So politicians want school kiddies to be taught more ‘Australian values’? Which ones are those? Alcoholism, toxic masculinity, colonialism, anti-science, anti-expert, ecocide, racism, genocide of First Nations peoples, banning public protest, profit at the expense of affordable homes? Which ones?

please..

There's a Trump Tower in the centre of Chicago and it's actually a pretty nice building. But Chicagoans despise the huge gold lettering on it, much as they mostly despise the man behind the name. Gold Coast is the glitzy offspring of 1950's Qld, so they might just love it, but the rest of us...

Last year, for the first time, alcohol and gambling companies, and their lobby groups, donated more than $5m to the major parties. Looks like they are getting a reasonable return on their investment.

Secular equality, confronting the structural realities of class & disadvantage, and resisting Islamophobia and other forms of radicalised exclusion are not competing agendas but inseparable pillars of a single civic covenant: the promise of the “fair go” blakandblack.com/2026/02/22/t...

This is one of the most disturbing lapses of human research ethics I have seen in the modern era.

Lol

Is this good

There's a little known memorial about the Vietnamese people under the south pylon of Brisbane's Story Bridge dedicated to the loss of life & the triumph of those fleeing war. Ignore the haters. Vietnamese have made Queensland & Australia stronger. #qldpol www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/que...

Thanks Chris. Climate change is mankind's greatest threat. So when does the Albanese government start rejecting new coal & gas projects?

Louise Moillon (c. 1610–1696) French painter in the Baroque era. One of the best still life painters of her time, she was trained by her father as she was unable to attend academies as a woman- who were thought to lack the ability required for artists #WomensArt

People should be able to go to a mosque, to protest, to celebrate Ramadan, to live their lives without looking over their shoulder, and without the threat of white-supremacist violence.

And the Anti-Semitism Royal Commission’s terms of reference must be expanded to explicity address all forms of racist hate and white supremacist violence.

The government could start by formally responding to the National Anti-Racism Framework delivered by the Australian Human Rights Commission over a year ago. If they are serious about tackling racism, that work cannot sit on a shelf.

This is a person who has been targeting Black and brown communities for years — and who remains at large. Senator Fatima Payman has also been targeted. And now during Ramadan, Muslim communities are being threatened, with references to the Christchurch massacre.

This week, when I saw the letters sent to Lakemba Mosque, I immediately knew that it was the same perpetrator. The same distinct handwriting, language and misspellings, and the same stamps made using a bullet dipped in ink.

It's even WORSE—Alcoa's been ILLEGALY CLEARING jarrah forests for 15 YEARS since 2011 as it disputed fed env dept interpretation of EPBC laws Despite extended, flagrant enviro destruction, Watt grants a national-interest exemption in 19 days flat cos "critical minerals deal" 🙏 @lisacox.bsky.social

A massive global study shows that species turnover has slowed by about one-third since the 1970s. "Nature functions like a self-repairing engine, constantly swapping out old parts for new ones. But we found this engine is now grinding to a halt." www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

Well, it’s official. Johnson Legal is off to the High Court of Australia for the first ever climate case to be heard before the Court. We are representing Hunter Valley residents defending their win against coal company MACH Energy. Follow the case here 👇👇👇 www.johnsonlegal.au/newsfeed/mac...

Here's our documentary footage of what really happened at the protests against Isaac Herzog's state visit to Australia

Yeah, it's not rocket science. You create a system that rewards narcissism, psychopathy greed and detachment, you get the worst people in the world ruling it. Seems both inherent, and obvious, really.

"It’s time for state and federal governments in Australia to do what they’re elected to do: put communities first, instead of gas companies desperately trying to prolong their operations while the planet burns.” - Ellen Roberts Read the full piece on The Point: https://theaus.in/46jpssm

I have written to the Ministers ahead of today’s Women’s Safety meeting: stop the murders with funding, not more talk.  We need immediate, funded action on housing, policing, alcohol and gambling, and national data.

I spoke to @gingerandhoney.bsky.social this week about the cuts to Victoria’s arts funding ecosystem. The cuts, the uncertainty and lack of transparency have left a cloud over what was Australia’s creative heart. The Melbourne Advantage is over. We’ll see if other cities pick up the pieces.

Standing ovation for Bedford Borough Council.

“When you see how the Australian Gov treats its own climate vulnerable communities, it is not shocking to see that it’s going to treat climate vulnerable communities who are their neighbours, even worse than they treat their own citizens when climate impacts hit,” #environmentalvandals #auspol

They are doing their utmost. Shoebridge, Pocock and Pocock, Ryan and others working as hard as they can. Thank god for these courageous people. #auspol

The Greens warned the hate laws were biased and would target the wrong people. It took less than a month for police to raid Dissent Bar and prove every concern right. Laws supposedly about antisemitism are being used against anti-fascists.

For those of you keen for more revelations from the oil-drenched #AtlasFiles 🔥⛽️☠️here’s the full clip of me at the #Auspol Senate hearings on the organisation and funding of climate and energy disinformation. Fun answering questions from Sen Roberts (?!) & Canavan. ✊🏼 youtu.be/VwuqxfyCYj0?...

ICYMI, cos the Albanese govt sure would like you to have missed the special carve out for the fossil fuel industry buried in Australia's new EPBC laws that @kirstyhowey.bsky.social exposes here

Now? My @smh cartoon.

One Nation, Liberals, Labor, they are all the same. They refuse to take on corporate power, refuse to invest in public housing and essential public goods, then play politics with immigration to divide and distract us.

“When you put a tax on something you get less of it” says Angus. Yes Angus that’s why Labor put a tax on carbon 20 years ago to STOP FOSSIL FUEL POLLUTION and what did you and your venal mates do in government? 😏 #ABC730

Just say what you really mean — it's Muslims you want to target.

Thinking of Jon Kudelka and those who are in Tasmania today (awful place, never go there) attending his farewell. So very sad that we will never see another new, brilliant toon from him. Love to his family and friends. 🤍
