Revealed today: NACC Commissioner Paul Brereton has attended 18 formal Defence functions as Major General since July 2023 - all while supposedly independently investigating Defence corruption. He even asked the Chief of Army for a favour to keep his rank. Conflict of interest?

The biggest problem with the ALP right now is it is led by someone who irrationally hates the Greens. He doesn't really like to "fight Tories"; he loves to fight the party that reveals his actual lack of "left-wing" positions. Someone needs to tell him to get over his uni politics crap.

Every day a new atrocity in #Gaza. And still the UK supplies lethal weaponry to the Israeli government. There is a term for this: complicity in genocide.

Doing nothing about climate change costs far more than doing something. Not just in terms of cold hard cash either, but that too. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“Fixing climate change is too expensive.” Um no. What’s really expensive is doing nothing. Climate disasters cost billions—and those costs are rising fast. Climate solutions save money and lives, as well as building a better world for us all 🌏💚

This is a genuine scandal. Senior government health officials ignored legal advice, deleted crucial text messages and misled investigators over the handling of a series of contracts worth $9 million. NACC won't tell me if it is investigating... www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/health/...

"Canadian officials felt they had been played by Israel when they were pressured to cut funding to the UN Refugee Works Agency based on allegations its staff had colluded with Hamas in the Oct. 7 attacks. Canada was promised intelligence that would back up those claims, but didn't receive it..."

As others have pointed out, we have UN reports, genocide experts and the world’s leading human rights organizations, all reaching the same conclusion—that Israel is committing genocide. And @australia.theguardian.com is using 'scare quotes'? There is no war in Gaza. There is only GENOCIDE.

The NACC has now been in operation for almost two years and it has made headlines, not by tackling corruption, but from repeatedly stumbling over conflicts of interest. That cannot be allowed to continue.

"Ethnic cleansing has become the official policy of Israel. The nation’s leaders are admitting it, without apology. There was barely a pretense before. But now there’s not even that. And these admissions, combined with mass killing on the ground, point to something even more horrific: genocide."

So true: "…much mainstream thinking on economics does not take the climate crisis into account. Most governments preparing budgets, for instance, do not include climate impacts in their estimates, and... estimates of climate damage are also far too modest." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Our research found that over 800,000 Australian homes are not fully insured, including many with mortgages. Taxing fossil fuel companies and investing in a National Climate Disaster Fund would help keep Australians safe from physical risks and financial ruin. #auspol

Genocidal Israel's war crimes and ethnic cleansing could not be denied MONTHS ago. While it is tempting to say 'better late than never', it is inexcusable that so many in positions of authority are coming to this view so late, while the killing continues. And so many in power STILL fail to act.

The reported atrocities in Gaza demand action. Innocent lives, families, and futures are being destroyed. Australia must act to help end the violence & uphold international law. Urge the govt to call for a ceasefire & accountability. Take action now: action.amnesty.org.au/act-now/end-... #auspol
