord should never have been established. Concessions to police demands should never be the reward for police violence.

“CPJ is deeply alarmed by the pattern of journalists in Gaza reporting receiving threats, and subsequently, their family members being killed,” said CPJ Middle East and North Africa Program Coordinator Sherif Mansour. “The killing of the family members of journalists in Gaza is making it almost impossible for the journalists to continue reporting, as the risk now extends beyond them also to include their beloved ones.”

Bombing civilians is not a trait of Jewish people. Using access to humanitarian aid and water as a weapon of war is not a trait of Jewish people. Destroying the healthcare systems supporting 2 million people is not a trait of Jewish people.

The US has a major party that is stuffed to the gills with Ur-fascists, Christian nationalists and white supremacists. Do you really think there’s no understanding from those elements of the Republican Party of what’s being done in attempting to cast opposition to the crimes of the Israeli government as opposition to Jewish people in general?
