When are politicians world over going to acknowledge that depriving citizens of a decent life has lead to drastically falling birth rates.. maybe they should stop financing the rich and polluting the planet @austrnlabor.bsky.social

Since Chalmers brought down the budget the MSM have asked every fill and his dog their opinion. 1. The government doesn’t care if the rabble in Parliament intend to vote against it.. they have the (huge) numbers in the house. 2. No one cares what ex politicians and disenfranchised politicians think

Every second, $6,000 in fossil fuel subsidies are handed out globally. That’s $5 trillion/year. Renewables? Barely a fraction. We have 6–7 years to halve emissions. The industry has zero years of conscience. Share if you’ve had enough. 🌍✊

This hits hard. Not because it’s new but because it’s still true! This isn’t just sad stats.This is real life for millions of women and it deserves more than silence! It’s time we start demanding better! Equality isn’t radical ….. it’s necessary! #SheShed #Equality #Feminism #EmpowerWomen

Australian news media: "ISIS brides" and "ISIS-linked" to vilify women & children returning home. Yet no "IDF-linked" headlines for Australians who've served with Israel's military in #Gaza returning home?! No reports? No investigation into potential involvement in war crimes? Nothing. 🤔 #auspol

1 good thing to come out of the mess trump is causing is Australia finally waking up and realising we rely on supply chains too much and have to get back to producing our own and stop voting for govts that suck up to USA

Australian democracy was not stolen in a single act of corruption. It was purchased incrementally, transaction by transaction, over 30yrs, by a foreign-aligned lobbying apparatus so deeply embedded in both major parties that it no longer operates as an external pressure group. 1/… #auspol

Oh bless. The gas industry is against the 25% gas export tax because they want to pay *more* tax. Hooley dooley, they are getting desperate.

The entire Labor Party should hold its head in shame at the behaviour of Chris Minns. Minns allowed police to brutally bash Greens candidate & Albanese challenger Hannah Thomas. Minns ordered police to bash anti-Herzog protesters. This is authoritarianism we'd expect in China or Russia. #auspol

#LaborValues Everyone in so-called Australia will experience disability at some point in their life, either personally or in their family. We are a rich enough country to fund proper, equitable & humane support. Making disability an industry for profit is neoliberal bullshit. #auspol

Listening to the gas executives yesterday while also listening to the health minister explain why we just can't afford to give support to people who need it, was just one of those WTF are we doing moments. (Plus an overheard convo that stuck in my mind) www.thenewdaily.com.au/life/health/...

I am thinking this is the time for a brave move from just curing illnesses ( including from pollution,diet,sedentary living #abuse and #neglect) with an excellent Medicare system to exploring better #preventative services especially for our #young. #auspol @markbutlermp.bsky.social

"from Butler’s speech, the govt plans on removing eligibility for people with 'lower needs' and moving them to 'other services'. In most cases, those 'other services' don’t exist, which is why they are on the #NDIS in the first place" @amyremeikis.bsky.social www.thenewdaily.com.au/life/health/...

This is what happens in a country that appoints a Zionist Voice To Parliament but throws the idea of an Indigenous Voice to the racist dogs to be voted down. #auspol

The book's author has described the decision to pulp all 5,000 copies of the book as reckless and disrespectful, and says it "sets a chilling standard".

lamestream.com.auExclusive: University of Queensland scraps Indigenous children’s book, citing controversial anti-Semitism policyThe University of Queensland has decided to pulp all 5,000 copies of a children’s picture book written by an Indigenous poet, after media queries from News Corp’s _The Australian_ newspaper that levelled accusations of anti-Semitism against the book’s illustrator. It’s a decision that also marks the first time a controversial definition of anti-Semitism, adopted by Australia’s universities last year, has been cited as the basis of a book cancellation. _Bila, a river cycle_ , was written by award-winning Wiradjuri poet Jazz Money and illustrated by Matt Chun. It’s an environmentally-focused book that tells the story of a river’s journey from mountain to sea and the people who pollute the waterways. Money and Chun began work on the book in 2022 and it was due for release this year. Jazz Money, the author of __Bila, a river cycle.__ In January this year, Dymocks announced that it was removing all of Chun’s books from its stores after he wrote an article titled “We don’t mourn fascists” in the aftermath of the Bondi terror attack. After the Dymocks announcement, _The Australian_ approached University of Queensland Press (UQP), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the University of Queensland, to ask about _Bila._ The chair of UQP, Professor Heather Zwicker, told the newspaper that the publisher had, “put the proposed publication on hold pending the outcome of an internal review and external legal processes underway,” effectively suspending its publication. ### This post is for subscribers only Become a member to get access to all content Subscribe now

Konrad Benjamin nails the root of the problem: to stop large industries from ripping us all off, politicians need to stop “going to work in the industries that they literally wrote the rules for”🔥 Rules that as Dr Denniss points out, see gas co’s “pay more in PR than PRRT”💥

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Tonight I made Kebabs for dinner using scotch fillet steak stuffed with fresh lettuce and spinach ripe tomatoes and cucumber smothered in garlic mayo…. Cost around $16 for two…instead of whatever that tough cardboard meat soggy lettuce and 2 pieces of unripe tomatoes the kebab shop makes for $44
