'Suggesting that Aboriginal communities need special attention coming from the Coalition should be duly noted as the last time the Liberals Nationals showed such concerns .. the Howard government sent the army into remote Aboriginal communities to launch the 2007 NT Intervention'

Peter Dutton’s Paternalistic Election Promises Hint at a Potential NT Intervention 2.0
The federal opposition leader’s promises of a cashless debt card and law-and-order rollout for Aboriginal communities sound concerningly like paternalistic policies of the past.

@wilstracke.bsky.social is spot on. Jan26 is not a day to celebrate, unless your aim is to celebrate invasion, dispossession, colonisation and mass murder. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land. #InvasionDay #AusHistory vt.tiktok.com/ZS6tBPpQ2/

Big thank you to all those teachers who worked on this year’s NSW HSC. And not just those at the elite schools with the genius kids, but those who sweated blood to get their everyday kids across the line. You’re the cream of our society.

Every day we learn more about the coalition’s nuclear distraction plan which proves it has nothing to do with lowering prices and everything to do with extending fossil fuel use in Australia.

Australia has an ongoing GP shortage. Why can’t we just train more GPs?

The number of GPs has actually increased in the past five years. But the number of full-time equivalent GPs has gone down.

This is some of the worst government policy playing out in PNG right now.

The refugees held on PNG after Australia exiled them a decade ago need permanency and medical evacuation now.

Australia slammed over new refugee measure
The Australian government has introduced new measures for refugees in Papua New Guinea that detractors have labelled a "death sentence".

Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander flags are both official flags of Australia under Flags Act 1953. Dutton likes to punch down, exploit fear & it’s him being divisive once more. Shame on him. From walking out on apology to Stolen Generation to dooming the voice, not fit to lead.

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.

To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

Political negligence and incompetence on a cosmic scale. What will we import next? Sheep ? Koalas ?
It’s dumb, but gas-rich Australia has little option but to import gas
Australia is one of the largest LNG exporters behind the US, so why are its most populous states at risk of running out?

Oh look, it’s the Netanyahu lobby howling - yet again - about “anti-semitism” and pushing the falsehood that Israel is our “democratic ally.” It is not. There is no alliance, nothing. Meanwhile, the genocide goes on .
Canberra’s Gaza comments have contributed to antisemitism in Australia
Misplaced attacks and the constant blaming of Israel for civilian deaths have contributed to an atmosphere permissive of the sharp rise in antisemitism since October 2023.

Banner drop in Parliament house today to demand @AlboMP stop approving new coal and gas.

@AlboMP you say you want your legacy to be climate action? Then stop approving climate-wrecking coal mines #peoplesblockade #Canberrawave #RisingTide
