The Saudi govt led the way murdering a journalist who would reveal their crimes and evil.

Israel realised they could murder journalists en masse without any pushback.

Other govts have realised no govt in the west cares.

How many fucking times does it have to be said ...

#Climate200 DOES NOT TARGET SEATS!

Community Groups with lousy MPs DO SEEK INDEPENDENT REPRESENTATION & #Climate200 may offer to support candidates running on climate action & integrity.

It looks like “freedom” means some people get to despotically oppress other people.

Book bans. Mask bans. Medical care bans. People of certain ethnic origin bans, international product tariffs (on Americans) (a type of ban), disabled and elderly in society “ban” (on pain of covid death/disability)

Australian governments - especially those run by Labor - have used disgust at Israel conducting genocide as a cover to introduce laws to restrict protest that will be used almost totally against minorities and very much anyone protesting climate change.
Scared weird little nation we are

If we are listening to The Lancet (July article) it’s likely that over 675,000 (some calculations are more like 1.125 million) Palestinians have been annihilated by Israel & paid for by the US in Gaza. Stop using the official numbers - they do not account for indirect deaths.

Another woman dead today - with a man assisting police with the enquiries, of course. Any politicians calling a press conference to rage against this? Thought not.

Keep these wonderful Koalas safe. Ask NSW Environment Minister Penny Sharpe to stop logging their habitat in the proposed Great Koala National Park or these Koalas won’t be so great after all.

Exercising is good for you *except* with certain illnesses. There is a type of long C19 that does not benefit.

The latest greenhouse gas emissions figures show Australia emits more gas now than when the government was elected.

But the govt wants us to believe we are "on target" to achieve 43% cuts below 2005 levels by 2030.

Enough with the spin: we need to stop approving new coal & gas mines *now*.

@australianlabor.bsky.social I will vote & campaign against every ALP senator from Victoria if you pass these cruel anti-refugee bills. Depriving a refugee of a mobile phone while you try to deport them? You can’t sink any lower.
November 26, 2024 at 10:16 AM
Wow. I did not know this. Disgraceful
Labor's policy to confiscate mobile phones from people in immigration detention centres is spitefully inhumane. Shame on you, Labor. We know not to expect much from you on immigration policy these days but this is positively Morrisonian.

Did you know BlueSky only has 20 employees?

We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those 20 warriors (who are working 24/7 to keep up with the incredible growth) for giving us a space to share.

We escaped hell to be here.

Thank you, @bsky.app & Jay Graber CEO (not a billionaire)

Brereton always defines corruption as typically being engaged in "for a private benefit" which is explicitly NOT what his own Act requires. They even have a clause saying: "Conduct involving a public official may be corrupt conduct even if the conduct is not for the person’s personal benefit."

Yes
I'm going to use some strong language here. Queensland is not backwards, we're an early warning system.

Australia, if you don't stop fucking around & concentrate on the nation's issues this Joh descendent is going to be the next PM. Do you understand what that means? #auspol

It is true that the sub judice contempt rule needs to be reformed as it is out of step with modern digital reality, however in the meantime the best way to ensure Alan Jones gets a trial at all (let alone a fair one) is to shut up about the criminal charges against him.
