All things local/global politics/political journalism. In Silver City, Outback Oz. Wilyakali/Paakandji Country/Nation. Indigenous power: ownership, seats at any/every table. Climate/earth crisis.
The question is why isn't at least a part of South America or a part of South Africa, along the same latitude, copping what southern Australia is copping?
This global heat map is extraordinary. Australian political leaders who pump out fossil fuels and ignore climate change are threatening our survival on this extraordinary continent.
whoaaa... looking at the temps across Australia today.
That's extreme.
Feeling for all the folks who were/are affected by this heatwave (we've been spared here in Sydney but other capitals and regional areas are really in the thick of it)

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.
It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

The Victoria Police declaration to search people without a warrant or direct anyone to remove a mask in Melbourne’s CBD was invalid and unlawfully breached the human rights charter, the Federal Court has found www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...
Police search powers were invalid and unlawful, Federal Court rules
The court agreed with a challenge by the Human Rights Law Centre that Victoria Police erroneously declared Melbourne CBD a ‘designated area’.
