WHO has declared the #Ebola outbreak in DRC and Uganda a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). First time this has been done without consulting an emergency committee. Extraordinary move that speaks to how concerning the facts on the ground look right now

Many institutions, especially the Catholic Church, are using the worst parts of the law to crucify victims of childhood sexual abuse and physical assaults, writes Judy Courtin. The Marist Brothers have been particularly vicious. satpa.pe/rXBqFy7

During an interview today for TV the reporter asked me what I’m most looking forward to about the return of #Artemis II (referring I think to the science data/discoveries) and I replied that all I care about today is that the astronauts return home safely 🙏🏼

Good morning. Are we still trading our semi-functional democracies for oppressive, fascistic shitshows, just to protect a psychopathic, ruling class project attempting to swallow West Asia in the name of Jewish supremacism, or have we come to our senses and found morality yet?

Still wearing a stoopid hat and still protecting men who rape children, so you and your enlightened church can still fuck off.

“A 25% gas export tax could see Australian wholesale gas prices fall by up to 25% as gas exporters compete with each other to avoid paying the export tax by diverting supply to the untaxed Australian market.” - Dr Richard Denniss & Jack Thrower Read more on The Point: https://theaus.in/4svhXaH

Turns out casual staff shouldn’t be working for free at universities marking and doing other administrative activities. I reckon I’d be owed thousands (if not tens of thousands) for the ‘associated’ work I’ve done. No better time to join your union. www.nteu.au/News_Article...

Thousands of Iranian travellers have now been barred from entering Australia under a government ban, prompting criticism by refugee advocates and some crossbenchers.

Why aren't you holding pressers, issuing statements & inspecting the damage on camera over a number of days to ensure saturation reporting, @albomp.bsky.social? There was a singed door at a Melbourne synagogue & you were barking AnTiSeMiTiSm & there in the blink of an eye. #auspol #hypocrisy #racism

When he first got the gig as ABC MD, Hugh Marks had no experience in public broadcasting or dealing with a unionized workforce. And it shows. At the time, Denis Muller asked whether he was right for the job. The answer is now clear. theconversation.com/hugh-marks-i...

Alicia Payne MP returned from maternity leave this week after welcoming baby Joseph, her third child. In what may be a first, Alicia and Joseph asked the Prime Minister a question with Joseph in her arm (photo by Mike Bowers). Parliament is happier, smarter and kinder with Alicia in it. #auspol #qt

@davemilbo.bsky.social Is the Sunday Shot on this morning? Can't find it on UTube.

That's a wary and frightened person.

Shocking shocking shocking. Albanese goes to a mosque for a photo op, gets heckled (totally reasonable), then without evidence defames his critics as extremists

I was listening to someone talking about the fuel issue… and they actually said it was due to too much immigration and something about Uber… I must be getting really brainless in my old age, but I cannot follow their pretzel logic at all. Especially as the Ubers around here are mostly on e-bikes.

Australia scammed by Albo on Iran, Albo scammed by Donald, Donald scammed by Bibi #auspol #scamoftheweek + Dennis Richardson, the 1st man ever to say he was overpaid #canavan #wong #crisafulli #Robodebt youtu.be/uUaL1J8ynYI?...

The global energy crisis will enable oil and gas companies to make huge profits, which we won’t benefit from because our main fossil fuel tax, the PRRT, is so poorly designed.

anyone who tells you feminism or #MeToo (etc) have “failed” is actually saying they, personally, want aggressive patriarchal backlash to succeed. Feminists already know patriarchy is supremely selfish and violent. We work with that knowledge every single day. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

“We’ll find you, we’ll track you down and you will have to repay those debts and you may end up in prison.” All for debts that didn’t exist. No consequences for the architects and implementors. Innocent people died as a result. Disgusted by the NACC and the Albo government. #auspol #albo #robodebt

There's no goodies vs baddies in Israel/Us vs Iran. Just because you despise the actions of the US/Israel (a perfectly valid view) doesn't make Iran the good guys. The Iranian regime executed 30,000 people *this year*, mostly young people, who just wanted civil rights. What is wrong with some of you

The old adage “The first casualty of war is truth” fits neatly into the war with Iran. theaimn.net/the-first-ca...

All we hear from our ABC is how angry displaced Lebanese people are with Hezbollah. Apparently none of them have anything to say about the entity saturation bombing them, including with white phosphorus etc. and driving 700,000 of them from their homes. Seems sketchy 🤷

You can tell how much the Albanese govt cares about the poor victims of the Iranian regime by the way they ... change visa laws to stop them seeking protection here.

So to summarise: You failed to take out the regime. You failed to destroy nuclear material. You failed to eradicate Iran's retaliatory capacity. You brought chaos to the Middle East. You killed god knows how many people. You destabilised your own economy. All for nothing, but the ego of madman.

My take on the Iranian asylum seekers. The famous ones and the not so famous ones. johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03...

I am thinking that three months of REALLY ensuring that most Australians understand the bombing and deaths are a delaying strategy for #FossilFuels profit AND that a failure to take URGENT #ClimateAction will render the places they are fighting over uninhabitable by 2035 might be a good plan #auspol

#auspol #racism 🤬 Indigenous Australians share the racist messages they receive online: ‘No one’s feeling safe’

The words of a real leader. A leader of courage and conviction. A leader who puts peace before craven compliance and subjugation of his nation to an illegal war and an autocratic warmongering US President. Well done Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez!
