Sub to Schwartz media if you’ve got the dosh btw. One of the few Aussie media orgs that still does real maintstream journalism.

The owners of Schwartz Media are zionists and it has been under boycott by Palestine activists for a while.

It’s on a list here: https://palestinetoolkit.org/hold-institutions-accountable/media-and-arts/#boycott-schwartz-media

This article also gives some background: https://www.crikey.com.au/2023/04/24/statements-from-the-soul-zionism-indigenous-sovereignty/

The designation is particularly ridiculous considering it was the US that ran a campaign of terrorism against Cuba: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mongoose

“[Supporting Israel] is the best $3 billion investment we make. Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.” - Joe Biden, 1986

“I’ve often said, Mr President, that if there were not an Israel, we’d have to invent one.” - Joe Biden, 2022 (speaking to Israeli President Isaac Herzog)

“Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one American soldier, and is located in a critical region for American national security.” - US Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig, 1981

I assume you mean the approvals, not the protestors

This would do the opposite of calming tensions…

I’m wondering where on earth he’s getting the “$70,000 loss” figure from. House prices in Sydney are not down from 2017…

Just put archive.is/ in front of the URL, e.g. https://archive.is/https://www.wsj.com/world/u-s-unimpressed-with-ukraines-victory-plan-ahead-of-biden-zelensky-meeting-23e87bff

Huh, weird. Possibly a problem with your Firefox install, or even an anti-virus thing apparently: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1444114

Huh, I didn’t think the Wayback Machine de-paywalled, cheers! (EDIT: Ah, I see now that SMH just has a free-articles limit.) I’ve changed the link to the Wayback snapshot since I prefer it when possible.

No security warning for the archive.is link for me, on Firefox or Chrome 🤷‍♀️ Was it flagged by an extension or something?

The ban on Chinese companies for 5G infrastructure at least made some sense.^

Electric cars, though, seems to be just transparently economic warfare against China. Why not petrol cars? Why not every other Chinese consumer electronic device?

And it’s economic warfare that will ultimately be to the detriment of the climate, you’d have to think.

I only just noticed the location 😆 I’m glad nobody would have taken the test seriously

EDIT: Ok, so apparently it was just send to everyone in the bottom half of Australia, but at least it was clearly marked as a test - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-25/bom-tsunami-warning-alert-weather-queensland-nsw-vic-tas/104394044

Federal Labor Hunter MP and former coal miner Dan Repacholi said the government’s decision to approve the mine extensions was necessary to get renewable projects off the ground.

“Coal mining produces the power, produces the steel, to make these renewable projects actually happen,” he said.

“Without coal, they will never ever happen.”

What a load of bullshit.

The headline on the article page is (currently) “Boy, 16, fatally stabbed at shopping centre in Melbourne’s west”, so I don’t know why the share-preview headline has ‘allegedly’

I think it’s a meme in itself to use it incorrectly, now

Unlike GURPS though, they probably didn’t have their offices raided by the FBI because the jackbooted thugs were too stupid to understand the difference between fiction and real life.

lol, I’d never heard about this: https://www.sjgames.com/gurps/Roleplayer/Roleplayer19/Raid.html

The agents who raided our office grumbled loudly in my presence about the “manual for computer crime” that we were publishing, but (aside from holding our hardware and text files) they have taken no further action against the book.

Penny Wong: “deeply concerned”

👏👏👏

A cooperative is one way to start on that: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-10/supermarket-alternative-co-ops-save-money/104078660

Profits have increased as a percentage of revenue (i.e. profit margins have increased).

If it was simple and clear, only the lowest rate would get any business.

The big 4 banks don’t want that either, though.

I don’t believe the big banks are “infuriated”. The current situation is no doubt the best situation it’s possible for them to effect. They could, as you point out, change their own processes, and they’ve got a lot of market power they could use to change other things as well. But they haven’t.
