The Juice Media: "Congratulations President Trump"

The Australien Government has made an ad about our next federal election, and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

Penny Wong's response to the International Criminal Court's move differed to that of the United States, with Washington highly critical of the decision to issue arrest warrants for Israel's prime minister and a military official.

#auspol Regarding the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024 (aka. the social media kids ban), I sent a letter to my local federal MP + senators, and suggest you do the same.

'The US voted against the proposal along with Israel.'

This is kinda huge.

Post-Trump election, Albanese govt suddenly breaks ranks with the US and votes for two separate initiatives at the UN recognising Palestinian sovereignty, the sort of stuff that previously would have been opposed or abstained on.

It's a signal - and a very strong one - that it is not business as usual between the current elected government of Australia and the incoming US administration.

About fucking time, but good job again Minister Wong and the Labor govt.

Australia backs UN proposal recognising 'permanent sovereignty' of Palestinians over natural resources

The vote by Australia in a UN committee puts the country at odds with the United States and Israel, and has angered Australia's Jewish lobby groups.

I'm glad it's working for you @roland
Sadly, archive.is seems to be blocked in Australia now. I've tried two different ISPs, so the block is probably at the government level.

I've been sending this link to the men in my life, because while they're not as likely to notice it without their attention being called, I know they are concerned about abortion access. And I know there are men on here who probably haven't seen it either.

Orange hospital restricts access to abortion for no good reason. NSW only has two hospitals which offer abortion care.

They're trying to do this in the dark and quiet, let's not let them.

Orange Hospital directs staff to no longer provide abortions to patients without 'early pregnancy complications'

Leaked documents show staff at the public hospital in Orange can no longer provide abortion services for patients who present without medical complications, further restricting regional women's access to time-critical reproductive health care.

Albanese Govt fails critical test. Again.

Banks will *not* be made responsible for scams perpetrated on customers, as in the UK, offering zero disincentive to improve systems and leaving the risk and fault with often vulnerable individuals.

Instead, we have a complex system of shared responsibility and enforcement stretched across multiple industries and agencies.

It's like everything these fuckers do is deliberately convoluted, run through 20 committees and watered down to the path of least resistance.
