The grip male supremacist Christian churches have on education in Australia is terrifying, and in a world of rising christofascism and white supremacist bs they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near education

Queensland appointed two Catholic strategists to Ed board, replacing union. Classic 2020s US Right politics, working through the back door to crush public education’s independence & strength. One of them: also culture warrior Advance & Classical Christian Ed. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2024/06...

Worth a read for #Auspol #NZpol since our politicians and “conservative” thought leaders 🥴 are in this loosely and/or tightly networked sphere.

The OECD report has not gotten any coverage. It's why we are doing @thepointau.bsky.social - covering things that are not news, but should be.

2 deg & late frost has trashed our zucchini, beans, basil , pumpkins, tomatoes are ok. So sad but we will start again, can’t miss summer veg. Ours is a tiny loss, I can’t imagine how sad for real farmers when weather ruins their crops. Look after our earth, it’s all connected #NATURE 🙏💙

Heritage Foundation (ex Atlas?) & co around Trump made them brazen. These tools of the climate wreckers making our lives more expensive by the year are no doubt well paid to 💣 the debate with misleading “research.” “Atlas” because it’s a global game. #auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🧵 Must read. #AtlasNetwork partners were boasting in an Australian parliamentary hearing & emails about their destruction of climate action in Australia. They claimed it. They were triumphant, arrogant about the law not forcing them to reveal donors. #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/dead-man-wal...

Climate is not an issue you have a 'view' on Mr Miller - it's a fact based issue where the peer reviewed science is accepted and followed - or not #auspol

“While Trump flaunts his gilded life – the private jets, the opulent clubs, the billionaire persona – his administration has methodically advanced policies that cruelly strip essential support from the poor.” theaimn.net/the-trump-pr...

The Liberals are considering dropping net zero because they’re riven by internal dissent. They care more about polling than about policy - more about their own ambitions and donors than about their constituents and their country.

The Libs are counting on the idea that they just need to bombard Australians with enough propaganda suggesting renewables cause high power prices, then they can retake power. Things are going to get pretty nasty I suspect.

Doctors describe Liberal MP’s attempts to drop net zero as “reckless”. theaimn.net/doctors-desc...

Australian Environmentalist Natalie Kyriacou’s blunt message to climate deniers “Just because you don’t understand the science doesn’t mean it’s not real. It just means that you’re personally confused.”🎯

Climate scientists Ailie Gallant & Alex Dunne educate RWNJ Malcolm Roberts on science, & explain that “in the case of climate change there is not strong disagreement” among scientists. Roberts “There isn’t?” It’s like he was born yesterday.🤔 #Estimates

Observers of the US Right have told us of the Red Caesar notion for a few years now. This violent authoritarian dream is edging ever closer to preventing its own overthrow. Note that one of its roots lies in an Atlas think-tank (ex? Can’t know b/c dark list.) lucyham29.substack.com/p/brief-clar...

"It is tricky to determine whether Andrew Hastie’s Fundamentalist Christianity or his global networking with Trumpist forces should worry Australians more" If Andrew Hastie becomes Liberal leader, says @lucyham.bsky.social, it will be for "the Christian Nationalist and ethnostate faction". #auspol

A brilliant episode reminding us why we watch the excellent Sunday Shot. Wonderful to hear Marie's knowledge/insights re the Whitlam government & the constitutional crisis. Also fantastic to hear from Daniel on how the Victorian treaty came to be & how it can be adopted in other jurisdictions ✌️🙏✌️

Murdoch’s culture warriors are interlinked with the Atlas Network & national conservatism more and less officially. Rita Panahi is pushing Atlas partner affiliate Jacinta N Price with natcon-ish Andrew Hastie as a ticket. This is part of Murdochista’s job. #Auspol open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...
