Healthcare workers in Victoria, Australia once again receive an insulting pay offer from the Allen Gov't. Nearly 3000 members voted, 98% rejected. We did essential work during the height of COVID, our workloads are higher than ever, yet our standard of living keeps going backward #VicPol

Mayor Wilson... If I drove into Portland and threw a canister of tear gas at the federal building unprovoked, would you ask me nicely to leave? If I shot a woman in the face, would you remind me that violence isn't allowed, and to please tone it down?

Labor: Welcome Mr President, we are proud to honour you

Please tell me why international air fares and holiday travel are part of the basket of goods used to assess inflation. The poor buggers struggling to pay their mortgage sure don’t add to that category!

Another one of Tom Sewell's flunkeys has been denied bail. This time it's Brandan Koschel, who gave an allegedly antisemitic speech to applause at Bec 'Freedom' Walker & Jesse 'QAnon' Stewart's March For White Australia event in Sydney yesterday. Sad! www.canberratimes.com.au/story/916170...

@ellensandellmp.bsky.social Labor disrespects healthcare workers so much they quietly moved the Frankston Hospital opening to a Sunday so the Premier wouldn't have to face hundreds of angry workers. We need allies. Labor losing votes to the LNP won't help

The Victorian Government won't give essential workers a reasonable pay deal, so we're taking action on the opening day of the new Frankston Hospital hwu.org.au/healthcare-w...

We need to get better media coverage of this as we head into a #VicPol election year. Disappointed with the media during the massive strike last month. Let's see them come and talk to us during the new Frankston Hospital opening in <2 weeks, coinciding with another strike hwu.org.au/healthcare-w...

Pfft democracy, who needs it. Let police decide whether or not any protests can occur

How grotesque. At a time where we need positive political leadership that brings us together, unites us, protects our social cohesion & multiculturalism these dills seek to exploit tragedy, division and fear. Shame on them all.

Having killed hundreds of aid workers, Israel is now completely banning 37 aid orgs from entering Gaza, including Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children, Oxfam, Caritas, and World Vision. This is an obvious war crime and thousands will die. Any comment from our government?

Outside the ACT, progress on raising the age of criminal responsibility has stalled. Instead, Queensland and Victoria have introduced “adult time for adult crime” laws for children, moves incoming Children's Commissioner warns are not evidence-based. satpa.pe/RCP5yyF

I don't watch much broadcast TV or ad supported streaming. Using my housemate's Kayo for some #ashes Did I just see Kyle Sandilands in an ad about stopping hate and bigotry? Kyle F*ing Sandilands?

Also: the NSW Police authorised a nazi rally (“Abolish The Jewish Lobby” etc) in front of NSW parliament 6 weeks ago. But it’s the bridge protesters calling for a ceasefire that are the problem? Srsly

In 1991 Mt Pinatubo spewed out 50 MILLION TONNES OF CO₂!! That's a ridiculously MASSIVE amount!

"In the past few hours Israel has conducted multiple attacks across the Gaza strip violating the ceasefire.. at least 366 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire came into effect 8 weeks ago"

Hopefully @australia.theguardian.com cover the huge HWU strike and march in Victoria today. Well past time essential healthcare workers get the pay and recognition they deserve

🚨Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal is steadfastly refusing to condemn the NSW Parliament neo-Nazi rally. Paid over $1,000 a day by taxpayers but MIA since far-right Advance scandal over four months ago... theklaxon.com.au/wheres-jilli...

I'm no lawyer, but I do have workplace health and safety experience in the #AFL home state. This claim that duty of care doesn't apply because the risk isn't exclusive to/higher in the workplace seems *very* dubious. Hope they get roasted legally. This is not a moral stance at all. Do better AFL

Pretty remarkable how high Australia sits on the scale for lifestyle carbon emissions globally - and how little this gets mentioned in domestic climate discourse. hotorcool.org/publications...

Joe Rogan has one of the world's most popular podcasts. Unfortunately, like nearly all of the most popular online shows, his tends to spread climate misinformation. For @climateconnections.bsky.social I scrutinize his recent episode with octogenarian climate contrarians Lindzen & Happer 🧵 (1/11)

Gift horse. My @smh @theage cartoon.

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]

“We live in one of the richest countries in the world, that can afford to drop a lazy $360 billion on a bad idea... yet, when it comes to health, education, aged care, apparently, so many of these things are unaffordable.” - @richarddenniss.bsky.social at the #RevenueSummit25 #auspol

German environmental group Urgewald has exposed how major financial institutions continue to bankroll the metallurgical coal industry, funnelling nearly $52 billion into mine expansions between 2022 and 2024 despite global climate commitments. www.mining.com/banks-pumped....

Immigration isn’t the cause of the housing crisis. Dwellings have grown faster than population. The issue isn’t how many people we have... it’s that housing is treated as an asset, not shelter. Blame the system, not the people moving in.

Cardiff will be the first UK city to introduce a surcharge for oversized SUVs and trucks, "while very large vehicles – those over 3,500kg – will be excluded from residential permits entirely."

I find it obscene that they have a target 🎯 unemployment rate without appropriate welfare benefit rate to support the unemployed.

Well done world 🙃 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

When Watt cites “Safeguard Mechanism as an effective way of controlling emissions”, you should know SM only applies to direct (scope 1) GHG emissions of 🇦🇺's largest emitters SM doesn't cover emissions produced from 🇦🇺’s Coal+Gas exports that make up ~80% of 🇦🇺’s contribution to global emissions 1/

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Excited to share GEM’s new report on how nominee companies hide the real owners of Australia’s fossil fuel projects. Nominee branches of JPMorgan, Citibank & HSBC are connected to firms emitting 22m tonnes of CO₂/yr — equal to 4.4m Australian households. 🔗 globalenergymonitor.org/report/the-f...

The way the @albomp.bsky.social govt "acts" on climate is TERRIFYING: ⚠️>46,000km2 opened 4 offshore Oil+Gas exploration ⚠️Sea Dumping Bill that'll enable high-risk CCS ⚠️ #FutureGasStrategy to 2050 & beyond ⚠️32🤯 approvals of NEW/EXTENSION Coal+Gas projects ⚠️$15B in fossil fuel subsidies for 2024-2025

The Labor govt's 2035 target of 62% reduction in net national GHG emissions below 2005 emissions levels is aligned with >2.4°C of warming (above pre-industrial levels) Not sure how destructive it'll be cos 2.4°C is BEYOND the range of this Climate Council infographic warning of appalling impacts

It’s complicated #auspol #climate t.co/pwQVDLYzH2

Disgraceful. No govt that actually cares about climate change would do this. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
