💊 “Rather telling that the use of an antibiotic in a major water catchment only came to light because of a tip-off from a courageous member of the public, rather than from the independent regulator charged with protecting the public interest.” #politas

The EPA’s credibility gap over antibiotic use
That Tasmania’s EPA and Huon Aquaculture said nothing for more than two weeks about the use of antibiotics is a telling indicator of their preference for secrecy.

As Guy Rundle frequently observes, the majority of Australians are now knowledge class small ‘l’ liberals concerned at widening inequality, climate change, housing affordability and our grovelling to a failed US state. So why are the ALP, Libs, Nats and One Nation all competing for the cooker vote?

The government is refusing to answer questions about why the Secretary was sacked

"I don't think anyone...would appreciate the circumstances of their employment termination being discussed"

She was paid $1m/year to unlawfully cut ppl's payments. You can't bullshit your way past this one, sorry

Scientists warn we are edging towards a “point of no return”, where climate tipping points could push us into a hellish “hothouse Earth”. Every fraction of a degree matters. We must urgently cut climate pollution from coal, oil and gas and scale up clean energy.
Point of no return: a hellish ‘hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say
Continued global heating could set irreversible course by triggering climate tipping points, but most people unaware

Finally saw the weapons Hossam Shabat talked about before he died. They vaporised people.

Thermal and thermobaric weapons.

We remember, this is so much worse then will ever be acknowledged, think on every genocide you've never heard of and realise why that is.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

Just discovered $3 billion in extra nuclear sub spending between May and December $15.4B → $18.6B

Where's the $3 billion going? Defence: "Take it on notice"

That's enough money to build 10,000s public homes but for Defence it's pocket change they lost down back of the couch.

Watching Albanese deflect criticism of Herzog in #qt today. Just infuriating. Hard to dial down the fucking temperature mate when YOU invited a divisive, unrepentant war criminal to our country to ostensibly mourn but incite hate while here. Why is this so hard to understand. ?

After witnessing the unprovoked police violence at last night's #HerzogNotWelcome rally (incl. against a Muslim woman beside me who was being completely cooperative & respectful), I now understand what Albo & Minns mean when they say we have "shared values" with Israel and the USA. 😔 #auspol #nswpol

Armed state violence against peaceful prayer is peak Islamophobia and vicious racism and. We have very few codified constitutional freedoms and this is almost certainly unconstitutional. They are officers of the law.
