Oz Museum talk 13/2/25 Pilburra Rock Art 50,000 years old threatened by fossil fuel extraction. Burr up Hub WA home to worlds oldest human art, 10x the age of pyramids. Woodside would rather they had money & we had the pollution & no one had the art. ‘Australian Apocalypse’

reminder that our politicians care more about hypothetical Israelis at Bankstown hospital than actual Israelis deliberately bombing hospitals in Gaza. johnmenadue.com/gaza-the-dea...

One more time for anyone who hasn't yet got the message: don't mention the war...or the genocide www.theguardian.com/artanddesign... Is the NGA is being ironic using 'white flags' to cover images referencing Palestine?

Email your MP about protecting the right to peaceful public protest in NSW knittingnannas.org/2025/02/17/a...

Israel’s ongoing assault on the West Bank is not to wipe out the Palestinian resistance. It is to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their homes and set the stage for annexation.

A petition from Australians for a Murdoch Royal Commission calling on parliament to investigate the Daily Telegraph's actions at Cairo Takeaway. The Murdoch media has thus far been allowed to divide and provoke with impunity, and this can't go on. www.megaphone.org.au/petitions/pe...

It is the job of the artist to provoke, to be controversial, to be outspoken, to get us to think. Isn't that one of the main points of art? If we start cancelling every artist because they "create debate" then who the hell are we as a society? Craven cowards. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

The willingness of our politicians, institutions and corporations, from the ABC down, to allow themselves to be intimidated like this speaks to the fragility of our democracy. Lattouf, Sakr, Lalor and now Sabsabi. By being so gutless, these organisations make us all vulnerable to authoritarianism.

Creative Australia ditching Khaled Sabsabi as our representative at the Venice Biennale is an extraordinary denial of artistic freedom by our supposedly leading & independent arts advocate. A week ago Sabsabi said he thought the honour "wouldn’t happen because of who I am.” Turns out he was right.

Santos gets fined $10,000 for spewing 25,000 litres of oil off the coast of Western Australia while young activist fined $2,500 for ATTEMPTING to protest outside the Woodside CEO Perth home. Do these judges even know about #ClimateBoiling? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I hear Dutton is spruiking skills he learnt as a Qld cop...what? Like how carry brown paper bags and wear a blindfold?? #auspol

Despite our government calling it a technology sharing agreement, AUKUS ties us to US foreign policy for decades, and to a degree to US domestic policy. Finding a way out of AUKUS is essential. Difficult, but essential. #AusPol

We were always complicit

Bridget McKenzie tells #AfternoonBriefing she believes Trump’s decision to kick out Palestinians from Gaza & “take over” is smthng we should “consider” “He’s obviously very compassionate towards the 2million ppl that reside within Gaza”😳 wow ABC is a disgrace for having her on.

Is it the case Zionists aim to attract more Jewish people to immigrate, and that MSM reports of 'anti-semitism' (remember Palestinians are semites) & the fear thus generated, all works to Zionist agenda, that only safe place for Jewish people is Israel? www.timesofisrael.com/over-29000-i...
