'We're the colonisers': Australian band backs Glastonbury artists on Palestinians

I am horrified by the reactions by mainstream media outlets to Bob Vylan's performance at Glastonbury. It seems that you cannot speak out against genocide without facing opprobrium and censorship.
June 30, 2025 at 7:57 AM
What kind of world do we live in where opposing genocide can get you censured, censored or fired (see Antoinette Latouf & the ABC)?
#Glastonbury2025 flags for people ❤️
View from the stage #Kneecap at Glasto, that's a bit iconic eh!

Starmer and Trump sound off about preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons (even though the evidence that they are close to doing so is, at best, limited). Yet they stay silent in the fact that Israel already has them.
Starmer backs Trump’s bombing of Iran saying it ‘can never be allowed to develop nuclear weapon’.

Is UK going to be sucked into another US led war? No WMD in Iraq. Libya, Syria destabilised

Imperialist mentality of conquest, regime change causes more chaos.

As chair of LR-GAS (Linda Reynolds Grievance Appreciation Society) I regret to inform you all that our dear Linda's latest grievance - Grievance No 4,352 - has been dismissed by the NACC

Linda alleged the payment was corrupt or summat, and also she was never asked her opinion . . . I kid you not

Evidence that the USA is cooked.
The Louisiana House just passed a bill to ban “chemtrails”, which do not exist.

“The measure Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality to record reported chemtrail sightings and pass complaints on to the Louisiana Air National Guard”.

I feel bad for the Louisiana Air National Guard.

Dear Brisbane City Council, moving bottlenecks about does nothing to solve traffic congestion
This is true. And even if you think this ISN’T the particular problem your city has, it’s always a safe bet that adding more car lanes still won’t solve whatever you think your problem is.

I constantly see people such as Elon Musk wittering on about terraforming Mars. If you can terraform Mars, why can't you use the same technology to improve life on Earth?

Fans will ALWAYS "be divided" by Welcome to Country.

The division is easily explained.

On one side you have normal everyday Australians.

On the other side you have racist cunts.

STOP TREATING RACISM AS A VALID POINT OF VIEW.

Astounding that Kevin Burrowes is back at the helm of PwC. PwC has given us no reason to trust that they have turned over a new leaf. Lip service to integrity is not the same as structural revision, and without it, PwC hasn't changed its spots one bit.

More information on the actions of the State Library. Crisafulli Government interfering in independent decisions.
Poor State Library of Qld: I hear it continued to stand strong for their prize and its worthy winner, @wyld.bsky.social until they got a legally-binding, mandatory directive from the Arts Minister to rescind it. Terrible position to be in. Over to publishers: this book needs to be picked up now.

I see Littleproud is now alleging the failure of the (then) Coalition's nuclear policy was down to a lack of "agile" messaging.

No, David. It was a shit policy that was comprehensively rejected by the electorate. Let it go.

Another day, another cultural institution failing to defend artists & their freedom of expression, this time the rescinding of a Fellowship to First Nations author Karen Wyld. State Library of Qld is the latest to capitulate in the face of pressure from News Corp & politicians dancing to its tune.
