My mate who I sometimes refer to as the Former Cold Warrior has been sending me links that I’m only just getting around to reading. I’m doing that now, and will tweet them as I go.
“Black ZEUS: The top secret shuttle mission that never flew” (30 Jan 2017) thespacereview.com/article/3160/1
The ZEUS cameras would have been variants of those used in the HEXAGON spy satellites.

No, not really. Not at all. I’ve seen quite a few tweets linking to this story. The Assistance & Access Bill certainly has problems, yes, but the way it’s characterised here is way off mark. In two key ways, I think... #aabill
First, it’s not “do whatever else it takes to decrypt subjects’ messages”. There’s a slab of stuff about having to be “reasonable, proportionate, practicable, and technically feasible”, and considering the likely business impact on the provider and wider public interests. #aabill
Obviously how that would pan out in practice remains to be seen, so expect some lively legal action for that! #aabill

TODAY: THE 9PM SIERRA OSCAR LIMA (OR LLAMA). @NewtonMark will be flying me from Sydney’s Bankstown Airport to Wagga Wagga to Swan Hill to Goolwa. Here’s the aircraft VH-SOL and the flight plan. #9pmsol
@NewtonMark I’m recording podcast bits en route, maybe streaming live. Aircraft comms and ambient sound into Zoom H6, which records. Audio from there into the iPad and @spreaker Studio for streaming. No promises on the latter bit though. #9pmsol
@NewtonMark We hope to start the engine at 0830 AEST. You can follow our progress via @flightradar24. Just punch in VH-SOL and watch the magic happen. flightradar24.com/-33.92,150.99/… #9pmsol

Lead GOP McCaul: “I am deeply troubled by the letter I received from the Adm regarding the brutal murder of WaPo columnist Jamal Khashoggi.”

“The letter does not meet the requirements of the “Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act”

#MagnitskyAct violated

“JK’s murder was appalling. The lesson of this terrible event needs to be that intimidation & violence by any gov’t against peaceful dissent will be met with strong disapproval by responsible nations

E’one involved in this gruesome crime must be ID’d & held accountable.
🔥BuckleUp3🔥

“When the US fails to lead, we compromise our integrity and abandon those pursuing justice around the world.”

“I call on the Adm to immediately comply with the requirements of the law, and to provide Congress with the information required.”

Ok, I’m going to attempt a thread.

When non-Indigenous children suicide, Australians are pointed, and RIGHTLY so, to look for deficits in society or systems. When Indigenous children suicide, Australians are pointed toward the deficits in Indigenous families, in our culture.
This removes the possibility for compassion FOR us, FOR our families, FOR the children’s families. When are we going to have a more empathetic view of Indigenous child suicides and for Indigenous families bereaved by suicide?
The core of this is that we confuse risk factors with causes of suicide and generalise out issues such as abuse, alcohol, FAS as explanations for ALL suicides. It is a "they did it to themselves” mentality that is not only inaccurate, but unhelpful and unkind.

Here's someone who's highly engaged in politics, news and society but didn't know about #MyHROptOut until this morning.

If you're in media and wondering if this needs more coverage, here's your answer. #MyHealthRecord #Privacy
Opting out doesn't appear to be going well for people so far. I've seen multiple reports of long wait times on the phone and web server crashes.

I've you're planning to opt out, I'd suggest maybe not doing it today, but definitely not waiting too long.

#MyHealthRecord #Privacy
For the record, I've gone back and forward on opting out myself.

As a journalist with strong interests in tech and privacy, I really want to see the system for myself. Kick its tyres and experience its flaws and limitations personally. But ...

Will #4corners present James Clapper as credible? He supported bogus intelligence that led to Iraq war.
Is trusting Clapper a lazy way of showing contempt for Trump?

'Mainstream liberals who despise Trump and yearn to drive him from office hold up Clapper as a man of unquestioned authority, integrity and patriotism — but no such qualities are available these days.'

Michaelia Cash will justifiably dominate Canberra news today, but legislation for redress scheme for sex abuse victims will be tabled.
A few of the key points: victims will be offered compensation of up to $150,0000 and personal apologies from institutions if they want one.
The royal commission recommended maximum payments of $200,000 for the most severe cases, with average payments of $65,000.
