Whilst I didn't always agree with their pronouncements, having a fact checker at this time seems to me a very important thing.
They include reference to "a new in-house verification reporting team, ABC News Verify", but that sounds like they'll only be verifying their own news, which is nice, but not the point.
Eleven years ago, the first formal fact check was published at the ABC. A lot has been fact checked between then and now — here's how to spot a dubious claim.
You could read David Leigh's book, in which he published the full decryption key: https://www.amazon.com/WikiLeaks-Inside-Julian-Assanges-Secrecy/dp/161039061X
That's literally how he leaked it.
The wikipedia article on it has the whole "he said - she said":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks:_Inside_Julian_Assange's_War_on_Secrecy
Including the lie that is frequently parroted about Assange not caring about people dying.
That was an editor at The Guardian, David Leigh.
This didn't happen, Wikileaks vetted information before releasing it for exactly this reason.
Name one person.
Its technically US soil, so he could enter his plea there in a US court, but its the closest place to Australia, because he obviously refused to step foot on the American continent.
Yes, the threats worked and the corrupt won.
Now he gets to see his kids.
I'd choose that too.
You can call it cowardice, I'd call it pragmatism.
The US get to show just how tough they are on whistleblowers and their associates.
Assange gets to go home.
If I was him, I'd keep my head down and try to get to know my kids.
WikiLeaks says its founder, Julian Assange, has been released from prison and has left the United Kingdom, shortly after court documents revealed a plea deal that would allow him to return to Australia.

I didn't say they were great.
I'm saying that the current rise in minors is a symptom of voter dissatisfaction.
These changes to WA law related to firearms are sold to the general public as being "tough on crime" or in some nebulous way "making communities safer", when realistically they won't impact criminals in any but the most tangential way.
What is going to happen is that someone who is a law abiding citizen, already subject to all sorts of regulatory compliance, is going to have decide which of their guns they can most easily forgo to get under an arbitrary cap.
If you don't like guns, lets use a metaphor and imagine you're a golfer who is now forced to choose whether they are going to forgo the putter, the sand wedge, the iron or the wood - because people who don't even play golf have decided you can only have 3.
There are very few people, even in a dyed in community like shooting, that are so one eyed as to wholly pivot their vote on a single issue.
But it has lead directly to minor parties and independents gaining traction in regional areas (places where gun owners per capita are higher).
This is why groups like Shooters Fishers and Farmers sprung up.
the cheapest and most widespread nuclear reactor design
Can you share this knowledge, please?
This specific image from the article has me cringing:
The WA government says its new firearms laws are the toughest in the country, “making explicit that the possession and use of a firearm is a privilege but not a right”, according to the police minister.
So 450 x 1.8 = $810B
(I’m assuming I haven’t made a mistake about the 14 hours of storage and the converting between GW and GWh).
You have, that $1.8B would get 14GWh, not 1.
So 450 / 14 = 32.2
32.2 * 1.8 = $57.96B
These are all back of the envelope numbers of course, but 58 is ~ 14 times less than 810.
Would their seven proposed nuclear stations be cheaper than $810 Billion?
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-22/nuclear-power-double-the-cost-of-renewables/103868728
CSIRO has cranked these numbers out in a whole bunch of configurations.
In short: Australia's leading scientific organisation found it would cost at least $8.5 billion to build a large-scale nuclear power plant in the country.
8.5 * 7 = $59.5B
So it's within the ballpark to build 7 nuclear powerplants, compared to 33 (more likely less but bigger) off river pumped hydro locations.
Which don't cost as much to run, have no "scary" nuclear and can be operable much sooner, integrating with the existing infrastructure (instead of replacing it, as Nuclear effectively would have to).
If we build even one Nuclear power plant, we're going to see continuing solar and wind curtailment, exactly like they do with coal right now - which will effectively set an expensive floor on power prices.
Nuclear isn't happening if we follow the science, the money and the NIMBY sentiment.
Edit to add:
The BIGGEST difference in my mind is where the money will come from.
No financial institution will touch Nuclear, it would have to be tax dollars.
Whilst private companies are always angling for government subsidy, they are also clamouring to invest in this themselves.
A quick google search gives me a private example that is projected to come online this year: https://genexpower.com.au/250mw-kidston-pumped-storage-hydro-project/
It's only 2GWh, but it's going to start contributing to the end of coal by the end of this year, which ignoring the environmental benefit, is going to reduce wholesale power prices.
Waiting for Nuclear will make power prices worse, as the interim calls for continuing to run the coal and gas, which isn't going to make it 15 years, so new coal (or more likely a buttload more gas) will have to be built.
Which is going to RAISE prices, as it's no longer just running costs on paid off installations, it's repaying loans on new constructions.
That source doesn’t have a link to their paper that works.
Yeah, link rot.
I did some googling for you: https://www.ceem.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/documents/Low Emission Fossil Scenarios.pdf
But as far as I know we can’t build anywhere near enough hydro in Australia.
A study at the Australian National University (ANU) identified about 3,000 low-cost potential sites around Australia with head typically better than 300 metres and storage larger than one gigalitre (see Figure 3). The sites identified have a combined energy storage potential of around 163,000 GWh. To put this into perspective, a transition to a 100% renewable electricity system would need 450 GWh of PHES storage. The potential pumped hydro energy storage resource is almost 300 times more than required. Developers can afford to be very selective since only about 20 sites (the best 0.1% of sites) would be required to support 100% renewable electricity generation.
Emphasis mine.
Let me paraphrase the LNP here:
"Private companies have researched Nuclear and decided it's not cost effective."
"Financial institutions have investigated Nuclear and decided they WILL NOT INVEST."
"But our financial backers at the Mineral Council and the private companies dragging the last of the profit out of their end of life coal power stations are insisting that we continue with our current market AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, so we've decided to announce an extremely long term plan, to scare private investment out of renewables short term."
"Don't worry, between NIMBYs in the target areas, laws surrounding nuclear energy, lack of local expertise and the general unsuitability of Nuclear for our widely dispersed yet small population, we won't actually build more than one of these things."
"Jokes on them, we were only pretending to be retarded."
Fake job listings are increasingly used by companies to give the illusion they're thriving and to placate overworked staff. If you're applying for work, there are plenty of clues to look out for to avoid wasting your time.
It's been a long time since I was on the job market, but it was certainly disheartening how low the response ratio was. I must have sent out 40 applications for every response, even an acknowledgement of receipt was rare.
And thank you for modding.
I didn't want to call you out by name.
You've already noticed that I've transferred here as my official instance.

Then a moderator was unhappy with my posts, so I stopped.
My gut suggests it's a font issue, like librewolf is using a system font and firefox is using embedded or downloaded fonts.
backing that up with a search, I see there's lots of people complaining of font rendering issues of various types in the librewolf subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/LibreWolf/search/?q=font

I personally would rather see then take some of the "extra" money and apportion it to suitable client projects themselves, but I can understand them not wanting to become financial administrators in that way.

.1 was hotfixes to do with the major release.
Everything since then appears to just be shipping features as soon as they are proven stable.
I've updated 10.9.1 -> 10.9.2 -> 10.9.3 (and I'm about to do .4) and I just manually fire off the trickplay generating task after each update.
It quickly walks through the files that have already been done and then resumes processing from where it left off.

I'm also personally waiting for 10.9.1, there appears to be a small migration issue, and a memory leak.

So I just stumbled across something called Occupation: Rainfall, which is SciFi, made in Australia, set in Australia etc etc, so it ticks a lot of boxes for me. Apparently it is a sequel to Occupation, and regardless of how these things actually rated with reviewers, I feel like I've missed something by being unaware they even came out.
And this is almost certainly because I've made a concerted (and broadly successful) effort for over a decade to avoid ads.
