The sky propaganda said this after the last election, the libs put Dutton as leader and did just that. Historic loss for them.
Again they are saying it now. I look forward to the libs following the advice more and getting reduced to a minor party.
I used to think that a majority labor govt should have fixing media concentration as a top priority.
I think they should still do it, but it's becoming less of an top priority issue these days.
Murdoch and Packer/Gina propaganda failed this time and last.
I think that the billionaires have learnt it's easy to negotiate in the background with labor to get their reforms through as far as cutting red and green tape goes.
Bolt is just salty because he built his whole fake media persona on culture war outrage. The worst thing that could happen to him is happening, that is him and the rest of the sky talking heads are losing audience share and fading in to irrelevance.
Not even our first rodeo. Both of our major parties are abhorrent on digital rights.

Another thing I like about aldi is it doesn't have inane music and ads blasting at you over a P.A. If I go there when it's not peak time it's nearly silent which makes shopping feel very peaceful and makes me want to spend longer in the place.
Also much faster to navigate than colesworth due to less aisles of stuff I mostly have no interest in.
But will she enable the option to create bookmarks from word headings? Surely no one ready for that.
Also to be fair, we in Australia are far from being some car free utopia either.
We have heaps of car dependant urban sprawl in our major cities where the vast majority of us live. We are also adding more of this sprawl all the time.
On the plus side most of our state capital cities have got decent heavy rail networks which you can park at stations and ride.
Maybe an attempt to push more people to their app? Then they can harvest more user data which investors value.
Could do, but likely won't. The voters punished Labor when shorten mentioned policies that maybe might have started making houses more affordable.
Personally i think CGT discounts should never have been a thing. Negative gearing should only have been for new builds and with a time limit of say 10 years.
Short of a time traveling assassination of John Howard I don't think we can easily unfuck the last few decades of bad policy.
If the govt is going to exert control over "smart" TVs, I would rather they ban ads and data collection from TV operating systems / apps that can't be removed.
Been using android since the first galaxy. Never have I experienced such a fuck up as when I let my pixel 7 pro update to 14. And this is from someone that used to run random custom stuff going back a few years.
Android 14 caused my phone memory to become corrupt and I had no choice but to factory reset, losing everything not synced. Apparently this was due to running two separate user profiles.
Somehow Google was too busy finding ways to get and sell more of our data and forgot to test if this basic feature fucking works.
Not looking forward to Monday when I'll have to jump through flaming hoops to set up my work micrishaft authenticator / profile / intune crap again.
Other beef with 14, custom launchers are broken. I have never been able to stand the stock launcher, it is like babies first launcher. No customisation options and the stupid search bar can't be removed. A few apps I use on a regular basis claim to to not be compatible, even though they ran fine for several days in 14 till the whole thing shit itself.
On the UI front I feel as if everything seems to get more bland each release with less interesting customisation than we had circa android 5.
I really like this. I'm sure politicians are at least a decade away from considering it though.
It should not be viable for office workers to drive their V8 turbo diesel ice cap melter in to the CBD each day. Would need a sizeable levee to make an impact to that behaviour.
Since my work "upgraded" to windows 11 the task bar is the bane of my existence.
We all run a laptop docked with two monitors. In windows 10 I would set a monitor as primary, drag the task bar to the laptop screen. That would result in the most real estate for the software I use with out clutter.
Can't fucking do this is 11. It's either primary or all monitors for task bar. Someone suggested auto hide the task bar. Holy shit even that has been fucking ruined in 11. It turns off randomly and frequently. Plus notifications seem to over ride the hiding.
