gotta say, i’m pleasantly surprised by #bluesky — the community, the quality of the app and how fast it is growing. it’s not yet a perfect replacement for twitter, but i can imagine it becoming my primary social media site soon. grab an account & come say hi. (same handle)

A very senior person in Defence leaked information about the cancellation of a $7 billion satellite contract- the exact same offence David McBride was charged with, and of course no police investigation There's one rule for the senior officers club and another for the rest of us

This is the ad that triggered Trump operative Charlie Kirk. It would be a real shame if it went viral

Even Space Karen now freely admits a #Trump Win would crash the US #Economy (and by extrapolation, damage the global economy) But, he says, we need to be poor. He means us, not him, obviously. He means tax cuts for the him, and #Trump's mates. meidasnews.com/news/trump-al…

Given these findings by the Inspector of the NACC it is hard to see how the NACC can survive and retain its credibility without immediate and unambiguous accountability. This is not just revisiting the decision on Robodebt, it is now also about Commissioner Brereton’s future

Likely new state LNP MP Amanda Stoker talks to ABC on nuclear in Queensland. “If it became part of the federal scene, we should look at it.”

Vice President Harris: The Attorney General of Texas is suing to get their hands on the private medical records of women who leave the state to get care. So see what is happening. Donald Trump won’t let anyone see his medical records. But these guys want to get their hands on yours?

A reminder that over the past 20 years, Peter Dutton has bought and sold over 12 properties, claiming many of them as his home and avoiding capital gains tax. Two years ago he sold his Palm Beach house he bought for $2.3M, for $6M - netting him a profit of $3.7 million. #pfffft
