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

“We have to recognise that the world is committed to net zero – more than 80% of our trading partners are committed to net zero (…). The world is changing. We can pretend that’s not happening, as some in Australian domestic politics do. Or we can prepare.” https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/13/australia-fossil-fuel-exports-renewables-cop-chris-bowen #Canada #CDNPoli #Australia #ClimateCrisis #ClimateBreakdown #ClimateChange #NoPipelines

#jews #australia #immigrants #migrants #multiculturalism As retarded as it sounds, leftist/globalist jew-puppets in Australia really do refer to third-world immigration as the country's "special sauce".

I've lived in Australia for ten years. The bloke doing our solar installation today poked his head into the house. "Have you got a manhole?" A manhole? Like a hole in a road? Apparently this loft hatch is a "manhole" in this country. Crazy talk. #australia

#Australia One Nation’s surge in the polls suggests, for now at least, it is vying to be the most popular political party in the country. It does not accept the overwhelming evidence that the planet is warming and that extreme weather is getting worse. Instead, it argues the climate change department should be abolished because –in the strawiest of strawman arguments– it hasn’t changed the climate https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/14/climate-denial-in-vogue-pauline-hanson-australia-cop31-ntwnfb #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

I'm useless at painting and drawing, but sometimes I can create a photograph that looks a bit like a painting. This Australian scene reminds me of some of the C19th landscape works I've encountered. #Photography #Landscape #Australia #Painting

English – The Conversation | Australia’s economy slows as households tighten their belts, while AI investment surges by Stella Huangfu, Associate Professor, School of Economics, University of Sydney AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Australia’s economy grew only 0.3 % in the first quarter of 2026, a slowdown from the 0.9 % pace at the end of 2025, while GDP per‑person fell 0.1 %—a sign that households are not feeling richer despite overall growth. Higher fuel and fertiliser prices linked to the Middle‑East conflict, the end of government fuel discounts, and rising energy costs pushed households to spend more on essentials and cut back on discretionary items. The strongest area was private investment, especially in machinery, data‑centre infrastructure and artificial‑intelligence projects in New South Wales and Victoria, whereas net trade dragged growth – exports fell due to coal and iron‑ore disruptions while imports rose, partly from data‑processing equipment. Government spending fell and mining output declined after Cyclone Koji, while consumer‑facing services such as retail, accommodation, food, arts and recreation remained weak. The fall in per‑capita GDP raises the risk of a “per‑person recession” if the trend continues into the June quarter, and it signals that higher interest rates are already weighing on spending; consequently the Reserve Bank is expected to hold rates at its June meeting, balancing lingering inflation pressures against an increasingly split‑economy where digital‑tech sectors expand while many consumer sectors stay under strain.

English – The Conversation | Almost 3 million workers will get a 4.75% pay rise in July. But wages can’t catch up with inflation by John Buchanan, Professor in Working Life, Discipline of Business Information Systems, University of Sydney Business School, University of Sydney AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Around 2.8 million of Australia’s lowest‑paid workers will receive a 4.75 % award‑wage increase on 1 July 2026, with the roughly 100 000 lowest‑paid employees – many women in part‑time, casual roles in hospitality, health, retail and administration – getting an almost 6 % rise that lifts the national minimum wage to $26.44 an hour ($1 004.90 a week). Despite the boost, the Fair Work Commission’s expert panel warned that real earnings are still falling, noting a 5.9 % decline in purchasing power over the past five years as inflation has outpaced wage growth since June 2021. The panel deemed a larger real‑wage increase “impractical” amid ongoing price shocks from the Middle‑East conflict and forecasted inflation of up to 7.25 % if oil prices surge, leaving workers’ buying power under pressure and highlighting the need for future, gender‑focused wage adjustments.
