hate to say i told ya so, but... (when I first mentioned this to my lecturers they all said they couldn't see it happening because of the privacy concerns and data speed issues...lolok) _____ WA police surveillance cameras: AI technology to monitor public spaces WA police launch real-time AI camera surveillance to catch criminals WA Police will become the first force in the country to use real-time AI-generated facial recognition in public spaces. The state government on Friday launched the Overt Live Facial Recognition program with a trial of the cameras at the police academy in Joondalup The technology monitors groups of people from police vans and compares faces against a database of targets in real-time. https://www.nine.com.au/australia-news/wa/wa-police-launch-ai-camera-surveillance-to-catch-criminals-20260619-p608c7.html #AusPol #Australia #WAPol #policing #Criminology #CriminalJustice #tech #technology #surveillance #surveillanceTech #AI #RightToPrivacy

#auspol A monoculture is just such a repellent thing to say that you want in a country, and I think you have to be remarkably stupid, remarkably bigoted – or both – to think it is a good idea. What's the logical extension of a monoculture? Forget about whether this is about skin colour, accents or languages. Sorry, only one type of restaurant allowed, ever. No, you can't have nut milk because you're lactose intolerant, you can have an espresso or you can have real cow's milk and shit your pants like the inventors of the monoculture. No, different haircuts are not allowed, men get one specific type of haircut, women another and if you go bald you better wear a fucking wig because bald people don't fit into the monoculture. Everyone better learn cursive again because we'll have none of that weirdo pansy fucking touch typing bullshit. And the nuclear family will go outright critical. Not straight? Better be willing to marry someone of the opposite sex and drop out a couple of babies in a traditional gender role because anything else is out of place and totally inappropriate. Monocultures are a figment of the imagination, a fascist fucking Aryan dream, and anyone who dares speak of monocultures in anything other than a derisive tone needs to be kicked to the curb and laughed out of public life. Monocultures don't look real as Cardassians or Romulans in Star Trek, let alone in real life. Fuck this idiocy.

Awful news. A company that was going to buy Australia's only manganese smelter out of administration has dropped out. Manganese is essential for hardening steel. Unless a deal is done *by Monday*, the plant will be closed and liquidated. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06-12/tas-liberty-bell-bay-consortium-falls-over/106790624 #auspol

Look what France is up to. https://www.politico.eu/article/gabriel-zucman-economist-france-wealth-tax/ Every country in the world should follow suit. How many governments would be prepared to put the likes of Gina Reinhardt in their place ??? #FrancePol #auspol2026 #auspol #canpol #nzpol #taxtherich @eddyjokovich@aus.social @fixatedpersonsunit@aus.social

@jhaue@aus.social Young Albo would be shocked at old Albo. This isn’t even politics, just an old man working on his career after politics, not working for the people. Shame he has no guts to do stuff that would make a difference to this country. #Auspol

Crikey | Hanson pleads for help, the ADF pleads for noodles, and Cochon pleads to see Milton Dick’s $485 tie by Cochon Truffier AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has been found to have billed Australian taxpayers almost $16,000 for private charter flights to flood‑hit regions of Queensland—a claim that contradicts her earlier statement that the travel would cost “no cost to the taxpayer.” The tax‑funded journey began on Gina Rinehart’s Gulfstream G700, flying from the Sunshine Coast to Mount Isa, and then continued to Cloncurry and Julia Creek before returning to Mount Isa.

At the risk of offending someone... The people opposed to the CGT changes are the worst sort of people. Like, anyone who can look at the horrid mess of Australian society as it presents itself to young people, and then go "I don't like it cause I'll be worse off." ... In the bin with you, knob head. #AusPol

I am quite critical of the Australian Labor Party, and I think with good reason. But it's also clear that there is significant opposition to even the most basic redistributive measures. #AusPol

"Critics argue targeting CGT, which applies to all investments including new shares and crypto, limits one of the only wealth-growth avenues available for young people." And here I was thinking that the main wealth growing avenues people had (young, old, whoever) was working and producing goods and services for other people. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-17/jim-chalmers-defends-impact-of-tax-changes-on-young-investors/106689268 #Auspol

somehow i missed this two days ago -- Kos Samaras: https://johnmenadue.com/post/2026/05/a-decade-of-dog-whistles-and-a-decade-of-lost-voters/The Coalition’s path back to government runs through roughly 25 seats. The overwhelming majority of them sit in greater Sydney and greater Melbourne where the combined Indian and Chinese population is already large and still growing fast. These diaspora hear the Coalition talk about out-of-control migration and vote accordingly. #AusPol #WhyTheFuckIsLabor #HahahahaLiebs #NatsAreNuts #GreensYEAH #VoteGreens #VoteProgIndies #PHONkedinthehead
