'ABC's chief election analyst Antony Green says there is no viable path for the Canberra Liberals, led by Elizabeth Lee, to form government.

The Canberra Liberals have won at most 10 seats in the 25-seat Legislative Assembly.

Labor have likely won 10 and cannot win a majority, but will be able to form a governing coalition.

The ACT Greens are on track to win three seats, while two are likely to go to independents.' #auspol


Concert ticket dynamic pricing, hotel and gym hidden fees, face government ban

"We welcome the upholding of the court’s finding of systemic unconscionable conduct by Captain Cook College as well as the finding that (parent company) Site and (former COO) Blake Wills were knowingly concerned in this conduct," ACCC commissioner Liza Carver said in a statement.

"Captain Cook College sought to maximise its profit at the expense of vulnerable students who were left with a debt, and at the expense of the commonwealth, by claiming more than $50 million under the VET FEE HELP scheme.

“We brought this case because there was clear evidence that Captain Cook College enrolled vulnerable and disadvantaged consumers in courses they were unlikely to ever complete or receive any vocational benefit from despite incurring a large VET FEE-HELP debt. Over 90 per cent of those consumers did not complete any part of their online course, and about 86 per cent of them never even logged into their course.”

I completely agree with Mike Freelander—it's truly appalling that the government would prioritise briefing lobbyists over its own caucus on such an important issue. The influence of the gambling industry on policy is a major concern, and it seems Labor is indeed being "softened up." The public deserves strong and decisive action against gambling ads, particularly on TV and social media, where they can have a harmful impact, especially on vulnerable communities. It’s high time the government put people’s well-being ahead of industry interests.#GamblingAds #PolicyReform #PublicHealth #StopTheSpin #PeopleOverProfits #AusPol

“You have to name the demon to slay it," Giridharan Sivaraman, AHRC Race Discrimination commissioner

Human Rights Commission report says governments fail on racism — here are six recommendations - ABC News https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-12/human-rights-commission-report-says-government-failing-on-racism/104085808

… you also have to actively look for the ‘demon’ to be able to ‘name the demon’. But government agencies are often overly focused on the celebratory‘ Harmony’ events, that it overshadows the ‘elimination of racial discrimination’.
