Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So it’s only a terrorist attack if it’s other cultures living here not our own indigenous peoples, just ‘un-Australian.’ Not a peep of outrage from media, politicians or sportspeople. #auspol

There have been recent reports that an American company, Energy Fuels, is bidding to takeover Australian Strategic Materials (ASM). The takeover bid is subject to a number of conditions, including government approvals. Read the full piece on The Point: theaus.in/3NEw6TA

I support these sentiments, betrayed is an appropriate descriptor. To add, our Australian political landscape feels infested with lobbyists and os interference eroding public trust in the very system meant to serve and protect us. #auspol

Time for a boycott. Given the owner of the Estée Lauder group is heavily invested in Trump taking Greenland, we can do our bit by boycotting his brands. Mac cosmetics Clinique Jo Malone Aerin Bobbi Brown And many more Original link on @louddaughters on Insta. #boycott #boycottesteelauder

Here's @ronnisalt.bsky.social. "The dark arts"

Corporations not paying tax in this country is a huge rort that desperately needs to stop. We need politicians with the right mettle to stand up and actually govern for the people. #auspol @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social

Has @albomp.bsky.social addressed this lunacy yet? At some point Australia is going to have to decide where its allegiances lie. With law abiding NATO members or a rogue state dictatorship led by a child rapist and convicted felon. The future of Australia hangs on this question.

Major party politicians are betraying us - but more importantly they are betraying our children and grandchildren. Stop approving new fossil fuel projects. Stop logging native forests. Organise. Campaign. Vote. Start today! #auspol

The horrific reality of a society whose political 'leaders' are captured by fossil fuel industry donors and don't respect and act on science and ever more urgent scientific warnings. Vote for a safer, science- and evidence-based future. We have the power to change the future.

When is it enough? @earthlyeducation.bsky.social thanks for your posts.

A bit of shameless promotion of my nephews new business - Raised.The Bar - made for the #brazilianjujitsu community, but I’m thinking any #martialarts group that needs new healthy snacks in their dojo should seek out a sample & check out the instagram. Based in Northern Rivers area, Aussie made.

Australians are rightly shocked and disgusted by Sussan Ley accusing the Labor govt of not showing enough grief at the Bondi attack. The sick politicisation of terrorism by the Liberals - ignoring calls for unity - has been so ugly. Days before Christmas. Shame on all of them!

Sussan Ley is clearly so far out of her depth that she deserves to be sacked by her party, purely for her own good. This is perhaps the most contemptible thing any political leader has ever said in this country. The sooner she f*cks off to obscurity the better for Australia.

Linking the march across the bridge to the massacre is disgusting and everyone doing so should be deeply ashamed of their giving tacit support for genocide www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I couldn’t agree more - “Chris Minns open to arming Jewish security group with links to Israel” - how more decisive and inflammatory can we get?

This is one of Albanese’s three great betrayals of the Australian people. 1. Woodside over the environment and indigenous heritage 2. US military complex over the entire budget and our sovereignty 3. Gambling industry over the most vulnerable.

Look at this excellent little ad @ronnisalt.bsky.social made for us for the #SundayShot! Join @michaelpascoe01.bsky.social, @alicektg.bsky.social, @boganintel.bsky.social and me tomorrow morning (@davemilbo.bsky.social is away). See if you can pick my great technical save...(lo).

Buy my Greek cookbook for Christmas presents and I’ll donate 100% of my profits from your purchase to PARA to help Palestinian refugee families from Gaza in Australia. It’s available everywhere. 300+ page hardcover. All vegetarian/vegan recipes + how to make gluten free.

Excellent article for reminding everyone why new gas fields need to be banned and gas companies need to be taxed out of existence. www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

Sunday Shot is about to start. Jo and I have @roycerk2.bsky.social, who is just back from COP in Brazil, and Lorena Allam, for a look at the world news of the week. Join us!

Ahh, what?!! Who is setting the agenda here?

What a brain-dead dumb, completely shite appointment. @tonyburkemp.bsky.social

Yet another political crony-boy cannons into a funds-starved public cultural institution. Weapons lobbyist & previously-not-notably-arts-adjacent political pensioner Christopher Pyne appointed to our National Library Council.

‘Sad day for publicly funded science’: up to 350 more jobs to go at the CSIRO

While this is a parody, billboards such as these should be up all over the world. #taxtherich

‘The Donald Project’ in regional Victoria, ie: #criticalminerals out past #Minyip ‘Selling our soul for essentially nothing’ - why would @albomp.bsky.social do this to our farmers and agriculture industry? www.instagram.com/reel/DQsZQ5L...

Thanks to @earthlyeducation.bsky.social for their always illuminating posts. Here’s my favourite three slides from your Elon post. Tax the rich. The existence of a #trillionaire is obscene and a low point for the world.

Tomorrow's #SundayShot has @mariecolemanao.bsky.social on the Dismissal, @mrdtjames.bsky.social on the Victorian Treaty...and I went to @punterspolitics.bsky.social's dinner in Canberra. Tune in (and like, subscribe and donate!). www.youtube.com/@TheSundayShot

Jazz aficionados and history buffs might be interested in this 1938 edition of Charles Delaunay’s HOT Discography. Not sure what I’ll do with it yet. #jazzhistory #jazzmusic #jazz #music

This might interest history buffs of the Australian Labor Movement. Songbook edited by Clive Holding and C.Watson in 1956. @australianlabor.bsky.social

Unpacking book boxes held in storage for a very long time - current box full of my musician father’s old music books and journals. But this periodical caught my eye, love the name! We need more colourful names for our journals etc. We need more colourful names on our journals! #music #folk

If Australia's higher education institutions simply can't stop themselves from investing in weapons manufacturers, let's get Senator @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social's End Dirty Uni Partnerships) Bill 2024 to do the job (read ALL her 🧵)

Phew, finally done with my last essay for the year: ‘Can anthropology ever be autonomous of state influence?’ - and submitted with time to spare! #study #anthropology

The latest sharp take from @theshot.net.au's superstar contributor @ronnisalt.bsky.social.

Is this the future you really want? If not you must get involved and actively resist. Tell your politicians, local representatives, state/federal govts again and again.

Wow! Our domestic concerns, especially climate change and its devastating effects on everything from environmental loss, liveability to food supply should be a primary focus over a relationship with a corrupt foreign administration. #auspol @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social

The Sunday Shot starts at 9am with me, @instanterudite.bsky.social, @sarahschwartz.bsky.social, Scott Burchill, and an interview with Pulitzer prize winning war correspondent Chris Hedges.

Excellent interview with Chris Hedges by Dave Milner for #TheShot

With an abundance of lemons from the garden atm, today’s cake is a classic Lemon Cake with lemon icing. Perfect for Spring. #food #cake #lemons

‘AI, no worries it’ll be great’ & ‘Digital ID? Nothing to worry about!’ How’s that going? So many breaches, so many compromises. We keep galloping ahead before we fully understand what it is we’re doing. It wouldn’t hurt take a step back for once. @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social

Hey @albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social When are you going to start charging these corporate cowboys and their ilk tax?! Every company with even a toehold in this country should be paying tax - enough is enough!
