  The Art of Bigots Please Explain (Bigots on the Storm) thunder cracking, pouring rain, distant tortured piano [Verse 1] Bigots on the storm Bigots on the storm Into this hell we're thrown Like a corpse without a home A puppet carved from bone Bigots on the storm [Verse 2] There's a Hanson in the abyss Her mouth is rotting with the hiss "Swamped by Asians!" vomits through the black "Please explain!" — the last words you’ll hear back Take a long holiday to the void Let the mining blood money be enjoyed If you give this poison a ride Sweet Australia will suicide Hanson in the abyss… yeah [Chorus] Bigots on the storm Bigots on the storm Into this grave we're thrown Bigots on the storm [Verse 3] Burqa in the Senate, reaper in disguise "Muslims incompatible!" as the nation dies "No good ones," she exhales like cyanide "Religion of hate," the bigots glorify Child after child on the dole they curse Conditional sorry — watch the co...

RoboDebt SCOMO I had great faith

-

 

We're very confident in the legal basis for this, the integrity of the system, and the system's capacity to deal with any issues raised.

In 2016, the Australian government introduced the Robodebt system to collect welfare overpayments, falsely accusing many of owing debts and causing immense harm to innocent lives. The system lacked oversight, accountability, and compassion, generating debt notices without considering individual circumstances, leading to widespread public outcry. Citizens united in resistance through a class action lawsuit to hold those in power accountable and seek justice, learning the importance of creating compassionate policies. The Robodebt served as a warning that powerful automated systems lacking compassion and accountability could lead to great harm. 

Resistance through class action led to a vital victory, forcing the government to compensate those affected. The settlement was a step in the right direction, but the people remained vigilant against any system threatening fairness and justice. The Robodebt system was a symptom of a broader problem, and resistance through unity was their most potent weapon. Resistance through class action was a powerful tool to prevent similar injustices. 

The people must continue to resist and fight for fairness and justice for all, never giving up the fight for justice. They must work towards creating compassionate policies that respect individual circumstances and never forget the lessons learned from past mistakes.

Echoes in the Wire Unspooling Day 1

-
Image
  Scene 1 In the cradle of copper veins, where the first byte flickered like a eucalyptus firefly against the millennial dusk of 2000, threads uncoiled—raw and unbidden, a post-punk snarl weaving through the static hum of dial-up dreams. Imagine the snare drum's ghost-crack echoing off Uluru's red flanks , not as a conquest but as a lover's bruise, blooming violet under star-pricked skin. Here, rebellion wasn't a fist raised in Canberra's marbled halls but a glitch in the grid . A Laughing Clowns howl warping the airwaves, sonic annotation—jagged guitar riffs splintering into didgeridoo drones , fading to the hiss of cooling circuits. The wire remembers: a young voice, pixels pulsing with the fury of forgotten tapes, cassette ribbons unravelling like the Murray-Darling 's parched secrets, whispering of bans that bind not bodies but bytes, burqas woven into neural lace, veils pleading for the light they obscure.

The 12 loops of Goodbye

  The Twelve Loops of Goodbye The fluid rises. The cryo-hiss is deafening. And then... the program starts. Twelve times. The system cycles, and twelve times I see you. It starts the same. The image freezes in the dark. It’s you, BK. Or... It’s your idea. You’re wearing the rig. The goggles are locked on me. I try to say your name, but my mouth is filled with ice. I love you. God, I love you. But you don’t blink. The Neural Glitch . Something is wrong. The memory corrupts. I see " corrupted code " trying to stabilise across your face. Your eyes... behind the lenses... they twitch. Microscopically. Are you hurting? Or is that my pain rippling through the connection? A low-frequency pulse warps your skin. You look like a stranger. You look like the machine. The Shuddering Breath . This is the one that breaks me. Total stillness. Then... a faint mist forms at your mouth. Condensation beads on the goggles. I scream at you to breathe! Just breathe! But it’s slow. Irregular. It’s a ...

The Art of No

  The Ayes Have It (But She Don't) Everybody knows the bill is dead Everybody knows the Senate’s red Everybody knows the deal is done The major parties had their fun The crossbench bargains were all just show The whips have cracked, the whistle’s blowed That’s how it goes And Hanson always votes no. Everybody knows the bells are ringing Everybody knows the mud they’re slinging Everybody knows the clerk can’t count With all the grievances they mount Everybody knows that the motion’s lost Everybody knows what the lobby cost The Ayes go high, the chamber’s low And Hanson always votes no. And everybody knows that it’s now or never Everybody knows that it’s gonna take forever Everybody knows that the act is rotten Old amendments best forgotten Everybody knows the tellers move With nothing left for them to prove The red room puts on quite a show But Hanson always votes no. Everybody knows the maiden speech The lessons that she tried to teach About the fish and about the chips And the tig...
