Holy gently caress they basically had to investigate who set the fake bomb themselves, the police obviously weren't interested in doing anything about it until the media picked up the story even though they'd been given the name of the guy two months before they bothered making an arrest E: instead of handing the case over to the terror police they assigned a junior constable who then went on leave

It's pretty funny how they'll radicalise an autistic 12 year old with an ISIS fixation - who goes to then for help - to get numbers but won't even worry about poo poo that the bomb squad has to spend hours dealing with.

Inmate wrongly released "may not be charged" after turning himself in when he finds out he wasn't meant to be released from Long Bay. gently caress the police - even trying to pass someone doing them a solid to fix their gently caress up as magnanimity.

i had no idea yanis varoufakis was actually an australian citizen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AI8RG6nMGg the start is deep in the weeds with global finance and 'cloud capital' and some of the questions (and answers) about china are absolutely r-worded but it's still jarring to hear someone actually talk about the new cold war in the national press club that's not complete psycho

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-18/farrell-not-sure-if-the-us-is-australias-most-trusted-ally/103602224 Australia's Trade Minister Don Farrell has come under fire from the opposition for saying he's "not sure" the United States is Australia's most trusted ally and instead arguing New Zealand is. Senator Farrell, who was filling in for Foreign Minister Penny Wong during Senate Question Time, made the comments after being questioned by the opposition's Claire Chandler about why the Australian government had not acted in line with the US – which is yet to restore funding to the main aid agency in Gaza, UNRWA. On Friday, Australia resumed its additional funding to the aid agency, following Canada and the European Union doing the same, but the agency's largest donor, the US, continued its freeze. "Why is the Albanese Labor government acting in opposition to the United States — our most trusted international partner — who await the outcomes of the investigation into UNRWA and in the interim is pursuing alternate means of delivering more humanitarian assistance?" Senator Chandler asked. Senator Farrell said he took issue with the first statement in the question. "I'm not sure the United States is our most trusted ally," he said. "I would have said New Zealand in the whole history of time. "I would have said our closest international ally is New Zealand. "But we are very close to the United States, I freely concede that." Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Birmingham was quick to criticise the comments. "It beggars belief that a cabinet minister in the foreign affairs and trade portfolio would be so eager to talk down Australia's partnership with the US," he said in a statement. "Senator Farrell's statement is something I would expect from the Greens rather than a senior government minister. "Given the prime minister has described the US as 'our closest ally, our principal strategic partner' how can a key minister reject the notion of the US being our most trusted partner?" He also pointed to the AUKUS partnership as an example of the US being Australia's closest ally. "As much as we love our Kiwi cousins, it is the US who we are asking to share with us their most sensitive defence technologies," he said.

Just in case you were on the fence about whether the NT cop awards were racist, here is one. Don't worry though, they renamed it ... in 2022 ... as a result of the coronial inquest quote:The name of the Nugeda award was changed as there was a concern that some people may take the word/meaning out of context Inceltown has issued a correction as of 23:59 on Mar 18, 2024 |

I love the cranks over at Michael West and hope they keep shining on. The courts have decided that just because a minister position is changed it does not wipe the slate clean of FOI requests previously submitted.
