Since the ceasefire began on 11Oct25, Israel has launched 125 attacks on Gaza, killing 211 people (mostly women and children). After each attack, Israel announces it is "resuming the ceasefire". Western news media says very little. 😠 #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide

🌊 The Arctic is melting fast. A cargo ship just sailed from China to the UK via the Arctic for the first time, taking half the usual time.
Of course, what looks like a shortcut is really a warning: climate change is redrawing our planet’s map.

Dear ABC News,
Why do you refer to Israeli hostages yet Palestinian prisoners? The word prisoner implies they've committed a crime. Yet you know almost all of the Palestinians were held w/o charge, trial or conviction. Words matter. Hostages on both sides. #Israel #Palestine #JournalismMatters

so predictable
Adani was given free reign by both major parties to open up dangerous thermal coal mining in the Galilee basin.
They got grants, they got royalty holidays, they got favours and public money, and in return, Australians get nothing.

Despite $22bn promise, Adani has paid zero corporate tax in Australia and experts think it won’t ever pay a cent
Adani’s Australian assets regularly report annual losses despite strong revenue, in part due to big related-party payments
