This is an excellent social experiment. All ages are discussing it The implications are very important imo

If you’re getting paid twice the amount of the PM, I would expect you to be able to answer questions about money spent in your role.

Whitlams legacy lives on

Israel has no intention to stopping its genocide, by whatever means. #StandWithPalestine Authorities in Gaza say that Israel has only allowed a fraction of the humanitarian aid deliveries agreed on as part of the United States-brokered ceasefire aje.io/prl7ih

This is a ceasefire? And 100s are dying before the Israelis permit them to leave Gaza for medical treatment. The genocide continues, slowly. At least 93 people in Gaza have been killed by Israeli attacks since the beginning of the October 10 ceasefire, Gaza’s Health Ministry says. aje.io/4xjbsb

Labor’s 5% deposit scheme will push 🏠 prices up & make the housing crisis worse. Instead: build public & affordable housing, fix CGT & NG taxes & cap rents. There are solutions. www.deepcutnews.com/p/labors-5-d...

Once again, "reliable' coal, failed...good thing more than enough renewable energy to keep the light on, the air con running and the fridges cold across Victoria, was curtailed, and could immediately be switch on to make up for the failed generators at Yallourn reneweconomy.com.au/victoria-hit...

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Our Sydney March Against Racism built up to approx 1200+ people, spirited chants, union banners from the Teachers Federation & the National Tertiary Education Union & lots of banners for First Nations justice. Building solidarity we force the racist right back into their hole.

March against racism in Sydney today @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social speaks of the shock of the far right mobilizing openly in the streets & the silence & inaction of government. No they resort to dogwhistling on migrants & foreign students making space for racism to flourish.

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

Those out of touch with reality would preach the high jobseeker numbers and stagnant filled jobs numbers as 'evidence' for beneficiaries being "lazy" and lacking discipline. However, this is a neoliberal economy working as designed. An economy reliant on the precariat class. #nzpol

Meanwhile in Australia, one of the wealthiest nations per capita, decades of policy failure are increasing #homelessness and #inequality. #auspol

Some good news! Electricity from renewables overtakes coal in Australia for the first time

"Keane and Riemer...have argued that criticizing Zionism or Israel is not racist hate speech." It is ludicrous that this commonsense position should have to be defended in court. And shows just how far the Israel lobby will go to silence their critics. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I am mostly done with the archival material I used for my book The First Right: Self-Determination and the Transfomation of International Order, and so I am putting as much of these materials as I can online, where they can be used by other scholars: www.bradleyrsimpson.com/self-determi...

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

NSW Secretary of the Australian academic union NTEU calls out the use of "antisemitism" to shut down free speech & inquiry in our universities & points out he real threat of far-right antisemitism is being ignored while the zionists pursue opponents of Israel's genocide.

Dr Lana Tatour refutes the legal case of supporting Palestinian freedom being antisemitism. The whole case of building a "racial" crime against a Israeli nationality is nonsense since the state of Israel does not itself recognize "Israeli" as a nationality, only the Jewish national category.

Rally at the NSW Supreme Court in Sydney where two Usyd Academics who have long campaigned for a #FreePalestine are facing a legal case of "antisemitism". @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social reinforced we must continue despite the intimidation otherwise justice is lost for all.

Sydney rally today Free, Free, Free Palestine all the way

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters. And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

What a great question from Amy, @nobodyinpoverty.bsky.social who is funded by Andrew Forrest. How are NT First Nations with a 46% death rate coping on Compulsory Income Management, which Andrew Forrest's foundation funded? #NobodyDeservesPoverty #WhiteAustralia www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

GENOCIDE leaves a long tail of consequences in it's wake - not least, decades of trauma, both physical and mental The direct fighting may stop but how much of this is going to be history repeated, of Amerika imposing a "peace" in a region it does not understand? Real peace has not been established

Ok just in - Federal Judge Orders ICE to stop bashing people’s head, body slamming and shoving people to the ground. 👍

One Day ago. No rest for the Israeli Pol-Pot

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

Seriously, "leftie" journos in that room, where. the . fuck. are. you? It might be time to put ethics and morality ahead of your career prospects. This is a holocaust and a fascistic assault on democracy in the West. And you're just gonna sit there quietly? Go fuck yourself.

Could the National Press Club be less embarrassing and less complicit in the genocide of Palestine/the West's decline into overt fascism, pretty, pretty, pretty please? 🙏 Cancelling Chris Hedges' talk on the betrayal of Palestinian journalists only proves his point. Truly, truly pathetic

Of course we want to protect habitat for an endangered species, but how can we contemplate destruction of an old jarrah forest as global warming increases? All that carbon released? No, W.A. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

'...joined by the authors of a Palestinian-led initiative which offers an alternative way forward for Gaza to Trump&Netanyahu's proposal. The working paper is titled, “A Palestinian Armistice Plan, Charting a Rights-Based Transition for Palestinian-Israeli Peace.”' www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXTc...

‼️ This is a very dangerous situation. Nothing like this has ever happened before. This nuclear power plant is the largest in Europe. Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which has been under Russian occupation since March 2022, has been disconnected from the power supply for more than a week⤵️

"The minister for Indigenous Australians, Malarndirri McCarthy, said the Albanese government was already fulfilling its pledge to dismantle the CDP." Regardless, they're not fulfilling the pledge to abolish compulsory income management, a racist, targeted form of digital income management. #AusPol

NSW Police, break the law, assault young women, then the taxpayer pays the compensation for their illegal activity. #NSWPol #AusPol #ACAB

‘Australia is the ranked as the third highest country for climate disinformation’ ?? Just mentioned in the inquiry. In my view - that’s a direct reflection of our highly concentrated mainstream media ownership landscape ie Murdoch and Stokes #auspol

The NSW government will hand over “vast troves” of data to artificial intelligence deployed by the consumer watchdog to catch out “cartel behaviour” in procurement www.news.com.au/technology/n...

I am deeply concerned about the treatment of people living in tents in the Southern Parklands in Adelaide. People are having their homes rolled up and removed while away, returning to find their important personal possessions gone. This is wrong, and unjust. 🧵

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

Dr Assal Rad— "Not even a blip in Western media, just the total normalization of bombing hospitals and flattening homes."

"40 Palestinians have been killed since dawn today by Israeli gunfire & bombardment in the Gaza Strip... ...bodies of 40 people were brought to hospitals in the Gaza Strip since the early hours... as a result of Israeli airstrikes, artillery shelling, & gunfire..." english.wafa.ps/Pages/Detail...

Sydney rally today Hannah Thomas, brutalised by NSW cop at a rally against exporter of war materials to Israel, told us the same week Australia recognized the state of Palestine they approved $10 million deal with Israeli arms firm, Elbit. Betrayal. #FreePalestine

Dr Sara speaking of her experience as a volunteer doctor in Gaza - horrific - & calling on the people to come together to demand our government defend the #SumudFlotilla & sanction Israel. Sydney rally #FreePalestine

Reuters report The claim that Hamas was filming Israeli forces from Nasser Hospital is false and fabricated,” said Ismail al-Thawabta, head of Gaza’s Government Media... “Israel is trying to cover up a full-fledged war crime against the hospital, its patients and medical staff.” aje.io/oa4s61
