Beautiful new social housing in Brisbane by Vokes and Peters, and Rothelowmann Can we have more of this please?

Not sure what LECC Minister Catley is looking at when she says "strong"?

The last coal mine in Norway (in Svalbard) just closed. Pretty ironic choice of words here: "the atmosphere is fine" (they mean the mood among people) en.highnorthnews.com/business/end...

If the answer is either Tony Abbott or Alex Downer, you're asking the wrong question. www.crikey.com.au/2026/05/07/t...

This is wise & solemn on the fears held by all afraid to talk about the racism we see & read every day. It's a minefield to support people who are subject to racism within this conflict. How difficult it must be for those subject to that racism? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

PLEASE SIGN all of you who loved or learned at 2SER, or just like to support community radio and excellence in journalism education (and don't we all need that!). Thanks c.org/wgJFdTMTdF

While they're at it, they should screen for hate speech about women, which so quickly lead to entrenched male violence toward women & girls. Then diversion to SFDV prevention education & ongoing support www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

In case you were wondering if the NSW Govt was in the business of picking winners & losers. With the environment - & in this case also graziers - being losers. Then there's the lying about it #RoseJackson www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Safety for ALP Govt is 1 thing. Funding for safety from family & domestic violence needs increasing by > 50% for response, massively increased for locally developed & based prevention, & sped up for co-locating social service, health, youth & SFDV services www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Morning. ☕️

Too often police make it worse not safer. Time to put public funding for safety into skilled/experienced staff who don't say "f**k it" & use a weapon. Cops don't know how to de-escalate or take the time needed for a safer outcome. Harming vulnerable people is easier www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

(Not) A message from the government of Israel…

Two dumb policy decisions are failing the nation. Subsidies for home buyers in a distorted market and throwing $Bs at the crumbling AUKUS fiasco. We must focus on smart govt interventions not warmongering and failed neoliberal policies.Scrap AUKUS and build public housing!

Come for the memories of great songs & songwriters, enjoy the interviews. Stay for the astounding music writing. You're welcome www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

NSW Govt sneaked this by on a holiday w/end. 56 police officers accused of FDV assaults in 2024/5, 15 charged 4 convicted 3 still in court 8 found notguilty. NSW Law Enforcement Conduct Commission has recommendations but cops can ignore them. Police accountability=0 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

He's not wrong, @albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social. 25% tax on gas exports, now.

The Government has had the national anti-racism framework for nearly 18 months and still hasn't responded. We joined ANIC, FECCA, @edhusicmp.bsky.social and AFIC in @australia.theguardian.com to once again call for its immediate adoption and implementation: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is the first time I've seen a seminar with such impressive academic credibility aiming to discuss how we measure (the lack of) police accountability. It feels like there's a movement afoot & I'm here for it. @anticopofficial.bsky.social www.eventbrite.com/e/data-and-p...

The support for VAWG revealed by this platform is an indictment too of Aust policies & institutions & of govt failure to act on what they KNOW is the problem: a lack of consequences for expressing & acting on male supremacy. So are men part of the problem or ...? womensagenda.com.au/latest/soapb...

This could be interesting. I feel a new social justice movement starting to gain wider traction www.eventbrite.com/e/data-and-p...

Rose Jackson NSW Water Minister says they're avoiding paying reparations to one inundated farm (while everyone else on the wetlands is gagging for a decent flow) they're trying to keep the water flows within the river banks. That's right. They think that flows to a wetland should be kept in river 🤦‍♀️

Dudes. As a society we taught young women to walk with keys between their fingers in dark parking lots and to carry pepper spray in their purse. So yes. I’m asking you to be responsible for the actions of other men. After all, that’s what you’ve asked of women for centuries. It’s your turn.

We can change this practice, keeping animals safer while achieving the same medical goals. If we can do it more kindly, why wouldn't we? Lab workers are sounding the alarm on animal toxicity testing. See the evidence. Act now. toxicity.inc

On what planet is a RAMSAR wetland maintained by keeping water flow within river banks? Some genius stops all environmental & grazier grassland allocated water flows due to a failure of NSWWater hydrology management for a single farm? Huge NSW Govt failure. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution

Yesterday #ShereleMoody Melbourne memorial to murdered women was removed by #MarrinerGroup who own Regent, Princess & Comedy Theatres, Forum & Plaza Ballroom. Audience support may be effected by this action. I hope productions who support FDV prevention will use other venues @mfwitches.bsky.social

www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/nsw-pre... It's getting easier to believe that police not only have a stranglehold over political decisions in NSW et al but that our political leaders like it that way. Police culture must be erased & started afresh w/out racism, misogyny, violence at its core

John Lyons has slammed Donald Trump’s nonsense claim that the Strait of Hormuz will “naturally” reopen. “Surely the logic of that is strange.” “The Americans haven’t been able to reopen it by sheer force along with Israel.” “Rambling Trumpism…” 🔥 #Iran

Penny Wong stuns Jonathon Duniam by exposing leaked Liberal Party talking points which reveal they’ve been instructed to “Create doubt about fuel supply” 🔥🔥 Business as usual for the Libs. 🙄 #auspol

OMG. they really are ghouls. #ExpelTheIsraeliAmbassador #IsraelIsATerroristState #auspol

The Greens sometimes cop flak for saying there's no meaningful difference between Labor and the Libs. Well here they are voting - together- against lifting welfare payments above the poverty line and abolishing the parental and partner income tests. Maybe we're onto something?

nit.com.au/25-03-2026/2... Yet another life needlessly lost. 🖤💛💔

Society is failing people. People are being blamed individually for its failing them - by being asked on JobSeeker, a below poverty line payment that doesn’t pay the rent or cover living costs, to meet obligations they can’t meet with so many urgent needs unmet. #AbolishMOs #RaiseTheRate #auspol 🤨

"Back then they thought there’d always be more trees to cut down. There’d always be more buffalo. There’d always be more birds.... [T]oday, we’re like, ‘How could they have imagined that?’ But here we are, polluting, thinking we’re gonna have more Earth" James McCommons, Nautilus today

AU. What happened to Grace Tame tells you everything you need to know about who holds power in this country and how ruthlessly they will defend it. michaelwest.com.au/grace-tame-a...

Push back against the Queensland government's dangerous over-reach against the right to protest & strong-arm tactics against freedom of political expression SIGH & SHARE the call for all charges to be dropped immediately, & for the law to be scrapped ✊✊✊

UK Review offers a blueprint [for Aust policing]: specialist units for violence against women, independent oversight of police-perpetrated abuse & mandatory standards on vetting & misconduct. theconversation.com/australias-m...

Police cannot be trusted to correctly identify victims from aggressors. They get it wrong too often. We need funds that now go to police to respond to FDV to be reallocated to skilled & experienced alternative or co-responders from front line FDV services. www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03...
