Beautiful Bruce Springsteen talking about our crisis. Said with as much heart as the music and lyrics he writes 🙏 @amylofgren.bsky.social @leftylofgren.bsky.social

Putting this ancient art at risk is truly appalling. It is one of the most important historical sites in the world, and Labor is letting it be degraded or destroyed by Woodside's air pollution.

Some 1,300 Israeli academics have issued an open letter recognising the complicity of their academic institutions in the "horrifying litany" of crimes committed against Palestinians, and calling on academic leaders "to mobilize the full weight of Israeli academia to stop the Israeli war in Gaza”.

It's #NationalBiscuitDay! Grab your pinny and mixing bowl and have a go at this tasty recipe for "Fine Shougar Biskets" from our 18th century herbal notebook. 🍪

It's clear there's been political interference into a report on the gas industry threat in Murujuga, and experts are speaking out. It's the most important rock art site in the world, but Government won't stand in the way of Woodside wanting more gas. @stephenlongaus.bsky.social #auspol
