“I am Jewish, and the antisemitism I experience comes from Zionists and far-right supporters of Zionism because of my outspoken opposition to the actions of the Israeli state.” – Judith Treanor #antisemitism #zionism also #FuckIsrael

Very proud our #4Corners story, Scarred, on #endometriosis surgeon #SimonGordon is shortlisted for the The Walkey’s Women’s Leadership in Journalism prize. Thanks so much to the former patients & medical professionals who bravely stood up for women, to expose a terrible history & make change. ❤️💪

Let's not pretend to be surprised when communicable diseases that responded amazingly to vaccination are on the rise after we became a society of sceptics. #GoingBackwards www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Currently, sewage treatment plants in England don't treat sewage enough times to remove all bacteria + meds. The EU is trying to introduce standards of sewage treatment high enough to remove these, but many member states object saying this will be too costly. youtu.be/zQQIrFMO5AU?...

It's just cruel....

Sir, another graduation ceremony in which the students booed AI has dropped. "College graduates were pissed after their school used AI to announce graduates’ names and missed hundreds of names" (via @/FearedBuck on Twitter)

Hi @scienceau.bsky.social, perhaps the Science Meets Parliament gala dinner Pauline Hanson's so fond of can spotlight fossil fascism, to enable scientists to educate themselves critically about One Nation, racism & fossil fascism❓(backgrd next post) Not just provide photo ops for One Nation reps

And that there a lot of administrators who are the easiest marks to salespeople

Apparently, early polling shows a negative response to the budget tax changes. Really? So, trying to reverse generational tax inequalities is generally unpopular? I think the polling is unrepresentative or just wrong. Or Pauline effect? #Budget2026 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Sir David Attenborough. Rarely would I say that there are humans who should be idolised. But I can't think of many who have had such a continued and meaningful impact on the world through their passion as him. Happy 100th birthday, and thank you for all the amazing Life on Earth you have shown us.

For the record, every Trump critic I know always thought and said that Hunter Biden was a garbage guy trying to trade on his dad's name. The pushback was on whether *Joe* Biden was involved in kickback schemes. No one no doubts the Trump Family—top to bottom—is utterly corrupt.

You should be too. And if you're not, be furious for someone less well off than you. If we don't actually start voting for the future, we are completely and utterly fucked.

Western journalists, who largely ignored Israel's slaughter of their colleagues in Gaza, are playing handmaiden to Trump's fascism.

Just re-upping this post from NIH/CDC “Director” and right-wing podcast staple Jay Bhattacharya, who seems to think that he is a more “trustworthy source to comment on reforms in public health” than the Lancet. He traded science for politics to gain Twitter fame, and has not altered course since.

I am reminded of how many people only start complaining about systems once they have to start using them liked aged care or disability support. It’s too late then, mates. You should have been advocating for the improvement of these systems several decades before.

The Hinkley C UK nuclear reactor will produce 3.2GW, it will cost £50bn. For that the UK could have built 40GW of Wind Turbines in 1/5th of the time. Which would even on the least windy days of the year produce TWICE as much electricity. Nuclear is an unnecessary RIPOFF.

"Not the odds, but the stakes." Motto for my press criticism during the 2014 campaign, and a good place to end. The only one of my "key distinctions" that actually broke into the public sphere. Here's a news article about it: Not the odds, but the stakes. www.cnn.com/2023/11/15/m...

What do these corporations have in common? -Amazon -AT&T -Home Depot -Microsoft -Palantir They all reaped billions in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and are actively collaborating with ICE's deportation machine. Always follow the money.

Make the polluters pay. Carbon pricing works. We need action now to reduce the impacts of GHGs on the future of our families www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Thank you Antony Loewenstein, and all Independent Media outlets 🇵🇸 youtube.com/watch?v=CQOS...

(🚨) The four PROOF reports on Minneapolis—of which the last, just published, is below—have done all they can possibly do to exhaustively detail, in near-book-length form, exactly what happened there, why it happened, and why it’s the start of something far worse. WARNING: Reader discretion advised.

The Albo government's antisemitism bill is a rushed hatchet job. Nobody has proper time to consider it carefully enough, and it will have all sorts of unintended consequences if passed. It is the worst kind of law-making: moral panic induced, pandering to powerful lobby groups' demands.

They whole thing is driven by the need to bring up sagging polling numbers without changing any domestic policies.

Albo and Starmer fellating POTUS and his goons, as per standard procedure

So it took 50 Fibis to 'escort' the cuffed and hooded Maduro from his kidnap plane, while 3 HomeBoyz filmed the 70metre walk to the car on their iPhones. Welcome to 2026, Murica. Unfortunately, Trump won't survive to see the Hague, but I look forward to seeing Hegseth et al. there

Susssssan Ley wants the PM to recall Parliament to debate anti-semitism. Susssssan Ley consistently voted for the changes to 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act. Remember when George Brandis said: "People do have a right to be bigots." 🧵

You may ask yourself, "Why am I in this House?" You may ask yourself, "Where did my career go to?" And you may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I a nong?" And you may say to yourself, "One Nation? What have I done?!"

Duterte is at The Hague for his extrajudicial murders. Let’s hope Trump, Hegseth, and any military commanders willing to follow their illegal orders end up there as well.

Can anyone tell me how many junior cricket players there are in England Vs Australia? As someone who grew up (not really grown up yet) in England and now sees my own kids grow in Aus, I suspect the numbers would be telling. Cricket is the summer sport in Aus. It's a sideshow in England #Ashes2025

More examples of the Australian Healthcare 'System', one designed to look after those who can pay. It doesn't need to be this way, but those running the 'system' have vested interests to maintain the status quo . www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Duturte is in prison because of his decisions to kill alleged Philippino criminals without trial. I look forward to seeing Trump and Hegseth stand before the ICC and answer questions about 'narco boats'

@uncommonsenseradio.bsky.social Another fantastic show today. Still missing Amy, but the covering presenters are doing a wonderful job. I'm sure Amy is proud. Keep it up, team.

This is why for a long time I've found the Prime Minister's Prizes for Science a rather insulting propaganda exercise www.abc.net.au/news/science... CSIRO funding as a percentage of GDP: 1982-83 = 0.17 2024-25 = 0.03 ... Scientific extinction event imminent?

Uranium mine owners made huge profits, then the cold war ended, demand dried up, they declared bankrupt + the businesses closed without cleaning up. A pattern which may be familiar to observers of the oil + gas industry today @oilfieldwitness.bsky.social? vimeo.com/ondemand/thi...

Jon has been a free man his whole life, and NEVER has he had "unlimited toilet paper" privileges

I reckon if we deem you responsible and mature enough to face a 25 year jail sentence you're probably also mature and responsible enough to be able to use fucking tiktok

You’ll remember the blow-up over Matthew Knott’s SMH piece quoting a Hamas co-founder in what looked like a hit job on Albanese. (Context in the quote tweet below if you aren't up to speed.) Well, it gets worse, and no one’s noticed. A thread.... /1 bsky.app/profile/aaro...

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵 An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

Gary Stevenson for Chancellor of the Exchequer in a Corbyn government. Just putting that energy out into the universe

www.bbc.com/news/article... No doubt these are serious fires, but perhaps we can stop using the word Unprecedented. 15,000h is large. Victoria 2009 Black Saturday was 450,000h. These catastrophic events are not unparalleled or previously unknown but they are predicted to occur more frequently

Kenneth Roth is solid, just after 19 mins in. Fergson still calling the genocide "war" & pushing Roth on whether if Netanyahu stops, this might positively impact the ICC arrest warrants was laughable—BUT Roth speaks of Israel's mass atrocities, war crimes & genocide. iview.abc.net.au/video/NC2501...

Can I suggest interested people watch Kenneth Roth talking to Sarah Ferguson on 730 tonight @abcnewsbot.bsky.social Gaza, Trump, antisemitism. Some people excel in simple communication of complex ideas.

Australian COVID-19 weekly stats update: The risk estimate fell again to 0.6% “Currently Infectious”, or 1-in-170. That implies a 16% chance that someone is infectious in a group of 30. #COVID19 #Australia 🧵

Yet another reminder that Australian 'Public' healthcare is not free. Just to say that in the UK, cancer/cardiac/any hospital treatment is free. No surcharge, no top-up, no credit card care. These decisions are ours to take. Tax multinationals to pay for healthcare www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

Newspaper coverage of climate change around the globe dropped 6% from May to June 2025 -- and by 28% compared to June 2024, despite increasing frequency and severity of climate-fueled extreme weather events. Read more from the @media-climate.bsky.social here: mecco.colorado.edu/summaries/is...

When I think of the ideas, projects and people that the ABC has passed over in favour of this, I feel ill. (ILL?!! *cue an ex-Gruen panellist cracking a joke about eating mushrooms, accompanied by canned laughter*)
