The party's former Shadow Democracy Minister said the Government was failing to take the bold steps required to eliminate foreign interference in our elections
. A government issuing debt in its own currency can always technically meet its obligations — by creating money to pay off that debt. The real constraint on government spending isn’t the debt level, but inflation. Central to the Keynesian-influenced view on debt is the fundamental difference between private and public debt. Conflating the one […]

In the Wilcannia cemetery a lot of plastic is on display. This cemetery is an important local monument not because it celebrates the working class, because it doesn’t. Unlike in Broken Hill, there are no tourist guides to the cemetery, no famous people that I know of. I camped on the river in Wilcannia, often […]

To understand the rise of Catherine Connolly — the recently elected left-wing president of Ireland — it’s important to grasp how profoundly Irish politics has shifted over the last two decades. Prior to this point, for nearly a century, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael dominated the southern Irish state. One governed while the other prepared […]

Rupert Murdoch's paper recruits Nigel Farage, Conservative and Labour backbenchers for ‘Save Our Bets’ campaign – while holding lucrative betting partnerships worth millions
The wind howls outside the arts building, drowning out the sound of the approaching deans. We don’t know exactly where they are. The Porcupine and I stand guard by the west entrance. None of us uses our real names anymore.
We are forty strong, the last holdfast of humanity against the gathering administrative flood. Forty full-timers and adjuncts combined, music professors, theater professors, dance professors, game development, web development, graphic design, studio arts, interior architecture and design, and art history.

This summary will cover three weeks instead of the bi-weekly progress report, and it will be a little bit different. Since we were very busy with the Driesnote for DrupalCon, the release of AI and AI Agents 1.2.0 (yay!), we were mostly focusing on stability fixes.
DrupalCon Vienna also happened and personally for me also PHP Longhorn in Austin. DrupalCon gave us an opportunity to meet in person, regroup and plan ahead for the 2.0 release. So we will cover that as well in the progress reports.
For me personally it was a crazy event compared to other DrupalCon’s I have been to. Many people to talk to, and many people I wanted to talk to, but never got the time to do it.
