"We subsidise the destruction of native forests. Do both major parties support that? Yes. "Does the public support that? No. "But because both major parties agree, bipartisanship means it's very hard to have a democratic debate." @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Car crash. My @smh @theage cartoon.

#BREAKING 🚨 Four major global news outlets – AFP, AP, BBC and Reuters – have released a joint statement, saying they are “desperately concerned” for journalists in Gaza The UN says the situation is a “horror show” as more people, including many children, starve to death

"Chevron continues to fall short in its duty to manage its operations in a way that protects unique environment of Barrow Is. …unsurprising given the history of Chevron on Barrow Island." www.boilingcold.com.au/gas-seeping-...

We don't need a more competent, less embarrassing Zionist in this special envoy role. Because the role is to quash opposition to a genocide. Scrap the whole authoritarian project completely, and then, if you want, appoint First Nations elders as an all-forms anti-racism envoy

Excellent article

Save your sanity! Spurn #insiders and join us on the #SundayShot as we go live with @hannahferguson.bsky.social and @marquelawyers.com.au. www.youtube.com/@TheSundayShot

All eyes still on Gaza. We will not become desensitised.

They're really trying to WMD our butts into supporting the mass-murders of countless more brown people in the Middle East again. I wouldn't accept this type of hackneyed recycled bullshit from my entertainment, why would I accept it from my political propaganda?

Fontaines DC doing good work here

📢 Protest Advice - Tear Gas 🪧 If you are protesting tomorrow - this video has great advice for preparing for and responding to tear gas. No makeup, contacts, etc. If you live near a protest site - consider placing buckets of clean water outside your home so protestors have easy access. 🪣

"The vast majority of Australians have got less than $200,000 worth of super." "We're having this entire media obsession about a small increase in the amount of tax that will be paid by people with more than 15 times that." @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

🚨BREAKING: Israeli speedboats have arrived and intercepted the Madleen Freedom Flotilla, and five of them are currently circling the flotilla. “They are intercepting our boat right now. We are not a threat; we have no weapons and are only carrying humanitarian aid,” said Yasmeen Acar.

Three long years of Tim Wilson. *sigh*

If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

Totally agree … but first … we need a flag that represents all Australians … not just a few living in a golden age past … that never really was…

10 years after gas exports from Queensland began, all of the gas companies involved, bar one, have not paid a cent in company tax. This is despite them selling $125 billion worth of LNG out of Queensland, and reporting $330 billion in total Australian revenue. #auspol

From now on every fossil fuel project proposed in Australia should be accompanied by a human impact statement outlining the consequences for food, water and peace and lives ruined. @JulianCribb #auspol #thehumanfuture #climate #fossilfuels

Francesca Albanese— "Now that the wind is changing and everyone starts to oppose the Gaza meat-grinding: "Netanyahu did not commit the genocide by himself. The problem will not be resolved by scapegoating him, ignoring the rest. 1. End genocide. 2. End occupation/annexation. 3. End apartheid."

Imagine if our health minister said he wanted to spend more after meeting with public health experts. Or the climate minister said he wanted to spend more after meeting with climate scientists…no chance But defence… Defence spending never causes budget deficits or high interest rates #climate

ICYMI ABC, please explain. Facts matter. If you can’t get the facts straight please find someone who can. NWS gas is for export. It will definitely NOT help east coast consumers. Australia makes virtually NOTHING out of the deal. Pollution will cause more global heating, exacerbating climate 🔥🔥

With 94 seats & a progressive senate - if they still can’t stick to the science on climate, fix the NACC & Whistleblower legislation, online gambling, #raisetherate & now sanction Israel - then they really don’t want to & are captured #auspol

❤️

We have a new Federal environment minister who is likely to move quicker on fossil fuel project approvals. Our voices matter. Use all the ways to make yourself heard. @australiainstitute.org.au's petition: Reject Australia's Biggest Fossil Fuel Project nb.australiainstitute.org.au/reject_north...

25 burned alive whilst sleeping, taking shelter in a school they thought a safe zone. Killed at 1am this morning by Israel. This world is lost.

The absolute gall of the Nationals to be using internet connectivity as a policy condition & talking up the need for it in the bush - when it was their direct actions which caused the issues in the first place & the negligence of the media not to point this out!! #auspol #insiders

Approving Woodside’s Burrup Hub means signing off on 6.1 billion tonnes of CO2 - that’s 13x Australia’s annual emissions. It would undo all our climate efforts and lock in fossil fuels until 2070. Labor, this isn’t leadership—it’s climate sabotage. #auspol #StopBurrupHub

"If this was somewhere else in the world, there would be a national outcry. "The pollutants that are coming out of those Woodside stacks are actively degrading the rock art surfaces. "It's incontestable." 🎙️Professor of Archaeology Benjamin Smith #savemurujuga #auspol

Looks like Labor is about to approve the North West shelf gas expansion, which among bad news for the planet and WA energy costs is terrible for the nearby Murujuga rock art - which is so old, it has one of the first known depictions of the human face australiainstitute.org.au/post/woodsid...

Whiplash anyone? The #SundayShot has assembled the big guns to put the Coalition chaos in context & assess likely scenarios & implications. @frankbongiorno.bsky.social, @juliannes.bsky.social & Judith Brett join us + a chat with @tonywindsor.bsky.social. Watch us @ www.youtube.com/@TheSundayShot

Tell me again how the 'progressive' party won the election...

What do you prefer? Our oldest, grandest form of human rock art in THE WORLD, showing plants, creatures, even human faces & meaningful messaging vs huge expanded industrial gas drilling & processing causing acid rain & fast art destruction? for OS shareholders to get richer?? Hmmm? #MurrayWatt

“We also call on the Federal Government to see the writing on the wall & dump Climate Active’s “carbon neutral” certification. Today, Climate Active’s biggest participant has come out & acknowledged the key problems with carbon offsetting. The program clearly cannot continue in its current form."

Nuclear energy is dead in Australia. The politics of nuclear doesn’t stack up. Either does the business case. No sensible investor would built a nuclear power plant. Our geography, population distribution & weather make comparisons with other countries irrelevant

Funny how so many of the right wingers complaining about cost of living & ‘doing it tough’ over the last 3 years now all of a sudden have $3million+ in Super that they need to protect.

Fossil fuels are killing people. Enough is enough

AFR column on how "bad" the changes to super tax weirdly explains that the changes won't affect pretty much everyone.(except the super rich) Got your super in an industry or retail fund? (ie all of us). You're fine, you don't have "unrealised capital gains" so carry on.

David Milner, with what the rest of the world should be screaming. Australia is complicit, to our shame. @albomp.bsky.social standing up against genocide does not make you antisemitic it makes us human

Energy Australia has been selling coal fired energy as "carbon neutral". The offsets used have been shown to be ineffective. "What's really concerning is that it's the Australian Government that's been giving the tick of approval to these offsets," @richarddenniss.bsky.social said on Sky News.
