In addition to all of the fabulous art and culture contributed in earlier history. Think Toledo blades, Optical devices; Ibn Al-Haytham 1065 or Al-Khwarizmi, 820 who's mathematical works introduced the 0 to a broader world. It one of those 'What have the Romans ever done for us' moments.

Initially dismissed by male peers as a "decorative artist," her intense visual accuracy led to real scientific breakthroughs. She documented ~900 species; a genus (Northia) & the massive Bornean pitcher plant (Nepenthes northiana; she was the first non-local to find it 👇) bear her name. #WomenInSTEM

Barring a few scuffles, there has been no clash in Arunachal Pradesh since 1975. We explain why the fiercest contest on the Chinese-Indian border at the moment is over infrastructure

Remove #palantir spying from Australian government, banking, hospitals, retail etc "Palantir's CEO published a manifesto declaring that "some cultures are dysfunctional," and that Western tech firms have a "moral debt" to US military dominance." #auspol #australia greens.org.au/campaigns/ca...

Many #Indigenous Australians served this country, only to return home and face racism, discrimination and unequal treatment. Honouring their service means acknowledging the full #history not just the parts that makes some of you comfortable. #DavidShoebridge #AUSPOL #Aboriginal #Indig #ANZACs

Historian Henry Reynolds wrote this in mid 2025. He’s writing about the extraordinary times we’re living in. Our PM used the word pathology last week to drum up hate against protesters with RW media. If there is an illness, it starts with unaccountable gov #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/07...

I have never been a Greens supporter, but given the reckless shite Labor is doing, I reckon that could change. #auspol greens.org.au/campaigns/ca...

Need to have death or wealth tax to make our taxation system more progressive like it was 60s 70s 80s when we had social mobility and relative equality

They certainly don't need more revenue. WHAT THEY DO NEED IS TO GET RID OF THE HORRENDOUSLY EXPENSIVE $368B AUKUS! Aside from the expense this project has exactly the opposite effect to making Australia safer.

Start by reducing politicians' pay towards the global average. Our pollies are currently 6th on the scale of world administrator's salaries.

Yes, like John Howard, ON show no understanding of what racism is. Sociology 101 should be prescribed for all entering parliament

IMO all public primary schools/kindergartens/pre-schools SHOULD also incorporate childcare using taxpayer money instead of paying for profit businesses... more accountability with fees scaled on household income @albomp.bsky.social #AusPol #AusNews www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Speechless and disgusted with the PM and the current ALP govt after listening to this. #AusPol www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Just what we need, more bs information, higher power price and water scarcity #datacentre

Would AI diagnosis being more expensive prevent our easily influenced govt from adopting it? #Health #Auspol

Jacinda Ardern joins University of Sydney as lecturer and mentor – “Former New Zealand prime minister will focus on leadership, social cohesion and public health in new role” – Probably had this lined up for a while; it would explain her move to Sydney – I imagine it’ll be a popular course!

What are we saving $31 billion for LNP? Pull children out of poverty. Fully fund public schools?

Fantastic effort by Serbian students in their #election #Serbia

#Lula I surprisingly encouraging result to see Reuters reporting Lula's re election in #Brazil

Govts ignore Royal Commissions just like they ignore the will of the people. Pointless. I n most cases we already have the evidence.

How Palestine’s Borders Changed From 1947 to 2025 😢😢😢

Thanks for sharing this Lynette. If we don't have the population to do this ourselves we should work with our Asia and Pacific neighbours for the security of our region

Yes, we are developing a bit of a history of governments ignoring their people: Vietnam, Iraq, and now Gaza, gas, gambling, Aukus. Overall, the people have been right

Their charitable works can still be tax free but religion per se should not

Of course poverty and inequality increase social unrest, distrust and crime. Great Australian Professor Sir Michael Marmot exposed this when proving the direct relationship between poverty and illness. Poverty causes stress and misery, dissatisfaction and distrust also arise from stress
