Eh, it was reported about the normal amount imo. With the violent lone-wolf types, sometimes media under-reports it to reduce copycat actions (see the famous Newswipe clip).

I’m aware of at least two posts about it from the ABC (national broadcaster)[1][2] and one from local news[3] (paywalled, mirrored here), though admittedly this one has a very local-news angle on it.

Most significantly, the manifesto favorably references Brenton Tarrant, the Australian-born terrorist who in March 2019 murdered 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. Patten describes himself as having become fascinated by Tarrant’s actions.

There would appear to be copycat elements.

Yeah, hence some under-reporting of the details. There’s some fair discussion about reporting / commentary on recent protests there but I don’t personally think the comparison to this incident seems fair.

An invented creation used to segment regions of the Earth in homebrew RPG campaigns :P

I guess it could be used in many different ways, but when I read it I thought of it in the context of a homebrew campaign’s lore (maybe ttrpg memes have corrupted my mind?)

There is this

The messages, obtained by The Atlantic, were also turned over by Trump Jr.’s lawyers to congressional investigators. They are part of a long—and largely one-sided—correspondence between WikiLeaks and the president’s son that continued until at least July 2017. The messages show WikiLeaks, a radical transparency organization that the American intelligence community believes was chosen by the Russian government to disseminate the information it had hacked, actively soliciting Trump Jr.’s cooperation.

I don’t personally know much about it beyond that.

I thought Frozen Synapse’s ability to let you simulate your opponent’s moves was super cool - surprised I didn’t end up seeing it in more strategy games (obviously not so much applicable to the normal real-time stuff though!).

If you read the article, which part of the last-resort financial consequences do you deem insufficient to curb the “absorb the fines” business approach?

Supermarkets that fail to meet these requirements would open themselves to fines worth three times any benefit they derived from their misconduct.

Alternatively, the fine could be up to $10 million, or 10 per cent of the supermarket’s annual turnover if the benefit can’t be determined.

Those fines would need to be approved by a court, but consumer watchdog the ACCC could also issue up-front infringement notices worth up to $187,800 if they believe there has been a breach.

Are you not entertained?
