- Comment on [Video] Sky news called out for endorsing collective starvation of Palestinians 4 days ago:
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.
- Comment on Pay to deport. Australia's shameful return of penal colonies - Michael West 6 days ago:
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.

Just noticed this new account myself! Bad week for dav! Accout after account, tututut…
Yeah its too much, never know, maybe this new account has been improved, but i’d rather not interact with a bot all the time.
Interestingly there were a few comments last week from the u/davriellelouna account. I’d started to hope the person behind it had decided to engage in a more meaningful way, but no go.
- Comment on what is up with u/dwazoup 1 week ago:
Hey Blaze! :)
Didn’t realise the account had been banned places, seemed to be everywhere for a while. Maybe if it is somebody fiddling about with a bot they step off the gas a bit with their posting schedule. Feels like an avalanche of irrelevance at times with all the seemingly aimless, and low substance posts.
I’m all for boosting activity on Lemmy, but activity for activity’s sake risks a slop-like situation.
It also quickly buries posts that may be more engaging quicker than is necessarily necessary. A slower social media doesn’t mean a bad social media after all.

- Comment on Claim 1544 migrants arrive daily misuses data: experts | AAP 1 week ago:
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 …"

To add to and continue your theme,
A Voice from Independent Media
In Sydney, protest organiser Jesse Stewart spoke about the “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory – the key ideological underpinning of the Christchurch shooter who murdered 51 Muslims.
The leaders of neo-Nazi groups were handed the microphone to rail against “Indians, Africans, and Chinese” migrants who were “exploiting” Australian land. They received loud cheers.
In Brisbane, when some participants expressed dismay that Nazis were being platformed, the crowd dismissed them.
- Comment on Do I have permission to create a very unsavoury community? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe if everything that appears on the feed was blurred it could be accepted.
But i don’t see how this wouldn’t contravene Rules 1, and 5 quite often.
Rule 1: Grandma’s are unlikely to be shown this kinda stuff.
Rule 5: I think theres some pretty strict rules about death related content in Australia. I’m not on top of these laws, a moderator though would absolutely have to be.

- Comment on Australia’s gun lobby says it’s ‘winning’ the fight against firearm control as numbers surge 3 weeks ago:
I suppose thats an understandable position for your wife to have taken. Sorry about your workmate.
But, damn! I was so sure it was Armaguard.
Didn’t even know armed security guards for buildings/premises was a thing in Aus. But then i don’t tend to hang around fancy places when they’re closed to see.
I still reckon theres an IAMA in this.
- Comment on Australia’s gun lobby says it’s ‘winning’ the fight against firearm control as numbers surge 3 weeks ago:
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?

- Comment on Australian Government funnelled $2.5B to Israeli arms manufacturers 3 weeks ago:
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.

Whats the difference between this event and a DDoS event?
I was able to access AZ on the browser during the downtime period, i’d assume that wouldn’t be the case with a DDoS?
- Comment on Australia, why are you still obsessed with freeways – when they’re driving us away from net zero? 3 weeks ago:
Haha, yeah it was a pretty hairy ride in places, but other parts were really nice down by the river, even some of the back roads in the welshpool industrial area were nice to ride down.

- Comment on Australia, why are you still obsessed with freeways – when they’re driving us away from net zero? 4 weeks ago:
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.

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.
- Comment on Australia, why are you still obsessed with freeways – when they’re driving us away from net zero? 4 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Australia to recognise Palestinians' right 'to a state of their own', PM says 5 weeks ago:
Gotchya, yeah in terms of control we certainly have more power over the Indigenous rights and Asylum Seekers.
Time for a hot take: (somewhat unrelated)
I actually have come to really credit Dutton for what he did with the boat people issue.
“We don’t comment on on-water matters.”
With that he killed a line of attack used against progressive parties in this country by conservatives.
And suddenly the conversations around asylum seekers arriving by boat couldn’t be a national pinata for the news.
It hasn’t solved any of the fundamental rights violations, but it did take the politics and grand standing way out of it. But the professionals have to carry out their work, but with less fear of a national outrage campaign against their decisions.
I’m not saying it has lead to better delivery of rights, but i am saying he created a situation where the delivery of better rights is more likely. Away from the culture wars and political grandstanding decision making can be clearer.
- Comment on Australia to recognise Palestinians' right 'to a state of their own', PM says 5 weeks ago:
I don’t subscribe to the theories around CIA grand strategy there, the US has many fingers in many pies doesn’talways mean they’repulling the puppet strings.
I’ve learned a bit about that period, and Kerr really seemed to have a boner for using that power and being the big (conservative) dog.
Also i’m not sure its as simple now for the GG to go ahead and do that, i can’t remember the details but i think the GG’s requirements forbuse of that power were significantly tightened in its aftermath.

Wow. Interesting time for sure. I’s under the impression John Howard’s sudden flip was down to the Americans saying go.
Yep, it will have to come down to grass roots.
Thats how Albanese plays everything. Maybe with the possible exception of the Voice to Parliament, he goes about a bees dick further than the public on everything.
- Comment on Australia to recognise Palestinians' right 'to a state of their own', PM says 5 weeks ago:
Until a Government actually takes us down that road i suppose we can’t really know what costs Australians would be willing to endure, so i guess its my hunch.
