🚨 Yesterday the Albanese government opened a huge new area of Victoria and Lutruwita / Tasmania’s oceans to seismic blasting & gas drilling—right next to World Heritage coastline. 🔥 New gas is a climate disaster. Next to World Heritage coastline it’s a double disaster.

Looking back on the murder of the brilliant and astonishing Ken Saro-Wiwa, 30 years on. He was executed for seeking to stop the despoilation of the Niger Delta by Shell. His murder prefigured much of what we have seen since. He remains a guiding light to us.

Australia recorded the largest number of Indigenous deaths in custody in the last financial year since 1979. Experts say over-incarceration remains a national crisis and prisons are neglecting the physical and mental health of vulnerable people.

The Northern Territory's refusal to let United Nations inspectors enter its prisons has intensified nationwide concern over detention conditions, prompting Senator Lidia Thorpe to accuse the government of blocking scrutiny because it knows it is "guilty of torture and abuse".

The quiet collapse of ‘plant-based’ fashion materials
For years, plant-based fashion materials were promoted as a sustainable breakthrough. Their rapid collapse tells a more sobering story – not about plants, but about hype, scale and transparency.
