Excellent article. No political party or government can magically take us back to the period 1950-1975 of high consistent economic growth. The major parties continue to market a fairy tale they cannot deliver on. The populists simply dial the fantasy up to "11". johnmenadue.com/post/2026/10...
For a few post-war decades, one ordinary wage could buy a house, raise a family and fund retirement. That world was an historical exception, not the economic norm – and politics is breaking itself by promising its return, Kos Samaras writes. #auspol #Economy

John Mearsheimer provides a brilliant and accurate outline of the history of the Israel/Palestine problem. I just kept nodding my head, because in 53 minutes, he summarized what I have known for ~25 years since reading the UN history in the link in the replies. 1/2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pY5...
The history of Israel did not begin in 1948 as often assumed by the conventional wisdom. The roots of Israel trace back to the birth of Zionism the late 19th century. Without this context, it is impossible to understand the current situation. Learn more here: 2/2 www.un.org/unispal/hist...

Exactly... 😺 “You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It's their mistake, not my failing.” Richard Feynman - American Physicist.

Trump told the UN he could “annihilate” Iran. He did not explicitly mention nuclear weapons, but the power to order their use rests with one president. The world cannot afford to dismiss the danger, Connie Peck writes. #Iran #NuclearWeapons

BREAKING: Judge Timothy Kelly grants CNN, MS NOW, and Politico’s TRO against the Trump administration, ordering that the reporters affected “immediately” have their White House hard passes reinstated. The TRO is in effect for 14 days. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Plug in solar is not an engineering or safety issue. These issues have been solved. In Australia, it is totally a regulatory issue of overlapping incompatible standards/regulations. This needs to be fixed by the federal government pushing hard to remove the inertia, conflict and finger pointing...
Plug-in solar is already giving renters and apartment dwellers access to cheap renewable power overseas. Australia is now considering how to legalise it, with advocates pushing for a July 2027 deadline, Sophie Vorrath reports. #auspol #Solar #Energy

Not a nasal gastric tube, but abdominal surgery without consent. This is a shameful human rights violation being sanctioned by the US court system. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It is very important to feed wild birds a species specific diet. DO NOT feed Rainbow Lorikeets bread or honey dipped bread. See here for tips... www.burkesbackyard.com.au/fact-sheets/...
This is a moral panic which is strangely unique to the S. hemisphere. N. hemisphere wildlife societies encourage the public to feed wild birds responsibly as it is an important way that people connect to, and value, nature. theconversation.com/backyard-bir...

The forest industry claims 80,000 jobs are at risk from changes to native forest logging. But the available employment data tells a very different story – with direct native forest logging jobs representing only a fraction of that figure. The 80,000 claim should not go unchallenged, David Lindenmay…
Must read article. State and Federal politicians need to read this carefully, plus READ the actual judgement instead of doing a political knee jerk that the sky is falling. Judgment is at the link below. Sections 80 to 126 address the antisemitism issues. www.caselaw.nsw.gov.au/decision/1a0...
A NSW Supreme Court judgment has drawn a sharp distinction between criticism of Israel and antisemitism – and challenged the logic underpinning the IHRA examples used by governments and institutions, Greg Barns writes. #auspol #FreeSpeech #Antisemitism
