Australia’s top bureaucrats want to block sharing of clips from parliament on social media to save them from ‘ridicule’
Secretaries board concerned material posted without proper context as Greens warn ban could result in lack of transparency
The nation’s top bureaucrats want the Albanese government to ban video footage from parliamentary hearings being edited and shared on social media by politicians, in an extraordinary attempt to stop online ridicule and abuse.
But the Greens say highly paid public service chiefs shouldn’t be allowed to control footage from open parliamentary hearings, warning the proposed controls would limit a key tool of government transparency.

I'm currently in the middle of PhD research that is showing unequivocally that this is not even close to a thing. Women are still massively underrepresented in the curriculum and almost every teacher I interviewed raised the manosphere's influence on male students as an explicit blocker.

The IDF, and those who fought for the IDF in the genocide in Gaza, should not be celebrated or platformed in any country that believes in humanity and basic international justice. They should not be allowed to use the Sydney marathon as a platform this weekend.

What is wrong with this place? Politicians are meant to be here making laws to protect democracy, to protect Australians, to protect freedom of speech. Instead, the Greens are fighting Labor and the Coalition to keep Australians safe from their own government.

I tried copilot to get around how bad outlook search is but even that didn't work. Was it designed by a spy agency or something.

Surely there is some mistake! There's no way this tax applies to me, a retired diplomat who lives in Paris who spent millions of dollars renovating the 12 million dollar apartment I never intended to live in. There must be some mistake

When AI companies talk about the risks of AI, they’re exaggerating and misleading so people aren’t talking about the real harms we’re seeing right now. That’s why it’s important to examine the tech, not listen to the companies and CEOs.
