Should we delay the Voice vote? "IndyWatch Feed Economics.au"

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese should not abandon the Voice referendum at least not yet. But if the polls continue their present trend, he will have to seriously consider it.

The choice is stark. If the referendum is put and lost, a very sensible proposal and all of the exhaustive consultation with Indigenous people would be lost, never to be regained.

The anguish among Indigenous people, the vast majority of whom support the Voice, will be palpable.

Further, Australias international reputation would be tarnished. After the loss of the republic referendum, people outside Australia thought we were just silly. If the Voice goes down, they will think we are racist, no matter how many hands-on-heart denials from No voters.

That will mean some of our tourism industry will suffer. Plenty of foreign tourists come to Australia for natural beauty and ancient culture. They will be turned off.

The cost is simply too high to risk. That is a good ground for calling off the referendum if the polls point to defeat. At least the very good model can stay on the table for another day, even if it requires new enabling legislation later.

Without polls changing direction, there are also good Machiavellian reasons for calling the referendum off, but calling it off as late in the day as possible.

If the polls look poor and he does have the leadership quality to call it off, he will have to be a bit Machiavellian about it and rely on the dictum that the ends justify the means.

The referendum must be held between no earlier than two months after the Referendum Bill was passed and no later than six months. And it must be on a Saturday. The Bill was passed on 19 June. So, the latest date for the vote is 16 December.

There has to be 33 days for campaigning before the voting date. So, the writ for the vote must be issued (by the Governor-General on the advice of the Government) by 12 November.

If Albanese has not set the date for the vote by 12 November, the referendum is off. And if, on 12 November he sets a date for the vote, that vote can only take place on 16 December. If he wants it earlier, he must advise the Governor-General to issue the writ correspondingly earlier.

Albanese can just nominate any Saturday after 19 August without advising the Governor-General to issue the writ, and still call it off. But once he advises the Governor-General to issue the writ for his chosen day at least 33 days...

Fractures within the newly formed AUKUS 'alliance' "IndyWatch Feed Politics.au"

Not everyone is on board with the terms of the AUKUS arrangement, writes Dr Binoy Kampmark.

ANY SECURITY arrangement with too many variables and multiple contingencies, risks stuttering and keeling over.

Critical delays might be suffered, attributable to a number of factors beyond the parties concerned. Disputes and disagreements may surface. Such an arrangement is AUKUS, where the number of cooks risk spoiling any meal they promise to cook.

The main dish here comprises the nuclear-powered submarines that are meant to make their way to Australian shores, both in terms of purchase and construction. It marks what the U.S., UK and Australia describe as the first pillar of the agreement. Ostensibly, they are intended for the island continents self-defence, declared as wholesomely and even desperately necessary in these dangerous times.

Factually, they are intended as expensive toys for willing vassals, possibly operated by Australian personnel, at the beck and call of U.S. naval and military forces, monitoring Chinese forces and any mischief they might cause.

While the agreement envisages the creation of specific AUKUS submarines using a British design, supplemented by U.S. technology and Australian logistics, up to three Virginia Class (SSN-774) submarines are intended as an initial transfer. The decision to do so, however, ultimately resides in Congress.

As delighted and willing as President Joe Biden might well be to part with such hulks, representatives in Washington are not all in accord.

Labour's self-inflicted wounds "IndyWatch Feed Politics.au"

"Justice Minister resigns after being charged over drunken car crash" was not what I expected when I heard the news this morning. And obviously it sucks for that Minister, and they clearly need help (and maybe to leave politics so they can have a normal life). But its also the latest in a long-line of completely self-inflicted wounds for Labour, which may end up being the death knell for its re-election chances.

Michael Wood, sacked for keeping his pecuniary interests hidden. Jan Tinetti, caught lying to parliament to cover her control-freakery. Stuart Nash, sacked for corruption. These were all completely voluntary and hence completely avoidable political wounds, the result of arrogance and stupidity. So is drunk-driving and refusing to accompany police to provide an evidentiary alcohol test. And the fact that this just keeps happening suggests there is something very wrong with the Labour team, and the behaviour it sees as acceptable.

Another self-inflicted wound is the refusal to promote anyone to Cabinet to cover the gaps left by the various resignations, meaning that core Ministers get overworked with additional portfolios - and important policy areas get neglected due to lack of Ministerial attention. Not that Labour is doing policy anyway - they're the government of doing nothing, and the proximity of the election means what little they do do is all reactionary bullshit made up in five minutes to neutralise a bad headline. But not having proper Ministerial oversight does not help, and is likely to lead to more unpleasant surprises in the future.

None of which bodes well for October. The equation for government under MMP is that you need around 48% after the wasted vote. For the left, that means the Greens need to bring 8% and Labour 40%. Te Pti Mori gives Labour a bit of wiggle room most years - and more than usual this year. But Labour still is not doing as well as required. If they end up on the opposition benches after October, they'll have no-one to blame but themselves.

Everyone loses in Spain "IndyWatch Feed Politics.au"

Spanish voters went to the polls yesterday in national elections. And it looks like everybody lost, with neither bloc winning a majority.

The elections had been called early after the (former fascist) People's Party and (actually fascist) Vox had swept local elections, causing the Socialist government to panic. But in the end the PP and Vox could only muster 169 seats in the 350 seat Congress. Meanwhile, the Socialists and the left-wing Sumar managed 153. And in between there's a bunch of mostly Catalan and Basque regionalist parties, who both the main blocs hate. They're never going to vote for a PP/Vox government, given the latter's desire to eliminate their languages and end their autonomy - but the Socialists have broken the promises they gave to these parties to secure power last time, and started their campaign with an explicit "fuck you" to them. The gambit here will be the usual "are you really going to let fascists into government?"; the problem is that after years of mistreatment enabled by this bullshit, some of those parties might just say "fuck you" right back, and trust in the power to roll the government whenever they want to limit its abuses, rather than clearly worthless promises. Which is a high-risk strategy, and another way for everyone to lose.

If no government can be formed, then it will be back to the polls, just as happened in 2019. Given that the socialists called the election early for fear of a bigger loss if they waited, hopefully they'll have a strong incentive to avoid that result.

NSW Labor continues Coalition's contempt of koala conservation "IndyWatch Feed Politics.au"

Despite promises to do better than the previous government in protecting the state's koalas, NSW Labor has turned its back on the endangered species. Sue Arnold reports.

WILL THE New South Wales Labor Government save the koala?

Unfortunately, the answer is highly unlikely. Evidence points to a government no different in terms of koala protection than the previous coalition.

The most obvious evidence is the absolute failure to declare a moratorium on the proposed Great Koala National Park. In a pre-election promise, Labor Leader Chris Minns declared the establishment of the park was a priority if he won government. An undertaking that gave scientists, environmental organisations and community groups hope after years of battling the Coalition State Government over industrial logging operations in native forest koala hubs.

A touch of cynicism remained as the promise would be the third one made by the Labor Party.

Minns said:

When you see a situation where koalas have gone from not threatened to vulnerable to endangered to potentially extinct by 2050, weve got to take action.

Labors proposal would protect roughly 20 per cent of the states koala population, thus ensuring the species' survival.

Undeterred by Labors promise, Forestry Corporation (FC) plans show that over the next 12 months, 30,813 hectares of a total of 175,000 hectares of state forests that fall within the boundaries of the park will be logged.

How the Palestine laboratory impacted Chile "IndyWatch Feed Politics.au"

My new book, The Palestine Laboratory, opens with a personal story about the horrific Pinochet regime in Chile in the 1970s and Israels support for it.

Im therefore happy to see my book getting traction in Chile with this story in the local media:

On the 50th anniversary of the coup dtat [in Chile in 1973], the massacre that restored the oligarchic usurpation of Chile, it is decisive to hold Israel accountable for its participation in the Pinochet dictatorship and in the prolongation of its industry during the period of democracy. What involvement did Israel have in the dictatorship? We know that the coup was forged in the United States, which had the necessary support from Brazil, but it remains to elucidate the place that Israel had in this equation.

OECD accused of pressuring Albanese Government to weaken tax evasion laws "IndyWatch Feed Politics.au"

A brawl over Australias tax collection policies has erupted between two giants of global economics, reports Alan Austin.

NOBEL PRIZE-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz has launched a stinging attack against the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The dispute centres on current Australian anti-tax avoidance legislation.

Joseph Stiglitz is a professor of economics at Columbia University in New York and co-chair of the Independent Commission for the Reform of International Corporate Taxation (ICRICT). He was chief economist of the World Bank in the late 1990s and, before that, chair of the Council of Economic Advisers serving U.S. President Bill Clinton.

He has been quoted as an authority on fiscal policy many times by this column and features prominently in lists of economists who have affirmed the effectiveness of Australias stimulus response to the global financial crisis.

This column also frequently references the OECD as the body which coordinates economic policy among its 38 wealthy, capitalist member countries. It has a long record of advocacy for poverty alleviation and against tax evasion, and is an invaluable source of global economic data. (So it is somewhat bizarre to report on a clash between two highly venerated authorities.)

At the centre of this brouhaha is Australian legislation, passed last month with the daunting title:

Inflation in focus this week "IndyWatch Feed Economics.au"

Inflation preview

By far the most anticipated data release this month will be the quarterly inflation figures for June, which are due to be released on Wednesday.

Australia's monthly inflation indicator has already eased back to 5.6 per cent over the year to May, having run as high as 8.4 per cent in December 2022.

The quarterly figures won't be as low as that, but they'll probably come in at around 6.3 per cent over the year to June, down from 7 per cent in March, and 7.8 per cent in December 2022.

So the direction of travel is pretty clear now.

Looking elsewhere around the developed world, the US inflation rate was just a nick under 3 per cent over the year to June, and in Canada the headline inflation figures had already fallen to 2.8 per cent.

Who knows, before long they may well be talking about deflation being a bigger risk!

The UK is a bit of an outlier, having experienced all kinds of bother related to trade friction (Brexit), exploding food prices (Ukraine war), energy bills (ditto), rampant immigration, and more.

But even the Brits have seen inflation drop from 11.1 per cent in October 2022 to 7.9 per cent in June, with the latest figures surprising to the downside.

Core quarterly or 'trimmed mean' inflation is set to continue its downtrend from 1.9 per cent in September 2022, to 1.7 per cent in December, 1.2 per cent in March...to around 1 per cent this quarter.

Disaster and denial "IndyWatch Feed Economics.au"

I was looking at this picture of people (mostly tourists, it appears) fleeing massive fires in Rhodes, feeling despair about the future of the world

when I was struck by an even more despairing thought.
Almost certainly, a lot of the people in the picture are climate denialists. And even more certainly, they will mostly remain so despite this experience.

Australia was one of the first countries to experience massive fires clearly attributable to global heating. In December 2019, fires burned up and down the east coast for weeks. Most of our major cities were blanketed in toxic smoke.

The conservative government of Scott Morrison, which had scored a surprise election win earlier in the year, made of botch of dealing with the fires (Morrison himself secretly jetted off to Hawaii for a holiday) and played down any role of climate, ably supported by the Murdoch press. Despite this, the denialist National Party retained its seats in most of the worst-affected parts of the country at the next election.

Labor, which had gone to the 2019 election with a reasonably good climate policy, dumped it in favor of marginal tweaks to the governments non-policy. Since winning office in 2022, the Labor government has approved massive new coal mines and gas fields.

And theres nothing uniquely Australian about this. UK Labour is apparently considering winding back its climate policies on the basis of a mildly disappointing by-election result, and the denialist faction of the Conservative party is gaining strength.

Perhaps there is hope to be had somewhere, but Im not feeling it right now.

A thought on the tardiness of a former prime minister....... "IndyWatch Feed Politics.au"

Liberal Opposition backbench MP for Cook & former prime minister Scott Morrison does not appear to have returned to Australia as yet.

Having departed this country around 16-18 June 2023 and, studiously remained overseas for the tabling and publication of the damning Report of the Royal Commission into the Robodebt Scheme, he is running out of reasons to continue to avoid his own and the national electorate in his 5th week of a holiday jaunt.

Both houses of parliament resume sitting on Monday 31 July so perhaps he will have found some courage tucked away along with a souvenir from the Acropolis in a pocket of his suitcase and will be back in Canberra by then.

A reminder of how unfondly he has been regarded for many years now.....

From your rsum and cover letter to the interview and thank you note, there are a lot of opportunities to mess up on the road to your dream job. Here, weve gathered essential advice for what to say every step of the way.

When youre looking for a new job theres a lot to figure out: What information should you include on your rsum (and what do you need to trim)? Is a cover letter really necessary? What are the best answers to the most common interview questions? How should you prepare for quirky interview questions? And do you really need to send a thank you note?At Fast Company, weve been covering every aspect of the job hunt process for years, and one writer is behind many of our most popular job hunt advice: Judith Humphrey. Shes the author of the new book The Job Seekers Script, which pulls from five years of Fast Company articles.The first step, Humphrey says, is to focus your search, so that any job you apply for is exactly what you want. You dont want to waste your timeand everyone elsesby applying randomly for 400 or 200 jobs. This leads to considerable frustration and a lot of ghosting. She suggests that job seekers should ask themselves these six questions to make their job hunt more productive:1. Am I prepared to invest time?2. What are my skills and interests?3. Do I want a new direction?4. What kind of culture do I want to work in?5. What size company do I want?6. Will I be able to succeed there?

Strange, insatiable wants within you now abide,

And your reckless ambitions you no longer hide,

So we have to bid each other goodbye.

This sudden parting of our separate ways,

Twas best this craft no more did stay,

No safe harbour here with such disarray),

And with one swift blow of a sharpened axe,

Cut that arrogant crowd adrift,

And with a stout, long pushing pole,

US Republicans threaten to block AUKUS deal "IndyWatch Feed Enviro.au"

By Anthony Galloway, The Age, July 21, 2023

Australias AUKUS submarine deal with the United States has hit a hurdle with Senate Republicans threatening to block the sale unless President Joe Biden boosts funding for the domestic production line.

Republican members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Friday moved to block legislation which would enable the sale of US Virginia-class submarines to Australia.

Under the AUKUS deal, Washington was set to sell Canberra between three and five of its own nuclear submarines in the 2030s before Australia begins building a new class of boat with Britain.

But the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, senator Roger Wicker, said Biden needed to commit more money to guarantee we have enough submarines for our own security before we endorse that pillar of the agreement.

Wicker said Australias commitment of US$3 billion ($4.4 billion) for the US production line would not be enough to meet the needs of both countries.

UK campaigners call on Australian PM to withdraw Kimba nuke dump threat "IndyWatch Feed Enviro.au"

UK campaign groups opposed to nuclear waste dumps were delighted to hear that their counterparts in Australia, the Barngarla Determination Aboriginal Corporation, have just won their court case against the imposition of a similar dump on their Traditional Lands.

In a historic judgement given earlier this week (18 July), Her Honour Justice Charlesworth in the Federal Court of Australia handed down a decision to quash Federal Government plans to move nuclear waste from the reactor at Lucas Heights to an unwanted waste dump at Napandee near Kimba in South Australia. Justice Charlesworth charged government officials with pre-judgement and apprehended bias.

In March, the UK/Ireland Nuclear Free Local Authorities joined Radiation Free Lakeland, Millom against the Nuclear Dump / South Copeland against GDF, and Guardians of the East Coast, which are local groups fighting plans to locate a so-called Geological Disposal Facility in either West Cumbria or East Lincolnshire, wrote a joint letter to the Australian Government to raise their international objections to the plan.

Our objections were that there was no need for such a dump as the facility at Lucas Heights has capacity to take the waste and that the rights to the land by the Traditional Owners were being wilfully and shamefully disregarded, contrary to international law, with the government giving no proper consideration to the position of the Barngarla.

The attempt to impose a nuclear waste dump is all par for the course in Australia with the ill-treatment of Indigenous Peoples by corporations, political elites and the military over nuclear matters having an established history, with First Nation territories ravaged by uranium mining or shattered by British atomic weapon testing.

Following the damning judgement, the four British organisations have today written to the Prime Minister of Australia Anthony Albanese asking him to take the honourable and courageous course of action, withdraw the plan and leave the Barngarla in peace.

A copy of the letter and a message of solidarity will be sent to the Barngarla Determination Aboriginal Corporation. more https://www.nuclearpolicy.info/news/uk-campaigners-call-on-australian-pm-to-withdraw-kimba-nuke-dump-threat/

Luck Is Not a Strategy for the Ukraine, The Germans Take the Evidence-based Path. "IndyWatch Feed Enviro.au"

We Chat with Nuclear Expert Dr. Paul Dorfman

Hot Globe, STEVE CHAPPLE, JUL 20, 2023

. HOT GLOBE: Its always bothered me that Saudi Arabia because of the Trump administration has now got access to the beginnings of nuclear power, and to a future nuclear bomb. The idea of selling small nuclear reactors around the world raises a pretty problematic point.

DORFMAN: Thats absolutely true. Saudi has made no bones about its nuclear ambitions and I mean its military nuclear ambitions. Saudi diplomats have said quite clearly that theyre looking towards Iran and that theyre seriously thinking about both civil and military nuclear. So theres a potential for an arms race, a military nuclear arms race in the Middle East region. Its actually even more bad news for the Middle East because in a proxy war if say, for example, Russian and America wanted to have a bit of a go and they didnt want to absolutely destroy each others country where would they be fighting their proxy nuclear war? The first region that comes to mind is the Middle East and Saudi and Iran.

The economies of small nuclear reactors depend absolutely on production to scale. Its been proven time and time again that in order to make any money at all, to break even on small nuclear production, you need to sell them abroad. Now, selling them abroad to whom, for what reasons? Youd be selling them to developing nations who may or may not have the capacity to regulate, to protect, to defend in depth, and so therefore you would be significantly expanding the potential for military nuclear risk whether that means a dirty bomb or further nuclear development.

HOT GLOBE: A slightly different question here, but Germany had ongoing nuclear plants and even though they were still producing electricity, theyve shut those down. That may be a little puzzling to some Americans. Can you explain that?

DORFMAN: First of all, what Germany does is evidence-based policy. Germany puts out its scientific, technological questions, its energy questions, to well-funded high level research units.

Spain hits Apple and Amazon with $218 million combined antitrust fine "IndyWatch Feed National"

Apple's consolidation of its third party iPhone, Mac, and iPad resellers to Amazon has induced Spain's antitrust agency to levy a $218 million fine in total on the pair.

Spain's Comision Nacional De Los Mercados Y La Competencia (CNMC) announced in July 2021 that it was investigating if Apple and Amazon have unfairly colluded to "reduce competition in the Internet retail market for electronic products."

Specifically, the group was looking for proof of any deals that the pair made limiting sale of Apple products to Amazon itself. Two years later, it appears to have found the proof it was looking for, and has fined the pair 194.1 million euros in total.

"We reject the suggestion made by CNMC that Amazon benefits from excluding sellers from its market place, as our business model hinges precisely on the success of the companies selling through Amazon," Amazon said in a statement to Reuters on Tuesday morning.

Both Apple and Amazon have stated that the deal benefits consumers, protects buyers from fake products, and increases the number and magnitude of discounts offered to customers.

Of the 194.1 million euro fine, Apple was hit with 143.6 million, and Amazon 50.5 million euro. Both companies have already said that they will appeal the matter, and they have two months to do so.

Apple selling directly in Amazon began at the same time almost worldwide. The deal, which applied to the United States, United...

As noted in my 19 July 2023 article, an international one-day conference was held in London on July 16, 2023. It was advertised as an SRA conference: Satanic Ritual Abuse, under the auspices of Jeanette Archer of the UK. (The speaker from Australia was Rachel Vaughan. She did not speak directly on the topic of satanism, using her 25 minutes instead to report her research into the deaths of abducted children.) The full 7-hour video of the conference is available.

Congressional Concerns: Stalling Nuclear Submarines for Australia "IndyWatch Feed National"

The main dish here comprises the nuclear-powered submarines that are meant to make their way to Australian shores, both in terms of purchase and construction. It marks what the US, UK and Australia describe as the first pillar of the agreement. Ostensibly, they are intended for the island continents self-defence, declared as wholesomely and even desperately necessary in these dangerous times. Factually, they are intended as expensive toys for willing vassals, possibly operated by Australian personnel, at the beckon call of US naval and military forces, monitoring Chinese forces and any mischief they might cause.

While the agreement envisages the creation of specific AUKUS submarines using a British design, supplemented by US technology and Australian logistics, up to three Virginia Class (SSN-774) submarines are intended as an initial transfer. The decision to do so, however, ultimately resides in Congress. As delighted and willing as President Joe Biden might well be to part with such hulks, representatives in Washington are not all in accord.

Signs that not all lawmakers were keen on the arrangement were already being expressed in December 2022. In a letter to Biden authored by Democratic Senator Jack Reed and outgoing Republican Senator James Inhofe, concerns were expressed about the state of the US submarine industrial base as well as its ability to support the desired AUKUS SSN [nuclear sub] end state. Current conditions, the senators went on to describe, required a sober assessment of the facts to avoid stressing the US submarine industrial base to the breaking point.

On May 22, a Congressional Research Service report outlined some of the issues facing US politicians regarding the procurement of the Virginia (SSN-774) submarine for the Australian Navy. Should, for instance, Congress approve, reject, or modify DODs AUKUS-related legislative package for the FY2024 NDAA [National Defense Authorization Act] sent to Congress on May 2, 2023? Would the transfer of three to five such boats while pursuing the construction of three to five replacement SSNs for the US Navy have a net impact on collective allied deterrence? And should Beijing even worry, given some unequivocal remarks from Australian officials that they would not automatically use the US-supplied boats against them in a conflict involving Washington.

'COVID visa stream' has overstayed its welcome "IndyWatch Feed Politics.au"

Allowing people to remain in Australia on a 'COVID' visa is creating a policy mess for the Government, writes Dr Abul Rizvi.

THE 'COVID STREAM' of sub-class 408 visas was established by the Coalition Government and should have been closed to new applications soon after international borders re-opened. Failure to close the visa by both the Coalition and Labor governments has created a policy mess affecting over 100,000 people that will be difficult to clean up.

This visa stream has existed in various forms since early 2020. It was designed to enable temporary entrants in Australia whose visas were due to soon expire, or had recently expired, to remain and work lawfully in Australia while international borders were closed.

It has been available on a fee-free basis to a range of temporary visa holders including students, temporary graduates, working holidaymakers and seasonal workers from the Pacific Islands. While this visa stream initially targeted people working in key industries (such as health and aged care), in March 2022 and after international borders had re-opened, the Coalition Government broadened the visa to cover temporary entrants working in, or holding a job offer, in any industry.

This would have been most likely due to the extensive labour shortages at the time. This visa stream provides unlimited work rights which makes it highly attractive.

The new Labor Government elected in May 2022 would have received a briefing on this visa stream and how it could be managed in its incoming government brief. The range of immigration issues on the new Governments plate at the time, and the ongoing complaints about labour shortages, is likely to have led the Government to put the issue of this visa stream on the back burner.

But it was surprising the Albanese Government didnt close off this visa stream to new applications in early 2023 and ahead of the re-imposition of limits on student work rights from 1 July 2023. That decision has led to an extraordinary surge in the number of people now on this visa...

What Path are you Walking in Life? "IndyWatch Feed National"

In life, we often find ourselves at crossroads, faced with choices that shape our path. The ultimate question of which path to take, left or right, dark or light, is a deeply personal one. It is a question that speaks to our values, aspirations, and desires.

While there is no definitive answer, exploring this question can lead to self-discovery and personal growth.

One way to approach this question is through the concept of path analysis. Path analysis is a statistical technique used to evaluate causal relationships between variables.

It allows us to understand the direct effects of certain variables on others, helping us to uncover the factors that influence our choices and the outcomes they lead to.

In path analysis, models are often depicted from left to right, with independent variables on the left and the outcome variable on the right.

This visualization helps us understand the causal relations between different factors and how they contribute to the path we are walking in life.

It's important to note that the paths we choose in life are not always clear-cut. They can be influenced by a multitude of factors, including our upbringing, experiences, and personal beliefs. Sometimes, the path may seem dark and uncertain, while other times it may be filled with light and clarity.

Ultimately, the path we choose is a reflection of who we are and what we value.

There is no predetermined number of paths in life. Each individual's journey is unique, shaped by their own choices and circumstances. The paths we take can branch out in various directions, leading to different experiences and outcomes.

It is up to us to navigate these paths and make choices that align with our values and aspirations.

G20 Labour, Employment Ministers Asked to Embrace International Solidarity

By GNA

July 22, 2023

Mr. Gilbert F. Houngbo, Director-General, International Labour Organization (ILO), has called on G20 Labour and Employment Ministers to tackle skills gaps, invest in social protection systems, and embrace sustainable financing mechanisms for employment and social protection policies.

He also called for the closing of the growing fractures in the global labour market and reducing inequalities.

Mr. Houngbo made the call at the G20 Labour and Employment Ministers meeting, which highlighted the need to sustainably finance social protection, to extend social security to more workers, including in the gig and platform economies, and to address the global skills gap.

The Ministers meeting, which was hosted by India and took place in Indore also, focused on three main topics: addressing the global skills gaps, extending social protection to platform and gig workers, and sustainably financing national social protection systems, according to a document made available to the Ghana News Agency.

At present, the global employment divide is deepening in the face of global shocks and risks, with low-income countries being left further and further behind, Mr. Houngbo stated.

To tackle this situation and to promote social justice, more global resources must be mobilized.

Initiatives such as the UN Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection for Just Transitions play a pivotal role in generating the necessary technical and financial support.

Such endeavours need to be part of a broader reform of the international financial architecture to make more resources available for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the ILO Director-General said.

Mr. Houngbo spoke about the Antalya Youth target of reducing the share of 15 per cent of the young people who are most at risk of being permanently left behind in the labour market by 2025.

He said to tackle gender inequality in particular, action must focus on promoting m...

With Another Indictment Looming, Trump Makes Himself Feel Better on Truth Social "IndyWatch Feed National"

Whats a guy to do when he is about to be indicted for a third (and possibly fourth time) for various coup-related crimes and is feeling kinda blue about it? Apparently, if that guy is a former president with severe narcissistic personality disorder, his own social media network, and a cult-like following, the answer is sharing memes that portray him as a messianic figure.

The eyes may be the window to the soul, but Truth Social is the window to what is going on in Donald Trumps head at any given point in time.

Right now, that window tells us that he is feeling mopey and is in serious need of validation. Therefore, if being re-Truthed by a twice-impeached president has been a dream of yours, then today might be a golden opportunity to cross that item off your bucket list.

Here is how: Head on over to Truth Social, create an account, and then either compare Trump to God or put down one of his opponents. Oh, and apparently it helps to pretend to be a member of QAnon.

Lets take a closer look at what will do the trick:

It is probably fair to say, and Two Corinthians would agree, that the former president is not a scholar of the Good Book. However, he loves it when people pray for/over him, and he has a basic understanding of the main plot. Therefore, if you want to be re-Truthed, do not make the mistake of comparing him to one of the minor biblical characters. Stick to the highlights.

A girl looks on while holding a water container as members of the Syrian Kurdish Asayish security forces inspect tents at the Kurdish-run Al-Hol camp (AFP)

A United Nations expert said hundreds of boys are being "snatched" from their mothers in camps controlled by the Kurdish-run Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the northeast of the country, warning the practice was causing irreparable harm and violated international law.

Fionnuala Ni Aolain, UN special rapporteur for the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism, is the first UN expert to gain access to the Al-Hol and Al-Roj camps.

Speaking after a six-day trip to northeast Syria, Aolain said the "cradle to the grave detention" of children broke international law and was taking place without any "legal procedure".

Your Precoiner Friends Might Not Understand The Problems That Bitcoin Is Solving "IndyWatch Feed National"

This is an opinion editorial by Mickey Koss, a West Point graduate with a degree in economics. He spent four years in the infantry before transitioning to the Finance Corps.

It may seem counterintuitive, but in my last four years serving for the U.S. Army, Ive essentially been a customer service specialist, whether its addressing pay issues in the military pay office as a commander, or addressing travel or budget questions as a comptroller in an operational unit.

Of late, Ive found myself asking more questions of the customers than theyve been asking of me. Ive come to realize that many people dont really understand the problems they are experiencing. And, because of this conundrum, the questions they ask me when seeking assistance may not yield an answer that actually solves those problems. Ive come to realize that a large part of my job has become uncovering the actual problems, so that I can fix them at their roots.

Therein lies a common thread Ive found with orange pilling and teaching people about Bitcoin. Much like the soldier who approaches me, asking a question that doesnt quite make sense, your friends and family may be asking you strange questions as well without a real understanding of what problems Bitcoin is trying to solve.

As stewards of the Bitcoin space and de facto ambassadors to our circles of acquaintance, I see the Bitcoiners role as similar to that of a customer service professional. People dont understand the monetary system, let alone the problems they face within. (Insert the potentially-overused analogy about asking a fish about water here.)

Instead of answering questions blindly and taking them at face value, I challenge you to dig a little deeper next time. Help your curious friend understand what they are asking. Help them uncover the issues they didnt know they cared about. Help them ask the right questions. Otherwise, they may never get their problems solved.

Prime Minister Albanese must abandon South Australian nuclear waste dump. "IndyWatch Feed Enviro.au"

Friends of the Earth Australia 18 July 2023

The Federal Court has today quashed the declaration of a proposed nuclear waste dump site near Kimba in SA, citing pre-judgement and apprehended bias. The court case was initiated by Barngarla Traditional Owners, who are unanimous in their opposition to the proposed nuclear dump.

Dr. Jim Green, national nuclear campaigner with Friends of the Earth Australia, said:

Todays decision is an incredible victory for Barngarla Traditional Owners. Now Prime Minister Albanese must kill the nuclear dump plan stone dead.

It is an outrage that the Albanese government has been attempting to impose a national nuclear waste dump on Barngarla country despite the unanimous opposition of the Traditional Owners.

It is deeply hypocritical that the Albanese government has been championing a Voice to Parliament at the same time as it ignores and overrides the unanimous voice of the Barngarla Traditional Owners.

Oppie biopic should rekindle Japanese A bombing debate "IndyWatch Feed Enviro.au"

Walt Zlotow, West Suburban Peace CoalitionGlen , Ellyn IL 21 Jul 23

The movie Oppenheimer, based on American Prometheus the Pulitzer Prize winning bio of J. Robert Oppenheimer, hits theaters today. Neatly bookended on the calendar between the July 16, 1945 A bomb test and the Hiroshima/Nagasaki strikes 3 weeks later, Oppenheimer is sure to be an atomic like blockbuster.

Besides widely informing America of the epic life of possibly its most consequential American in history, it should also spur debate on the necessity for killing over a hundred thousand Japanese civilians in those 2 monstrous attacks.

The mainstream American narrative still portrays the bombings as necessary and just to end the Japanese war without an invasion projected to inflict a million US casualties.

I learned of the atomic bombings 72 years ago at age 6. For the first decade afterward, I swallowed whole the US fairytale that the military and political elite were unified in dropping the bombs to prevent that costly invasion.

point to a number of top military leaders who opposed the nuclear attacks, for good reasons. Most prominent was U.S. Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall who argued not using the Bomb would strengthen Americas prestige and position in post war Asia.

He even advocated for inviting the Russians to view its July 16, 1945 test. Navy Secretary and later Defense Secretary James Forrestal rightly argued the bombings would impede our post WWII relations with the Soviet Union. Fleet Admiral William Leahy, senior US military officer on active duty in WWII, called the proposed bombings barbaric.

Assistant Secretary of War John McCloy told Truman that neither invasion nor atomic bombings were necessary. Japan would surrender if we avoided Unconditional Surrender terminology since any surrender would amount to that without saying so. McCloy even advocated telling Japanese leaders we had the Bomb as additional incentive to quit the war.

Tho not involved in the atomic bombing decision process, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower was furious we dropped them. He recounted telling Secretary of War Harry Stimson shortly after the attacks I voiced my grave misgivings, first on my belief that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary, and secondly, because I thought that our country should avoid shocking world opinion by the use of a weapon whose employment was, I thought, no longer mandatory as a measu...

Nuclear Power Is Already a Climate Casualty "IndyWatch Feed Enviro.au"

French Rivers Heat Up, Luck Is Not a Strategy for the Ukraine, We Chat with Nuclear Expert Dr. Paul Dorfman

Hot Globe Substack, STEVE CHAPPLE, JUL 20, 2023

HOT GLOBE:

Paul, thanks for joining us. Lets talk about nuclear and climate change.

PAUL DORFMAN:

Thanks, Steve. Its important to understand that nuclear is very likely to be a significant climate casualty.

For cooling purposes nuclear reactors need to be situated by large bodies of water, which means either by the coast or inland by rivers or large water courses. Sea levels are rising much quicker than we had thought and inland the rivers are heating up, potentially drying up, and also subject to significant flooding and flash-flooding and inundation. The key issue for coastal nuclear is storm surge, which is basically where atmospheric conditions meet high tide, which is essentially what happens in Fukushima.

HOT GLOBE: The decommissioned nuclear plant in southern California at San Onofre is a case in point with the cans of nuclear waste still stored in a concrete containment box lapped by the rising tide

DORFMAN: In France where I am right now [the government utility] just today put out once again warnings about their reactors having to power down because of low river flow, heated river flow. Now thats not simply for reactor cooling. Its about the water that the reactors are cooled by, which then need to be discharged back into the rivers. This super-heated water would basically kill the ecology. The reactors have to power down so as not to discharge heated waters back.

Nuclear has been touted as a potential ameliorated solution to climate. The problem, of course, is that nuclear will be, and relatively soon, a climate casualty, so coastal nuclear, unfortunately, is likely to flood via storm surge and inland nuclear will struggle more and more to get reactor cooling water and be able to discharge super-heated water to the receiving river waters.

The notion that nuclear will will help us with climate is fortunately unfortunatelysimply not the case....

Spirit of Tasmania Comes to Geelong "IndyWatch Feed Alllocal"

Geelong: A New Home for the Spirit of Tasmania

In 2022 Port Melbourne bid farewell to the iconic ship that was a familiar site at the end of the Port Melbourne Pier. Setting up new at brand new facilities at Geelong Quay in North Geelong, the local community of Geelong were excited to see the day finally arrive when the Spirit of Tasmania called this once sleepy town its new Victorian home.

The picturesque coastal city of Geelong has recently become the proud new home of the Spirit of Tasmania, marking a significant milestone in the maritime history of this vibrant region. With its deep-rooted maritime heritage, Geelong proves to be the perfect harbour for this iconic vessel, known for bridging the gap between the Australian mainland and the enchanting island state of Tasmania. As the Spirit of Tasmania finds its haven in Geelongs waters, a new chapter unfolds, promising boundless opportunities for travellers and locals alike.

Why Geelong locals are so excited

Embracing Geelongs Maritime Heritage:

Steeped in maritime traditions, Geelong has always had a close affinity with the sea. Its strategic location on Corio Bay made it a bustling port and a hub for trade and travel. With the Spirit of Tasmania now calling Geelong home, this connection is revitalised, rekindling the citys love affair with the ocean. Geelong&#821...

QMF second artist announcement "IndyWatch Feed Alllocal"

Queenscliff Music Festival 2023 revealed its second artist announcement yesterday, adding another 10 artists to the bill, including Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls (UK), Katy Steele (Little Birdie), the Merindas and bluesman Frank Sultana.

Also named in the latest reveal was Melbourne Americana band Georgia State Line, who were nominated for an ARIA last year and won Music Victoria Awards Best Country Work for 2022.

Georgia Delves, the bands singer, acoustic guitarist and principal songwriter, said she and the band were so excited to be joining QMF 2023.

I think Queenscliff is up there as one of the festivals weve been hanging out to play, she said.

Queenscliff and Port Fairy (Folk Festival) are kind of the big names in the industry in terms of folk festivals, theyre the ones you really strive to get, so were definitely ticking a little bucket list number off.

Georgia State Line have been recognised in recent years as a genuine talent in the Australian country and Americana scene, with Delves herself receiving comparisons with American legend Lucinda Williams.

Delves said playing bigger shows was still not the norm for Georgia State Line, but she was really looking forward to having the opportunity again at QMF in November.

Those moments when you play to a massive audience, its amazing, but still kind of a rarity for us, she said.

We did Port Fairy in March and one of our shows was to a very full tent, it was just a really nice moment.

Were still mostly playing small to medium audiences, and we like that. But its those moments where you feel like youre in the zone and youre doing what youre meant to be doing, its just nice.

Im just committed to a life of creating and writing music. Ive tried many other jobs and nothing brings me as much joy as stepping on stage with my band and playing songs. Its such a fulfilling creative journey.

WA redistribution follow-up analysis "IndyWatch Feed Politics.au"

I wrote a quick blog post yesterday after the release of the draft electoral map for the next Western Australian state election. Now Im back with a more detailed analysis of what has changed. Ive included a map comparing the old and new boundaries, as well as my estimates of the primary vote for the larger parties.

I made a few minor tweaks to my redistribution code overnight. This caused some small changes to the margins, but Ive updated the table in yesterdays post.

By my estimate, 86.9% of voters remain in the same seat that they were in prior to the redistribution.

No changes were made to Bateman, Bunbury, Kingsley, Rockingham, South Perth and Southern River. While there was rather a lot of new area added to Kimberley, I estimate the new population makes up just 0.4% of the total.

The new seat of Mid West is primarily a successor to Moore. 76.5% of the enrolment in the new seat comes from Moore, with just 23.5% coming from North West Central. I think its fair to say that North West Central was abolished.

There are some dramatic changes in the outer suburbs of Perth which become obvious when you look at a list of what proportion of each new seats electors have come from another seat.

The renamed seat of Padbury is a successor to Carine, but only 51.7% of electors came from Carine. The neighbouring seat of Hillarys was also severely redrawn, only containing 53.2% of its prior population. This is easy to see on the map: Carine and Hillarys were previously seats that were roughly square-shaped, with Hillarys sitting to the north of Carine on the north coast of Perth, but they have been redrawn into two thin rectangles covering the same area. Judging by the comments on yesterdays post, I suspect that change will be subject to challenges.

At the other end of the metropolitan region, the southern seat of Kwinana shifted south, and only 54.8% of its new enrolment was already in the seat.

The equivalent metric was just 69.6% in Jandakot, 71.7% in Bibra Lake (replacing Willagee) and 72.7% in Baldivis. All other seats had 75% or more.

Now I wanted to turn my focus to the political impact. Yesterday I pointed out that the newly created seat of Oakford is a Labor seat with a 28% margin, while the Nationals seat of North West Central was abolished. The super-marginal Labor seat of Churchlands flipped from Labor to Liberal, so the net number of Labor seats is steady at 53, while the Liberals have gained one seat net from the Nationals, so they each hold three.

But this is not particularly interesting, since the last election was so unusual. Its more interesting to consider what would happen if there was a swing back towards a more competitive outcome.

Of course, a swing would not be uniform, but its the best we have.

Housing development in Bright facing strong community opposition "IndyWatch Feed Alllocal"

Many regional areas are in danger of being developed to death as people move from major cities, seeking a Tree or Sea Change. From coastal areas like the Bellarine Peninsula to the Otways, to valley towns in north eastern Victoria, people are flocking to regional centres close to attractive places. The covid lockdowns allowed many people to transition to online work, which has further driven the trend towards relocating in regional areas. This is, of course, causing many problems as farmland and remnant vegetation is swallowed up (usually) by low density sprawl, with growing demands for water supplies and waste treatment, and growing demands on local community services like healthcare and schools.

This is playing out in many areas, including Bright in north eastern Victoria.

There is a subdivision and development plan that is currently being considered by the Alpine Council which has been submitted by a Melbourne development company (Deague Group) called the Great Alpine Road Development. The development will fill in a large open area on the right entry point to the town when driving from Myrtleford. Initially concerns focused on the fact that some of the significant gateway trees at the entry to town would need to be cut down. But there are also deeper concerns about whether it would represent overdevelopment of the town. Many residents of Bright say this development, if allowed to proceed, will change the character of the township and the iconic entrance gateway forever.

In a statement by local residents, Leanne Boyd speaking for the group says:

Residents of Bright feel let down by the Council not putting in place the appropriate planning controls and checks and balances including social and physical infrastructure that would support the community.

Instead, there are more loose ends that have not been properly considered which will result in substantial costs being borne by the local community.

This is unfair and unreasonable.

The development plan lacks the level of detail to give confidence in both the developer and what will be built and how the community will be better served as a result of this development proposal being approved.

As residents, we dont know how Council got into this mess.

Top spot up for grabs "IndyWatch Feed Alllocal"

Its a rollercoaster in Tennis Geelongs Section 1 Girls at the end of round 10 with top spot changing three times in the last four weeks and only 17 points separating all the teams.

The six teams have now played each other twice, so with the remaining five matches, all the girls will be pushing for every game, to ensure they arent the unlucky ones to miss finals.

Geelong Lawn backed up its 4-2 round 5 win over Barwon Heads, reclaiming top spot in the process this week rolling the Heads 6-0.

While the points and games were hard fought, Lawn proved too strong, with a broken string not hindering Alex Tidlacka in her 6-3 singles win.

The Heads dropped from first to fourth with the loss, highlighting how close the battle for finals positions is.

Beachside and Surfcoast Torquay tied on sets with Torquay ahead by three games in their last meeting, but the home court advantage this week helped Beachside avenge the loss in empathic fashion, also taking a 6-0 win.

Torquay struggled in the singles, but Adele McNamara and Elyssa Mutton were pushed in the first doubles winning through 6-4 for Beachside, while Jasmine Phillips and Pearl Thompson had to fight hard for the second doubles, eventually winning 7-5, pushing the team from fourth to second.

Highton and Wandana Heights have had two of the closest results in both their matches, both level on sets and the result going to Wandana by one game in round 5, and Highton by seven games this week.

Wandana started well with Neena Cumming and Putu Coco Warita winning the first two singles, before Jemima Stansfield won the third for Highton and Wandana was unable to field a player for the fourth singles.

Cumming and Warita then teamed up to take the one doubles set 6-4.

Highton finished the morning with a win and is now only 10 points out of the four.

This week will see Geelong Lawn host Highton, Barwon Heads hosts Surfcoast Torquay and Wandana Heights faces Beachside, with every outcome likely to affect ladder positions.

Good form running into the finals couldnt be more important for all teams to give themselves the best chance of making the grand final on September 2.

Onion recipes to spare you the tears "IndyWatch Feed Politics.au"

For those of you who can't stand crying over chopped onions, here's some news to help wipe the tears away. Along with a couple of onion recipes by Megan Jane de Paulo guaranteed to create a dish that will make crying the last thing on your mind.

YOU CANT MAKE an omelette without breaking eggs, you cant cut onions without a decent cry... or so was thought.

An onion producer in South Australia, Dolling Produce, claims it has been cross-breeding onion varieties over the last 30 years to produce the Happy Chop a variety of brown onion that doesnt reduce the chopper to tears.

Its not a new concept similar varieties were launched in Japan in 2016, the U.S. after that and last year in the UK. They have not appeared to have taken the culinary world by storm.

Why do these delicious piquant orbs lash out at us so viciously?

Onions produce the chemical irritant known as syn-Propanethial-S-oxide, which is released when they are cut, causing the nerves around the eyes (lacrimal glands) to become irritated. Within each onion cell, there's a little glob filled with enzymes. When you bite or cut into an onion, these enzyme-filled blobs break open, releasing their contents which then mix with other chemicals to form syn-Propanethial-S-oxide.

Presumably, the Happy Chop has been bred to reduce this effect, but of course, this begs the question of how it affects the taste.

Tony Abbott will be gleefully chomping down on these unpeeled and raw. They have the look and crisp texture of onion but without that immediately evocative scent of the beginnings of a delightful bolognese or the promise of a lush beef bourguignon. They also taste much sweeter than that of your usual brown onion.

Once you peel away the layers...

A new photography exhibition showcases the natural beauty of Queenscliffs landscapes and inhabitants.

Queenscliff Neighbourhood Houses (QNH) Through Our Eyes gallery exhibition features works from five amateur photographers that opened on July 15 and will run to August 20 from 10am to 4pm.

Gallery committee member Jocelyn Adam said she was glad to be able to offer a very unique opportunity for the photographers to showcase their work.

Its a real thrill to watch them all come together, she said.

We like to support emerging artists and artists that havent exhibited before.

One of the five featured photographers, Dennis Parrish, said his inspiration came from his travels and that it felt a bit strange to have his photos included in the exhibition.

I like how you can play around with different angles and techniques of photographing to create an interesting image that evokes a thought or feeling, he said.

To actually see them up on the wall with people looking at them is a bit surreal, but its exciting and quite thrilling.

Mardi Simons said she liked to focus on how light, design, pattern, and colour could occur in a photo and that being included in the exhibition was exciting and rewarding.

I dont take photos with the view of exhibiting them, she said.

I take them because something there has caught my eye and because its satisfying to me.

Fran Faulkner said she used her phone to produce photos and that the exhibition came together really well.

Its nice to have people looking at them and appreciating the things weve appreciated, she said.

The exhibition will also include works by Ocean Grove photographers Grant Allen and Carole Poustie.

The Green Fraud: How Climate Alarmists Are Scamming You (Part Two) "IndyWatch Feed Economics.au"

This is being enabled by a senile Joe Biden and thousands of bureaucrats buried in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of Energy (DOE), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and scores of other agencies.

The US Treasury, SEC, and the Federal Reserve have even joined in by regulating loans to the oil and gas industry, as well as requiring financial disclosures about climate change and other ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) metrics.

The World Bank (controlled by the US) is being encouraged to deny loans to industries that involve carbon-based development and to steer financing toward projects approved by the climate mavens. This is called the all of government approach, in which every agency gets involved in pushing the climate agenda, even if its not the primary job of that agency. The pressure never stops.

In short, the climate change debate could not be more relevant to investors. Those calling the shots in the Green New Deal (what I call the Green New Scam) will decide which industries win or lose, which projects get financed (or not), which initiatives are subsidised by the government or left to wither on the vine, and which companies will feel the regulatory heat if they dont get with Bidens programs. Climate change is not a sideshow. Nothing is more relevant to markets, investors, and asset allocators today.

A Cobra Has Eaten Your Super "IndyWatch Feed Allstate"

Is the Australian superannuation system designed to fund your retirement or fund managers lifestyles?

Its a trick question, of course. The correct answer is that it doesnt matter what a government policy is designed to do. It always does the opposite anyway a phenomenon that economists call the Cobra Effect.

As the story goes, the British Government in Delhi decided to get rid of cobras by offering a bounty for cobra skins. The result was a vast increase in the cobra breeding industry

Even the British Government eventually figured out what was going on and closed the subsidy program. And so, the cobra breeders, no doubt caught up in a frenzy of animal rights environmentalism, freed their stock back into its natural habitat, causing a flood of cobras on the streets of Delhi.

Thus, the government programs intention to reduce the number of cobras resulted in a cobra plague. And so itll be for the superannuation industry too, Ive always said.

Now, Id just like to mention that the sound of a hissing cobra once caused me to be so petrified that I couldnt even manage to wet my pants.

That is probably how the superannuation industry is feeling right now too. You see, the super industry forgot that the Baby Boomer generation would eventually like its money backbut somebody at the regulator just reminded them.

Super funds slammed over failure to plan for Boomer retirement wave, reports The Australian Financial Review. This is despite the law requiring them to help members plan for their super withdrawals to fund retirement.

Yes, according to the regulators tasked with making sure the super industry follows the rules, the super industry is not following the rules.

You and I might think this requires the regulators to experience some form of accountability for not doing their job. But thats just not how the Cobra Effect works. Its always the man on the street who gets bitten on the bum by the consequences of government policies.

Now Im sure it comes as a complete shock to people in the finance industry that people might want their money back at some point.

Then again, fund managers from Bernie Madoff to the UKs superstar stock-picker Neil Woodford have always struggled with the concept. Not to mention banks, like those which failed in the US this year when depositors wanted their money back.

So, Australias superannuation industry probably thought their gravy train of compulsory savings they kept safely out of our reach would go on forever.

But, yes, people will eventually withdraw money from a retirement savings systemif they can.

The trouble is that, when it comes to super, this implies selling the assets in the fundand that means fewer assets under management for the fundiesand that means fewer fees for fundies

Uh oh

But it gets worse. The premise of the super system is that its many savers an...

The Wedgetail was flying as "Wedgetail 04" and looked to fly up from RAAF Williamtown to complete the airwork which included several missed approaches. It then returned to Williamtown.

Meanwhile, also on Tuesday 11 July, Australian Army Boeing CH-47F 'Foxtrot' Chinook helicopter A15-301 was noted back at Rockhampton Airpor this time as "Chainsaw 31". It is thought that it arrived from and then departed back to the Royal Australian Nay (RAN) ship HMAS Adelaide - or possibly is even deployed into the Shoalwater Bay Training Area (SWBTA) ahead to joint Military Exercise Talisman Sabre (TS23) which gets underway in the coming days.

Finally, also on Tuesday 11 July, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Alenia C-27J Spartan transport aircraft A34-005 "Wallaby 46" looked to complete some late airwork at Miles Airport while on a flight out of and back to RAAF Base Amberley.

Fair Food Champion: Anna Jane Linke "IndyWatch Feed Alllocal"

Tell us a bit about yourself what is your background and how are you involved in the local food system?

It all started with flower growing a few years ago. I live in an off-grid tiny home and fortunately have
the space to experiment with different varieties. Since then my beds are a mix of veggies and
flowers. I work at a market garden in Otford where we teach a 10 week seasonal growing course for
beginners and I am studying horticulture at Tafe.

What do you love most about food?

Growing food is incredibly rewarding. Theres no better feeling than gifting a healthy bunch of
something from my garden to a friend. The smiles it brings!

What does ensuring food security for all mean for you and your work?

It means equipping people from all backgrounds, with the knowledge and access to land to grow
their own food.

Any exciting projects in the works?

Im organising Illawarras first Edible Garden Trail happening on the 11/12 Nov! Were currently
looking for people growing veg on all scales to be hosts on the trail between Helensburgh and
Woonona, if that could be you check out FFI socials for the event link.

What is one action that our readers can take to support a fairer food system?

Read the packaging of every product you buy in the supermarket, look for the Australia made logo
with the scale percentage and choose the item that has the most Australian ingredients or is wholl
made here! Basically shop local!

Join the Illawarra Edible Garden Trail! "IndyWatch Feed Alllocal"

Weve got some exciting news! Food Fairness Illawarra will host the inaugural Illawarra Edible Garden Trail on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 November 2023 from 10am-4pm. This event is supported by Gillys Kitchen Garden and Treemates. Register your interest here.

What is an Edible Garden Trail?

An edible garden trail is a weekend where gardeners of all levels and in all environments open their front gate to the general public to meander through. Its all about connecting budding gardeners, well-rooted growers and sticky-beakers, to share all the growing tricks and tips for different environments.

The Edible Garden Trail is an opportunity to visit and talk with locals growing in all types of gardens, from big sunny backyards, to shaded verges, to seeing potted balcony gardens or school veggie patches.
Anne Jane Linke, organiser of the Illawarra Edible Garden Trail.

Gardens will be open between Helensburgh to Woonona with the event extending in further years across the Illawarra; the trail will expand to Wollongong in 2024 and to Windang in 2025.

Why are events like this important?

The Edible Garden Trail offers insight into an alternative, more resilient food system based on backyard growing. With the changing climate, localised food production is becoming increasingly important; industrial agriculture contributes 15% of all Australias greenhouse gas emissions so transforming our food system is an urgent priority.

The Edible Garden Trail is also a chance to deepen understanding around the local environment, including native foods that have been lost to urbanisation; the Illawarra has a flavourful spectrum of native foods such as the Illawarra Plum that would have contributed greatly to the Dharawal diet. The Trail is an opportunity to strengthen community connections and bring food production, of both native and non-native foods, back to the area.

The escarpment creates many different environments to grow food in and this weekend is all about teaching each other how to start growing something or to learn how to grow more with your neighbours.
-Kelly Andrews, CEO of Healthy Cities Illawarra

Lastly, the Edible Garden Trail will highlight the importance of seasonality and educate participants on seasonal produce in the Illawarra. Seasonal eating refers to eating fruit and vegetables that are in season or at the peak of their freshness and flavour during a specific time of the year. In-season food is better for you, tastier and cheaper; it requires less travel and less controlled, artificial environments to grow in!

Lions helping children with bears "IndyWatch Feed Alllocal"

Torquay Lions Club has received a Certificate of Appreciation for its teddy bears and koala project.

Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) Torquay unit controller Mark Heaysman presented the certificate to Torquay Lions service chair Catherine Rowe and Lion Bill Ferguson on Monday, July 10.

Mr Ferguson said the club distributed teddy bears and koalas to the local police, VICSES, Country Fire Authority (CFA) and ambulance personnel to give out to traumatised youth.

Those emergency response people are often the ones that deal with situations where theres trauma or some sort of emergency has occurred, he said.

We give them these bears so that they can hand them over and maybe that provides some comfort for the child and family.

Mr Ferguson said the club regularly provides teddy bears and koalas to the local emergency services and that they all do a fabulous job.

We can all visualise how children involved in some unsuspecting event can be disturbed at not understanding what is happening around them, he said.

The bears and koalas are just one other way Torquay Lions is able to serve its local community through the services of others.

Mr Ferguson said the club was looking to potentially deliver more teddy bears and koalas to needy families through Torquay Lions work with Feed Me Surf Coast.

You see a lot of people who are doing it tough and in need in that situation too, he said.

We were thinking about taking bears with us on some of those runs because its not uncommon to deliver food to a single mum with a couple of kids. So that will cheer up their day as well.

Australian mainstream media is irretrievably broken "IndyWatch Feed Alllocal"

The latest example of media bias and a lack of journalistic integrity in Australia follows Dan Andrews' decision to cancel the Commonwealth Games, writes Belinda Jones.

VICTORIAN PREMIER Daniel Andrews did it again this week. He outraged the Australian media by cancelling the 2026 Commonwealth Games because of cost blowouts and predictably, the immature Melbourne press pack lost their collective minds.

If the 2026 Commonwealth Games had gone ahead and blown out by 300%, that same press pack would have also lost their collective minds because of that.

Everyone knows that everything in life has increased in price over the last few years, from fuel to groceries to houses, so it stands to reason that major infrastructure projects will also suffer the same fate and have cost blowouts. It is happening in every home, industry and business in the country everyone has had to make the tough decisions about what has to be cut from the budget and what can be left in.

Yet, when it happens to a government, mainstream media journalists see it as an opportunity for an irrational, partisan attack rather than view it through the same lens with which they view their own personal or business budgets. Even the ABC has had to make tough cuts due to budgetary pressures, including hundreds of jobs.

ABC News ran over-the-top, tabloid-style criticism of the Andrews Government for making the decision to scrap the expensive Games in multiple attack pieces across multiple platforms.

Berberine affects the proliferation, migration, invasion, cell cycle, and apoptosis of bladder cancer cells. "IndyWatch Feed National"

PMID: Arch Esp Urol. 2023 Mar ;76(2):152-160. PMID: 37139621 Abstract Title: Berberine Affects the Proliferation, Migration, Invasion, Cell Cycle, and Apoptosis of Bladder Cancer Cells T24 and 5637 by Down-Regulating the HER2/PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway. Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To assess the anticancer effect, target, and mechanism of berberine on bladder cancer.METHODS: Bladder cancer T24 and 5637 cells were treated with different concentrations of berberine. Then, cell proliferation was assessed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) measure, cell migration and invasion were assessed by transwell method, cell cycle and apoptosis were assessed by flow cytometry, and the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2/PhosphoInositide-3 Kinase/AKT Serine/Threonine Kinase (HER2/PI3K/AKT) proteins were assessed by Western blot. Berberine molecular docking and HER2 target were performed using the AutoDock Tools 1.5.6. Finally, HER2 inhibitors CP-724714 and berberine were used independently or in combination to detect AKT and P-AKT protein downstream changes by Western blot.RESULTS: Berberine inhibited the proliferation of T24 and 5637 bladder cancer cells in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner. Berberine can significantly inhibit the migration, invasion, and cell cycle progression of T24 and 5637 bladder cancer cells, promote their apoptosis, and down-regulate the expression of HER2/PI3K/AKT proteins. Berberine showed good docking with HER2 molecular target and had a similar and synergistic effect with HER2 inhibitor in T24 and 5637 bladder cancer cells.CONCLUSIONS: Berberine inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, and cell cycle progression of T24 and 5637 bladder cancer cells and promoted their apoptosis by down-regulating HER2/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

The True Cost of Julian Assanges Persecution: An Exclusive Interview with Stella Assange "IndyWatch Feed National"

The MintPress podcast, The Watchdog, hosted by British-Iraqi hip hop artist Lowkey, closely examines organizations about which it is in the public interest to know including intelligence, lobby and special interest groups influencing policies that infringe on free speech and target dissent. The Watchdog goes against the grain by casting a light on stories largely ignored by the mainstream, corporate media.

It is now four years since Julian Assange was imprisoned in Belmarshs high-security prison in London and eleven since he was forced into hiding in the Ecuadorean Embassy in the same city. But even before then, the Australian publisher and WikiLeaks co-founder has been under relentless attack from powerful bodies his organization exposed.

Today in The Watchdog studio, Lowkey is joined by Assanges wife Stella. Stella Assange is a South-African born lawyer and human rights defender. Her most famous case is undoubtedly that of her husband, whom she married in 2022. For years, Stella has tirelessly traveled the world raising awareness of Julians situation. Before marrying Julian, she attained degrees from the School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS) in London and from the University of Oxford. Earlier this year, she met with Pope Francis to discuss the situation of whom Lowkey described as the political prisoner of our time.

For Lowkey, Assanges brilliance was taking his anti-war passions and finding a way to directly work with units within the U.S. military to make the public aware of the illegal, immoral, and deeply unpopular decisions being taken in our name. As he said today:

Some of the most deeply heinous and hideous aspects of the Iraqi and Afghan occupations by the U.S., Britain and their allies, have been revealed within the WikiLeaks files. We are talking about millions of documents being made available to the public to understand truly what was happening.

Perhaps the most infamous leak was the Collateral Murder video, which showed footage of American helicopter pilots casually carrying out a massacre of Iraqi civilians in Baghdad in 2007, two of whom were Reuters-employed journalists.

Despite this, the media cheered Assanges arrest. The Washington Posts editorial board, for example,...

False progress "IndyWatch Feed National"

From 2024, the Grammys will feature an award for Best African Music Performance. Is the category a positive step embracing the global popularity of African music, or another homogenizing exotification?

alt — Anglique Kidjo at Womadelaide in Australia. Image credit Simon Loffler via Flickr CC BY-NC-SA 2.0.

In June, the Recording Academy announced three new categories for the 2024 Grammys: Best African Music Performance, Best Alternative Jazz Album and Best Pop Dance Recording. According to Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr., These changes reflect our commitment to actively listen and respond to the feedback from our music community, accurately represent a diverse range of relevant musical genres, and stay aligned with the ever-evolving musical landscape.

On its surface, this acknowledgment appears like one of several marked steps forward by the American music market to embrace the growing popularity and influence of various music genres from the continent. In 2016, Beninese musical legend Angelique Kidjo accepted a Grammy for Best Global Music Album, and foretold an upcoming watershed moment. I want to dedicate this Grammy to all the traditional musicians in Africa in my country, to all the younger generations that knew our music, Kidjo declared. Africa is on the rise. Since then, megastar artists such as Burna Boy and Wizkid have gone on to win Grammys, Billboard has launched the US Afrobeats Songs chart, and seemingly ubiquitous hits such as Wizkids Essence, Remas Calm Down, and Burna Boys Last Last have become Billboard Hot 100 mainstays. Yet, when Mason was interviewed in 2021 about Essence failing to make the finals for Record of the Year as the best-selling African record of all time in the US, the response was noncommittal: It is a great record. Hes a very talented artist. I cant speak to why it didnt make it, but I do really love the record.

For decades, the American music industry at large designated artists like Kidjo to the nebulous genre of world music, a label that is not stratified by any meaningful technical criteria, but by...

Pfizer and Moderna Face Legal Action in Australia Over Alleged Failure to Obtain Necessary Genetically Modified Organisms Licenses in COVID-19 Vaccines "IndyWatch Feed Politics.au"

The court case, identified as Julian Fidge v. Pfizer Australia Pty Ltd & Anor, marks a milestone in the ongoing global discourse around the risks of the experimental COVID-19 vaccines.

From the news release:

To paraphrase a line about the devil: .. the greatest trick Pfizer and Moderna ever pulled was to convince the world their products dont enter the nucleus, and alter chromosomal DNA, forever With a heavy heart I can now share with you the new legal proceedings we launched on 6 July, naming Pfizer and Moderna as the Defendants; our planets new IG Farbens producing a more subtle Zyklon B (said with respect to those affected by the latter).

Somaliland Minecrafters Show How Children Can Play a Role in Urban Design "IndyWatch Feed Allstate"

Some people say, "Give the customers what they want." But that's not my approach. Our job is to figure out what they're going to want before they do. I think Henry Ford once said, "If I'd asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, 'A faster horse!'" People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page.

Steve Jobs

Every planning process, whether short term or long term, starts with a question to residents asking what they want for their community. The answer is always the same: a better community. The planners then take this groundbreaking observation and add better community to the plans and the final recommendation. The planners can celebrate that they have given the residents of the city exactly what they wanted: a faster horse.

Urban design must be more nuanced and provide the opportunity for innovation. A process that allows for innovation starts with many humble observations before a single idea is tested. The urban designer needs to read the things that are not already on the page: they need to be able to show citizens the things they didnt know they wanted. A skilled urban designer is also able to observe opportunities hiding in plain sight.

I recently read an incredible article highlighting an innovative, if not radical, approach in the master plan for Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland. Somaliland, a breakaway republic in northern Somalia, was ravaged by civil war and ethnic cleansing where over 200,000 people died. Hargeisa is now a recovering city that is rapidly growing. People between the ages of six and 29 comprise 62% of Somalilands population. The future for Hargeisa rests in the minds of the youth and children of the city. These are the citizens that have the opportunity to chart a different path and develop a city for their future.

How, though, do you involve young people in the urban design process? More challenging, how do you involve children in a place where over 25% do not attend school and there are very low literacy rates? The answer: Minecraft.

Through a UN-sponsored initiative, 15 of Hargeisas youth used Minecraft to model and propose design elements for the new Hargeisa Stadium Park. According to the article in the Financial Times, they drew on their experience playing in existing improvised spaces, including dangerous street junctions [and] litter-strewn private plots. A larger group of 47 young people participated in a discussion...

Productivity Commissions clapped out thinking demands clean out "IndyWatch Feed National"

"TheCommissions claim that it is too costly topreference the development of domestic industry over imports is completely at odds with contemporary reality and recent experience.These are no ordinary economic times, Australia and the world are going through an industrial revolution as we fundamentally restructure how our societies are powered. Yet the Commission seem to think that its just business as usual."

The Productivity CommissionsTrade and Assistance Review is further evidence of the need to completely overhaul the Commission, the Electrical Trades Union said today.

While the northern hemisphere swelters through record heatwaves, the Commissions report completely overlooks the social cost of inaction on climate change, by considering only the market price of carbon rather than the broader cost of communities being devastated by economic collapse or natural disasters.

ETU National Secretary, Michael Wright, said the Productivity Commission was not up to the task of providing useful advice to Government on energy transition.

Revitalising Australian manufacturing will build clean energy supply chains and deliver much broader social and economic benefits than the simple cost of the carbon abated. Its almost like the Productivity Commission completely missed the COVID pandemic, where Australia was left completely exposed without masks, gowns and gloves, because we had gutted our manufacturing industry in the name of economic orthodoxy.

"Australias resilience, diversity, and security all depend on us having robust supply chains and industrial capacity to respond to a warmer, more uncertain world.

It is farcical for the Commission to suggest the Safeguard Mechanism unfairly benefits companies that emit less than 100,000 tons of carbon per year.The entire point of the Safeguard Mechanism is to provide a pathway for high emitting facilities to lower their emissions.

"And when the commission suggests it is unfair to target climate adaptation investments at specific sectors or regions you have to wonder if this report is actuallysatire. Is the Commission seriously suggesting that the lottery of the postcode or industry you started in decades ago, means you should shoulder the cost of a global energy transition?

Ahead of her Eora/Sydney Splendour sideshow, Sudan Archives caught up with me on Up For It! Her most recent record Natural Brown Prom Queen features the violinist, singer and producers trademark instrumentation, conceptually exploring the ties between home, family, and belonging. The album is so easy to relate to, delving into the experiences so many of us have entering adulthood.

When we were growing up, me and my sister couldnt wait to leave Ohiowe just felt like it was not the place to be if you want to do musicOnce we left, we kind of missed it, you kind of learn to appreciate it more, especially being in L.A which can be a weird place at times. You have to be grounded.

Known for her mastery of the violin, I keen to get the story on how she first got into playing and how this developed into her signature style. Sudan Archives first came across classical instrumentation from a group of fiddlers who did some lessons at her school.

I grew up in a small town called Wyoming in Ohio, when I was in 4th grade they had an orchestra at the school and they had some fiddlers come in one day from Canada or Ireland, somewhere out of the country. They were like were here to teach you about fiddle music, I was like okay?. They were playing the violin but they were dancing while they played, doing Irish jig. I was kind of intrigued, like okay I think I can do that. I started playing and havent stopped ever since.

The Dangerous Future of Artificial Intelligence "IndyWatch Feed Alllocal"

AI experts say that AI could potentially start new cults, become an influential propaganda machine, disseminate misinformation and fake news, incite widespread public distrust of the media, thus corrupt free speech, and can ultimately defenestrate democracy.

Today, the Australians for Artificial Intelligence Safety Group created an open letter calling for the Australian government to take AI safety seriously and regulate the industry.

Despite calls around the globe and mounting concerns of the real-world harms that AI contributes to, a spokesperson for Australians for AI Safety Group said Minister for Industry and Science, Ed Husic, dismissed these warnings stating they are darkly negative. Members of the government, then, are not taking the catastrophic or existential risks of AI seriously, unlike other countries including Singapore and the UK. Singapore has created the AI Verify Foundation, working to develop AI testing tools to enable safe and responsible AI. Similar safety-focused government labs are proposed in the UK. Australia is yet to propose a national lab of this kind.

Now, in a post to social media, the band has announced they would be sticking to their original plans, releasing their new album FATALISM on September 1 and continuing their Australian and North American tours as planned. After much consideration, in the face of everything we are dealing with, we have decided to proceed with our upcoming plans. This means our new album FATALISM will still be released on September 1, the band said. This is the last set of complete songs that we wrote together with Ryan, and though the circumstances of their release are now framed by this tragedy, the meaning of the songs and the love we have for them has not changed. We are incredibly proud of this record and looking forward to sharing it with you, and now more than ever we hope that you will connect with it. The Fatalism Australian & North American tours will be going ahead as planned. Please note that the Brisbane & Newcastle shows of the AU tour have already sold out. We also have another short set of international dates that were booked several months ago, which we will be announcing very shortly. These shows were always going to be special to us, but now they come with a different weight. Playing these shows will not be easy It will be different. It will be beautiful & bittersweet.

But this is what we love most, and right now we choose to put our faith in the healing power of art and community. We want to do this for ourselves, for you, and for Ryan. We hope to see you there. <blockquote class="instagram-media"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex;"> <div style= "background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"> </div> ...</div> </div> </blockquote>
