Environment minister hands “unprecedented” penalty to Alcoa but grants national interest exemption for further clearing of WA forest.

What’s one way we can rein in ICE? We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty. Watch.

New Zealnders want bottom trawling banned, Minister Shane Jones defends it. Headline says it all. Polling shows 78% of New Zealanders want bottom trawling banned in high seas of the South Pacific - where NZ is the only country still bottom trawling. www.rnz.co.nz/internationa...

The Albanese Government's new Single Assessment System is failing older Australians. They deserve better than RoboAgedCare - but the government's new algorithmic Integrated Assessment Tool is overriding the opinion of experienced assessors. We don't know how it assesses risk, need, or complexity.

While the people demand protection, NZ remains the ONLY nation bottom trawling the South Pacific high seas - blocking progress. New polling data shows: 78% want a ban on bottom trawling in the South Pacific high seas 79% want an ocean sanctuary in the same region The proof is in the polling.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied on her US citizenship application. She checked the no box when asked if she had ever procured anyone for prostitution. She had been trafficking since 1994. This could get another 25 years added to her sentence.

Kew residents have had to put up with hooning and damage to local roads for years. It’s not just the noise disruption in a beautiful part of Kooyong, it's the knowledge that it’s only a matter of time before we see a nasty accident from unsafe driving and racing.

"Protected" When words become worse than meaningless: a cover for just continuing to kill off whatever little nature is left.

The CHILDREN? "There was very much a class aspect to this. A lot of the YOUNG GIRLS came from broken homes and poor backgrounds. Some of them had been abused in their own families. CHILDREN WERE VIEWED, BASICALLY, AS OBJECTS … THEY WERE VIEWED AS DISPOSABLE CHILDREN." AUCTIONABLE CHILDREN!!

#auspol hey Australia, look at this!

Wow! This OpEd in The Aus has thinly veiled derision of women all thru it. It uses the argument that women can’t deliver brave leadership bc “men wage conflict openly while women covertly undermine or ostracise their enemies." 2 words- Epstein, Weinstein & I’m not sure Sussan Ley would agree either

Not mine, but had to share

We need Margaret Pomeranz to review Melania.

It's absolutely true. That arrogance and impunity are demonstrated by the extraordinary number of compromising photos they allowed to be taken of them (presumably by Maxwell). They either had no recognition of the immorality of it, or they just didn't care.

Indiscriminate death traps. An estimated... - 1161 protected grey seals were caught. - 81 critically endangered angel sharks. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ou... It is vitally important that the Dept for Ag, Fisheries & the Marine introduce byelaws to prohibit the use of tangle nets.

Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda. Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Mandelson's BERR as a proto-DOGE within the New Labour government, tearing up regulations to suit business interests apart from personal kickbacks, this is the growth-at-all-costs mindset every government has clung to from Thatcher onwards something is truly broken when growth costs us society

The thing is, you didn't have to be Nostradamus to see it. You just had to be independent of the ultra-rich. Unfortunately, the great majority of the media is in the plutocrats' pockets. So the people pointing it out are shunned. In 2009 I tried and tried to get the BBC to pick this up. But ...⛔🤐

"[A new British intelligence report] echoes warnings some of us have made for years, only to be dismissed as nutters, doomsayers and extremists." "Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse...” You won't find more crucial reading than this.

Heatwaves kill more Australians than floods, fires and cyclones combined. If we named them, we could treat them as the public health emergencies they are. Should we name them after the fossil fuel companies that contribute to them? Tell me here: www.moniqueryan.com.au/heatwave_pet...
