An Australian conspiracy movement influencer has been found guilty of illegally collecting donations and failing to account for money and property for an anti-vaccine flood relief group that was created because he claimed other charities weren’t transparent enough. Yesterday David Oneeglio pleaded guilty to two charges under Queensland’s Collections Act 1966 for his role in Aussie Helping Hands and Aussie Helping Hearts, the two operating names for an organisation that was revealed by a Crikey investigation to have illegally raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to help Northern Rivers flood victims in early 2022.

Tyrannical despot and leader of the Victorian Labor Party Daniel Andrews has romped home to an historic third state election win after he strong-armed citizens into taking part in a callous process that forces them to choose who they vote for.

The Victorian Premier has proposed to rename the 'Maroondah Hospital" to the "Queen Elizabeth II" hospital as part of their November 2022 State election platform on health care funding and hospital infrastructure works. We say YES to hospital funding, investment and redevelopment, but a resounding NO to renaming the hospital from an Aboriginal derived word "Maroondah" into being known as the "Queen Elizabeth II" hospital. Please sign this petition to oppose the regressive name change proposal and call on Dan Andrews to take back this election promise.

....Fox is trying to have its legal cake and eat it too. The company argues in the U.S. that it should not be punished for broadcasting lies about Dominion and the 2020 election, while seeking punishment in Australia for what it claims are lies about its role in the election. What’s especially galling is that Fox is trying to avoid any punishment for the significant harm that Dominion has already documented — including threats made against its employees — while Murdoch is seeking damages for “substantial hurt, distress and embarrassment” allegedly caused by an article in a publication whose modest readership has for years heard far worse about Murdoch and his even more loathed father. “It’s a pretty incredible contrast,” noted Angelo Carusone, the president of Media Matters, a nonprofit media watchdog. “It exposes their inconsistency and hypocrisy.”

I got a "smart" TV, but have never connected it to a network.. I made sure I got one with an ethernet port, turned wifi OFF and have never plugged in a network cable. The IP address has been set to something that will never work in the off chance someone ever does accidentally plug it in.
I made sure it is one that can be upgraded with the firmware on a USB stick, it does not need to be online to be upgraded..
It is used as a huge monitor for a Linux multimedia PC, but that's fine!

How Big Tech and Big Content Captured Creative Labor Markets and How We'll Win Them Back Authors:Rebecca Giblin,Cory Doctorow DescriptionPraise and ReviewsTable of ContentsReader Reviews A call to action for the creative class and labor movement to rally against the power of Big Tech and Big Media Corporate concentration has breached the stratosphere, as have corporate profits. An ever-expanding constellation of industries are now monopolies (where sellers have excessive power over buyers) or monopsonies (where buyers hold the whip hand over sellers)—or both. In Chokepoint Capitalism, scholar Rebecca Giblin and writer and activist Cory Doctorow argue we’re in a new era of “chokepoint capitalism,” with exploitative businesses creating insurmountable barriers to competition that enable them to capture value that should rightfully go to others. All workers are weakened by this, but the problem is especially well-illustrated by the plight of creative workers. From Amazon’s use of digital rights management and bundling to radically change the economics of book publishing, to Google and Facebook’s siphoning away of ad revenues from news media, and the Big Three record labels’ use of inordinately long contracts to up their own margins at the cost of artists, chokepoints are everywhere. By analyzing book publishing and news, live music and music streaming, screenwriting, radio and more, Giblin and Doctorow deftly show how powerful corporations construct “anti-competitive flywheels” designed to lock in users and suppliers, make their markets hostile to new entrants, and then force workers and suppliers to accept unfairly low prices. In the book’s second half, Giblin and Doctorow then explain how to batter through those chokepoints, with tools ranging from transparency rights to collective action and ownership, radical interoperability, contract terminations, job guarantees, and minimum wages for creative work. Chokepoint Capitalism is a call to workers of all sectors to unite to help smash these chokepoints and take back the power and profit that’s being heisted away—before it’s too late.
