In today’s @crikey.com.au, I wrote about the furore over Albanese’s appearance at the UK Labour conference. The problem wasn’t that it was partisan, but that he intervened in the internal politics of UK Labour, backing Starmer against a rising chorus of critics. www.crikey.com.au/2025/10/06/a...

"A 2019 government study found endometriosis costs Australia between $7.4 billion and $9.7 billion per year, with roughly ⅔ of that figure attributed to lost productivity." Women/afab people living in pain generally doesn't matter, of course, but what if i said it affects The Economy™? #auspol

Clean energy in remote First Nations communities is about more than reducing diesel. It's also about community flourishing; energy security and affordability; community growth and well being. That’s the finding of a new report by Pembina Institute. www.pembina.org/pub/restorin... #auspol

Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here @georgemonbiot.bsky.social @theguardian.com

How about framing it as: our way of life is putting 'the environment' (all of life) at risk? The article explains: "emissions from transport and food have barely budged since 2005" Dudes: get on your bikes, stop flying, go vegan. It's a bit urgent...

If Labor wants to be taken seriously on climate, it has to stop approving new fossil fuel projects. “Australia can be a clean energy superpower. But every new coal and gas project undermines that vision.” - Ebony Bennett, Deputy Director @ebonybennett.bsky.social #auspol

All true, this is a great article by Grace. And can we keep highlighting Trump's insults of people who support him when he says things like "smart people don't like me". When our politicians are playing pals with Trump, it's as good as condoning every harmful thing he says and does. #auspol

‘Australia is the ranked as the third highest country for climate disinformation’ ?? Just mentioned in the inquiry. In my view - that’s a direct reflection of our highly concentrated mainstream media ownership landscape ie Murdoch and Stokes #auspol

Social cohesion has never been a shared burden. It has been a demand placed on some, while others are indulged as “good people,” no matter the harm and even illegality of their rhetoric. #auspol

“The ADF says it has “no place” for rightwing extremists, despite one of its members remaining in the service for more than eight months after police found he had been involved in a gathering of the National Socialist Network, a neo-Nazi group.“ AND charged with possessing child abuse material.

"Asio warned...that 'some nationalist and racist violent extremists seek to join the Australian defence force to obtain training and capability'.” But the Albanese govt can look on the bright side: Richard Marles' bestie Pete Hegseth would very much approve of nazis in the armed services. #auspol

NEW: Over 320,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced from Gaza City by Israeli forces since Israel’s second invasion of the city of 1.3m residents in the last two years. Many of those that fled aren't able to find a place to pitch a tent in the so-called “safe zone” of al-Mawasi.

Blaming autism on women taking Tylenol while pregnant is just another example of Conservative Christian Republicans blaming women for the problems of the world. It’s a story as old as Adam and Eve. And it’s 🐂💩

*taps mic* remember: this is not just egregious lies about autism which is already bad enough it's also about ensuring pregnant people suffer by trying to make them afraid of taking painkillers don't let the ableism hide the misogyny

The person Americans elected to represent them spoke at the UN yesterday. He essentially told us we’re all a bit shit and that the USA despises us. It’s time for the rest of the world to grasp this reality and begin building relationships and systems that sidestep the US. Fuck ‘em.

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

Disappointed (putting it mildly) to see ABC joining in mainstream media’s legitimising and reputational laundering of Charlie Kirk, a man who promoted hatred, racism, misogyny, bigotry and violence. No mention of that legacy in this PUFF PIECE. Total and utter cowards. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Truly bizarre to see people attacked, shamed, and disciplined for saying things about Charlie Kirk that are 1000x less offensive than what Charlie Kirk said about people
