Trauma surgeon describes 'enormous' daily e-scooter toll in hospital - ABC News

Read this. It is worth every moment of your time. www.smh.com.au/world/middle...

Who else was throwing things at TV when Sarah Ferguson #ABC allowed Timmy Wilson to make wild claims about how the economy will be “rooned” if super-rich pay tiny tax on vast super wealth? We heard it all before when same T Wilson undid Shorten’s essential changes needed to CGT & FCs. Also by lies.

Today I celebrate with gratitude another life on this earth. Every child born & yet to be born should have the same privilege. That's my passion until my last breath. Peace and security for all. And for our planet.

Gazan Doctor who lost nine children in Israeli strike dies of wounds. “Dies of wounds…” inflicted by the barbaric IDF, aided and supported by wholly corrupt USA. His widow -also a paediatrician- has lost 9 children and her husband to Israeli insanity while the world waits. For WHAT?

3 steps @albomp.bsky.social must take now to condemn deliberate mass starving of Palestinian children by Israel, a crime against humanity. 1. Expel Israeli Ambassador 2. Issue sanctions against Israel 3. Cut all economic, diplomatic and military ties with Israel that enable these war crimes

10 June 2024. And what has happened since? The Australian government cannot play “big boys” when it suits, then hide in a cupboard when it comes to the most profound moral crisis of our time. @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social You are my elected representative. Speak out. Act. Now.

insidestory.org.au/the-flashing... This is a fine article about the reality of rising Jewish fundamentalism & its increasing power. Not enough about the US “Christian” fanatics & their role in the destruction of peace. And true care for the holocaust caused? No. But the religion factors crucial.

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

Opinion | If the horrors unfolding in Gaza are not a red line for Australia to take stronger action then I don’t know what is - Guardian Australia

Are you also incredulous Abbott dares to make demands of @sussanley.bsky.social? Quick reminder it was 2012 when PM Gillard made her thrilling #misogyny speech; 2013 when he appointed himself Minister for Women in a Cabinet w one [email protected] nails it! www.smh.com.au/opinion/tony...

The ongoing loss of life, starvation and human suffering in Gaza is unconscionable and I do not accept that Australia's influence is limited. I have written to the Prime Minister asking him to use the authority of his office in a stand against the actions of Israel. #gaza #auspol bit.ly/4mz81ut

mondoweiss.net/2025/05/huma... Decency & humanity is on life support. The US is responsible… Israel a pariah state now capable only of harm. Palestinian statehood, reinforced by UN Peacekeepers and fresh elections. As well as reparations from the bandits to rebuild devastated lives. Nothing less.

Please watch this.

Net zero 2050 but NWShelf gas until 2070 means squillions of ACCUs required. Just as well we have 100% offsets #SafeguardMechanism filled with dodgy HIR ACCUs. Whole thing is a carbon bomb and a fraud to enable it. Serious investigation would bring down this house of cards. @ketanjoshi.co

"Approval of the North West Shelf extension would be easily one of the worst decisions ever made by an Environment Minister in Australia's history," said @grogsgamut.bsky.social.

Unable to justify their army killing children in Gaza, Israelis retreat into deep denial. No words. Unlimited disgust & horror. Israel a state that has no claim to democracy, decency, or “Jewishness”. Fascist bigots & messianic zealots betraying humanity.

Greens Senator David Shoebridge says the conviction of RTO whistleblower Richard Boyle means Australia has now "criminalised courage". He wants Labor to join his party in helping to pass stronger protections for whistleblowers.

One of the world's leading rock art specialists has accused the WA government of producing "propaganda" to support its view that Woodside's controversial North West Shelf gas project should be allowed to extend, labelling government-produced documents a "disgrace to Australian science".

open.substack.com/pub/owenjone... Ex-Israeli PM admits genocide. What more does Australia need? (And let’s stop this fraudulent nonsense of the ABC broadcasting Netanyahu’s vile self-justifying propaganda. No more.)

"Gas companies are the gold medallists in avoiding tax," @grogsgamut.bsky.social went to the Australian Energy Producers conference, and explained what you won't be hearing from the execs inside. #auspol

Labor approves extension of Woodside’s contentious North West Shelf gas development - Guardian Australia How dare they? This is a monstrous betrayal — of generations to come and of Aboriginal legacies. Murray Watt & PM Albanese stand diminished. And NOTHING is gained.

Murdoch whistles, and @albomp.bsky.social comes a runnin’. When Murdoch promotes a project, you knows it’s not good for Australia #auspol

The ABC has removed an interview with Nasser Mashni, head for APAN, so The Shot is republishing our interview as a standalone piece. Listen to this man speak his powerful, human truth. Spread his word, it's being censored by your state broadcaster. Fuck the genocide www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC3D...

I miss the days when I felt hopeful about our world. Yes, I know there are billions of good people, but we remain dispersed, our MSM complicit in harm, our capacity for effective collective action has collapsed. I’m old now but I care passionately that the young & very young deserve so much better.

I'm interested to hear your views on last night's 4Corners re the fractured Liberal Party. My thoughts? 1) Too little questioning of "values" ,"competence", wildly inaccurate claims of "better economic management"; some v shop-worn attacks on Labor, incl "taking the nation over the cliff". 1/3

@cathywilcox.bsky.social - says it all. When we get the "news" that Littleproud, Mckenzie et al, have decided to slide back for their shadow ministry privileges, while adding NOTHING to the public good...it will not be a good day for Australian politics. Or people. They represent nothing but miners.

AT LAST. Some strong words today from the PM. Now we need even stronger action. The days for distracting claims as to who are the victims here are long over. A nuclear-armed state is slaughtering & starving an imprisoned stateless population. We are NOT helpless. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

In case you might think all Israelis and for that matter all we Jewish folk are united about what that monster Netanyahu is doing www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
