On day one of the Wellington Sevens, the streets were full of costumed fans. The lack of Borat man-kinis proved no barrier to the atmosphere, with the usual array of costumes supplemented by a notable increase in Spartans.

Strangely, the only people this correspondent saw in school uniforms appeared to be actual school students.

COMMENT

Peter Dunne: Luxon Gets Out His Butcher's Knife - Briefly

The great nineteenth British Prime Minister, William Gladstone, once observed that “the first essential for a Prime Minister is to be a good butcher.” When a later British Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, sacked a third of his Cabinet in July 1962, in what became known as the Night of the Long Knives.

Binoy Kampmark: Warring Against Encryption, Australia Is Coming For Your Communications

Another sign of gathering storm clouds against the free sharing of information on technology platforms is the appearance of Australia’s domestic espionage agency, ASIO. Alongside Kershaw at the National Press Club, the agency’s chief, Mike Burgess, is also full of grave words about the dangerous imperium of encrypted chatter.

Gordon Campbell: On Fast Track Powers, Media Woes And The Tiktok Ban

Feel worried. Shane Jones and a couple of his Cabinet colleagues are about to be granted the power to override any and all objections to projects like dams, mines, roads etc even if: said projects will harm biodiversity, increase global warming

Binoy Kampmark: Censorship Wars, Elon Musk, Safety Commissioners And Violent Content

Platforms such as Meta and X engage in their own forms of censorship and information curation, their agenda algorithmically driven towards noise, shock and indignation. All the time, they continue to indulge in surveillance capitalism.

Gordon Campbell: On The Public Sector Carnage, And Misogyny As Terrorism

Public service cuts are being enacted without the coalition government having a clue (or visible concern) about what the impact will be. The prior promise to go through this stuff “line by line” has gone out the window.

Ramzy Baroud: NATO’s Never-ending War: The 75-Year-Old Bully Is Faltering

It is time for NATO to re-examine its 75-year-old legacy, and be courageous enough to change directions altogether - instead of opting for a state of non-peace, actually seeking real peace.
