just how polluting are #diesels in Australia?
Very.
Pajero sport exceeding limits by double. Ford Ranger, Kia Carnival and Hilux emit over 500mg/km when the limit 280 mg/km. #health #auspol These polluting utes also get favorable tax incentives

I wonder how long it will be before the weight of Israel’s barbarity and crimes alters the Australian governments response

This is a long piece. There is no need for further investigation.

Much of the US press is not "even acknowledging that they have a role in saving democracy, much less doing anything about it."

@sulliview.bsky.social is relevant to Australia.
Mainstream media too often treats the #FarRight as click bait. #auspol

More actions this morning from the formidable @risingtideaus.bsky.social activists taking the fight for a liveable climate to the world's largest coal export port (in Australia, where PM @albomp.bsky.social last week signed the #BelemDeclaration to phase out Coal, Gas & Oil)
Excerpt from Guardian liveblog "Fiona Lee, an activist who locked on to a coal conveyor, said she could "not stand by as our government continues to approve the new coal and gas projects that are making these unnatural disasters worse", adding: "It's time that our government starts supporting coal workers by investing in new industries for our region and making coal corporations pay their fair share." NSW police have arrested at least 141 people during the protest this weekend. An official said there have been no additional arrests this morning so far." Photo shows a seated man locked onto infrastructure. He has a Rising Tide flag draped over his knees and holds his right arm up with a raised fist Caption reads: John Wishart, 74.

Why does the media never ask Zionists whether they support Palestine's "right to exist"? And, if they claim they do, to clarify their understanding of Palestine's borders and sovereignty? Jillian Segal is openly, defiantly pro-Zionist. What are her views? #auspol #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

I think award season is now over. Mean Streak just won the Walkley Book Award to cap it off and I’m so thankful. Buy or borrow, the story is more fucked up than you think.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Adam Kinzinger nails it: We’re witnessing corruption under Trump at unseen levels that is a full-blown assault on the rule of law. America’s never seen anything like this, and pretending it’s normal is how democracies fall.

Australia’s politics doesn’t reflect the people carrying its future. With younger voters sidelined and long-term planning ignored, it may be time for an Under Forties Party, writes Ian Bowrey.
#AusPol #Democracy #FuturePlanning #YoungVoters #PoliticalReform
Why Australia needs a political party for the under-40s
With most Australians increasingly voting outside the major parties, Ian Bowrey argues it’s time for a new political force that genuinely represents under-40s and plans for the country’s long-term future.

In Australia, murders of women killed for misogynistic reasons are too often described by mainstream media as:
'a well-regarded husband/partner/father behaves out of character...'.

Subtext: perhaps it was her fault?

So this slipped under the radar!

Sounds like the @albomp.bsky.social led Labour government had a dramatic change of heart pre and post election!

All that much ado really was for nothing? Or was it for something under the table?
