That time we wrote Free Gaza in big letters on the beach during Kelly Slater’s heat at the Margaret River Pro and they couldn’t do anything about it cos hundreds of people plus the world’s media were watching hehe #seaweedsolidaritycollective

Tasmania’s expert Scientific Advisory Committee recommends formally declaring Macquarie Harbour a ‘critical habitat’ for the endangered Maugean Skate. Tas Gov must act now to remove salmon from the harbour and protect the skate in its only refuge #savetheskate

HEBRON IS UNDER SIEGE. FAMILIES ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES. Since yesterday, 250 families have been displaced in Hebron, including my own sister, Hayat, and her seven children. Homes and shops are being demolished by the Israeli military.

This is funny because it’s true 🙈

APAN condemns Israel’s escalating attacks on Palestinians across the occupied West Bank. Israel’s elections must not distract from military raids, forced displacement, home demolitions and settler attacks. Australia must sanction Israel and end the two-way arms trade.

WA’s McGowan/Cook government is the most right-wing, corporate-captured labor government in Australian history. And it’s unassailable because of it. Federal Labor is clearly taking notes. Sell out to the powerful and you’re untouchable.

In his second term, Albanese has a thumping 94 seat majority. If he can't find the spine now to stare down basic vested interests and do basic reforms to a broken system, he has confirmed that he is governing for those vested interests. #auspol

Are we meant to turn a blind eye to Zionist cybercrime as well? Where is the red line, Albo?

Scoop: ABC has wiped staff devices exposed to malicious ads from an Israeli company that used digital advertising to hack and track devices without a click. ABC is just one of many Australian government/critical infra/media orgs reportedly targeted www.abc.net.au/news/...

“We have seen enough apartheid, enough ethnic cleansing and dispossession to reject ‘Zionist nuance and justifications.’ And we have watched a genocide unfold in Gaza. “Zionism is racism” is an understatement.”

The future of Western Australia’s ancient tingle forests is at a crossroads. If you’ve been to Walpole, and the Valley of the Giants, you’re probably familiar with tingle trees. These towering, ancient giants have firmly cemented themselves as a WA icon.

Our recent panel event, Mining and Militarism: Alcoa, Gallium and the Jarrah Forest, co-hosted with the Mineral Policy Institute, examined the ways in which forest mining, AUKUS and global militarism are deeply interconnected issues affecting our world today.

🧵 A few things I learned during my protective presence in the West Bank today. 1. Many Palestinians have a very limited control over where they can go, there’s more than 800 checkpoints and blockades in the WB and most Palestinians cannot get past any of them. It means that most Palestinians have

Reading the reporting about Jordon Steele-John, I'm thinking of the staff and volunteers who sustain our movement. They deserve a party where they can speak truth to those more powerful than themselves without risking their reputation, relationships or place in the movement.

Not content with blowing up the last Adelaide Festival, Zionist supremacist racists are intent on destroying the festival for ever.

Exclusive: a pro-Israel WhatsApp group is once again seeking to cancel Randa Abdel-Fattah from Adelaide Writers' Week. The fresh campaign comes only months after pro-Israel lobbying led to the collapse of Australia's premier literary festival earlier this year. www.deepcutnews.com/p/exclusive-...

#FrancescaAlbanese deserved the #NobelPeacePrize, however it went to #JusticePillay who had the courage to call out #Israel's #Genocide, and it's important that the prize went to the South,considering how outrageous the complicity of the West in Israel's genocide,first and foremost EU

C’mon Aussies c’mon! Join your local action tomorrow and show solidarity with the people of Palestine. Every attendee diminishes the insidious grip of genocidal Zionists on Australia. Please share.

Nicole and Denis’ pod is bloody excellent. Full of experience and integrity - two qualities increasingly rare in journalism. Appreciate their work calling out legacy media for ushering in fascism through its pathetic deference to One Nation, and Trump et al.

Every Upstream pod is brilliant but I found this one particularly inspiring. Essential listening for artists, musical or otherwise, who want to make a difference and not be like Ed Sheeran. An in-depth discussion with kick-ass Carsie Blanton about artistic resistance and the power of song.

A huge congratulations is in order for the crew at Save Perth Hills who have campaigned tirelessly since 1991 against Satterley's plan that would have seen 535 ha of land cleared. This decision means 60,000 trees, predominantly 100 to 200 year old jarrahs and marris will remain standing.
