The duopoly are ”both status quo parties, accepting political donations from the same big Co, often the big polluters, & they’re both not wanting to actually change the system, because the system is working quite nicely for them & the ppl that donate to them, big corp’s & the very wealthy.”

“evidence smacked of embellishment & that her story changed between court hearings on the validity of the decision in the Federal Court & the issue of misfeasance in the Supreme Court of Queensland. There was even discrepancy between her written affidavits & oral testimony in the same case.”

It's hot

It's hard to think when the heat is so intense

And we need to think through some painfully hot challenges to which there are no shortcuts

We have to sit in the discomfort, listening to what it's telling us, holding each other & ourselves in that discomfort, in both care & accountability
Discomfiting heat
On sitting in discomfort or seeking simple solutions It's hot. It's hard to think when the heat is so intense. And we need to think. We need to think through some painfully hot challenges. Challeng...

Who would welcome a country that is committing a genocide?

Apple is real quick to remove tracking apps warning people ICE is around but still hasn’t removed CSAM app X. Just in case you need more evidence that Big Tech fully supports this regime.

2/ waking moment to work towards eradicating white supremacy, fascism, and poverty and the vilification of marginalised people, then you know them. You know who they are. There’s nothing to understand, they’ve shown you, they’ve told you, they won’t change.

It’s time to stop trying to understand the motivations of people who hold power and don’t use it to protect, help, and save the people. Who abstain, or use empty words, or bully you into accepting less.

“They have, with great effect, convinced decision-makers that what is good for Benjamin Netanyahu and his murderous regime in Israel is good for all Jews in Australia also. They have already successfully inflected the Albanese government's so called hate speech legislation. What next?”

this is so stunningly profound and beautifully written.

I am off to order some books.
“By turns heartrending, joyful, ruminative, and infuriating, these two books bring into focus a Gaza rarely seen and even less commonly rendered, save in a stray photo by an inspired photographer, or a poem dashed off by one of its many wordsmiths.”

Politics is about choices.

This government is choosing to spend more on tax breaks for landlords than on social housing, homelessness and rent assistance combined.

While you're getting smashed by unlimited rent increases and massive mortgage repayments.

Australia is welcoming a delegation linked to war crimes.

Herzog’s visit includes Doron Almog, a former Israeli military commander accused of grave breaches of international law, who once avoided arrest in the UK under an international warrant.
This is not diplomacy.
This is genocidal complicity.

“Herzog is no peacemaker. As a head of state, he has incited genocide directly & publicly.”

Demand accountability.

End Australia's genocidal complicity.

@australianlabor.bsky.social rolling out the red carpet for a country committing war crimes.

“President Herzog represents a state found to be committing genocide in Gaza.

His presence would be highly inflammatory, risking further division within the Australian community and potentially provoking unrest or violence.”

Human rights advocates are calling for the Australia Government to stop violating children’s rights and locking them up in “cages” as the country faces renewed calls to increase the minimum age of criminal responsibility.

“The housing and homelessness crisis cannot be solved unless the government winds back tax breaks, such as the capital gains tax discount and negative gearing, builds more public and affordable housing and stops pushing policies that fuel demand and make the crisis worse.“

New data from ACOSS today shows the Federal Government spends more on housing investor tax breaks ($12.3bn in 2025) than on social housing, homelessness services and rent assistance combined ($9.6bn in 2025).

Labor needs to treat housing as a human right instead of a game of monopoly. What we need is real action and that means winding back tax breaks for wealthy property investors, as well as building affordable houses in the places where Australians need them.
