There is no gun "debate". There are not two equal sides. It is almost everyone vs almost no one. 70% of Australians wanted tougher gun laws *before* Bondi. More below, full results here: australiainstitute.org.au/report/polli...

“John Howard’s contribution, with its focused criticisms of Albanese, was unbecoming for a former prime minister. The effect of his intervention was to give his assent to the Coalition to go full bore on politicising Bondi.” www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

If you're scared this tragedy will by weaponised by those pushing hatred, division & control, same. It's a pattern that can change nations. We've already seen Netanyahu claim the Muslim who charged the shooters was Jewish. Empathy, patience and truth. Everything else is unhelpful

Climate emergency. No shelters in AU can withstand CC increasing intensity. No one can afford insurance. Tasmania Gov. commissions a billion dollar sports stadium so 23,000 people can fry/freeze to watch AFL. Social Services? www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/state/t...? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Merit before mates? Yeah .. nah. Here’s how @albomp.bsky.social is smothering the “No Favourites” Briggs Review recommendations to end cronyism, patronage via “jobs for mates”. Albo is emerging as a true duopolist. 👇Centre for Public Integrity.

We're in a national emergency, but we're not talking or acting as if we are. This dangerous disconnect is why we convened the @nebriefing.bsky.social. Our goal was to reset the national conversation on the climate and nature crises, cutting through the sea of misinformation holding us back. ⬇️

The US dollar still dominates trade for now. But new research suggests Australia’s banks are unprepared for a world where China’s currency plays a much larger role. 👉 theconversation.com/china-r...

So I got to attend a Q&A with Tom Morello (guitar legend of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE fame), and from him I heard a very smart creative lesson, applicable to more than just musicians -- thought I'd share it, and some further thoughts and stories here:

GREED STILL THE RULER!! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘Petrol cars convert just 16–25% of the energy in the fuel into actual motion. The rest is wasted — mostly as heat’. ‘Going electric is like swapping a leaky bucket for a shiny new one with no holes. Most of the energy you put in is energy you can actually use.’ theconversation.com/this-widely-...

Your daily reminder that the fossil fuel industry is propped up by billions of dollars in U.S. government subsidies and a multimillion dollar campaign to spread climate disinformation. 💵

The cost. My @smh @theage cartoon.

How can a more expensive energy source ( Gas Coal) reduce energy prices??? Go figure www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Murujuga is the heartland of the Ngarluma and Yindjibarndi peoples, and they retain a deep and powerful spiritual and cultural connection to this place. The publicly accessible areas are a small sample of over a million carvings here.

This is Murujuga National Park, site of the largest collection of rock art carvings in the world. The oldest depiction of a human face anywhere in the world is HERE. The LATEST dated specimens here are hundreds of years older than the Pyramids. This is Gondwanalands history, encapsulated.🧵

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

These hurricanes will get worse, if that is conceivable, because we continue to approve and extend coal and gas ventures. Australia is among the *very worst* offenders globally, yet the Albanese govt is only interested in expanding fossil fuel exports.

Here's me. '“People aren’t buying their shit anymore”: They think they can make you forget what you’ve seen'

"they fail to link climate action with things that matter to people: food poverty, fuel poverty, air pollution, inequality, job insecurity, lack of housing, unfordable or non-existent healthcare... they are constrained by only being able to offer pragmatic, ‘politically feasible’ centrism?"

A wee little thing we have been working on over the past few month is now up and going - @thepointau.bsky.social. Where to go for @amyremeikis.bsky.social's live blog, for analysis, fact checks, and details about things that might not be in "the news" but should be thepoint.com.au

That's right folks, focus on the real story (LNP is moribund): ~80% of Australia's contribution to global carbon emissions is embodied in fossil fuel exports The @albomp.bsky.social gov's ceaseless enabling of NEW/EXTENSIONS of Coal & Gas projects (31🤯 & counting) is fuelling climate disaster
