Crisafulli's Queensland government has pulled out of a wind farm project because it "doesn't align" with their "energy roadmap". Of course it doesn't. They're in the fossil fuel industry's pocket. 😡 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

NEW: Australia’s sovereign wealth fund now owns more than $100 million worth of shares in Palantir, a controversial tech company that’s powering the Trump administration’s anti-immigration efforts.

On Christmas Eve, the minister for the environment, Murray Watt, quietly gave the go-ahead for Korea Zinc to kill a certain number of threatened and endangered species every year, writes Bob Brown. satpa.pe/246eV7V

The folly of inviting Israel’s President, Isaac Herzog, to Australia. My column for the ABC.

“.. U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard speaks on the phone while standing inside a vehicle loaded with boxes outside the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center after the FBI executed a search warrant there.” @reuters.com

Noted pentacostalist Scott Morrison, in Jerusalem, stirs up anti-Muslim prejudice after Bondi massacre. Irresponsible. Religiously intolerant. Every Australian of good faith is trying to stop ancient “holy wars” being incited here. Royal Commission investigation has yet to start.

Two people have been abducted from Scotland in the middle of the night by the US military. Despite an order from our highest court that they be kept here. The Scottish Government must show that actions have consequences by evicting American troops from their base at publicly-owned Prestwick Airport

"When a crowd of Aboriginal peoples can be targeted in a city square and the response remains a quiet procedural shrug, it is worth asking what kind of security we are really protecting, and for whom."

But will the National Endowment for Democracy contribute like it usually does to colour revolutions?

Is one of them called the SS Epstein?

The reason Anne Frank's story has resonated with so many people over so many years is not because circumstances have to be exactly the same as her's for anyone to care, but because anything remotely like it is wrong, and societies moving in that direction should oppose it well before they get there.

It is 85 seconds to midnight. With [waves hands] everything going on, scientists have advanced the Doomsday Clock, saying Earth is closer than it has ever been to destruction

Trump just reposted a tweet calling Alex Pretti a "domestic terrorist"

Email Penny Wong: www.amnesty.org.au/act-now/aust... To the stock text, I added: "By inviting President Herzog, our Prime Minister shames Australia and associates Jewish Australians with the crimes of Israel. That does not make Australians in general and Jewish Australians in particular, safer."

The days of CD music worked pretty well. Those with money bought the CDs. Those who didn't downloaded them. Music industry peeps got rich and artists got paid a decent amount and poor people still got music. Now artists get nothing. But streaming is brilliant, apparently

OPINION @chrislhayes.bsky.social “People hate this”. The aftershocks from the public murders of Renee Good & Alex Pretti by #ICE & Border Control agents in #Minneapolis continue to upend the #Trump regime. Public sentiment & #media coverage intermixing. #fascism #USA youtube.com/watch?v=0Cgp...

ABC’s Americas editor John Lyons tears into Trump for blaming Ilhan Omar after a syringe attack on her. After calling her “garbage”, Trump says she “probably had herself sprayed”. Lyons says Trump is “adding fuel to the fire” and warns of “dark and dangerous times” in the US. 💥

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

The seconds before Alex Pretti was murdered by Trump’s violent ICE goons. Trump, Noem, Miller, and everyone who supports this violence has the blood of Americans on its hands. SHAME.

Read it. Your great god Labor, at work. johnmenadue.com/post/2026/01...

Bad guys with guns. My @smh cartoon.

Was lovely to chat with the 7am podcast team about why a huge clean export project flipped to powering data centres It's all part of the bigger story of tech eating up the resources of climate action, diverted away from eliminating fossil fuels and towards fuelling a growth-obsessed hype industry.

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

That’s why I keep saying that these dudes have been caught in so many honey traps, that we should just call them Pooh Bear 🐻 🍯

Video footage of Pretti’s killing refutes claims from officials that the protester was attacking law enforcement or “brandishing” his gun.

Board of Peace meeting adjourned.

Don’t think for a minute the rest of the world isn’t watching, in horror, bewildered at the pace of moral & democratic collapse and the utter evaporation of political resistance. Europe has seen this before. It is no coincidence this front page follows Holocaust Memorial Day.

Wow. The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

The judge can’t do anything more. That’s part of the problem our country has. Our Constitution puts the duty of enforcing all federal level judicial decisions on the Executive Branch. Therefore it’s the people committing the crimes that are in charge of arresting each other.

They’re the Trump files. Epstein happens to be in them.

#EPSTEIN HE IS IN IT, MANY TIMES RELEASE THE DAMN EPSTEIN FILES NOW!! COME ON JUDGE. WE ARE TIRED OF THE LIES AND DELAYS!

Walz: I think Kristi Noem probably should go back to South Dakota, not have any dogs, and just kind of ride things out

"The split means the Nationals will lose staff and resources and take a pay cut as they are no longer part of the official opposition, although Littleproud plans to appeal to the prime minister to keep up his party’s funds." Hell to the NO! #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Remember when it was only metaphorical?

Would anybody be surprised if ICE used tear gas in Italy during the Milano Olympics? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It's not that they are too chicken. They have no interest in going after drug cartels. Too many of them are physically dependent upon the drugs that their bodies are addicted to. Over 50% of ICE thugs failed their drug tests.

“This is a preschool you stupid motherf*ckers!” (From Somali Snaps)

Under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations—of which the US is a party—foreign state consular premises are considered “inviolable,” which means federal agents cannot enter without the permission of the mission's head.
