Well done.
It just confounds me, the hypocritical double-think of people like this skynews host. They’re are able to contort themselves into such farcicle positions. It would be funny if their lack of self reflection didn’t contribute to such horrifying outcomes.
We can’t have a fair minded national discussion about these unresolved issues and contradictions because revanchivist bigots who hoard so much power in this country quash any discussion beginning with yet another culture war through their onsanely large networks of propaganda.
But… dav… why is it always a variation of the name?
Its sticks out, its very noticeable. Surely theres random name generators out there if you want to disguise the account. But why are try to disguise it?
Please answer, tell me your secrets… oh dav of the lake. :p
Oh cool! That mini dragon will keep the rats down!
Hows the snake situation? Theres a lot of grass around there
Thanks for posting this. The Media Watch transcript is a useful quick summary,
In fact, there are reliable migration numbers laying about—and what do they show?
“Over the 12 months to 31 December 2024, NOM [Net Overseas Migration] was estimated at 341,000 – a decrease of 190,000 (36 per cent) …”
- Email, Department of Home Affairs Spokesperson, 21 August, 2025
Which paints a somewhat different picture, no?
And while, yes, the data has been used as an indicator of long-term migration trends, the experts we spoke to assured us that rather than being overwhelmed by migrants in fact, we’re getting fewer:
“… it is our expectation that net overseas migration will continue to fall when the next round of numbers is published in September …”

Cheers for the response. :)
Opened the issue on Lemmy’s github.
Since this post, i found out Sync for Lemmy has a very similar feature. It looks like what i envisioned, but i don’t know how well it works, i’ve only had time for a quick look.
No llm, just trying to explain the idea by giving as full a description as i can because I don’t have the technical lingo to describe it in a more concise way.
Ah fuck! I forgot to consider how many instances there are! I love this shit!
Okay toss that simple solution out the window.
Its an organisation problem. We could organise the instances into smaller thematic groupings, ie
Then, maybe the sub-lists might become more manageable.
I suppose a search function, or a favourites button could be added to help with looking up particular instances quicker multiple times.
Oh right! Then yeah, i like that idea, i noticed its already an option for gifs.
Yeah, i’s leaning towards a feature in the settings as the better option.
I had a look for something like that in the settings, but i didn’t notice one. Did i miss it?
Judging by your username, the video was part of your update last week? Cool update, hadn’t considered videos in the feed as an option Jerboa could have. Cheers. :)
I can’t help but start guessing at the sort of security job this was,
My first thought was as personal security to some politician, maybe even Big Brows Howard himself! Kind of relevant to the article.
But i reckon your job must really have been driving the Armaguard, (money trucks), to and from the banks and casinos, etc.
In which case, wheres the AMA?
Did any drongos ever try a heist?
Oh yeah, my bad. I’s on the Jerboa app. I think the video functionality was just added in this last update.
Edit: Actually, cheers, this was maybe more of a question for the Jerboa community.
Looks an interesting game.
This auto plays, and opens the video when tapped instead of pausing.
Had a quick look on settings and there wasn’t a switch to have autoplay turned off.
Does anyone know where an autoplay or a pause switch is?
no reason for the Australian Government to not do business with Israeli companies if they provide a product/service that the government needs
Not supporting a country whose military and leadership are committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and running an apartheid regime is the reason. Its not rocket science.
In what small ways a country like Australia can push back against the persecution of these people, especially when its an erstwhile ally of ours committing them, we should, and stand up for the rights of humanity.
Be sure to remember there is also self interest as well as morals here. After all we Australians might one day come to rely on the safe harbours these international conventions provide that the Israeli’s (among others) are ignoring and pissing all over.
If there is no reaction and cost for these crimes, we can pack the international institutions up and lock our borders in the very real knowledge that others will come for us and our ‘stuff’, and human history shows ‘they’ always come.
Thats not a world Israelis, Australians, Palestinians or any others should want to live in. Better we call Israel out and try to reduce as much disintegration of international norms as is possible for a middle power to do.
Edit: considering the seeming Israeli worldview maybe its arguable to say they already think they live in that kind of a world. In which case Australians should be acting to dissuade Israelis of that notion, by committing to and enforcing international norms, including in attempting to check Israel.
Hmm, i had a road like that when i rode to work, Orrong rd, if you want to look it up. It was ‘dual carriageway??’ (I think, thats what you call it) and busy as fuck.
Riding along that road sounds similar to how you describe. I don’t know if anyone was really gunning for me, the roads construction feels constricting to the driver if you’re trying to pass a rider, so i’s happy to give the benefit of the doubt when a driver got a bit close.
After about a month or so I realised the council had me sorted, they’d constructed a safe road specifically for riders running parallel to Orrong, of course, until you reached the industrial area, no one ever gives a shit about riders or public transport in industrial areas, that shits me.
“Something… something… SAND!!!.. something… minesite… something… something… the Ore must flow.” Direct quote.
The bus driver bit is very surprising. Got some aggressive drivers out there in brisvegas hey?
But i’m not in the Perth city much, the roads are quieter where I am, pretty sure your inner suburbs brisbane so maybe theres a difference in that.
Not saying you’re wrong, the driver road rage mentality is definitely a thing, especially when it comes to cyclists.
But i’ve been surprised at the difference the 1 metre separation, etc laws have made to drivers general behaviour to cyclists. I think it really set a tone for better behaviour.
Since those laws were introduced i’ve seen one aggressive driver to cyclists. So thats a cool bit of annecdotal progress.
This article is sane washing or the writers need to be far more clear about their definitions.
They’re claiming political violence is down, while conflating political violence, extremist violence, and event specific violence one paragraph to the next.
The reason this is a terrible take is because you currently have unprecedented levels of State violence through organisations like ICE.
The violence being perpetrated by ICE is the most political of political violence. It was promoted, expanded and sent forth by the extremist politicians with an extremist agenda.
By this articles definition of political, the Stasi were simply your local bobby there to help get a cat out the tree.
Sane washing, is normalisation of the extremism wielding power, something the writers warn against. They should consider that advice themselves.
