We don’t just need to end fossil fuels; we need to end fossil fuel companies. “…the largest 250 oil and gas companies only own 1.42% of global renewable energy, and just 0.01% of the energy they extract comes from renewable sources.”

“If we’ve learned anything from the recent slew of Zionist attacks on culture in Australia, it’s that institutions — mainly universities — are often a poisoned chalice for writers and editors.” Deputy editor Eli McLean on the closure of MEANJIN.

“To say that I care about your security & actually do the very thing that’s actually threatening our security, it does not make sense. We cannot be that stupid,” – Anote Tong, fmr president of Kiribati. Pacific leaders see through the rhetoric & are furious about Australia's fossil fuel expansion.

"It tells you a lot about who wields power in Australia that Woodside is being allowed to haggle in secret over the conditions of the North West Shelf expansion," writes @stephenlongaus.bsky.social. Read: australiainstitute.org.au/post/yes-min... #auspol

Does Australia supply weapons to Israel? The government has consistently denied the claim and criticised “misinformation” surrounding exports, arguing it has “raised tensions in this country”. So what do we know about Australia’s role in the F-35 jet's supply chain, and what constitutes a weapon?

Read the latest on the Plastics Treaty INC-5.2 from Hiroko Tabuchi at the NY Times: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/c... “The talks’ collapse “proved that there’s no way we can proceed with consensus,” said Bjorn Beeler, executive director at IPEN” “The result was the chaos you saw.”

Norway taxes their fossil fuel industry and gives their kids free university education. In Australia, we give more than half of the gas we export away for free, and charge our kids a fortune to go to uni. 📺 Executive Director @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

ABC 3pm news bulletin had good coverage of #MarchForHumanity in Sydney and Melbourne. Mentions “tens of thousands” participating.

#marchforhumanity Sydney heaving with people joining the March today , no one cares about the rain in fact people cheering 📣 #palestine

Omg, the woman on the PA system in Wynyard, who's been giving directions since we got here, just added "Free Palestine, free Palestine" at the end of one of her announcements. Cheers erupted. #MarchForHumanity

Reminder: If you hear anyone claiming the #MarchForHumanity #SaveGaza March across the Sydney Harbour Bridge today in support of Palestine is somehow anti-Semitic,the Jewish Council of Australia supports it. 👇 And here's their full media release: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2025/08/medi...

NEW: Incredible scenes in Sydney, Australia today as tens of thousands march for Gaza, demanding an end to the genocide. #MarchForHumanity (🎥 Ema Franklin)

A bit perplexed at the headlines about today’s #marchforhumanity saying “perilous” and “police feared the worst”. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.

Media Release: Jewish Council backs march across Sydney Harbour Bridge We stand with – and join – those marching across the bridge and call for immediate action to stop the Gaza genocide and for a future where everyone is free, from the river to the sea.

"War profiteering is a phenomenon as ancient as war itself, but [a new report] shows that the military-industrial-technological complex is reaping uniquely horrible payoffs in Palestine," writes editor and publisher of The Nation Katrina vanden Heuvel.

Scientists have measured the amount of nanoplastics in the open ocean for the first time. The new study estimates that the North Atlantic Ocean holds approximately 27 million metric tons of nanoplastics, around nine times the amount of larger plastic debris in all of the world’s oceans.

The Australian government has never declared the catastrophic impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems as a so-called “natural” disaster. If it did, issuing permits for more fossil fuel emissions would be exposed as reckless. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A reminder that all Australian coastlines are reeling from rising sea temperatures - it’s not just coral bleaching. For every fish that washes up on a beach, millions of sedentary bottom-dwelling animals and plants are quietly dying.
