After Bondi, the rush to explain violence may be doing more harm than good. Narrow readings risk missing wider political failures and sources of anger that demand honest attention, writes Paul Heywood-Smith. #auspol #Bondi #PublicDebate #PearlsAndIrritations

The England cricket team are whiny babies. I reckon was out, but why are they confronting Weatherald?

Does Trump think Greenland will be a county in the State of Canada?

I wonder how long it will take to bring Vichy Venezuela to heel?

So now it’s ok to go on an adventurist military operation and nab the political leaders of that country right out of their beds. Netanyahu will be sleeping uncomfortably.

A harrowing report of the exercise in psychopathic totalitarianism by the Israeli state in Gaza, which would make Big Brother blush. It’s long, but keep reading, as the stories just get worse. nymag.com/intelligence...

The will probably lean too far to starboard to be stable.

If Israel is trying to subvert and undermine our civil liberties in order to force our society to support genocide and apartheid, then we have every right to do everything we can to subvert and undermine the interests of Israel. open.substack.com/pub/caitlinj...

Here's me. "Weaponising the Bondi tragedy is a betrayal of all our children"

Will it ever become too hot for cricket in Adelaide in the summer?

Jeez, this assumes *anyone* wants to travel to the USA. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

And also, it hasn’t been a busy 6 months. It was the slowest return to Parliament since 2001 and the HoR has had around half the average number of sitting days.

Our local (newly elected) Labor MP casually mentions that she gets greater access to Ministers to influence decisions for constituents, compared to non-Labor members. I’m not naive, but this is why the rigid party system is so dirty. (Via Guardian interview.)

There's way more needed in the proposed EPBC reforms than simply an "inDepenDeNT EpA". Virginia Young explains what. thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

Imagine being part of a political party network that has only succeeded in worsening the policy outcomes you claim to care about about.

Important piece of work by my colleague, Prof Brendan Mackey, pointing out massive flaws in Australia's LULUCF emissions account. This has serious implications for our ability to get anywhere near our Paris Agreement commitments. Now do fugitive CH4 emissions. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Why has the Victorian police even got something called a "stinger grenade"?

Cool story. Australia should host COP31 to cash-in.

Leah Blyth thinks we should 'do our bit' to help minimise environmental catastrophe. 'Do our bit'. JHFC. The Liberals are a danger to Australia.

Help me here. On the one hand The Guardian news blog editor states "No smoking gun link between 5% deposit scheme and spike in home prices, experts say" then on the other a Cotality economist states "the deposit scheme was one of many factors influencing strong growth".

I am a little concerned, as my Labubu seems to have exactly 10 teeth. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Yay. Between me and the bank, we're millionaires. Labor's housing policy objective: achieved. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

What is the point of a @leanaustralia.bsky.social Environment Champion who has had absolutely nothing to say about how worryingly @australianlabor.bsky.social's EPBC reforms are shaping up for environment protection & conservation❓ (no claims of 'blindsiding' with bilateral agreements, Mr Burns?)

Productivity tools are the ‘one more lane’ of the business world.

I’m sorry, why would they have been *killed* (not ‘died’) in Israeli prisons?

Wait up. I thought our government was totally behinf AI and that it was going to be a huge driver of productivity growth? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This can't be naiveté. Just cowardice. Albanese must know that thwarting a Palestinian nation-state has been Israel's (and its nascent institutions prior) position since the Peel Commission.

A grotesque display of opulence from the world's elite. Billionaires feast on taxpayer funded banquets while they back a genocide and burn the world. But sure, migrants are the problem.

Bet you $10 when Trump gets back to the Laughing Stock of America he’s going to invent some medals he gets to win.

#Wordle, wait, what the …

Fugitive CH4 emissions from coal test bore holes, open cut coal mines, and from shonky storage facilities are a mess. Yet Australia's latest emissions inventory says there's a 2.5% drop. Get real. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Your regular reminder that every year the Australian people subsidise private schools to the tune of $22 billion while the public school down the road from you will be waiting another decade for its bare minimum funding.

Sorry #TheGuardian, unless Maxwell is under any legal jeopardy this is not news. Of course she "saw nothing". That was literally her job.

Sex trafficker to the rich and powerful “saw nothing”. I think that’s selection criteria #1 on the job description.0

So why aren't there any planes on the tarmac at Heathrow airport on Google Maps?

This woman won’t be added to the death toll that keeps getting quoted as she wasn’t killed by the IOF. But I guess she’ll be in the Genocide count with Netanyahu and his enables face the music in the ICC.

Does #Trump understand that #Putin has made him look like a fucking idiot.

I think Chalmers means ‘faster assessment’, not ‘faster approvals’. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
