New Three Waters: Same Same but Different

The Government has announced its new Three Waters plan, and called it Affordable Waters. They clearly think we are all stupid and don’t realise that, despite the ‘new’ name, it is still the same stupid plan but with added complexity, and still has the offensive and racist co-governance

A Real Case of Foreign Influence — And No-One Cares

‘Disinformation’: It’s What They Do Best

Veteran journalist Glenn Greenwald recently wrote that: “Anyone who claims to be: a ‘disinformation expert’; an ‘anti-extremist expert’; an ‘online safety expert’ is a fraud.
