Just FYI for those that still doubt the ongoing genocide of the Palestine people.

For those wondering what ultimately led to Oct 7 uprising.

Now think.... if an illegal coloniser imposed this on you, what would you REALY do ?

Q: Did it really start on Oct 7?
A: Below is a list of laws and military orders, spanning decades, designed to suppress the Palestinian people. These policies target nearly every aspect of daily life with an intensity and focus that is unprecedented. The list is very, very long.

Special Envoy to combat antisemitism, Jillian Segal has a fully staffed office in Parliament to speak truth to power.
Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia, Aftab Malik, doesn't appear to have his own dedicated office with staff there.
& First People of Australia have no voice & no office.
Why?

Poor Will Shackel. Seems someone at the Australian Conservation Foundation drew a caricature of the young fella affectionately known as Fallout Boy.*

You're 19, Will. You put yourself out there (with lots of support from the usual suspects, I admit). You made your bed.

And dont forget Australia is complicit in genocide. This is the biggest issue for me. Totally agree with the points you make, though.

Labor’s Dan Ripocheli has also recently shared his belief that coal mining in the Hunter can continue for decades with net zero achieved through offsets. This is equally magical thinking and no less ignorant than Tehan’s “zero emissions coal” nonsense.

Latest one from Andrew Leigh (often touted as a climate champion) is that “fossil gas will be needed for hundreds of years” to support the energy transition. This following on from Repacholi’s “coal mining can just keep going in the Hunter with carbon offsets “. These numpties have no fucking clue 🤦🏻

I invite folk to take action with the current government that is acting to damage our environment and remove community consultation requirements - right in front of us - because unlike the LNP - Albanese ALP is IN GOVERNMENT.

While many Liberals who wanted to keep net zero say they are happy with the position the party has landed, some despondent moderates fear electoral oblivion in metropolitan seats.

As the federal Coalition implodes on energy, Victoria looks into joining federal Labor and introducing a regulated “free electricity” window, powered by solar.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

My daughter is 15, a child with a baby face whom I won’t even put in an Uber by herself. Just utterly disgusting from the same people who have spent years demonizing trans people as predators for daring even to exist. What are we even doing right now?

Good on the Guardian for this. I'm astonished at how many journalists at other organisations don't seem to know this or think that it's important to mention. Coalition politicians keep claiming it's net zero causing rising costs without any pushback
