”Science is clear. It says we need to stop burning fossil fuels. But Dutton's big donors, like Gina Rinehart, don't want that - it's clear who he's listening to”.
Skip the question if someone "believes" in climate change. Ask if someone *accepts* the evidence-based science or not. It’s not religion.

"A memo sent to Australian collaborators in US-funded research projects seeks assurances that they and their institutions have no involvement in diversity, equity and inclusion (#DEI) initiatives, “environmental justice”, “gender ideology extremism” or “any party that espouses anti-American beliefs”. It asks whether they have received any funding from China, including Confucius Institutes and “non-state actors”, along with Russia, Cuba or Iran. The 36 questions also include queries on how the projects “create measurable benefits” for the US."
Dealing with something ridiculous at the moment that is a great example of just how 'easy' it really is to close down exposed data:
Found a server recently with no access controls at all that was hit by ransomware in May 2024 and most of the data is encrypted. (It got hit by an automated script, it wasn't targeted by a ransom group)
Found a non encrypted directory:
The company is STILL uploading, monthly, hundreds of millions of records of logs with their clients data.
Tried to reach out to the company, nothing. Company is from AUS so I tried ASD, nothing.
I sent an email to AUSCERT, they validated with me the issue and forwarded the information and my contact to ASD, they also tried to reach out to the company themselves.
Not a word from anyone and the server is still exposed a month after my initial alerts.
Logs are still being uploaded to the server so it's obvious no one did anything.
So what am I supposed to do here?
Fixed it! Billboard on the way into Newcastle from Advance Australia. #truth #lies #politics #rightwing #AtlasNetwork #fossilfuels #money
If you're an Aussie, and you get hit by Meta allowing women to be called objects and queer to be mentally ill (Or inspired by those actions)... Remember, over here, that's a crime. You can report it.

#Revolution had a #Socialist commune made of #Paris!
Not a point heavily emphasized in primary school history books.
Though surely some politically aware primary teacher somewhere in #Australia, declared their classroom to be a socialist commune?
Any reports from readers?
Seriously people how hard is it to be considerate when parking. Is this the new normal or do we need an ad campaign or something?
