Why are we allowing biased newspaper editors to frame our thinking? They're anti-genocide marches.

Except when it can't make any calls because antenna firmware not having the right updates or some bs like that. This industry is a hot mess and I'm about to tap out.

Yea. That's part of it. Keep reading.
Honestly, I'm sick of this industry and wasting my money on them. I'll make do with a new $100 phone from the post office in case I need to make an emergency call. 000 will still work even without a sim.

Over many years the providers & industry have been allowed to manufacture the problem and they now get the opportunity to sell customers the solution with new handsets, all whilst harming competition, increasing profits and cutting costs by shutting down the 3G network.

How is this legal?! So the likes of Telstra are blocking otherwise functional phones?
With Senator David Shoebridge & lawyer Eddie Lloyd. David McBride, a military lawyer, was convicted and imprisoned for his disclosures to the ABC, Australia's national broadcaster, regarding serious misconduct by the country's Special Forces in Afghanistan. On the very day McBride was sentenced, Australia's Minister of Defence and Deputy Prime Minister, Richard Marles, belatedly released an unclassified 3-year report from a body called 'The Afghanistan Inquiry Implementation Oversight Panel'. He claimed that the release had been delayed, pending advice from the Office of Special Investigator, on whether the report “would, or could reasonably be expected to prejudice legal proceedings - specifically current and future war crimes prosecutions”. The panel was to look into how cultural and professional reforms were being implemented in the Australian military, as had been the case for four years, and then in accordance with recommendations laid out in the 2020 Brereton Report, an inquiry into alleged crimes, including war crimes, committed by some Special Forces between 2005 and 2016. Brereton recommended that 19 soldiers be investigated by police for the "murder" of 39 Afghan prisoners and unarmed civilians, and the cruel treatment of two others. Besides McBride, only one soldier has been prosecuted to date, and oddly enough, McBride's case was neither cited as “current” by the Minister of Defence, nor by the Oversight Panel. Nor has its lengthy report had much attention from the media.

It's really not appropriate for a politician, the police minister to boot, to be calling anyone an 'idiot' in the same breath as demanding respect for the police. It's the sort of language I'd accept from a truck driver, not from a top politician.
He is setting the tone of the discussion in an extremely problematic way by dehumanising/othering those desparately trying to stop lethal weapons sales used in crimes against humanity, while he normalises the gathering of war profiteers.
I'm extremely disappainted by this government's policing policy.

"There's nothing but disrespect being shown from some protesters who want to behave like idiots and police will deal with you," he said.
our police minister, everyone.
PSA: respect has to be earned. An industry that arms crimes against humanity and genocide does not deserve respect.
The vic govt is funding this arms expo.
A lot of anti-protest rhetoric from the goverment here. Protesting is a fundamental democratic right.

AFP child abusers. Who cares about the cost. This operation was harmful to the community and to the child, who has a right to/needed proper education around ethics & morals not this cloak & dagger manipulation.
> But while the Albanese government soaked up the plaudits for engineering Assange’s long overdue return, several of the signs on display that evening hinted that not everything was well on the home front. “Assange, McBride, Boyle”, offered one. Another particularly well-worn sign had the demand: “Fix the PID Act”. The WikiLeaks publisher may be free, but the Public Interest Disclosure Act – the whistleblower protection law for federal public servants in Australia – remains broken, as recent high-profile cases demonstrate all too well.

It's not a choice between blaming the scooter or the truck driver. It's a choice between building safe light-vehicle and pedestrian infrastructure or car-centric urban planning.

Stefania Maurizi, John Goetz and Christian Mihr discussed in Georg Büchner Buchladen (bookshop) in Berlin about: “*What is the Purpose of Journalism if War Crimes Are Not Allowed to be Published?*”. I think this is a good question for discussion. What do you think?
