Technically, it's an Imperial German Army sturmtruppen in 1918. So, not a Nazi.

But wouldn't it make more sense to have a picture of Australian corpses littered around Fromelles instead? Are troops and all that.

OK I'll say it once and then we can move on, I hope. There is no significant additional expense in changing the silhouettes on crossing signs. They all need to be changed at some point. The change over is being done on this basis. And as fluff pieces that have completely occupied the 'mainstream' (read rabid right wing misogynist) media go it is pretty insubstantial. Will it significantly improve women's rights and lot in Australia. No.

On the other hand there are apparently more CEOs named John than there are women CEOs and the OECD reports it will be 170 years before women bridge the gender pay gap. There is a real problem here and realigning all of the little subtle ways women are underrepresented and valued is part of the solution.

Also harden the gently caress up princesses and get over it already.

A behavioural surveillance scheme being trialled by a Queensland council in an attempt to anticipate antisocial and illegal acts has prompted concern, with civil liberties advocates saying the technology is “straight out of 1984” and has been linked to racial profiling.

The Queensland privacy commissioner, Philip Green, confirmed he had not been consulted by Toowoomba regional council over its trial of “privacy-invasive” behavioural recognition software with CCTV cameras, which has been linked to racial profiling in the United States.

Toowoomba’s foray into behavioural surveillance technology was also criticised by civil libertarians who warned that people deemed “abnormal” by an algorithm faced being harassed by authorities.

On Monday the council rolled out a month-long trial of “camera analytics software”, which purportedly links with CCTV networks to identify safety risks posed by members of the public.

The technology, sold by a company called iOmniscient, includes facial and number-plate recognition technology and touts an ability to anticipate antisocial behaviour in crowds, such as vandalism and other crimes.

It's pretty miserable being in the most economically stable and progressive passage of governance in recent Victorian history while knowing it won't last because the paper is having a poo poo fit about apex gang and trans kids.
