Despite decades of conservation promises, Queensland remains a globally significant hotspot for destroying forests and native vegetation. This @theconversation.com story finds Queensland has lost at least 21% of its original woody vegetation since colonisation. theconversation.com/queenslands-...

What a shame. Melbourne Uni is one of the richest universities in Australia, surely it could pay the salary of two editors and distribution costs?! www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/04/m...

Stop killing journalists! #ceasefirenowinGaza

Stop killing journalists. @withmeaa.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMq8...

Israel has killed more journalists in the last 22 months than were killed in the US civil war, WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan combined. The numbers are simply unprecedented - these are their names Please watch the whole video. @withmeaa.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMq8...

Feel so proud to have contributed to this @withmeaa.bsky.social video with 100+ Australian journalists (all MEAA members) that honours the 180 journalists killed by Israel in Gaza. Watch it and weep. STOP. KILLING. JOURNALISTS

Targeting journalists is a war crime. As colleagues, we remember them. meaa.io/45A4vZ5

MEAA condemns targeted attacks on Gaza journalists as a war crime as toll nears 200 deaths

I feel so broken hearted about this. Five media workers were killed. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

Nearly 200 Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza. The rest work under sickness, hunger and fire to report the reality there. Meanwhile the rest of the world’s media is locked out. This is a global press freedom crisis and @withmeaa.bsky.social was proud to join the March for Humanity.

The Federal and WA governments will pay about $0.5B towards the $2.3B clean-up of Barrow Island after Chevron ended six decades of oil production on the contaminated Pilbara nature reserve. www.boilingcold.com.au/governments-...

A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency. "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die" Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

In the Torres Strait, the rising ocean floods graves, and gardens are too poisoned by salinity to grow food. It's why Uncle Paul and Uncle Pabai won't let yesterday's ruling stop them, @mikiperkins.bsky.social writes.

I wrote something about the Pabai case for Crikey: www.crikey.com.au/2025/07/16/t...

'Earlier this week, X deleted a number of posts made by its AI chatbot Grok that praised Hitler, alleged that people with Jewish surnames were prone to “extreme leftist activism, especially the anti-white variety”, and called itself “MechaHitler”.' 👀 👀 www.crikey.com.au/2025/07/11/a...

Strong statement from MEAA

🚨 Australia’s new federal Environment Minister Murray Watt has said he intends to approve a forty-year extension to Woodside’s North West Shelf gas project. With his first significant decision set to fuel almost four billion tonnes of greenhouse gas. More here: envirojustice.org.au/press-releas...

Trying to survive as a freelancer in this capitalist hellscape is really tough. Particularly if you work for Channel Nine! Freelance rates at Nine Publishing have gone backwards in real terms by 59% over the past 20 years! 👀 Sign the petition: meaa.io/4lblCar #MEAAmedia @withmeaa.bsky.social

The 'What's in it for you' analysis tells us so much about the individualistic and wealth-orientated population that some media assume Australians to be. What's in it for those living in poverty? What's in it for the natural world? I reckon lots of people are interested those questions.

Solidarity with @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social who is being cross examined in court today in a way that is distressing. 💓 Shows just how Machiavellian the ABC really can be in their treatment of a freelance journalist.
