Re "David Speers on #ABCNewsAustralia this evening continuing the mythology around a ‘balanced’ budget."
Yep, all the ABC people maintain the fictions. Kohler tried to transition to mmt but seems to have been told to pull his head in, so he backtracked.
Guess you know that News Corp & Channels 7 & 10 are on the ABC board...
David Speers on #ABCNewsAustralia this evening continuing the mythology around a ‘balanced’ budget.
Australia and Australians suffer whenever the federal government prioritises a budget surplus over services and infrastructure needed to maintain a strong and healthy country and population.

“#Labor has promised to wipe 20 per cent of all HECS debts if elected, but the #Coalition (#LNP, #Liberal, #Nationals) has labelled the policy "profoundly unfair" saying it'll give some of the country's highest earners a boost and penalise those who swiftly paid what they owed.
It comes as new research shows the time it takes to pay off #HECS debts has increased while the earning premium for #graduates halved over the same period.” — #ABCNewsAustralia
A reminder, most #Politicians all sides with the exception of #Littleproud, proudly wear their University educational achievements they earned with little or no HECS debt.

#ABCNewsAustralia Spreading the myth that Australia’s national budget is like a household’s budget.
The Australian government prints its own (fiat) currency. It can’t run out of money, like a household.
ABC News is probably the only news organisation in Australia that can and does dedicate resources to doing this kind of regional reporting (which is why its continued funding is so important), but they really need to cut back on adding strong vignettes to photos in articles about natural disasters to try to make them more “dramatic”. Particularly the photos in the second half of this article are a bit much…
The latest update to this…
If your device feels like it’s on fire when browsing the ABC News website in Australia and you use a content blocker with Safari where you can specify custom CSS selectors for elements to hide, the following selector should help a lot:
div[class*="ActivityFeedItem_underline__"], span[class*="Label_underline__"]
(even though the ABC site uses CSS animations, they have JS that also constantly calls requestAnimationFrame 🔥)
A great piece of analysis from @ABC about company reputations - how to trash them e.g. PwC, Qantas, Colesworth - how to restore them e.g. big 4 banks and that ESG (environmental, social, and governance) done right should be table stakes for corporates today.
Well-written, informative and entertaining analysis. Kudos to Daniel Ziffer.

Lately I am constantly reminded of that great line from William Gibson’s Count Zero:
“And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human.”
“Australian Transport Safety Bureau report lists series of protocol breaches from Qantas over incident involving tool in engine” | #ABCNewsAustralia
”a "cascade of errors" that saw a 1.25-metre tool left in an engine for 300 hours of flying time.”
”a Qantas employee entered false information into the airline's digital maintenance system to say the tool had been accounted for”
An example of the importance of journalism

All that cuddling up to Australia's far-right conservatives obviously paid off for Australia's pathetic cowed national broadcaster ...
Fact-checkers are doing everything they can to obscure the link between Trump and Project 2025. Even though Trump said this about the group behind Project 2025:
"This is a great group, and they're going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our moment will do and what your movement will do when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America."
According to PolitiFact Trump has since said that he doesn't even know what Project 2025 is - so game, set match. Kamala Harris is a liar, not Trump who has lied relentlessly throughout his political and business careers.
The Democrats are also lying when they pointed out that under Trump states will have to provide statistics on the number of abortions performed. What the Project 2025 docs say is that organisations that don't report statistics on abortion statistics will have all federal funding withheld.
So big, big difference. I suppose they could decide to go broke instead...
In Australia, our corrupted national broadcaster the #ABC used its fact-checking unit to accuse the energy minister of lying because he said that it takes 19 years on average to build a nuclear power plant. It's not 19 years it's 18.4 years - so there. Of course, the ABC has become a sort of incompetent, simpering PR agency for the far-right opposition parties.
Fact-checking is fraud. It's also a waste of time because in today's febrile media environment, anyone not hearing what they want to hear will just ignore it. Nice that the fact-checkers, incompetent and corrupted as they are, have decided to become spreaders of misinformation.

Am I alone in finding the revamped ABC Australia news website difficult to scan news on?
Is it just because it's new and I've yet to get used to it, or is it because I'm old and set in my ways. I don't know.

apparently RT have uploaded Julian Assange's interviews to odysee, a cloudflare service. does RT take their reader's privacy serious, maybe not as much as they signal :(
its the same across almost ALL media outlets tho, and if you browse RTs website with tor broser in safest mode, is probably one of the better sites out there!
for comparison #ABCnewsaustralia is i understand WHOLEY served and tracked by akamai now. if memory serves they also use bloody amazon!!...pretty sickening stuff when u consider they are supposed to be the "national broadcaster", lol #technofascism
#akamai #nationalbroadcaster #theworldtomorrow #julianassange
The remainder of the article y the ABC is littered with the sort of innuendo i would expect from tabloid trash not the ABC.
Overstayed his "welcome" at the embassy?? you mean after the newly elect right-wing president worsened his conditions and after video cameras were installed including in his bathroom to spy on the man! #ABCnewsaustralia also neglects to mention that the cia had gained access to his video cameras and was unlawfully spying on him, including spying on his meetings with lawyers, which any reasonable judge would use as cause for dismissing the case.
