We are smart enough to solve climate change but stupid enough not to. Then complain when displaced people move to our country. Old enough to remember when politicians had morals and journalists held them accountable.

“Why good ventilation is key to stopping the spread of Covid-19

Clean air far more important than clean hands”

Francesca Albanese slams the notion of a ‘ceasefire’ for Palestinians 🇵🇸:

‘There is no ceasefire in Gaza 🇵🇸’
‘People keep on dying, being starved or forcibly displaced’
‘As simple as that’

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

It is now clear when Albo said "no-one left behind", he really meant:
- the gambling industry
- big media
- fossil fuel lobby
- for-profit childcare corporations
- aged care companies
- employment service providers
- property developers...

But Australians with the greatest needs? Yeah nah. #auspol
Gambling ruins lives. It is absolutely unacceptable that the Albanese government will continue to choose vested interests over the wellbeing of Australians and hide behind a watered-down policy - if they ever introduce one. We need action on gambling harms now.

The UN Security Council passes a highly dodgy Gaza resolution that does nothing to guarantee justice and security for Palestinians, or accountability for war crimes.

The Guardian are reporting a significant increase in Jewish people voting for the Green Party.

It's almost like many of us grew up learning a history of persecution & violence.

We don't oppose the Genocide in spite of being Jewish but because of it.

Never again for everyone.

There are a million children in Aotearoa, about 700 of them have been prescribed puberty blockers (that's 0.07%)

Medication decisions should be decided by the child, their caregivers, and the relevant health professionals, not a party relying on imported culture wars to stay in power

Your regular reminder that the NACC is working exactly as intended, designed and implemented.
AGAIN we find out that Commissioner Major General Brereton had been involved in undisclosed conflicts of interest. What’s it going to take for the Albanese Government to finally realise his position is untenable??

As a handful of us have been screaming for a long time now: there is no "ceasefire". The UN security council has approved the further colonisation of Gaza, and Israel is being rewarded for its genocide. It's still the 1700s in the West, we just have phones and cheap dopamine addictions now.
A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

Rain pouring on battered tents. Water rising everywhere. Mattresses, blankets, and clothes soaked through in minutes.

This is the reality for over 900,000 Palestinians who the Israeli military’s genocidal campaign in Gaza has displaced from their homes.
