KPMG has admitted to multiple ethical failures at its most senior levels. Labor must review all current contracts, ban KPMG from future contracts until they've been properly investigated, break up & regulate the Big 4 & increase penalties for bad behaviour & ethical failures.

Everyone has to expect to work in a number of different jobs over their lifetime
Why are these men so friggin special?

I know this'll ruffle feathers but I agree with this Food/Water watch analysis. Diverting renewable energy away from fossil phase-out and climate adaptation and towards melting graphics card to power chatbots is the formal end of moral purpose for clean technology.

Job applicants are using AI to write resumes and prep interview answers.
Companies are using AI to screen those applications and conduct initial interviews.
We’ve officially automated both sides of a process meant to measure human connection.
The irony is genuinely unreal.

But you need the will to stand up to it loudly. You need the will to come together and say no. You can't be apathetic about it. You can't say "well let's come up with some compromise." You'll compromise away the world and forget it was ever any different.

It's such a tired refrain in the environment, climate, and conservation arena, and it's been used to divide and wedge us, with results including the shambolic, oxymoronic 'safeguard mechanism ', and the far-from-adequate EPBC 2.0, among others.
