these videos of the Australian doctors in Gaza have been going viral. They are volunteers with PANZMA (Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association) If you can help by donating that would be great You can find the link to donate here panzma.org

Listen to these brave Australian doctors speaking out about the horrid state of Gaza. We must Sanction Israel.

And fair play to Smriti Mandhana, 100 of 50 balls!

Our Beth Mooney with a champion innings 💙

Today's final approval of the North West Shelf is a climate, economic, and energy security disaster. Australia Institute analysis shows the 45-year expansion is equivalent to building 12 new coal power stations. @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

Disgraceful. No govt that actually cares about climate change would do this. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

LIVE In a hearing on Labor's Bill where they are seeking to deny migrants the rights to natural justice. More below.

can you imagine trying to convince the average skepti-dude in the year 2010 that this is what summer europe will look like in 2025

We'll expel an ambassador from one country based on secret 'credible evidence'; but not the ambassador of another country openly committing a genocide. Tell me our government is compromised without telling me our government is compromised.

On LBC @zoejardiniere.bsky.social lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning Palestine Action as terrorists as an abuse of state power. Well said.

Let us all bear witness to our government's shameful complicity. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The International court of Justice has made it clear, states are liable for failing to address the climate crisis. Looking at you Minister Watt and Prime Minister Albanese.

Congratulations to our Lissy and Samara on their brilliant #3MT presentations today!

Sanctioning the messenger is not an appropriate response to the horrific genocide in Gaza. Sanctioning Israel is the correct response. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A beautiful account of the fight to get justice for Jean Charles de Menezes against institutional obstruction. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

My Hottest 100 votes. No particular order. Lots of protest and praise songs.

An excellent explainer of the restrictions we now face in NSW to peacefully protest. It begs the question, why are our elected representatives so scared of the public they are supposed to be serving? www.theguardian.com/global/video...

Somebody needs to have a stern word with the oceans about the importance of gas as a transition fuel.

Just watched Seaspiracy on Netflix. I learned many things like there is no such thing as sustainable fishing, there is no dolphin-safe tuna and that most of the ocean's plastic waste is as a result of the fishing industry. I shan't be buying fish anymore.

Call to Action: Object to the North West Shelf extension "provisional" approval* For those that have capacity to respond (make phone calls, send emails) in the coming days. Please share docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This decision is inexplicable. I'm very angry that the science is continuing to be ignored by those elected to represent us. It will cost us all, dearly. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Environment Minister Murray Watt will approve the 50-year extension of one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel projects, Woodside's North West Shelf. Along with releasing 4 billion tonnes of emissions, this decision will result in $215 billion worth of gas given away royalty-free. #auspol

Again: Australian contributions to the F-35 jet program are valued at $5bn, and involve 75 Australian companies. Australia invests $1.7bn annually into the Israeli economy. Words are not enough. We need sanctions and we need them now!

@essendonfc.bsky.social please make a pitch for Big Ange. I'm happy to wait a couple of years.

It’s a very dark reflection on the state of Australian politics that Labor (including Albanese) seem more satisfied with defeating Bandt than Dutton. Progressive voters are tricking themselves into thinking this election was a great result, but Australia’s centre of gravity keeps going right.

Sunday's Coburg v Carlton clash at Coburg is Vicki Cleary Day, a significant day in the campaign to end men's violence against women. Players & families of other women lost to violence will observe a moment's silence at 12.50pm. Please show your support. www.vickiclearyday.com.au

Tony Benn would have turned 100 today. A rare, courageous and continuous voice for peace, Tony was driven by the radical idea that all human life had equal value. We all have our inspirations – and he was mine. Happy birthday Tony.

Stop Killing Women - a set of national rallies being held on Sat March 15 2025 around Australia. Check google or instagram > www.instagram.com/sherelemoody... for details on your nearest city or town's events, they're happening everywhere. Make your voice heard. Stop killing women. #SheMatters

Watch. Then vote wisely. No. Vote. Is. Ever. Wasted! Why? Preferential voting, of course. If you don't know how this *actually* works, watch this www.youtube.com/watch?v=bley.... Thanks, @thejuicemedia.bsky.social.

Victorian friends, this is important. Undemocratic preference harvesting needs to stop. Don't let the current Vic gov delay this reform.

Annabel is something else.

If this is to become the new way to communicate our science, I'm all in.

Great story of how Mel Jones and her dedicated friends organised for the Afghan women's cricket team and their families to find asylum in Australia. www.cricket.com.au/news/4205580

The QLD LNP government have turbo charged this absolute bullshit here. It doesn’t matter how many laws you make - it doesn’t change the fact that trans people exist and always have.

We’re seeing the state capture of political parties by fossil fuel companies. They’re putting short term profits ahead of protecting the people and places we love. We need the moral courage to end this and legislate a duty of care to young people. www.smh.com.au/environment/...

A program in Brazil that gives a monthly cash sum to families living in poverty has an unexpected — and welcome result. A new study shows that it is dramatically reducing tuberculosis rates.

I'm Garth, retired Head of Dept in a large public hospital & Senior Clinical Lecturer. I join with many others in making urgent plea for the immediate safe release of Dr Hossam Abu Safiya and all detained health workers #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya

Look what can be done. Make polluters pay Australia #auspol

A reminder that the Vic Govt has used scares over anti-semitism to propose laws that are mostly going to affect climate-change protests.

Still checking my work emails on Christmas Day and slightly disappointed there aren't any.

Rarely has a government promised so little and managed to deliver less.

Sutherland is the best all-rounder in the world right now, no question. And she's Victorian 💙

Nature is incapable of responding kindly to such stupidity.

Scared weird little nation we are

Australian universities are doing it tough again with more staff cuts coming. Too close to bruising staff losses post-COVID to be remotely comfortable. Are any countries getting the tertiary education sector right? Who are you & what is your secret? Strong community support? Smart governments? 🧪

As you read this appalling data, please remember that every public school in Australia, bar a handful in ACT, is underfunded. Also remember that public schools educate the vast majority of our poorest & neediest kids, who are the most expensive to teach. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A great article by @maggieperry.bsky.social on how the government's social media ban will really hurt young people who can't find connections in their local communities www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/health/...

The media and advertising industry has backed in a major campaign (tv, radio, cinema, digital, and out of home advertising) to raise awareness and build public support to raise the age: mumbrella.com.au/industry-cal...
