Australian scientist who alerted world that COVID is airborne wins top science prize When the WHO falsely claimed in March 2020 that COVID wasn’t airborne, Professor Lidia Morawska took action—organising 239 scientists worldwide to warn about SARS-CoV-2 airborne spread and urge global recognition.

📢 Thousands of Indigenous households across northern Australia live with prepaid power, where disconnection can happen at any moment. Now a new report has warned that without stronger protections, the system could turn deadly in extreme heat. SBS’s Christopher Tan travelled to the Kimberley to see…

Every worker deserves super. Under 18's pay taxes and contribute to our economy, why shouldn't they be paid super?

Spoke to @australia.theguardian.com about what DEWR's job numbers continue to quietly reveal: that the main purpose of employment services is to outsource billions of dollars to punish people, rather than help them into meaningful opportunities www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Delivering on an election promise by handing over my 2008-2025 election night tie to the Museum of Australian Democracy, Old Parliament House, Canberra. When I paid $20 for it in 2008, never thought it would end up in a museum.

It is time to stop referring to the National Party as the “junior partner” in the Coalition. Considering the Voice and now where the Libs are heading on net-zero by 2050, it is clear who is in charge. #auspol

A word that has become a euphemism for promoting and selling things without data or evidence

BREAKING Australians formally adopt Net Zero Interest Policy in The Nationals, with complete disinterest in most of them offset by bemusement at whatever self serving bullshit Barnaby Joyce throws up every second week #auspol

For the last quarter of a century, there has always been at least one person living off-planet. I just think that's incredibly cool. apnews.com/article/inte...

Now this is interesting…

A hidden group of koalas is found for the first time in a remote area of the New South Wales Snowy Mountains.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Dr Forbes McGain is a legend in healthcare #sustainability, but amidst a huge amount of research, this particularly struck me- 'We may all be trying to buy fair trade coffee and bananas, but do we know where our surgical instruments are made, and under what conditions?' 👀

Devastating. Dr Maurice Atalifo notes the whole Pacific falls under the safe anaesthesia guideline of 5 anaesthetists per 100,000 population. And it's getting worse- those 'above' the guideline, like Tokelau, fall to zero between 2023 and 2025 when their ONE anaesthetist leaves.

@nickfeik.bsky.social just wanted to make sure you didn't miss this latest development. Truly, incredible stuff.

Vaccines still play an important role, but protection against infection wanes fast when you look at the data. The virus is still everywhere, evolving, and getting better at evading immunity. Layered prevention is key. Clean air, good masks, and vaccines keep us safer. #CleanAir #Vaccines #MaskUp😷

🧵New 2025 data shows COVID-19 vaccines continue to provide effective, durable protection. 2024–25 COVID vaccines offered strongest protection at 4 weeks: 44.7% effectiveness vs infection, 45.1% vs emergency department visits, and 57.5% vs hospitalisation or death. Source: archive.li/hNTLQ

I try to be professional on this platform but there are times, like now, when it hits me hard on a visceral level that we are in the midst of a catastrophic global public health crisis and it seems, as a species, we've somehow decided that ignoring it is the best plan we've got.

Grog's rule of privatisation: "The day you decide to allow the private sector deliver a public service is also the day you should set the future date for the Royal Commission into abuses in the system."

The life expectancy of Indigenous Australians is 9 years below that of everyone else, but sure you go right ahead with your race baiting as a community service, Mr Murdoch.

Egads, we are headed for an era of everyone polluting non-stop with on-site fossil fuel generators running 24/7 because Elon did it first :( www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

Well done Shafaq Aftab. When a reviewer stole her work and published it under his own name, she fought for a YEAR to get the journal to retract the paper. Just wondering why it took Wiley a YEAR to do this. 🧪 #academicsky retractionwatch.com/2025/10/03/w...

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment. An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action. A disinformation machine as our journalism fails. A bias machine as fascism takes root. A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

Listen up, Australia! who hasn't listened to the Sunday Shot, because you need to? #auspol The post covid corrosion of our Country; webdock; NPC dumping Chris Hedges address + more corruption topics are discussed by guests Greg Jericho, Bogan Intelligensa & Ronni Salt. youtu.be/lcYUot1qnNs?...

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility They kidnapped a disabled child!

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record. Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

A system entirely designed around cruelty.

I’ve tried to get some details on our critical mineral strategy, but it turns out information about our rocks are matters of national security 🤷‍♂️. I have appealed this #FOI refusal. We have the right to know. 2/2 #auspol

Oh no, here we go again. Are we heading for another (rushed) agreement to solidify our role as the world’s quarry? We should export processed minerals, not raw! #ValueAddHere. 1/2 #auspol

The cruelty of saying “hospitals are ready” by increasing ICU beds and body bags… instead of fixing the ventilation. Just mull over that for a bit #MedSky.

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

Guess which idiot is now seeking this induction pack under FOI?

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Autism may have subtypes that differ in their genetics and how the condition presents.

The first rule of Australian Parliamentary Sports Club is you better be careful about what you say about Australian Parliamentary Sports Club. Or else

Horrifying. #Portland

Watch this. I strive to be this clear and effective. Best line — “A temper tantrum disguised as an ideology.”
