Australia is one of the richest countries on Earth, if we can afford $600m for a PNG footy team, we can certainly afford to properly fund our premier scientific agency My column on the CSIRO job cuts > www.canberratimes.com.au/story/911683...

Good for you. My @smh @theage cartoon.

'People forget what Khashoggi was investigating when he was murdered. He was writing about Kushner turning over classified info to MBS, who used it to hunt down, arrest and murder his opponents.' h/t @cocacolakid

Not hard to read between the lines ... ironically the divisiveness she doesn't like is fostered and stoked by bullying racist #MurdochGutterMedia and the Zionist lobby who demonise Muslims to discredit Palestinians.

Prof Amanda Kirby remembers the forgotten heroes of neurodiversity "who paved the way quietly, often without recognition or understanding," as we mark UK Disability History Month "as we talk about inclusion, accessibility, and equity, we stand on their shoulders." www.linkedin.com/comm/pulse/n...

This is all so predictable and boring - so why does it keep happening? www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

"The Israel Police are headed by a convicted terrorist who views the settlers' crimes as part of the redemption. The judiciary, which has become a doormat..has also become helpless in the face of crimes against Palestinians & the erosion of.. international law" www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...

Embracing the malice of Murdoch’s malevolent network Kim Williams appointment as ABC Chair in March 2024 – after many years serving Rupert Murdoch – has disappointed those who hoped he would arrest the shift towards the Murdoch model of falsifying information and boosting right-wing political causes

Gaza.

yeah it is called having standards ... happy to be elitist rather than racist.

Why Why, Why, Is Israel still allowed to be in the UN?

"Inadvertently" my arse. Furthermore, Paul Brereton should not be in the employ of the government, @albomp.bsky.social. Sack Brereton. #auspol #NACC

This is what a Palestinian State looks like. This is what every Ethnostate looks like. War Crimes. If you want more ethnostates you'll see more war crimes. Incidentally the UN was set up to legislate how war crimes could be done legally.

For every entry-level vacancy, there are 39 people on the JobSeeker payment. Of those, 25 have barriers to work. This is the highest ratio ever recorded by the Snapshot. Entry-level jobs now make up just 11% of all vacancies. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Test to determine if migrants are racist enough to come here

I wonder why people don’t like landlords

Once more, wind turbines spoil the view of this pristine rural landscape in Australia, threatening a lovely coal mine. #auspol #politics #climatechange pbs.twimg.com/media/G6GYra...

Do not forget: Trump's former spiritual advisor was arrested in March for molesting a 12-year-old girl. The abuse lasted for years. Robert Morris pleaded guilty last month to sexually abusing the 12-year-old. This who Trump is. This is who he surrounds himself with. Trump is the Epstein files.

Good luck! My @smh @theage cartoon.

What are @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social thinking? @davidpocock.bsky.social is spot on. A real disconnect between the govt’s rhetoric & stark underfunding of #science R&D. We have the funds. Political will & priorities? A sophisticated, complex economy?

youtube.com/watch?v=AP9t... This means no voting for either party. This means no support for the military. This means no support for platner namely. This means no war but class war. The only way a fascist is reformed is by them leaving the planet. Fuck the US empire.

A government that can’t bring itself to tax fossil fuel, big tech or any wealth properly but defunds its critical institutions is not a good government, sorry

As a handful of us have been screaming for a long time now: there is no "ceasefire". The UN security council has approved the further colonisation of Gaza, and Israel is being rewarded for its genocide. It's still the 1700s in the West, we just have phones and cheap dopamine addictions now.

A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

The last time I wrote about this I copped the biggest whinge fest from the then (Labor) minister’s office about how they weren’t cutting the budget lol

CBA boss Mat Comyn exposes the mindset of too many Australian business “leaders”. That is, shareholders profits come before fairness, decency and morality. Battlers treated with disdain and sacrificed on the altar of profit before people. A disgusting and arrogant performance!

Donald Trump, physics expert: "You know, when it drops the bomb, it goes down very steeply, because that gives it a better angle, and, you know, more speed for the for the bomb, very, very heavy bombs, and they go boom."

Good morning lovely ones Your help and suggestions please for Christmas lunch+nibbles We will have 4 meat eaters (not into old-fashioned roasts though) and 2 vegetarians and 1 vegan. The other 5 couldn't care less either way Help-yourself mixed platters? Bowls of salads? Much thanks 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 😰

Does everybody just do seafood and salads now? I saw these vegan nutloaf-roast things and to be honest, they looked like part of a dried horse turd. Maybe they're delicious. Oh god, I hate this *anxiety going off the charts*

Australia doesn’t have a gas shortage…& neither does one of our biggest export customers. Not only does Japan onsell huge amounts of our gas to other countries, Japanese consumers have cheaper electricity than most Australians Well done Aus Government. Good job thepoint.com.au/news/251118-...

"The average mortgage pays $200,000 in profit over its life to the banks," says Richard Denniss, co-CEO at The Australia Institute. You can read more on good ideas for economic reform on The Point. thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed” basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again. i feel that with my dad.

Neoliberalism is a red carpet for fascism

Dear ABC radio, please have somebody with more expertise than me explain to you why “renewables are the cheapest form of power” and “power prices have gone up in the last years in spite of increased renewables” are not contradictory statements. And why slowing renewables will not bring prices down.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative. The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Hilarious that we have a govt captured by fossil fuel companies and an opposition declaring they will not deliver on our legal obligations under the Paris Agreement and we are gunning to host the next COP meeting.

In 6 days you lose 1000 years of nature 💔

Was it just me or was Annabel Crabb’s Civic Duty on ABC heavily stacked with right wing nut jobs? What business at all did Ben Fordham or Samantha Maiden have being on that show? Frankly was surprised she didn’t have Peta Credlin appear

Sussan Ley under siege on why she doesn’t Exit Paris, given Libs will inevitably breach the agreement? Ley says other countries have done it too. Then refuses to admit it’s a breach “I’ve answered the question” No you have not. Death metal music in background, very fitting.🔥🪦

New LIFE AFTER CARS live show outfit just dropped.

Dr Assal Rad— "Who destroyed their homes? And the schools and hospitals they used for refuge? Who is blocking shelter aid into Gaza? "ISRAEL is responsible for the devastation, not the rain."

The Arts do more than make money, they tell us who we are. They’re an investment in culture, community, critical thinking and social cohesion. They shine a light on what it means to be human. ❤️ Maybe that’s why authoritarians hate the arts"
