On this day — 27 October 1728 — Captain James Cook was born, a navigator whose skill, and curiosity reshaped the world’s understanding of the Pacific — and left an enduring mark on Australia’s history. Cook’s prowess as an explorer was unmatched in his era. Across three great voyages, he charted vast stretches of ocean with extraordinary precision, mapped coastlines never before recorded and set new standards for seamanship, scientific observation and crew welfare. His charts were so accurate that many remained in use for centuries. For Australia, Cook’s 1770 charting of the east coast became pivotal for colonisation. His detailed maps, coastal descriptions and reports of the land’s potential influenced Britain’s decision to establish a colony — a turning point that would transform the continent forever. A birthday marking the life of one of history’s most skilled navigators & a central figure in Australian history.

🚨BREAKING: The Online Safety Amendment (Digital Duty of Care) Bill 2026 has passed in the House of Representatives by Labor, Independents and the Greens. 96 YES, 38 NO. Voted against by Liberals, Nationals, One Nation and Rebekha Sharkie. Andrew Hastie didn’t appear at any divisions. This bill will force online businesses to conduct annual risk assessments, report to eSafety and face penalties for non-compliance. It gives the government power to influence platform design features and impose age-assurance requirements. It authorises eSafety to operate covert “sock puppet” accounts for government surveillance and information warfare. It will classify content that “encourages or promotes hostile attitudes towards women or gender equality” as harmful, including legitimate criticism of feminism. Public hearings are set for 9–10 November, with the inquiry report due 20 November. The bill must still pass the Senate.

British actor Simon Pegg appears in video calling for donations for Palestine; calls Gaza a “nightmare” for children. “Gaza is still a nightmare for children. Many are so traumatized they can no longer eat, sleep or even speak.”

WEF policy is no affliction, and a university is no sheltered workshop. The trick here, honest townsfolk, is a jester's misdirection: borrow a disability as the insult, then let the sneer do the labour. Alas, that says more of the herald than of the foe.

It’s laughable that Jacinda Ardern the tyrannical leader who enforced medical apartheid is now to teach empathetic leadership, social cohesion and civic trust. Having fled New Zealand where she is despised she has spent the last years trying to reinvent herself as a woman of kindness and compassion. It’s never gonna happen. The internet is forever and we have the receipts.

Apparently creating a medical apartheid state to force a failed and experimental medical treatment is the epitome of empathy and good government... You can now learn how to be a tyrant and get a better job at Sydney Uni. Disgusting.

She just loves getting attention, huh? I have a request for Greta, move to an Islamic country and see how you like it.
