Widespread use of risk profiling by law enforcement, social security and migration programs is incompatible with international human rights law and must be banned, Amnesty International said in a new report which includes Australia’s Robodebt Scheme as an example www.amnesty.org.au/amnesty-repo...

Appalling Aust Press Council determination that this cartoon by @cathywilcox.bsky.social is in any way inappropriate. Rather I find the APC, who have long been so woeful when it comes to racist white blokes (Laws, Jones, Sandilands et al) & their adjudication “causes offence, distress & prejudice”

Amazing first day at the public inquiry into AUKUS. The analysis, intellect and commitment from presenters was exceptional. The govt cannot ignore this inquiry, it cannot hide behind “secrecy” and cannot continue to spout propaganda at the expense of facts. Well done everyone!

We've got a big feature out today (with gorgeous photographs) about the Ukrainian conservationists working to save a herd of bison from the ongoing Russian invasion. It's about the hope that conservation can offer in times of war, and the ways that animals' lives are entangled human geopolitics.

A government that abandons people in need of support due to apparent budget pressures but is prepared to spend well over $360 billion for a dud submarine deal and defence pact, is a government that does not deserve your vote. Nor do the LNP, PHON or UAP! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

When scientists stick to facts and make small revisions to reflect those everchanging realities the far right fossil fuel puppets claim the science is all wrong. Fuck I hate these people. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hawke or Keating govts would not have engaged in AUKUS. “Times have changed” says Gareth Evans. How true! Whitlam, Hawke and Keating would never have sacrificed our sovereignty and security to the US!

A little grass touching can be very therapeutic & beneficial. Don't know about that other stuff though.

A 10% fall in house prices would take affordability back to 2023 levels. So let's stop the fricking scare campaigns that the CGT changes will destroy the economy. They are the start of a very long road to recovery www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

This is why police shouldn’t be investigating police. Their ‘brotherhood’ of protecting a fellow officer who one day may be responsible for protecting their back guarantees a favourable outcome and evidence being ‘sanitised’.

Apart from just about everything, what could possibly go wrong with Data Centre builders & operators regulating themselves with minimal to no Government regulations.

Brazilian fans chanted "Hey Trump, go fuck yourself" during the US national anthem before Brazil's 2-1 women's football win over the USA in São Paulo.

The Israeli govt refuses to alter course or accept any criticism of its genocidal policies. This has prompted many who previously favored a two-state solution to now call for the abolition of the Israeli ethnostate, which in turn causes supporters of Israel to accuse their critics of eliminationism.

He effortlessly snapped up first Sydney home for a mere $200,000 back in 1994. That modest start paved the way for a property portfolio now reportedly worth a staggering $25 million. Oblivious to the fact that $25 million is why his kids can't afford housing. www.realestate.com.au/news/the-blo...

Really nice to talk to the nice folks at the 7am podcast, about my latest report into the climate impact of data centres (this one focused on Australia). We already know what these companies will default to. The only climate-protecting response is to clamp down on them hard: including a pause

Where is the water coming from? And, where is the energy coming from? Data centres should be banned unless and until they can prove they will generate their own water and renewable energy without ANY impact on the environment, water sources, community, energy supplies…

Hadn’t ever pegged Pauline as a war criminal, but 2026 is a weird timeline.

IKEA didn't build renewable generation to power 1.47 million homes because politicians told them to. They did it because the economics stacked up. With much of the investment already paid off, savings of over half a billion USD per year on electricity costs, the fundamentals become hard to ignore.

What a huge mistake made by these to TV personalities.

June 6 is D-day, probably ANTIFA's most heroic moment.

The US refusing visa entry for the Iranian soccer team’s support staff stating “we can’t allow them to abuse this system to sneak terrorists into the United States under false pretenses”, is precisely why people should boycott this country and all games played there. You just showed your real faces.

I'd argue that constant housing prices have destroyed Australia's economy and society. House prices don't generate GDP, instead it redistributes it to the already wealthy. pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/06...

Jane Hume skewered as she scrambles to avoid choosing between first-home buyers & investors. PK doesn’t let it go, then when cornered, “that’s a ridiculous question.” 🙄 Yikes. She’ll be now praying no one sees this pathetic display, esp people locked out of housing. #auspol

Mehreen Faruqi lists some of the abuses endured by Australian women detained off the flotilla “sexually assaulted, cabled tied & beaten” “Raped” “Syringed with an unknown substance” “Guns inserted inside them” “Repeatedly kneed” “Stripped of clothes” Absolutely reprehensible. #auspol
