“The approval of the HVO mine continuing is not just another climate failure among many. It is the failure that finally broke my faith in the capacity of public institutions to serve the public interest.” The brilliant George Woods www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I remain convinced that the most effective response to a politician or a pundit who's pushing transphobia is "I'm not sure why you're obsessed with other people's genitals but it's really creepy"

The Albanese government's plans to slash more than 6,000 places from its annual refugee intake have sparked anger and confusion within Labor, and prompted accusations it would amount to an "extraordinary betrayal" of the party's rank and file members.

Overnight, a masked bandit broke into our kitchen. Armed with opposable thumbs, he proceeded to sample everything on offer. I’d just visited the farmers market, so the menu was extensive. I can now share a highly specific peer-reviewed list of what this particular raider did & did not enjoy. 🧵

A few weeks ago we broke news Thales and the Australian gov are making explosives for the IDF. I assume you've noticed mainstream press hasn't followed this up? Anyway, I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything, but Thales is a sponsor of the National Press Club.

Have been in hospital all day with my 4yo as he gets chemo for his leukaemia and as always while here I can’t stop thinking of how the churches in Jerusalem begged the Israeli govt to let them treat kids with cancer in Gaza—promising to cover every part of the cost and transport—and Israel said no.
