The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

We're joining the call for Labor to abandon police powers to stop Centrelink payments.

Why is @amyremeikis.bsky.social is the only one in the press gallery covering this?

There is a chance to do the responsible thing Minister Watt.
Here's a crazy idea, Minister Watt, ignore the ecocidal and climate change denying LNP, and work with scientific experts and the Greens to get the stronger environment laws our precious places and wildlife need! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10... You don't have control of the senate, so stop posturing.

We urge world leaders gathering at the UN General Assembly to end the genocide against Palestinians in #Gaza.

Our staff in Gaza are doing all they can to save lives while weapons of war continue to maim and kill Palestinians. Doctors can’t stop this genocide. World leaders can.

Australia has imposed 1,600 sanctions in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine. 1,600.
And Israel? About a dozen, against individuals and groups - but not on trade.

It’s not that we can’t act against a genocide, it’s that we are choosing not to.

@sarahschwartz.bsky.social on ABC talking about our ad featuring Jews calling to sanction Israel NOW for the genocide in Gaza.

The ad comes as the UN has released an authoritative report stating that Israel is committing a genocide.

We need this message to be heard by ALL Australians.

This is the Ad that #Newscorpse initially pulled despite that it was already paid for by the Jewish Council of Australia. #Newscorpse deny they pulled it, saying it was delayed due to internal processes. Sounds like BS, I’m pretty sure they don’t want ppl to see it. Plz share.
