Excellent thread
Wegovy to get Aus PBS subsidy, but only for patients who’ve already had a cardiovascular event, like heart attack, stroke, or have symptomatic peripheral arterial disease. Such poor public policy: early intervention with GLP-1s can stop cardiovascular issues developing & save the health system money

The Greens are again urging the Malinauskas Government to investigate these claims of political interference. The allegations that public servants have been told to stall investigations into the toxic algal bloom in order to protect the political interests of Labor are shocking.

In 2020, Trump tried to overturn the election. In 2024, he built an army of election deniers.

This year, he is raising the stakes. He said he wants to control vote counting. He suggested that he should've seized ballot boxes. Today, he said "We shouldn’t even have an election" at all.

David Shoebridge: “The legacy of the horrific and appalling violence in Bondi cannot be the undermining of political, civil, and human rights. Or a law that can be weaponised against people who use their conscience to speak out against human rights abuses and atrocities in this country, or overseas”

Albo’s says his new anti hate speech legislation is the result of consulting with all “faith groups”. As an atheist I feel discriminated against. I have no faith (pun intended) but expect my govt to outlaw all hate speech under one humanitarian umbrella also covering (eg) LGBTQ+, disabled and race.

“There’s a history dating back to 2023 of pro-Israeli lobbyists arguing against the inclusion of Palestinian writers…assisted and abetted by the Murdoch press.” 🔥

She called their statement “word salad” that very clumsily linked Randa Abdel-Fattah to Bondi. 💥

#Volunteers, #frontline workers & rural communities need more resources, including support by #fire-bombing aircraft.
#Busfires increasingly unpredictable
Several parts of Australia are likely to face the worst heatwaves since the 2019/2020 bushfires.

Volunteers and underpaid frontline workers will step up to help communities.

Meanwhile, in just one year, the Australian government gave $14.9 billion in subsidies to fossil fuel producers and users.

Chevron's Gorgon CCS project is the biggest and ‘best’ carbon and capture project in the world.

Gas processed there emits 36x more than the CO2 stored.

🚨 Patagonia, Argentina

Israeli tourists set fire to Patagonia. This after Argentina’s President Milei repealed a law banning the sale of burned protected lands.

From Palestine to Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, Venezuela and Argentina — Israel spreads death and destruction everywhere.

“The moral spinelessness in not only seeking to silence Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, but to link the cancellation to the abhorrent terrorist attack in Bondi, speaks volumes over who is allowed to have a voice in Australia."

Will there be calls for a Royal Commission into Islamophobia?

Will Grant Hackett get involved? Will community leaders blast the Albanese government for not listening to the Islamophobia envoy? Will Pauline Hanson be castigated by Sky for causing this, as Mehreen Faruqi was castigated over Bondi?
On Saturday, an imam and his wife were allegedly victims of a violent hate crime — forced off the road by another car, with attackers then getting out to assault the imam/threaten his wife.

ANIC put out a statement on Sunday arvo, noting rising islamophobia.

The media is just getting to it now.

Nothing ordinary about the elites behind #Advance
"..against the elite". Advance ARE the elite. A band of billionaires pretending to be a grass roots sector. I reckon that should be classed as fraud.
Best of 2025: Advance’s core campaigns against renewable energy and Aboriginal rights constitute the vested interests of many of their major contributors, particularly in the mining and energy sectors. other campaigns are to garner popular support. #auspol #Advance
