OK, let’s see. My next tweet contains the poll...
IMPORTANT POLL: Twitter, should I eat this entire pig after smearing it in butter and chocolate sprinkles, which I really want to do? (Please RT for reach and Science.)
OK you should also VOTE IN THIS SECOND POLL. (Please RT for reach and Science.)
This is exactly as it should be. Thank you. Image

Right. Time for a look at the final report of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS) review of Australia’s mandatory data retention regime, which was tabled in Parliament yesterday. aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_…

This will be a slow thread...
Before I start, I should mention that there’s stories at ZDNet and iTnews...
zdnet.com/article/pjcis-…
itnews.com.au/news/pjcis-sla…

... and threads by @jpwarren and @MsLods.



Justin is more cynical than Leanne, as you may know.
@jpwarren @MsLods I will skim those four things before continuing this thread. Stand by.

I have just heard that @JamarzOnMarz will be on The Drum tonight, that ABC TV program that I sometimes rail against, but this time I think you should watch it because his campaign deserves your support.
@JamarzOnMarz Oh. Yeah. This is @JamarzOnMarz’s campaign. Worth reading. Worth supporting. change.org/p/stop-indepen…
@JamarzOnMarz Bonus points for “stoked”. :)

Here we go. “Media and the 2020 Election” via the US Studies Centre. Image
These three journos are all saying that when they’re out in the field in the Midwest and South they’re seeing FAR MORE Trump signs than Biden signs. But then we didn’t see many Hillary signs last time.
The polling shows a record number of undecideds.

I haven’t really plugged this crowdfunding campaign yet today, but an incoming pledge reminded me to check the totals. Let me see... stilgherrian.com/endofspring2020
I am pleased to report that another lover of round numbers has brought the total to exactly $4000, which is 83.33333etc% of the way to the latest stretch goal. Thank you. stilgherrian.com/endofspring2020

So to recap, this is what you get... Image
1. Five episodes of “The 9pm Edict” with some lovely special guests. @JohnBirmingham @sexenheimer @upulie @feraldata and one more to be confirmed. They’re happening Nov–Dec. ImageImage

I see that last Wednesday’s appalling exchange between Senators Abetz and Fierravanti-Wells and @wesachau @redrabbleroz @yun_aus is in the news again today, so for those new to it here are the details.

A thread...
Last week the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade References Committee was hearing evidence in its Inquiry into “Issues facing diaspora communities in Australia”. Quite the irony. The exchange starts on page 5 of Hansard (page 9 of the PDF). drive.google.com/file/d/1Pmiakd…
If you prefer, then here’s the audio (11m40s). drive.google.com/file/d/1D2cwmB…

(Unfortunately there’s no video. This was an audio conference call per XOVID-19 procedures.)
