Please don’t tell me that a single letter was behind the Adelaide Festival board’s decision

Writers festivals used to be about dangerous ideas. Now they are about ensuring that their program of speakers and topics has been pre-approved by a foreign power, and/or their local agents. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... The unconscionable outcome of outsourcing human services to corporations. Fund the Australian Public Service to keep its critical work in-house for the public good.

Please don't resign Louise Adler - we need you to restore Adelaide Writers Week reputation A new Board and a reset, a letter to all writers saying Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah has been re-invited with an apology for the actions of previous Board www.indailysa.com.au/news/just-in...

Hearing the amazing Stan Grant first speaker at The Equity Co-Lab Fair by Design National Summit #Equity #healthequity

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽 Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club. That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group. Just utterly unbelievable.

IF THIS IS NOT HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT IS? Israel refuses to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who insisted on staying with his patients in his bombed hospital even after his own son was murdered. Since then he has been held in one of Israel's torture facilities.

What if we taxed the gas industry properly? "We're incredibly generous to the gas industry, most of which is foreign owned. "Norway taxes gas & gives their kids free education. What we do is give the gas away for free & charge our kids a fortune to go to uni." @richarddenniss.bsky.social on ABC ⤵️

Melbourne Uni is killing the literary journal Meanjin. It's cultural vandalism. Australian universities are now deeply anti-intellectual places www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/04/m...

Seacliff beach this morning - but it could be Bondi. Our oceans are on fire. Dead marine life all over the beach. Scientists warned us. Now we are in it. End new fossil fuels. Stop subsidising coal and gas. Our world is on fire and our kids will cop it big time.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Definitely a real parallel between Aus and UK surprise mass-attendance racist rallies. Both feel fucking terrifying

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has delivered a swashbuckling call for Europe to defend itself against Russia and punish the Israeli government in today's State of the European Union address.

Mark it on your calendar: Oct. 18 is the next No Kings Day. Let's join with even more millions of Americans and make our defense of democracy impossible for politicians and the media to ignore. Bring your family and friends.

I messaged a few politics reporters live reporting from the conference, to ask why they hadn’t given the same (or any) coverage to the conferences of the DUP, Greens and Plaid Cymru - all of whom have the same seats as Reform I got no response and one blocked me www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"There is a concern with the Indian community." Then Jacinta Nampijinpa Price said "mass migration" statement was a "mistake". Then refused to apologise, blaming the ABC for raising the Indian community in the interview. Now there's internal fighting. #auspol www.skynews.com.au/australia-ne...

I don’t think a headline has ever epitomized “too little, too late” as much as this one.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

CNN put together a clip of RKF Jr denying today he linked antidepressants and mass shootings, followed by a clip of RFK Jr last week linking antidepressants and mass shootings

This is what our housing crisis is really about ...... the ultra rich ..... it's a class war we are in and the top class are winning!

Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.

Another disgraceful episode in the treatment of whistleblowers. Richard spoke out knowing there would be no benefit to himself. He deserved praise, not prosecution. Something has to change. ATO whistleblower Richard Boyle spared convictions, jail sentence www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Look what happens to the economy when #Populist governments take over Warning for #US under #Trump

So interested in social justice and equity?? Then don't focus on poverty and disadvantage look at wealth and privilege - see our latest podcast with me and Clive Hamilton discussing these issues in relation to #Healthequity www.adelaide.edu.au/stretton/our...

We're all trying to find the guy who did this... thank you @amyremeikis.bsky.social

Very worrying especially for social scientists @acadsocsciences.bsky.social

Gavin Newsom is driving MAGA insane, and I’m loving it!!! 🤣🤣

These are the sorts of attacks on experts that resulted in a domestic terrorist firing 500 shots at the CDC just over a week ago. If you stand for evidence based public health interventions, you basically get a target placed on your back by DHHS leadership. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Global plastics treaty in limbo as talks end without agreement. Also, Australians consume more single-use plastic per capita than most other countries – more than 50 kilograms per person, per year. www.croakey.org/global-plast...

It bears repeating: choosing to double down and accelerate our burning of fossil fuels will kill off a substantial proportion of humanity That is something we want to avoid - and can choose to avoid www.theguardian.com/environment/...
