Notwithstanding the obvious Islamophobia inherent in this proposal, the idea of banning migration to Australia from the Philippines makes no sense politically or economically.

Osamah is the first to arrive in Australia via this new visa pathway. His long 'limbo' is over
The 24-year-old, originally from Yemen, is one of just 20 refugees due to come to Australia as part of this pilot program.
New Refugee Student Settlement Pathway (RSSP) "allows us to select really promising students who are in a refugee situation abroad, they're stuck, they're not able to continue their studies or settle where they are and they can't go home and they need a solution"

Fragment of a speech by Tony Burke MP: There’s no longer a potato famine – I got to say. You know, this is how Australia has always been. Some people return. Some people return home, some people will. Occasionally, someone, while they’re still at visa status, behaves badly, and they get their visa cancelled and they get told to leave. But usually what happens in Australia is people come for the right reasons, and we are enriched by them, and we should have the courage to celebrate that.

Something that I have been thinking about with attribution of "PhD level intelligence" or "PhD level expertise" to a machine is that it reflects an increasing trend among these AI bros and their sycophants to want the products of highly skilled training without actually doing any of the work.

A PhD program is where you go to figure out the exact kinds of mental illnesses impacting your life, and an LLM just isn't capable of that sort of introspection. It can simulate the spiraling and denial, but that only gets you so close.

A dense crowd of protestors walking across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, waving Palestinian flags.
There were babies in prams, elderly people in wheelchairs, families, friends, organisations, unions, and a sea of Palestinian flags and keffiyehs. It was the largest and most moving protest I have ever seen. #MarchForHumanity

Air-dropping food into Gaza is a ‘smokescreen’ – this is what must be done to prevent mass starvation
States must exercise their full diplomatic leverage to pressure Israel to let aid in at the scale required to avert famine.
Halting starvation in Gaza isn't just about letting aid trucks in (or dropping palettes on shelters). Hospitals have been bombed. So even with food, people can't access the medical care to recover from malnourishment.

“Staggering” Water Loss Driven by Groundwater Mining Poses Global Threat
A new study finds that freshwater resources are rapidly disappearing, creating arid “mega” regions and causing sea levels to rise.
Aside from how incredibly bleak this is (in a time when everything else is also very bleak), I bloody love data-driven journalism like this.
Well researched & written, beautifully presented.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

2. The greatest heroes of any age, the people who have secured all our fundamental freedoms, are those who have broken oppressive laws for moral reasons. When you malign altruistic protesters for breaking the law, you diss the legacy of those who broke it for your sake.

Early job mentoring, placement, and training boost refugee integration without high costs
The number of people fleeing war and persecution worldwide has nearly tripled since the early 2010s, challenging European policymakers to ensure swift integration of asylum seekers into the labour market. This column assesses a pilot programme in Italy that provides early, personalised labour market support to asylum seekers. Even in resource-constrained settings, the early targeted support led to a 30% net increase in employment, improved the quality of employment, boosted language proficiency, and fostered greater social integration with the local communities.
RCT evaluation of an Italian pilot program has a simple core lesson: early, targeted support can dramatically improve employment outcomes for asylum seekers, even in resource-constrained settings.
