It's just been confirmed that Monash University is dropping Woodside as a partner because they don't align with their sustainable values. This is an incredible win for @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social who have run a dedicated grass roots campaign for years.

The govt is spending billions to keep 100 asylum seekers on Nauru, a nation of 12 000 people the size of Tullamarine airport. Reports implicating the Finks bikie gang in those deals are deeply concerning. Public servants have risked their livelihoods to speak out.

the pivot from Ryvchin is to blame people protesting against genocide for NSW police attending and not stopping a nazi rally at NSW Parliament House. He seems to have missed the bit where NSW Police officers stood around listening to nazi chants and not arresting anyone for hate speech.
