Under the Trump Regime, the US has become a rogue state. Here’s what to boycott when you’re in the supermarket aisles if you don’t want your money supporting it.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/20-amer...

Under the Trump Regime, the US now meets the definition of a rogue state. Venezuela is only one example. I lay out five patterns: aggression, annexation talk, attacks on accountability, militarising domestic politics, and coercion-for-profit.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/america...

Trump’s invasion of Venezuela should be a wake-up call for Australia. We can’t keep pretending the US is a rules-based, shared-values ally. It’s time to rethink who we trust before we go down with the Titanic. Read, comment, share.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/tied-to...

Israel is drafting mandatory death penalty laws that will apply exclusively to Palestinians. Australia must speak up. Here’s the letter I sent to the Australian Foreign Minister @senatorwong.bsky.social calling for Australia to speak out. www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/austral...

Israel is blocking almost 40 humanitarian organisations from operating in Gaza, including Médecins Sans Frontières. At the same time, hundreds ofPalestinians have been killed since the so-called ceasefire began. This is not what a ceasefire looks like. #Gaza #Ceasefire

Lack of UN peacekeepers in Gaza is indicative of the need for UN reform. A Security Council where any one of either the US, UK, Russia, China or France can hold the rest of the world to ransom isn’t fit for purpose. The US and Russia are the worst offenders. Watch and share.👇🏽

People hear #Arctic warming and think polar bears. But “record-low thickness” is also a climate stability story: thinner ice melts faster, exposes dark ocean, and locks in more warming and disruption globally.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/more-th...

Cars aren’t the problem. Space is. And geometry. When we design space for people-moving (not car storage), cities get cheaper, cleaner and calmer. Bikes + transit are the secret sauce. Read and share my blog.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/trams-t...

Calling out Israel for its genocide in Gaza isn’t antisemitism. Just like criticising ISIS, Hamas and the Taliban isn’t Islamophobia. It’s the human thing to do. What is wrong, is the dog whistling and hate coming from the Right and the Left!

This week, Professor James Hansen and colleagues published projections that the global temperature record could reach +1.7°C by 2027. And if that number lands in your gut the way it landed in mine, good. It should. #climatecrisis #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/two-yea...

“It’s time to hold our leaders to the speed of physics. If the climate can shift meaningfully in 2 yrs, then “net zero by 2050” without strong near-term cuts isn’t a plan - it’s just a slogan!” #FossilFuel induced #ClimateChange #Auspol @australianlabor.bsky.social gov for ecocide

I get this one often from climate change denialists: “Yeah, but it was cold yesterday.” Cold days don’t disprove global warming. Weather is local. Climate is global and measured over decades. Climate science doesn’t work off vibes. It works off data.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/yeah-bu...

Vehicle to Grid (V2G) is a game changer because it allows every EV to be a mobile power station. 👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/vehicle...

EVs aren’t just a car. They’re part of an energy system. What happens when millions of vehicles become part of the electricity system? Vehicle-to-grid will turn every EV into a mobile battery storage opportunity. #climatecrisis #electricvehicles #V2G #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/colour-...

After Bondi, National Cabinet has agreed to tighten gun laws. That’s good. But reforms need teeth: national standards, real enforcement, limits on stockpiling, and a national register that actually works. Full post: www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/bondi-a... #Bondi #GunSafety #GunReform

Banning social media for under-16s is a blunt tool for a complex problem. We need smarter, evidence-based fixes. Here’s five reasons why Albo’s ban won’t work.👇🏽 #onlinesafety #auspol

If “progressives” want to stop Pauline Hanson and Trump-style politics in Australia, they could start by not rorting travel perks for partners, kids, festivals and protests. My latest blog on why this matters.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/travel-...

A social-media ban for under-16s won’t protect kids. Prohibition never does. If the @AlboMP government really cared about their futures, it would start by getting serious on climate. And it would regulate the dodgy tech bros, not our youth.👇🏽 #auspol #ClimateAction

“Recyclable” doesn’t mean “recycled”. The little triangle has become Australia’s favourite get-out-of-guilt-free card. More than 85% of this stuff isn’t actually recycled. It ends up in landfill or our environment. 🧵1/2

In the Trump Regime era, Australia can’t keep mistaking deference for defence. Cooperate and talk with the US - sure. But stop treating “the alliance” as sacred identity when values diverge. Sovereignty means capability and options. www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/the-fla...

“Within the rules” isn’t the same as “OK”’ Travel entitlements keep getting gamed - by both major parties. Time to rebalance Parliament with credible independents. #auspol #Integrity #Accountability #Transparency
