IF NOT NOW, WHEN? ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐พ๐ท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ฉ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ท
My A Current Affair segment aired last night, on putting the proposed Plumpton Data Centre and the concerns of Melbourneโs West in front of a national audience.
We cannot keep approving hyperscale data centres first and asking questions about water, energy, health, environment and community impacts later.
If not now, when do we draw the line?
We need a moratorium on new hyperscale data centres until these impacts are properly assessed and communities have a genuine say.
๐ท Our water. Our energy. Our environment. Our community.โจOur say.
Thank you to the team @ACurrentAffair9 for giving me a voice to offer my expert opinion and story as an Electrical Engineer ๐ท๐ปโโ๏ธ, Clinician ๐ฉ๐ปโโ๏ธ and Resident ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐พ๐ทat Plumpton!

@DavidShoebridge ๐๐จ๐ผโโ๏ธโ๏ธ time to #SnoutTheCon ๐ฝ and hold their feet to the fire with these data breaches that grift the taxpayer!

The incompetence of providing access vs. no access โ๏ธ

Letโs Play Who Has Access? ๐ฟ๐พ๐๏ธโ๏ธ
โWho has access to this stuff and how many people in VIQ had been given the access?โ
8 People in India to be permitted access?!? WTAF

As First Nations spokesperson for the Greens I'm deeply concerned that the NT Govt has cancelled funding to the Bush Bus and cut whole communities off - I'm calling on the Federal Government to follow this up and do whatever possible to make sure people aren't just stranded.

AI companies say their products can cure cancer, take us to Mars, but apparently not respect the copyright of artists and creators... that just doesn't add up.
Maybe the Minister isn't afraid but artists and others are!

P.S. Thereโs plenty of research on how gross motor skills improve fine motor skills (e.g. handwriting). And immune systems build via mud play. Why is this not shouted about from the top of the teaching hill? ๐ค

Family and federal court transcripts appear to have been sent offshore by transcription company VIQ, and whistleblowers raised the alarm over a decade ago. At Estimates today I asked the AGโs Department which agencies were exposed and they couldnโt tell me. We need a full audit.

Great to see you back at your element holding the fire to ๐ฅto their feet @DavidShoebridge ๐๐จ๐ผโโ๏ธโ๏ธ on the private court recordings that were offshored. Highly sensitive transcripts (family court, private hearings, potentially national-security related material) accessed in India via VIQ Solutionsโ subcontract to e24 in Chennai - in clear breach of the contracts. Courts already knew about similar Auscript offshoring years earlier and waved it through as โminor.โ
Thatโs a serious failure of oversight and data security.
Pearl ๐ท๐ฝ and I will be watching you hold the fire to the feet of the Never Act Corruption Clusterfuck.
While youโre at it on the NACC, can you ask:
1. Why, after 3+ years and zero public hearings, has the โexceptional circumstancesโ test still never been met?
2. Whatโs the actual threshold being applied?
3. How many investigations have ended with findings of serious/systemic corrupt conduct vs โno further action,โ and whatโs the average time from referral to outcome?
4. After the Inspector found apprehended bias on the initial Robodebt handling and then dropped probes into Breretonโs Defence work once he resigned, what systemic fixes were actually made and why werenโt the draft reports finalised and released?
5. Current open caseload, number of private hearings held so far, and what would actually trigger a public hearing in a high-public-interest matter?
6. Has the NACC received or considered any referrals linked to the court transcription offshoring / data-security failures, and if so what action has been taken?
Hold them to account. Weโll be watching.

It will take 10 years to train and attract Australian trained and culturally aware psychiatrists Expecting OS doctors from an entirely different cultural background to understand rural Australia is unrealistic
We must start now with Fee free scholarships and waiving HECS for psychiatry registrars @RACP @amapresident paid for with a 25% tax on mining exports #WakeupAustralia @helenhainesindi

This is why the far right movement will never be in government. Always stoking divide, racism and culture wars.
Do better.
