“The so-called Board of Peace is really problematic.
It’s not at all clear how it would work.

For many people, climate change is about stats and data. But firefighters see the change on the ground, almost in real time. The fires we fight now are nothing like those we fought 20 yrs ago. Many of the tactics I was trained in are now unviable.

Accused by a whistleblower of covering up an oil spill that killed dolphins and sea snakes, Santos get fined just $10k 🤯
Santos spends up to $US3.3m per year on a private jet for their executives so I don’t think AUD10k is going to hurt them.

Imagine the response from Western govts (and news media) if China had murdered 45,000+ Taiwanese (incl. 14500 children) and destroyed 80% of Taiwan's buildings. And then it invaded Mongolia, and then South Korea (bc it wanted to secure a "buffer zone"). 🤔 #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

Brazen. FIVE comedy shows for ABCTV 2025 c’ssioned, all hosted by (capable) white men. People too scared to say WTF. Ongoing insult to other talented folk & taxpayers. Commercial radio men steeped for years in sexist management now brought in to run ABC radio. Absolute yesteryear-level nonsense.
