Carney gets it. Time for Australian politicians to catch up

"Can we just fast forward to the bit where we get a sausage in bread?"

Can we please have an update, @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social, on steps you are taking to ensure authorities are investigating Australian IDF members for war crimes committed in Palestine, & taking necessary action, to keep all Australians safe. #auspol #StopIsrael #FreePalestine

Warning: If Trumpist Dutton and the LNP win the May 3 federal election the ABC will be destroyed (defunded, subscription only .. privatised). In the US Trump has cancelled Voice of America and now threatens PBS and NPR (National Public Radio).

Be warned fellow Aussies. Be very aware. One could add a number of equally egregious outcomes of a Dutton government, but this is a biggie; we need to take notice of @quentindempster.bsky.social. He knows the score from way back! Put LNP and their hangers-on LAST.

I support the Jewish community and all communities which call on the Australian Federal Government to impose sanctions on Israel after it resumed its horrific, sadistic and barbaric bombardment of Gaza. #auspol

And do not underestimate the power of the Zionist lobby and its tentacles - its ability to control what can and can't be said in Australian political and cultural dialogue.

We're hearing that Monash Vice Chancellor Sharon Pickering personally made the decision to cancel Khaled Sabsabi's exhibition after a phone call from Sarah Henderson. Care to comment, @monashuniversity.bsky.social? It would behove you respond as your reputation implodes...

An excellent critique of the caravan "mass casualty" accusation, totally unfounded, but used to whip up fear and loathing: johnmenadue.com/no-apologies...

Why not Albo? Hiding it to excuse your mediocre climate policies.

David Pocock and progressive independents have seen the “frankly terrifying” report on Australia's climate risks. He says it is “recklessly negligent” not to let Australians know as well. But if we knew, we might demand real policies. #auspol www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/environ...

Fans of the ever-perspicacious Robert Reich will enjoy this: shows his deep humanity and sense of humour rather than any hard politics. In loving memory of my very dear 6-foot-7-inch Republican senator friend open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Projections of Norwegian oil and gas production keep getting higher with each new estimate... Figure from here robbieandrew.github.io/norway/index..., but a broader discussion on the topic here www.linkedin.com/pulse/watch-...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This is a book for everyone, regardless of their politics. It deals realistically with so many problems of the day and offers hope in what sometimes seems a hopeless situation. It showcases an abundance of good ideas for a better future in language accessible to all." Erich Mayer in ArtsHub

Another sign of the trouble we're in. Thanks for the post, Julian. Hope NASA will survive but maybe not its climate-related work.

Just goes to show how supposed attacks on Jews (many fabricated) caught the attention of our govs while much worse attacks on Arabs and Moslems slip past endlessly with little attention.

A quick update on the total climf&%kery that's taking place. Through March 11th, 2025, the monthly average global surface temperature for March, 2025 is the hottest on record. The madness of this moment is going to end horrifically for most living creatures. And that is incredibly sad.

Thanks for post Prof. So much for the people who tried to soothe us with promises that temps in 2025 would revert to something more "normal", esp with the trend to La Nina conditions. E. Aus current still very warm, fuelling cyclone Alfred, impacting Northern NSW. We don't get cyclones, "normally".

Recently disclosed court documents reveal that Citibank was following requests from the FBI, the EPA, the EPA Inspector General, and the Treasury Department when it froze the accounts of several nonprofit organizations and state agencies in February.

Can I just point out that privatising this sector was a monumental mistake. When the gov ran the show, we at least had a chance of honest info and a fair deal.

‘Global weirding’: climate whiplash hitting world’s biggest cities, study reveals #Climate

@louiseadler1.bsky.social joined Fran on the RN Hour for a great discussion on protecting artistic integrity, pertinent in the aftermath of Creative Australia dropping Venice Biennale artist Khaled Sabsabi. ⤵️ Louise's essay "Culture, Money and Morals" features in our new book What's the Big Idea?

Fizzer. My @smh cartoon.

Says it all. Thanks God.

America this is your President. Not a 5 year old having a tantrum, your President in charge of your economy. It is so fucked.

“What the Trump administration is trying to do amounts to nothing more than trying to pollute the process with ideologically-motivated anti-science... It means that the U.S. federal government is now at war with humanity.” – Prof. @michaelemann.bsky.social

Great critique from retired Archbishop - of growth for profit alone, divorced from common good or what we actually want it for: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“America vetoes G7 proposal to combat Russia’s shadow fleet of oil tankers” Trump doing Putin’s bidding, yet again. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It’s a good thread

Happy World Wildlife Day! So here are some nice wildlife photos to mark the day. Euros, southern hairy-nosed wombat, goanna and koala. #WorldWildlifeDay

President Trump siding with the aggressor instead of helping defend Ukraine & the int’l rules-based order is deeply troubling. Treatment of President Zelensky was disgraceful & very hard to watch. Rest of the world stepping up is the right thing to do 🇺🇦 www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

Quite a lot more I suspect @joellegergis.bsky.social

Good idea.

What I find unforgivable is not only has Australia blindly followed the USA into Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Iran and Dog only knows where else, an @australianlabor.bsky.social government has made us complicit in the evilest of all acts: Israel's genocide of the Palestinians.

Don't believe in climate change? You better believe your insurance company does and you'll notice how much now they know cyclones are hitting Brisbane

So it seems. When the truth is simply that Netanyahu is offering a trick: to get the rest of the hostages back WITHOUT ending the war on Gaza. RN Breakfast did air one commentator who grasped this simple truth.

If I were to set my sights on another topic for a long read like this one 👇,* what topic would you be interested in learning more about? * I could write in detail about most topics relevant to Australia's climate pollution. What do you want to learn more about?

Israel has chosen to mark the first days of Ramadan by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza. Still, our government refuses to implement sanctions and defend international law. There is no other way of putting it: this is a resumption of genocide — and our government is complicit.

Great shot!

Bravo Bernie - might have an effect.
