Day nine cont:

“Andrew CLENNEL: Alright, joining me live is Shadow #HousingMinister #MichaelSukkar. He is in the marginal Labor seat of #McEwen, just taken part in a press conference with #PeterDutton with this new announcement. Michael Sukkar, thanks for your time. You’re proposing to cut the #InternationalStudent intake from 320,000 to 240,000 – isn’t that along the lines of what the government has been trying to achieve anyway? And you blocked their #StudentCap #legislation.”

“Michael SUKKAR: No, Andrew, what we’ve seen under this government is increased #StudentNumbers. They completely botched their attempt at trying to address this issue because they tried to placate all of the #VestedInterests involved. And that means that we’ve seen more than a million #migrants over two years. Our announcement today, Andrew is part of a suite of measures to help Australians battle this #HousingCrisis.”

🤦‍♂️

"Meanwhile, corporate media asks, “Can he do that?” These stories are engineered to distract the public with technicalities. While everyone’s debating what they can and can’t do, they are doing it.

We know this administration’s pattern of loose interpretation when it comes to law and historical precedent. There’s no reason to believe he’ll stop here, instead using this act to use force against anyone his administration considers a threat, regardless of their status or what they’re protesting.

You also have to remember this country has a long, established history of censoring speech and leading witch hunts. During WWI, god help you if you didn’t buy enough liberty bonds or called yourself a pacifist.

We’re the land of moral panics.

Every single one of this administration’s actions have been building toward this moment, when the president suspends our civil and human rights. It explains why they’ve taken such aggressive action toward federal agencies, firing tens of thousands of workers and purging their ranks of anyone who might say no. They’ve already been testing boundaries, daring courts to stop them as they shut down government operations and kidnap U.S. citizens."

Update. "The Trump Administration Is Targeting Science. The Scientific Integrity Act Could Help Protect It."
https://blog.ucsusa.org/kellickson/the-trump-administration-is-targeting-science-the-scientific-integrity-act-could-help-protect-it/

"The Scientific Integrity Act (#SI Act) is a bipartisan bill re-introduced on February 6th in the US House of Representatives… [It] would include language prohibiting scientific or research misconduct; preventing intimidation or attempted coercion to alter or censor scientific or technical findings; and allowing public dissemination of scientific and technical findings…It would ensure that scientific conclusions are not made based on political considerations but based on the best available science."
