The Aladins lamp of Paladin - Peter Dutton a backwards look

SFY — 2024-02-23T15:38:44+11:00

We are looking backwards, a historical view of the Paladin matter.

In the swirling vortex of the Paladin Affair, the tale twists and turns through a murky labyrinth of money, power, and dubious decisions. At the heart of this whirlwind is the staggering revelation that Paladin, a company with a spotty track record and minimal paid-up capital, was awarded contracts worth a whopping $423 million over 22 months to provide refugee services on Manus Island. This tale raises eyebrows and blood pressures alike, with the cost of services reaching an astronomical $1600 per night per person, in stark contrast to the $108 that could have covered comprehensive services with a hefty profit margin to boot.

# Peter Dutton's Desperate Struggle for Dunkley: A Closer Look

In the upcoming Dunkley by-election, Peter Dutton's palpable desperation reveals the high stakes for his political ambitions. The fear of defeat looms large, betraying his usually over-crafted, superimposed, badly composed facade with visible signs of distress. Despite attempts to minimise the significance of this election, Dutton's actions and rhetoric scream desperation. His frequent, unfounded attacks on “#Albo," only underscore his precarious position.

SFY — 2024-02-04T17:37:34+11:00

Peter Dutton's attempt at humour regarding Katherine Murphy's departure from The Guardian to work for Prime Minister #Albo was far from amusing. Dutton, not known for his comedic skills, made derogatory comments about Murphy, showing a lack of understanding and finesse in such matters.

Award-winning journalist Katharine Murphy from The Guardian decides to make a career change of sorts and Dutton has gone all Googoo Gaga, really he has lost the plot.

Snitch Tagging - Son't be a snitch

SFY — 2024-01-24T22:10:47+11:00

The Unspoken Etiquette: Why Snitch Tagging is a Social Media Faux Pas

Introduction

In the vast realm of social media platforms, where conversations and opinions flow freely, a certain unspoken etiquette is often expected to be observed by users. One such practice that has garnered attention in recent years is the act of "snitch tagging." This article delves into the reasons why snitch tagging is considered bad and why it's best to avoid it in online interactions.

What is Snitch Tagging?

Snitch tagging, also known as tattle tagging, refers to the act of tagging someone in a conversation or a post that they were not originally a part of. This is usually done to bring the tagged person's attention to the discussion or to draw them into the conversation, often with the intention of starting an argument or creating drama.

The Hidden Costs of Nuclear Power: Cybersecurity Threats and Financial Risks at Sellafield

You may not have heard of "Sellafield" that's because they changed its name, from #Windscale. We don't know why they changed the name but we suspect it was to try and improve its public image because the world nuclear dustbin didn't have a good history - It's a lemon, a glow-in-the-dark lemon, a poisonous glow-in-the-dark lemon, it's a bit of a shitter.

The late-2000s nuclear renaissance, marked by the #Fukushima disaster and cost overruns, faced another setback in 2023. With five reactor start-ups and closures, the industry experienced a net loss of 1.7 GW capacity. Aging reactors led the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to predict 10 closures annually until 2050. However, the industry averaged only 6.1 construction starts and 6.7 reactor startups per year from 2014-23.

The operable power reactors dropped to 407-413, down from the 2002 peak of 438. Global nuclear power's share in electricity generation fell to 9.2%, the lowest in four decades. China dominated with five of the six reactor construction starts in 2023, dispelling hopes of a new nuclear renaissance.

Tim Wilson wants to get back on the gravy train

#TimWilson wants to get back on the gravy train and is up for the fight with two others, ostensibly unknowns which is possibly the only thing in #DimTim's favour….

Wilson lost the seat spectacularly to #ZoeDaniel @zdaniel who has, since being elected, been doing a sterling job, polls show she is extremely well-regarded by the well-heeled #Goldstein voters.

For the #LiberalParty choosing Wilson to stand is likely going to be more of a financial decision than anything else, he is better known than the two others and this means the Libs will have to spend substantially less on personality promotion, it costs a lot to get a "name" put there and build a profile.

Unraveling Media Bias: A Closer Look at the SMH Article on Political Spending

Introduction:

In the world of media, the way stories are presented can significantly influence public perception. A prime example of this is an article published by The Sydney Morning Herald on December 20, 2023, shedding light on the spending habits of political figures. The headline, "Top spending MPs revealed after government promises to do better on transparency," seemingly targets the Labor Party, particularly Anthony Albanese. However, a deeper analysis reveals a nuanced bias that may not be immediately apparent.

Labor Government's Silent Triumph: Revitalizing the NBN for a Connected Australia

Introduction:

In the shadows of past infrastructural chaos, the Australian Labor Government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, has silently and effectively taken steps to rectify the National Broadband Network (NBN) fiasco left behind by the previous administration. Despite the mainstream media's apparent reluctance to shed light on Labor's achievements, the recent completion of the first NBN Fixed Wireless upgrades marks a significant milestone in the journey toward a more connected Australia.

The NBN Resurgence:

After years of facing the aftermath of the #LNP NBN debacle, the Albanese Government has committed a substantial $480 million investment to breathe new life into the NBN infrastructure. The initial focus of this investment has been the NSW South Coast and the Queensland Sunshine Coast, where approximately 16,000 homes and businesses are now reaping the benefits of improved connectivity.

Ex-Premier Campbell Newman rants about Electric Vehicles but seemingly doesn’t read what he quotes

SFY — 2024-01-01T13:29:09+11:00

# Why Campbell Newman is wrong about electric vehicles

Former Queensland Premier Campbell Newman recently wrote a post on X including a link to an article from the Daily Mail, claiming that electric vehicles (EVs) are “a disaster for the environment and the economy”. He also suggested that EVs would make Australia’s most popular ute, the Toyota HiLux, obsolete.

His #X post is here: https://x.com/CampbellNewman/status/1740890671991701629?s=20

However, Newman’s tweet shows a lack of understanding of the facts and benefits of EVs, as well as a selective reading of the article he linked to. In this post, we will debunk some of the myths and misinformation that Newman and other EV critics have spread, and show why EVs are actually a great choice for Australia’s future.

However, he spent less than three weeks on the ground in drought-affected communities outside of his electorate while engaged as the government’s special drought envoy 1. It is unclear whether he ever gave a full account of the money.

Reflecting on Australia's Vaccine Rollout Challenges: A Dive into the Past
Greetings, readers! Today, I invite you to join me on a journey back to July 21, 2021, when the headlines were ablaze with critiques of Scott Morrison's handling of Australia's COVID-19 vaccine rollout. As we revisit this archive piece previously covered by Shannon Molloy for news.com.au, let's explore the nuances of the situation and consider the insights shared by experts at the time.
Molloy's article highlighted the growing backlash against Scott Morrison, with experts predicting that the vaccine rollout could be remembered as one of Australia's significant missteps. The slow and problem-plagued delivery of Covid-19 jabs was attributed to extended lockdowns affecting millions of people, making it a pressing concern in the public discourse.

GBRF The Great Barrier Reef Foundation

SFY — 2022-01-01T09:18:00+11:00

Dive into the depths of a gripping tale as we unravel the enigmatic narrative surrounding the Great Barrier Reef Foundation (GBRF) grant saga. This saga, born in 2018 with the Turnbull Coalition government's controversial $443 million grant, weaves a complex tapestry of politics, power, and financial decisions in the name of protecting the iconic Great Barrier Reef.

The story unfolds with the Controversially Generous Grant, where eyebrows were raised at the colossal sum allocated to the relatively small GBRF. Critics likened it to entrusting an elephant's job to a mouse. The plot thickens further with the revelation that the grant was awarded without a tender process, leaving the foundation and the public in surprise and bewilderment.

Enter the Auditor-General, the unbiased critic in our suspenseful plot. His verdict labels the grant as an unsound decision, adding an unexpected twist to the unfolding drama. The story continues with Goals, Objectives, and Unmet Expectations, as the Turnbull government and the foundation set out to improve the Reef's health. However, every story has its 'but.'

According to the financial review, #Paladin receives $20 Million a month to house refugees “That means on a daily basis it now costs the Australian government over $1600 to house each refugee on Manus, not including food and welfare services, more than double the price of a suite at the Shangri-La hotel in Sydney.”
