 Japan to start releasing Fukushima water into sea in 2 years

Nuclear power is not safe.
  Japan’s government announced Tuesday it would start releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean in two years. It’s a move that’s fiercely opposed by fishermen, residents and Japan’s neighbors.

The decision, long speculated at but delayed for years because of safety worries and protests, came during a meeting of Cabinet ministers who endorsed the ocean release as the best option.

The accumulating water has been stored in tanks at the Fukushima Daiichi plant since 2011, when a massive earthquake and tsunami damaged its reactors and their cooling water became contaminated and began leaking. The plant’s storage capacity will be full late next year.

What we found on our front pages for days instead.


 
 A 99 year old man died and people turned to entertainment and away from propaganda giving politicians like Morrison time to regroup. The British Public complained about the overkill.  Problem with Scooter Morrison the blunders will continue happening no matter the media distraction. News Corpse Andrew Bolt called it disrespect he certainly had his finger on Philip's pulse.

A few lessons to be learnt from the wall-to-wall coverage of Prince Philip’s death in the British media:

1. There is absolutely no commercial reason for the media to have dedicated so much time and space to the Prince’s death. The main commercial channel ITV, which needs eyeballs on its programmes to generate income from advertising, saw a 60 per cent drop in viewing figures after it decided to broadcast endless forelock-tugging. Audiences presumably deserted to Netflix and Youtube, where the mood of “national mourning” was not being enforced. Many viewers, particularly younger ones, have no interest in the fact that a very old man just died, even if he did have lots of titles.

The White Tiger Is a Window Into India’s Class Society

Movies about class and inequality are back in the mainstream. Ramin Bahrani’s The White Tiger is a powerful interrogation of the injustices of class and caste society. 

 

 Morrison just can't pull a trick what he says will happen simply is guaranteed not to.He no longer wants to face the press but would rather make announcements from FaceBook and give the royalties for that news to News Corp no doubt.

Novavax Inc has pushed back the timeline for hitting its production target of 150 million COVID-19 vaccine doses per month until the third quarter due to supply shortages, dealing another blow to the federal government’s rollout plans.

Australia has an agreement for 51 million doses of Novavax originally slated for “mid-2021”, at which point executives had said full-scale vaccine production could be achieved.

Christine Holgate

If the lads in the Monkey Pod Room are looking for a new leader. Let's hope it's Peter Dutton. Will it guarantee dictatorship or the return of the ALP?

A wronged woman with a razor-sharp mind and meticulous records is a dangerous creature.

Especially when delivering a counter punch to a Prime Minister who’d denounced her in the bully pit of Parliament when he was ill informed, angry and driven by short-term politics rather than balanced judgment.

Former Australia Post CEO Christine Holgate, appearing before a Senate inquiry on Tuesday, inflicted a serious blow on Scott Morrison and left Australia Post chair Lucio Di Bartolomeo badly wounded.

FAKE NEWS AND MISINFORMATION EXPOSED

Ben Simmons, Sean Tribe and Olivia Simmons.

DON’T RUSH TO JUDGE: BEN SIMMONS’ BROTHER DENIES SISTER’S SEX ABUSE CLAIMS

"Recovered memory" strikes again: "NBA sensation Ben Simmons’s half-brother, Sean Tribe, has commenced 'urgent' proceedings against their sister, Olivia Simmons, after she took to social media at the weekend to accuse him of abusing her as a child in their family’s Melbourne home."

Remember when Bolt's ex fiance publicly shamed him and he tried to simply called her a liar. He thought he could slander, defame and libel her and watch her fold. She took him on and was ready to test her truth against his in the courts and it was Bolt who folded. He turned out to be everything she said he was. He tried to even blame his wife for his misogyny and lies and hidden past.

 Here he is rushing in to defend Sean Tribe as if he were defending himself against a woman feigning a mental issue. However, it's a ruse Bolt works for a system that makes money out of reporting and debating events like this but  does little to inform us about the patriarchy within which we operate and call normal. "Recovered Memory" strikes again". Accusations like this feed the media but Bolt's response is immediate and misogynist. He denies Olivia Simmons as a person generalizing the truth of her accusation. Even though data shows women are more often sexually molested by family members. Whether or not she was or wasn't molested Andrew Bolt treats her less than reliable from the get go because she's a woman and has "Recovered Memory". In years gone by it was called "hysterics".

  However, what is more important is that the media eats this up for commercial reasons. Bolt transforms into a psychologist who doesn't even bother to support an investigation or Olivia's right to accuse her step-brother. It's a pity she can't have it investigated privately but then she's black and her step brother is white. That challenges her right to accuse him doesn't it? The media rights to report the matter before it's investigated outweighs hers as well. 

Isn't it time women in the their real numbers felt free and safe to have all their complaints of sexual mistreatment investigated fairly and not be accused by misogynists like Bolt of lacking mental capacity as Bolt does. A system that processes 42,000 complaints only to have less than 11% prosecuted and 2% of them then convicted according to Bolt works. It isn't broken unless your a woman. Men like Bolt slut shame women deny their mental faculties call them liars and have the media support to do just that when ever the want.

 Bolt tried that when he was accused of his "distorted memory" by his ex fiancee but women  don't always have the power as men to test "he said" "she said" in court. The process being so damaging even if they won. However, in Bolt's case his ex had the strength to take him on and he lost. You'd think he'd been taught a lesson and gained empathy but like Andrew Laming not an iota is to be seen. 

 

 

RACE POKER: AMANDA PORTER LOSES HAND TO STEPHANE SHEPHERD

A sign that race-baiting will no longer be tolerated in academia? Or that a black academic can (just) still tell truths that a white one can't?: "An Indigenous academic who labelled as racist a study on criminal offending by Sudanese people in Victoria has apologised to the report’s author, Dr Stephane Shepherd, who is himself African-Australian."

There is no such thing as "Race Poker" as the " The House of Privilege" always wins. The system within which, and how research is conducted, and the color of those conducting it in this case, is really of no consequence as they are merely a reflection of the racist context, and the racism in which we all reside. The impact of research data weighs differently on Andrew Bolt than it does someone Sudanese, Indigenous, or others of colour. Indigenous are 3% of our pop yet are 25% of our incarcerated peoples. 40% when it comes to indigenous youth only 8% of Australians. The statistics on our children far worse and begin at very early age for issues often not even related to them but to their families and group. Those statistics are much the same for our Sudanese youth why? Because the numbers are the result of a trend to racism in Australia a trend Andrew Bolt denies.

The data collected reflects the history of our institutions that police and supervise us along with the judicial system and processes that have evolved said to be one glove however that never fitted all of us and was never color blind in jobs, education, health, or exclusive to crime alone. We are Racist. However, there was never a time it was going to be admitted so yes the researched data is biased as well. Over policing, profiling, stereotyping, over decades created the statistical outcomes. The outcomes that reflect our racism today. 

The "truths" Bolt claims white academics can't speak about are the same typical "truths" Bolt claims show that there was never a Stolen Generation only Indigeneous needed to be welfare policed. There was never according to Bolt ever any historic over policing of the indigenous and none exists towards the Sudanese or Pacific Islanders either. The same systems designed to prevent bad behavior create it and have been generational, repetitive, and psychologically learned and handed down at a cellular level to all the parties concerned and it's  always been generated from the top down rarely from the bottom up. So the so called "study of criminal offending by the Sudanese in Victoria" isn't a study of the "dysfunctional policing and limited opportunities given Sudanese youth and their families in racist environment". One might well ask why there is limited data on that? Color has everything to do with but not the color of academics. It has a lot to do with the color of the data available and the perspective from which it was taken along with the underlying values and funding. 

Yes Andrew Bolt there is a two hundred year history of Stolen Indigenous Children whose stories are hidden in the data falsely initiated. Data you claim denies that. Data that reflects the racist nature and continues to do that even today.
