My head truly spins that this is not a topic more broadly broached across Australia's media class, traditionally so quick to circle the wagons
The war in Gaza has killed 186 journalists as of Aug 11, 2025. This is the highest number ever recorded in any war. 🚨
It is more than the total journalists killed in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, the Yugoslav Wars, and Afghanistan combined. ⚖️📸💔

Oh good, at least someone isn’t ignoring that this happened — as the Sunday shows and press corps say nothing.

I kept this one really quiet, because Zionists will gleefully harass and intimidate children, but a few months ago I won an Inspiring Australia grant to organise a science family fun day event for refugee kids from Gaza as part of National Science Week. 🥺💜🧪

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Many years ago I worked at a fish & chip shop that a senior National MP frequented - my first job as a teenager.
I got their order wrong once & they rang the owner to harangue them about it, so loudly I could hear them across the room.
The owner had tears in their eyes as they put the phone down.🧵

OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...
How to be a man
The right story narrative about male attractiveness is grounded in Social Darwinism and free market economics. Can progressives tell a better story?

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.
