"Indigenous dispossession defended as civilisation. The White Australia Policy presented as nation-building. Restrictions on women justified as protecting family life. Homosexuality criminalised in the name of public morality—b/c institutions made them feel ordinary." johnmenadue.com/post/2026/07...

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame performance of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” honoring George Harrison, featured Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood, Dhani Harrison, Marc Mann, Steve Ferrone, and a killer closing guitar solo by Prince. (Edited for format)

Flanders' has launched an ambitious program to deploy #solarpanels along highway infrastructure. Sound barriers along the E40 and E17 motorways near Ghent and Antwerp have been fitted with integrated solar panels — their south-facing surfaces generating electricity fed into adjacent grid connections

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

"Always Was, Always Will Be ... Aboriginal Land" John Paul Janke explains where the phrase comes from, what it challenges, and why it still matters today. #auspol #InvasionDay

I’m still amazed that the sub judice aspect has been ignored in the rolling media campaign for a Bondi royal commission. In case you’ve not read about it (and why would you) I’ve written about it here: open.substack.com/pub/nickfeik...

@paulwa14.bsky.social, graphic re oil reserves, as requested.

👏👏 well said #auspol

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

What sheep know about the benefits of wind turbines that Australia's National Party doesn't

There’s a lot of misinformation being spread and it's communities who pay the price. We need honest, science-based leadership that brings communities together and delivers a clean, secure energy future. #AusPol

Wow Sussan Ley has changed her tune, here she is 5yrs ago talking about Net Zero like it’s the best thing in the world “As Environment Minister no one wants to get to Net Zero more quickly than I do” “We can get there, we should get there, & we have to bring the ppl with us”🙈 #auspol

Just watched the SBS coverage of the opening of the ASEAN Summit - not a female leader in sight. How is this possible in 2025?

I'm sure that Trump being *obsessed* with undermining Venezuela has NOTHING to do with the fact that it competes with his authoritarian pals in Russia and Saudi Arabia in selling oil.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

As I was saying…

It beggars belief that the AFL is persisting with the choice of Snoop Dog to provide the entertainment at the Grand Final. Misogynism and homophobia must not be condoned.

The absolute twaddle that Aus Sky News puts out in the form of headlines on a daily basis doesn’t cease to amaze me. I don’t see more than that because I don’t look further but good grief they just don’t give up.

I am not 100% certain where Tim Minchin stands on Israel's genocide of the people of Palestine so I may or may not be on speaking terms with him these days, however ... Tim's song 'Thank You God' still speaks directly to my soul. 🙏 youtu.be/IZeWPScnolo?...

100% fan-girled Prof David Lindenmayer today at his compelling Forest Wars lecture in #Brisbane City Hall today. Highly recommend his book about all the 42 YEARS of impressive science that debunks myriad myths about bio-harmful, fire-worsening, economically-failed native forest logging in Australia

The LNP don't like their own words repeated back to them, which is why they're infuriated by this ad. Which is also why you should share it.

Has anyone else has ads posted by Australians for Prosperity getting stuck into Independent members on their newsfeed? Their website states that they believe “that the key to our nation’s success lies in expanding opportunities for advancement for everyone”. That is unless you’re an Independent!

Witches, please read the meme and the important post in the screenshots. It’s what we think is the best (or one of the best) upcoming election strategies Australians who care can get involved in to stop the election of Peter Fucking Dutton. If you agree, let’s go. #ToYourBrooms

Did you catch the budget reply speech tonight? The absence of strong economic leadership and the reluctance of the major political parties to address the structural budget deficit through effective tax reform is deeply frustrating. We can’t keep kicking this can down the road - we need action now.

Why does the world still allow trophy hunting? We've done so much harm already. RT if you think there should be a worldwide ban on this barbaric practice. Nature is amazing. Protect it. #ActOnClimate #climate #TrophyHunting #nature #rewilding #GreenNewDeal #biodiversity

It’s all in the telling.

BREAKING: Labor and Liberal may not agree on much but when it comes to introducing a new law to stop Clive Palmer, but which actually stops newcomers from competing with them in our elections, you can be sure they'll pass it and lock in the two-party system by Xmas www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3WT...
