Residual thoughts from yesterday's #transportcamp - 'safety' has been a great issue to promote transport changes in the past, but at this juncture in time I don't think we want to tie the future of transport planning to narratives of fear.

Great #TransportCamp session asking, “what skills do transport planners need?” The overwhelming answer was storytelling and how to influence. The technical skills are “easy”. The people skills are “hard”.

We don't need a more competent, less embarrassing Zionist in this special envoy role. Because the role is to quash opposition to a genocide. Scrap the whole authoritarian project completely, and then, if you want, appoint First Nations elders as an all-forms anti-racism envoy

False binaries and alternative realities (to justify atrocity) - The Shot

Israel hasn't stopped gunning down the Palestinians they're starving, as those Palestinians try to feed themselves
There is nothing wrong with continuing to say it: these are war crimes, this is genocide, this is murder. It must be stopped, and those perpetrating the crimes must be held accountable

The ALP won bc the primary vote for Greens and Independents increased and the primary vote for the LNP collapsed and the ALP collected ALL the preferences.
THERE WAS NO MANDATE.
Certainly not when it came to allowing a genocide to continue without consequence.

Today @MurrayWatt has given Woodside a $200bn gift
The North West Shelf extension will get $200bn+ of GAS FOR FREE. No royalties!
But what about PRRT? Lol No. Treasury in 2023 noted the NWS will never pay it
Terrible for the climate, fatal for Murujuga, & braindead economics

A fun little tip for men. If you know that you have a haircut coming up then let the beard grow out a bit too so you can shave it off and stare into the mirror afterwards, pretending you're an undercover cop/spy coming in from the cold after a mission you lost your sense of self in.

Remember the little girls who were losing their teeth because - having taken them from their beds in the dark of night - Dutton had them imprisoned and not getting enough sunshine for Vitamin D in Melbourne. In Melbourne, Australia children couldn’t get enough sunshine to keep their teeth. #Auspol

Truly I think if more convict descendants would recognise the grief of their own displacement, the trauma of becoming the coloniser, the fact we've been denied any opportunity process the tragedy of it all ...
I think could have a better, more generous nation.
