The medical treatment for septic uterus, eptopic pregancies and a miscarriage that the body cannot release is abortion

Without the medical procedure of an abortion for these medical emergencies, women die

This Far Right anti-abortion shtick has nothing to do with human rights

It’s misogyny, 101

Can we also keep in mind that often the "antisemitism" claimed is NOT REAL eg graffiti that says, "FREE PALESTINE" or "END THE GAZA GENOCIDE" is NOT antisemitic.

HOWEVER, the RACISM and ISLAMOPHOBIA that non-white and Muslim Australians experience IS ACTUALLY REAL. #auspol

A solar panel.

The sun sorts the power to pump water from our Artisan Basin to over 17 000 acres to app 1000 head of Brangus and their calves.

That’s available NOW to anyone on agricultural or cattle/ sheep land.

There's a lot of fearmongering about a potential modest change to super tax concessions.

As Greg explains, the changes would only marginally affect the very wealthiest; those with over $3m in super, less than 1% of all Australians.

It's a good idea. @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

Roberts-Smith case

Roberts-Smith war crime suggested ‘recklessness or brazenness’, court says

An appeal court said it was “a rare murder that is witnessed by three independent witnesses” as it upheld a finding the former SAS soldier committed unlawful killings.

Opinion | While France, the UK and Canada condemn Israel and threaten it for mass starvation and ethnic cleansing, Australia sits limply by, saying little. @keanebernard.bsky.social writes.
Labor's middle-way timidity on Gaza genocide sums up Australia's indifference
Labor has tried to walk a fine line on Israel's actions in Gaza. The ramping up of genocide and ethnic cleansing has made that strategy unviable.
