Absolutely. Renewed Economy often puts good environmental actions on Bluesky but abc too busy chasing the Murdoch headlines. Such a fall from grace for abc. Used to be reliable but now just like the other mainstream hacks.

Tens of thousands of protesters wearing red staged a march in the Netherlands to demand an end to the government’s support for Israel. Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen was there.

600,000 people got on trains, buses to London to protest against the genocide in Palestine today & it wasn’t even on the news. Such is the power of money, it controls everything & everybody, it’s cost, life itself. Therein the answer, get rid of money in favour of equality & life

This is incredibly powerful from the WHO’s Emergencies Director, Dr Mike Ryan, on the world doing nothing as the children of Gaza die.

“This is an abomination.”

Welcome to Country (Thread)

1/ In response to the current discussion on social media here is my two bobs worth

A ‘Welcome’ is part of everyday life.

Some people might find the idea of a Welcome to Country unfamiliar — but the truth is, welcoming others onto "your space" is something we ALL do.

Peter Dutton is one of the most disgusting people in the country.
Which kind of creep would do this to a child?
And so many millions wasted doing this kind of thing over and again. #Auspol
Some people are not fit to hold power over the lives of others. Here is a true story- one I lived through as it happened. You be the judge. Thanks Bilal Cleland for sharing this saga again now. In 2018 a two year old girl, who had been born in the detention camp on Nauru was reported to be dying of encephalitis. Senior medical staff from the rather primitive hospital in Nauru said that they did not have the requisite specialists or equipment. An email said: "Again, I would like to reiterate that I recommend Australia as the first option". But Dutton wasn't having a bar of that. Given he didn't want the bad publicity of a two year old dying, he relented and sent the child to a hospital in Papua New Guinea, costing $137,000. While she did improve slightly in Port Moresby, the hospital staff there knew they were out of their depth in the treatment of such a sick little girl. The hospital did not have a paediatric anaesthesiologist to properly sedate her during the MRI she needed, nor a paediatric neurologist, both of which were necessary for the girl's care. But the Department of Home Affairs doubled down, and insisted PNG was adequately sufficient, contrary to all expert medical advice it had been receiving. The girl then took a turn for the worse and the situation became dire. It took an urgent injunction hearing at the federal court in Melbourne where Home Affairs counsel Andrew Yuile, actually argued that equipment and staff could be provided to the hospital in PNG within seven days to prevent her having to come to Australia, or that she could receive treatment in a third country. Judge Bernard Murphy questioned the department's decision to send the girl to PNG instead of Australia in the first place, and said the department was "scurrying around trying to make arrangements" to do the tests in PNG with no guarantee that this could even be achieved. "We are talking about a two-year-old child who at some point ….. it was feared that she would die", Murphy said. He ordered that the girl and her mother be brought to Brisbane to undergo the tests at a tertiary-level hospital within 48 hours, and that her father, who remained on Nauru, should also be allowed to join them as soon as possible because he was fluent in English and the little girl and her mother weren't. "To rely on interpreters is to take another risk with the applicant's health", the judge said. The department resisted every move to save the girl's life every step of the way and were suggesting she even be taken to a hospital in Taiwan for further care. This cost the taxpayer hundreds of thousands of dollars (undisclosed settlement) in legal fees and delayed treatment for ages for what reason, I ask you? And how much was expended on this when simply bringing the girl to Brisbane in the first place would have saved so much money not least of which was a wasted trip to PNG? This is Peter Dutton.

Least surprising thing ever. (He was sacked for misconduct and stripped of his Order of Australia. Not that you’d know from the ABC who’ve been platforming him ever since.)

Zionism is the only ideology where stealing land, bombing hospitals, sniping civilians, and burning children alive is called "self-defense" - but throwing a rock at a tank is "terrorism."

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

The ABC has been shilling for gas for years. Both of these are from 2022, take your pick, nothing has changed.

ABC Gas Gaslighting Again
The possible destruction of a millennia-old sacred site for foreign fossil-fuel profits is framed, instead, as necessary to address a “gas crisis”. Shameful.
