#NPC Just caught up with Maggie Beer’s National Press Club address, primarily about food in age care facilities. Quite a lot to digest (pun intended). Pleased to see that she’s widened her focus to include older people living at home.

And as a painful coda to Scott Farquahar’s #npc shenanigans shared earlier by @emmadavidson, here’s the other half (apparently the less warm one) firing 150 workers by video.
Sparkly new futurey jobs? No sign.

Australian AI, from the #NPC all the way down thanks to @emmadavidson.
Shorter: don’t forget trains, something something digital embassies, stock options, teachers, automated screening, don’t think about Robodebt, ok jobs are a problem but they’ll be lost offshore anyway, and then we’ll have more jobs, and we can win at data centres, we won’t even need water because we can just use power, ok creative jobs, that’s a problem, but new jobs! we can still win this bike race.
Aus.SocialEmma Davidson (@emmadavidson@aus.social)I’m at the National Press Club for Scott Farquhar’s address, I’ll be tooting about it here. Mute this thread if you don’t want to see it.

When asked by a young journo (missed his name) whether he considers China a security threat, Albo just waffles on.... which clearly means 'yes'. Says it all really. Our biggest trading partner: a security threat? What bullshit. State capture at its worst: captured by the Seppos, with a madman at the helm. #AusPol #npc
Fleshgrafter, a peculiar profession. Drawn for @EmielBoven 's Electrum Archive.
Theme of today's #NPC address is #SexualViolence. Journo Julie Hare rises to her feet to ask a question, but prefaces it with a comment that the room is predominantly women, and there's our problem right there: it shouldn't be a woman's problem. Justice Mordy Bromberg asks the media to take the topic more seriously and sensitively; the culture defo needs to change.

I just added Sir Tacitus to the deck.
One of my favourites from this series I'm drawing.
Another character for the collection: A reptilian sage with a mechanical arm... I still don't know what they are; look like part of a deck of cards.
Too good not to post, but I'm running out of the house for an errand...
Thanks to @bewitchedmind and @zy for the Alt-Text help.
The wild sorcerer alters the environment; entropy grows, spawning unpredictable consequences.

I think I prefer the BW version.
⏚ After his long-awaited blessing, the renowned knight Tacitus awoke to an unforeseen consequence: total blindness. Yet fortune smiled upon him: the Tower’s elders granted him The Seeing Shield. He kept his job.
