At Estimates Defence confirmed it on the record that the Palantir software Defence is paying $14.4 million for is the same suite of products used in Gaza, Lebanon, and the US attack on Iran. I then asked if anyone ran an ethics check. See what happens next.

The Albanese Labor government is currently talking with the US about what data Trump gets access to on Australians traveling there. We need clarity that Australians' biometric data will be safe from Palantir, the US far-right tech giant powering ICE's deportation machine.

This whole LOTE project for the Collins Class was based on the idea we would get French submarines, something that disappeared in 2021 when Morrison chose AUKUS. That means Defence bought a whole bunch of stuff, based on a now scrapped idea. Here are the figures.

AUKUS is such a rotten deal, that even buying second hand submarines still means the Australian public is paying top dollar.

What happens when every Fed department is responsible for AI data centres but none of them actually is? At Estimates we found out: foreign multinationals make commercial decisions, states rip up their planning laws, and the water and energy consequences are someone else's problem

BREAKING Its not just the US and UAE, Australia also providing 'defensive' military support to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar. The Albanese Labor Government cannot pretend we are not involved Trump and Netanyahu's war of choice when we up to our neck in it.

There are hundreds of Australian troops in the US military right now. I asked what their role in the war on Iran is. Defence said: "our people have a very clear understanding of that remit that limits a number of them to defensive roles only". How does that work when you are on a US sub?

The Australian War Memorial is sponsored by the companies that build the weapons that kill people, and at Estimates today we made them say so out loud.

Trump has just told Albanese that he is not giving Australia any new submarines under AUKUS. I asked Defence how this can still be the 'optimal pathway'. The response is... interesting.

We now know that the Chief of Navy has ordered every Australian embedded in every US nuclear submarine to follow all orders given them by the US military. If they don't they face disciplinary charges. We need to end AUKUS before we become the official 51st US State.

Healthy cities have people continuously coming and going from near and far. Cities without immigration decay and suffer economically. Immigration policies should reflect these demographic realities. For more, see my new book "Immigration and Urban Vitality: How Newcomers Make Cities Strong."

Putting the common good over profit is the essence of socialism. Putting profit over people is the essence of capitalism. Without corporate media influence, people choose socialism over capitalism. This is why 6 corporations own 90% of the media to ensure people never wake up.

Howwwwdy folks and welcome to Wolfy Wednesday, make each journey, trip and mile awesome, as part of a howwwwling good day.

Pope Leo XIV: I hear very troubling accounts of algorithms that can block access to healthcare, employment, and security. Nuclear disarmament remains a service to peace. AI now demands to be disarmed, freed from logics that turned it into an instrument of domination, exclusion, and death.

Demonstrant "Nederland wordt helemaal omvolkt, dat woord mag je niet gebruiken." Markuszower: "Van mij wel hoor, we worden omgevolkt, dat is gewoon zo." #AIVD ziet de complottheorie als kenmerk van rechts-extremisme. De term is ook verbonden aan nazi-Duitsland en antisemitisme.

I liked how because of Midori's height, he always lands on his feet. But because of his inexperience, it always seems entirely incidental. His feet just happened to be near the ground.
