"Foodbank Australia has called on the federal government to establish a nationalised school breakfast program, with the aim to reach every child by 2030." First, the Albanese govt must acknowledge that any "food insecurity" = policy failure, and 1 in 6 kids living in poverty must be fixed. #auspol

passenger wearing a shirt that read “Israel Kills Children” was asked by the captain to change into a different shirt because it made his Israeli co-pilots uncomfortable. Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing.

Trump is simply a dumb American amateur who will lead his country to a level of isolation where America is hated by all democatic and free countries.

Trump is telling us as loudly and clearly as he can: he’s not our friend and he won’t protect us. Time we got the message - and acted accordingly. Latest column www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wonder who's financing the anti-immigrant propaganda & far right parties who (SURPRISE!) are also all-in for trashing clean energy & locking us into fossil-fuelled global inflation & climate-driven food price rises whilst big oil rakes in doubled, (mostly tax free) profits from the latest oil wars?

Many Israeli citizens were killed by Israeli forces on October 7. 28 Apache helicopters used all their ammunition and had to be reloaded. Mainstream media will never tell you about the Hannibal Directive. Double Down News

Surrounded by Israeli flags, Israeli soldiers, and Israeli walls - Palestinians in the occupied West Bank are left asking world leaders: where exactly is our state meant to go? Al Jazeera’s leilashww reports.

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

I see the Senator from Louisiana, John Neely Kennedy, is still chewing his cud!

Ten years after South Australia’s blackout, the state gets more than 75% of its electricity from renewables and is heading towards 100% net renewables. The technology has raced ahead while the politics remains stuck, Giles Parkinson writes. #auspol #RenewableEnergy

pearlsandirritations.com‘Too much wind and solar’? Ten years on, South Australia tells a different storyTen years after South Australia’s statewide blackout became a political weapon against renewables, the state now gets more than three-quarters of its electricity from renewable sources. The technology has raced ahead, even if the politics has barely moved.

Time for Australia to catch up. Stop being complicit in genocide, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, apartheid, colonialist settler theft and thuggery, rapes, murders, torture, invasions, terrorism… Boycott Israel Divest from everything Israeli Sanction Israel Arrest EVERYONE connected…

Angus Taylor is anchored to the 1950s and can’t admit the world has moved on. Renewables are: Cheaper Safer to build, run, decommission Quicker to roll out More flexible #RenewablesAreCheaper #RenewablesAreSafer #RenewablesAreQuicker #RenewablesAreCleaner A nuclear spill is a disaster.

David Marler@qldaah.bsky.social

Angus Taylor has the same problem as Peter Dutton with lifting the nuclear energy ban in Queensland; Premier Peter Beattie put a plebiscite requirement in the Act. He has to get Premier David Crisafulli to hold one or repeal it from the Act. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

Who would you believe, Chris Sidoti, Senator Penny Wong, or our Prime Minister, let alone any of the conservative politicians, or the MSM when they discuss or debate who is responsible for the genocide in the Middle East?

Simon Rosenberg@simonrosenberg.bsky.social

Chris Sidoti is a globally-respected human rights lawyer and investigator. He is also Australian. But ever since he started presenting the facts about Israeli crimes against humanity, the Australian political and media establishment have done their best to ignore him. #GazaGenocide #auspol

Just read today's ABC online article on Aus's pullout from the 12-country negotiations on the West Bank. Clearly, the PM is dead scared of the local Israeli lobby group and has little sympathy for the plight of West Bank Palestinians. Politics on the world stage at its worst.

After all those words in parliament re gambling, the average Australian adult loses roughly $1,527 to $1,555 per year. The highest per-capita gambling losses in the world. Our politicians are in the hands of the gambling lobbyists!!

BUT not Australia!!!!!!

"holding British Jews responsible for the actions of the Israeli government is antisemitism.." As a Jew, I think this needs clarifying. Holding Jews responsible for Israeli govt crimes is wrong. But holding in contempt those who support or defend it is surely right. www.haaretz.com/west-bank/20...

Shocking decision by the PM. We have now alienated 12 collegial nations! The Zionists must be cheering in the streets!

Shoebridge says it’s not just about the IDF, but those who take part in any wars for any foreign military, such as members of the Russian army engaging in war crimes in Ukraine, Americans who bombed an Iranian school, members of IRGC. “This amendment would be a simple change…”

Only once has Australia achieved these four outcomes: inflation, the jobless and interest rates below 4.6%, and GDP growth above 2.0%. That was in the fiscal year ended in June 2026. By falsifying their reports on the economy Australia’s newsrooms are the main cause of collapsing social cohesion.
