“People often stop me in the street, at the airport, at footy games, and commend me for being brave,” writes Senator Fatima Payman in new book, A Time for Bravery, presented by Australia Institute Press. Read the full extract of Senator Fatima Payman’s essay here: thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

No wonder Minister Murray Watt is 'huffing and puffing' to try to speed up passage of his propose environmental laws through the Senate - the longer and harder we look at the Bills, the more pitfalls and holes we see. 👇Take 'net gain' for example. 👇#auspol

To all of my BlueSky friends, I don't really pitch or sell things on this platform, but I want to share this fundraiser. I've spent some time in the Wayuu community and the people there are lovely and warm. But the children are at a severe disadvantage. gofund.me/8e4f56eb2

Save the CSIRO Our national science & research agency is now facing more job cuts than under Tony Abbott Call on the Albanese Govt to fund the scientists & research we need to tackle big issues we face from climate to food security and everything in between www.davidpocock.com.au/save_our_csiro

This is obscene. The challenges facing the nation means we should be scaling up CSIRO, not cutting it to shreds. While we are sending billions to the US for nuclear shipyards, our science and industrial base at home is falling apart for lack of funds and direction.

"Al Jazeera journalists say blasts have echoed through Gaza since the early hours... People report seeing Israeli tanks and bulldozers levelling homes...wiping out what remains of residential streets and making any Palestinian return even harder." But no big deal - there's a ceasefire, apparently.

A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

Sabotaging & smashing our biggest & best science & research organisations is exactly what our worst enemy would do. Why can't we have a govt which creates hope, creativity & cleverness & a better future instead of a festival of fossil fuel and Trump toadying? Boo. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"Like many #whistleblowers, Elias says he never sought to be a whistleblower. He believes he was just trying to do his job properly. ...he has paid a heavy price." Must read from @nickfeik.bsky.social on how an unaccountable government attacks diligent staff and erodes public trust. #auspol

Since signing the Paris Agreement, Australia’s gas & oil production surged 77% - the biggest relative increase among the top 15 producers - driven by a doubling of gas. Meanwhile, it’s bidding to host next year's UN climate talks. Make it make sense. oilchange.org/publications...

www.theguardian.com/environment/... this “Secure the Bag” era, when the rich keep taking chips off the table to build rockets and bunkers while we quibble about feeding poor people, will not be forgiven. we’re rushing into a future in which humanity…our kids…may survive, but in drastic circumstances

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese has responded to Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon after he called her a “witch”, saying, “If I had the power to make spells... I would use it to stop your crimes once and for all.” 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/ihrv92

Yes. If people remember one thing from my book I hope it's the name of Louise Webster, the co-discoverer of black holes. She has been written out of the history of science. She had one of the first successful liver transplants in Australia but sadly died in Sydney at 49. (She was an astronomer)

There are growing calls for developed nations that produce the most gas emissions to take more responsibility.

"Israeli forces were responsible for 95 of the 122 deaths in the past year. ...Australia’s mainstream media remains largely silent about Israel’s targeting of Palestinian journalists" On Israel, our media rarely 'speaks truth to power'. They enable the cover-up. #GazaGenocide #auspol

Dingoes are distinct, they are not 'wild dogs'. They are not an ideal choice for a pet. Let's continue to protect them as dingoes in the wild & use science & small scale fencing & guardian animals to protect livestock, & respect the wishes of First Nations.
