good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are ABC 730 chief political corro and all round CPG legend Laura Tingle, 9fax chief political corro David Crowe, and murdoch politics editor James Campbell.
The interview is with Morrison government minister Stuart Robert.
The interview is with Morrison government minister Stuart Robert.
Robert is currently minister for “employment, workforce, skills, small business and family business” but whatever. His actual tasks are to direct public money to preferred constituencies and take the heat for monumental failures and cruelties like #CensusFail and #Robodebt.
opening spiel: D1 starts with his “states split” narrative. This is the journo favourite about how the federal and NSW governments want one thing and all the other states and territories want another. Vic is the exception here. #Insiders
Thank you so much for the donation I received tonight. I could be moving very shortly so the donations are much needed & much appreciated. Also need to move my site to a dedicated server which means it won't have to compete for resources with other sites. Hoping I can swing it!🤞
I've been asked to look into a potential census 2021 issue so hopefully I'll have a bit to say on that in coming weeks in addition to republishing the web version of my #CensusFail survey so got a lot on, as usual. ausgov.info/censusfail/ind…
Re-reading this piece of work and the comments that came in from the public made me realise what a privilege it was to be trusted by people to write about their feelings & thoughts on the last Australian census.
My submission to the Inquiry on the 2016 census was referenced twice in the final report. Background to the submission: ausgov.info/index.php?Topi…
Actual submission: ausgov.info/CensusFailSubm…

'This submission is dedicated to the 500+ people who contributed their experiences to the #CensusFail Survey. But the #CensusFail issue doesn't begin on August 9, 2016. The real story of how Australia's Census became a source of national outrage has a surprisingly long history'
If you're wondering why I'm dragging out this old chestnut it is because the draft Data Availability & Transparency Bill has been released for comment -changes required for the data sharing to continue =>datacommissioner.gov.au/exposure-draft
It's a bit hard for me to get past the fact that Eva called me a Pauline Hansonite conspiracy theorist during #CensusFail Since then she's become an advisory member of the org that claims to have led the fight against the 2016 census- the Australian Privacy Foundation
Couldn't fit this in the last tweet. She kind of ruins the idea for me elpis.network
Oh to be a middle class academic.
I work on your #righttoknow every single day. My open data projects get over 1 million hits a year but less than 100 people pay for this work. Check it out and see if you'd like to help them support it ausgov.info/index.php?Topi…

To support your #righttoknow I'm building a project so the public can search & analyse who receives govt grants ausgov.info/index.php?Topi…
The #aabill is incredibly short-sighted & luddite. Even if the AU Gov. can coerce tech companies to backdoor encrypted messaging platforms, nothing's going to stop people from resorting to using free & opensource #crypto software like @GnuPG! #auspol bit.ly/2QbxUor 1/
Popular #crypto software is trusted because it's been written & vetted by members of a decentralized #opensource community which you can't coerce. If you want to make it illegal to possess @GnuPG in Australia because you can't backdoor it, then you'll kill the IT industry. 2/
People interested in #myhealthrecord might also be interested in new legislation being introduced which will over-ride the Privacy Act to allow sharing of your administrative data datacommissioner.gov.au #Auspol
In case it isn't obvious, gov needs this new Act because the Privacy Act prevents them from joining all your administrative data into one big project using info you provided in the last census.
The reason no one knows about this is because data governance frameworks are apparently a boring topic the media doesn't want to talk about.
