This Magnolia contributed more towards our planetary system than the land owner, myself of most humans could ever hope to, yet the cost for its destruction was only $3000. It’s no where near enough. #biodiversity #sustainableplanning #ecocide www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

An unarmed aid ship is attacked in transit - and the silence from the West is deafening. Wealthy countries should be sending ten-fold replacements every time an aid shipment is destroyed, instead of hand-wringing inaction as the people of Gaza starve. #auspol www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Why is the media (I’m looking at you ABC) obsessed with questioning Independent candidates about their Climate 200 donations, yet they don’t question major party candidates about their party’s donations from Gina & Co? #ABC730 #AusPol

I wish the leaders of our fossil fuel addicted neoliberal political duopoly would read this excellent summary of what needs to be done by whoever gets elected this Saturday - for our country’s sake I hope it’s a Labor government reliant on the support of Greens and progressive Independents. #auspol

Can a journalist please ask Dutton what his understanding of ‘Country’ is in regard to #WelcometoCountry ? His connection to the truth is inversely proportional to First Nation peoples connection to country #auspol

“This idea, that Israel’s conduct in Gaza is in line with the U.S. military’s understanding of its own legal obligations, has become the general consensus among American military lawyers and their allies in the academy.” Terrifying! www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

If you’re not sure about what ‘Welcome to Country’ is about then please take the time to understand what First Nat ions people mean when talking about ‘country’. If we all felt this connection we’d all be far better off. #WelcometoCountry www.smh.com.au/national/sto...

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —Arrested at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Desperate Dutton as the polls look worse for him - LNP comes back to where they’re most comfortable - scaring people on law and order issues and inflating crime numbers. Predictable. Inevitable #auspol

It’s 2025 and we’re still seeing apologist headlines for men who kill women. This is a man who chose to coercively control. This is a man who chose to intimidate, threaten and stalk. This is a man who planned a complex, brutal attack. This is a man who chose to violently murder a young woman.

Andrew Wilkie is the independent MP for Clark. Sally Doyle is Huonville's salmon backing mayor. Daniel Wildman's FB says "Forklift driver at Tassal" How many of the big three salmon producers are processing dead or diseased salmon for human consumption? Foul!!

Interesting chats with my Canadian cousins. The threat of Trump has galvanised the country and pushed aside the culture wars that right wing politics thrive on. But there is also a genuine fear that the ‘51st State’ rhetoric is real. Having the cheetoh living next door is no laughing matter

Fucking hell, Israel has opened across-the-territory airstrikes on their Gaza concentration camp. They're just exterminating at this point. Israel rejected the peace offerings over and over, they broke the cease-fires over and over, and now they're bombing schools, refugee camps, children, humans.
