Australia has an aging population of baby boomers. They need aged care and it's expensive. I get that, but so are unnecessary submarines. In addition, about 31% of corporations pay little or no taxes; offsetting by multinationals means they aren't taxed on wealth generated in Australia.

I interviewed historian @emmashortis.bsky.social on the particulars of American fascism, comparisons with Nazism, the global crisis of democracy, and Australia's options. None of this is particularly cheery stuff, but you might find some clarity in it. youtu.be/MM6cXjTBJ0U?...

Just know everyone is safe here and I do mean everyone🩷💛💚❤️

Always a great listen!

Zali Steggall: “For too long, large fossil fuel companies have exploited tax loopholes, paid little in return for damage they inflict on our environment, economy. The technology is here. The solutions are ready. What we lack is the political will in Canberra.”

Sharing, because I saw someone say this on either TikTok or Instagram and I wish I could remember and credit it!!

Over and over again over breakfast it's Cox on the morning news saying "boyfriend... who's transitioning from male to female" and I want to scream at the unchallenged misgendering.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

Something to remember for you all as social media is swamped by people angry over a man they've never met - especially in Australia where that American white guy's killing is being fed out and manipulated by Advance and the Atlas group. You're being played. All of it is scripted agit-prop trash.

Good piece here about how climate change will affect local communities and councils. It includes our proposal for a National Climate Disaster Fund to pay for the costs of response and recovery – funded by a levy on fossil fuel exports. Our research: australiainstitute.org.au/post/local-g...

Impressive effort from #Kiwi #coal campaigners www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3607...

The Australian Government is doing deals with the devil. Meanwhile other countries with an ounce of integrity are tearing up deals with the genocidal Israeli regime.

A pollination ecologist says it is important people play their part in preserving feral and native bees.

In case there is any doubt

The Australian Government yesterday released a comprehensive National Climate Risk Assessment (NCRA). www.acs.gov.au/pages/nation... The extreme #weather and #ecosystem disruptions it outlines are not a distant prospect nor the new normal. They are just the beginning. #buckleUp

Morally reprehensible #auspol We really do need a 7 generations outlook on certain policy decisions ...

But... the economy! We can't afford #ClimateAction! #denialism #capturedstate #fossilcriminals #ExistentialEmergency #auspol #wapol

Australia's #climate risk report is a siren not a strategy. No one is immune & we are all at risk. www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/no-one-...

Maybe our NT government might be the one to test the recent UN announcement about state liability for inaction.

I will not be lectured by organisations who fuel hate against the most marginalised among us. We must be intolerant to hate, in order to have a tolerant society. @amyremeikis.bsky.social points to the lack of compassion, empathy and tolerance underpinning the cruelty of the Trump regime. #Auspol

I'm hoping that someone in #BorlooPerth will holler for me -on behalf of my grandchildren!

A fantastic speech against the madness in Gaza from the Israeli conductor Ilan Volkov. He's speaking up for our shared humanity here. Against what's being done to innocents on both sides. But the Palestinians and Jews who want peace there are not powerful enough to stop it. They all need our help.

“Today’s final approval of Woodside’s massive NWS gas export terminal will mean emissions equivalent to 12 new coal power stations, making a mockery of the PM’s promise to act urgently on climate change. It is a betrayal of Austns who voted for action on climate change, & of our Pacific neighbours,”

Driving a car requires training and a license, and then each car is registered to a specific owner. Why is it such a radical idea to do the same for guns?

Holy feck ... #BuckleUp for #climateChaos brought to you by the planet-wrecking #fossilFools and #StateCapture. #MakeThePollutersPay

Hooray! We're f*cked!

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Seriously ???? FFS

"How much more evidence does Australia need that being a US 'ally' now brings no benefits in the event of a threat from a hostile power? Ask Ukraine. Ask Poland. Ask Qatar." And then there is the 'descending into a fascist autocracy' thing. Ditch #AUKUS. #auspol www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/12/c...

So important to celebrate this rather rare result! #GoodNews\#endangeredSpecies back from the brink of #extinction More please!

I saw the video, I forgot autoplay was on. What dawned on me after the initial shock subsided is that children suffer these SAME injuries in their classrooms. Other children watch their classmates suffer the same injuries as Charlie Kirk. No child should experience that. Ever. Regulate guns.

Trés bien! Bonne chance.

So exactly what do Australians get for $1 million a year? So far: - a dodgy report that repackages ECAJ talking points, has no evidence base, and pushes #ZionistMcCarthyism - the Envoy in witness protection after her family trust links to Advance revealed - failure to call out Nazis in our streets.
