Perhaps you are wrong, Nick. No doubt Linda Reynolds spoke out against and took action to stop the Morrison government's very illegal and very cruel Robodebt.

Surely that would depend on potential sponsors

Heartbreaking but to be expected. War and trauma damage people, especially children. As a child during WWII my now 93 year old mum endured bombing, occupation and starvation. The trauma has remained all her life. Nations that enable Israel's genocide are culpable in the crimes and the trauma.

Surely this is a threat to what's left of US democracy. On the other hand it should make it easier to create private militias....

I was the last employee of the NSW BLF. The union's deregistratiaon 50 years was a tragedy - for members and for our community.

Sadly, many of the NSW BLF's green ban lessons about heritage, environment and human rights have been forgotten. The mighty $ and short term personal interest reign supreme. How else to explain refusal to take decisive action on the climate crisis?

That may be true but Hawke did not support the NSW Builders' Labourers' Federation who imposed Australia's and the world's first green bans. Instead he supported the corrupt Norm Gallagher, BLF National Sec, later gaoled for taking bribes. On green bans Hawke was on the wrong side of history.

While they are at it it would be good dismantle the assumption that people at the bottom will do the wrong thing.

I'm totally distraught. The injustice. No, Palestinians can't have any weapons, but Israel can have all the weapons, continue to steal from the west Bank, kill, plunder with impunity, threaten & still have control in Gaza. Their inhumanity to medics & journos is beyond outrageous. I just can't...

George Orwell could have written their script.

"Thank you so much but I hope you understand this is a movement. This is an achievement of a whole society. I am just one person. I certainly do not deserve this."

In the unlikely event The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Peace Prize to Trump, can anyone this would be his first response?

Meanwhile Trump does nothing, zero, nada, zilch for free.

Inspired choice for 2025 #NobelPeacePrize. Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado & the people of Venezuela.

Trump and his faceless, nameless goons terrorising peaceful citizens. Hitler would be proud. Watching this nightmare unfold across the Pacific I fear for the good and decent people of the US. Can this horror be stopped?

Thank you Sarah for your love and courage. With love and support to you and all who see Never Again as a promise from this atheist lapsed Catholic.
