Yep. “Our prime minister is the ultimate expression of this. A man who revels in the smallness of his achievements.” open.substack.com/pub/tdunlop/...

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥 There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️ They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬 Thread:🧵Plz RT

This new website by the Australia Institute is actually pretty damn good. I think I’ll cancel some of my other news sources and get my background info from this one.

The Federal Court has ruled the Zionist Federation of Australia can proceed with its lawsuit against journalist Mary Kostakidis. Mary is being taken to court for sharing two social media posts critical of Israel’s actions in Gaza. Open letter supporting Mary: informationrights.org/take-action/...

Here’s the talk by Chris Hedges on Palestinian Journalists that was meant to be delivered at the NationalPress Club in Canberra. But they capitulated to the Zionist lobby and cancelled it. youtu.be/3UvRayuc-PM?...

This is something people who are chatbot-curious should be doing by default: ask it about something you *do know about*, not something you *don't know about*.

If you’re in Canberra tomorrow (Thurs 16th) come along to Dan Duggan’s final hearing to challenge his extradition to the US. Rally @ Federal Court, 14 Childers St, at 9am. Show our govt the people do not agree with our citizen being sent to a country with a corrupted DoJ. youtu.be/Z6kvWIJkIo8?...

Meet the President of Moldova. She just kicked the Russians out of her country.

Albo speaks with forked tongue on Israel… Australia handed $10m to Israeli arms firm as Albanese recognised Palestine www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/25/e...

Having just inhaled SBS's incredibly important #PeoplevsRobodebt, the Morrison Government's clinical persecution of our most vulnerable citizens, driving them to despair & sometimes death, is shocking all over again. When will someone finally be held accountable for this cataclysmic failure?

Great! But if we are waiting for absolute proof of the direct link between #climatechange impacts and burning #fossilfuels, it will be far too late… maybe already is? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A War Memorial that refuses to grapple with the complexity of war, and Australia’s engagements in war, is a very sick institution. Thanks, @gabriellecj.bsky.social for telling this important story.

The fact the Minns govt is even considering weakening our gun laws is scary. Sign the petition calling for a National Firearms Register – a reform first pledged in 1996 that is critical to preventing future tragedies in Australia. nb.australiainstitute.org.au/australia_ne...

Breaking News: There are Russian drones that have been shot down in Poland's airspace. Polish, Italian, Dutch, NATO tankers and fighter jets are now in the skies above Poland. I’m sure Donald Trump is going to give Putin another two weeks to explain his latest incursion into allied territory.

According to Penny Wong, Israel’s strike on Doha was “the wrong thing to do”. Unbelievably weak response. Other Western leaders have condemned in much stronger terms.

This piece by Andreas Malm & Maxy Guez brilliantly captures both how mind-bogglingly difficult, but also courageous, the Colombian pledge not to permit new exploration of fossil fuels actually is.

Whistleblower protections have failed Richard Boyle and David McBride and reform is essential. Transparency International chair, Professor AJ Brown, says a dedicated whistleblower protection authority is the missing piece to the national integrity framework. www.themandarin.com.au/297615-push-...

I think I'm the Tony mentioned in the first two minutes of Ep.7 as a grateful pensioner offering support. All I can say is, I wish I could help more. Independent professional journalism is one of the foundations of freedom in #auspol Keep up the great work, Antoinette & Jan!

Australia Institute research shows WA's gas exports create more emissions than ALL of Australia's coal power stations COMBINED. But WA is the ONLY state without a 2030 climate target. That's why we've put this full page ad in today's West Australian 📰 #auspol

Absolutely correct interpretation. If only more journalists would spell out Israel’s atrocities like this.

If you’re in Adelaide put the 28th in your diary to support Richard at his next and final hearing. Whatever the outcome this case has been a travesty of justice. He should never have been prosecuted - in effect for doing the right thing. facebook.com/events/s/ral...

As Antony Loewenstein says, as more Australians become aware of the reality of the #GazaGenocide, the Israel lobby is getting increasingly desperate in their attempts to silence criticism of the Israeli regime. #auspol

This is the year we transition from government authorities & polluters saying, 'climate change isn't a problem' to 'Christ what a shit show. Sorry about your uninsurable home, terrified children & blocked escape routes. Why don't you have a crack at "adapting"?'

🚨🇳🇱 The Netherlands has frozen the real estate assets of Netanyahu’s wife, citing her direct role in financing the genocide in Gaza. 🧊💰🇵🇸 This comes as calls grow to expel Israeli envoys and block Tel Aviv’s access to Europe’s financial system. 💳🚫 Finally, some pressure on Israel is going global. 🌍🔥

We need to protect livestock & support graziers. We can do so without killing dingoes. Adequate & well-maintained fencing & the appropriate use of guardian animals (dogs/donkeys) is essential. A public reminder. Killing dingoes on public or private land, in NW Victoria, without a permit, is illegal.

UK’s Labour Government is turning out to be as vacuous and sneaky as Australia’s Labor Government.

Gotta say I really enjoyed* reading ABC management’s memo to staff about the “hunger crisis inside Gaza”. Vaguely reminds me of what HRW said in Dec 2023 about starvation being used as a tool of war. Seems starving civilians stop being too controversial & spicey for the aunty?

Having been through this in Australia my heart goes out to these populations. No mention of the many animals killed in these fires, and little coverage of the fires in our local media. Is it because annual summer conflagrations are now considered routine. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
