Oh my gosh, I am actually LOLing at the New York Post.

Full marks to Crikey for breaking the embargo to publish this insult to the national intelligence

King's Birthday honours list or shitgibbon awards, take your pick... story by @cameronwilson.bsky.social for @crikey.com.au www.crikey.com.au/2025/06/06/s...

Carl Sagan in 1986 on the problems with media and science literacy.

Australia's environmental laws do nothing to protect our forests. This is bauxite mining in Perth's water catchment, once a unique jarrah forest. #Saveourforests #Auspol

Straddles South Australian Victorian border Over extraction of water Algal blooms #auspol Another known collapsing ecosystem, ignored ANOTHER massive fail WASF

😡😡😡😡

Partnership is gonna go down like the Titanic. #auspol

Safe level of atmospheric CO2 - 350 ppm Level in 1995, when governments got together at COP1 to address climate change - 363 ppm Level today - 430 ppm

Kristi Noem admitted – under oath – that Republicans voted to allow January 6 rioters to serve as ICE officers... including ones who murdered Capitol police. Now you know why they wear masks and refuse to show ID.

Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

Yikes

Last bit of trade news for the night, I’ll leave the meaning up for your interpretation

This Neanderthal administration has plenty of money for gigantic presidential birthday parades, but no money for Nobel Prize winning neuroscientists? WTF? 😭

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

My youngest created a word that I think works well here. Vominate 🤮

Are we great yet?

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

No money for people with disabilities. No money for the elderly. No money for children in poverty. Always money for war.

When warnings of Insectageddon were issued a few years ago, there was widespread denial. Less so now. It's devastating. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Life of a Joni Ernst comms director 🤣

This is great to see! A long time coming and very much needed by minimum wage workers. But now do social welfare payments 💁💁💁 #RaiseTheRate #AusPol

10 years after gas exports from Queensland began, all of the gas companies involved, bar one, have not paid a cent in company tax. This is despite them selling $125 billion worth of LNG out of Queensland, and reporting $330 billion in total Australian revenue. #auspol

The Restaurant & Café Assn argued the minimum wage should rise by less than the annual inflation rate (ie: a real wage cut) www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... If cafe etc owners can't survive except by stealing from workers, they move to the USA where staff subsist in poverty on tips. #auspol

Woodside has created an unhealthy climate of thought whereby public officials have come to think that the interests of Woodside are the interests of the people of WA and Australia. @waterfordjack #auspol #woodside

Please listen to the UN General Secretary.

This is abuser-level gaslighting from the Albanese government

Sarah Hanson-Young says it’s not up to Donald Trump to be “dictating to others” including to Australia on Defence spending. “I know he thinks he’s the King of America, but he’s certainly not the King of the world.”🔥💥 #auspol youtu.be/0Zc0xrSxbZw?...

You'd have to have lived under a rock for a decade to think that tourism in Queensland in 20 years won't be profoundly changed by climate change. Already, mass bleaching occurred in 6 of the past 10 summers. By 2045, the Great Barrier Reef will be unrecognizable. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Goodnight everybody

House prices are up, again. The housing crisis is putting home ownership further out of reach for millions of renters and first home buyers. To fix this, Labor must end the $176b in tax handouts to wealthy property investors. Housing should be for people, not profit.

"Confected outrage at the very wealthy paying slightly more tax is misguided and misdirected." Great piece on proposed super changes by @gemkillen.bsky.social womensagenda.com.au/latest/dont-...

Thanks Stephen Mayne. When covering this Abbott meets Vance yarn on p2 today, the Herald Sun should have a disclosure at the bottom: “Tony Abbott is an independent non-executive director of Fox Corp, sister company of News Corp, publisher of the Herald Sun”.
