Forget the 'sun don't shine, wind don't blow' fossil urgers, Australia is heading to 100% renewables and solar is leading the charge #auspol michaelwest.com.au/forget-nucle...

This again? 🙄

Your chance to scream "I TOLD YOU SO!" into the void, yet again.

Trust fund babe ...

After over 3 years of negotiations, WHO Member States have finalized a draft #PandemicAccord to make the world safer from future pandemics. The draft agreement will now be submitted to WHO’s Member States meeting at the #WHA78 for consideration and adoption. bit.ly/3EaZQmL

The US and, UK have launched inquiries into the AUKUS "agreement". We should too.

Chaos theory or anarchists handbook?

"All available evidence doesn’t suggest accidental crossfire or collateral damage, but targeted killings – executions in the service of a slow, methodical ethnic cleansing campaign by the state of Israel." #israel #genocide #ethniccleansing #palestine #warcrimes

So RFK and Dr Oz are saying USians eat far too much junk food, which is true. And that they want them to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables. A good idea. Except junk food is cheap and fast, thanks to the industrial food chain, and fresh fruit and veges is expensive and time consuming for ...

"This week primary support for the two major parties was little changed with the Coalition up 0.5% to 33.5% and the ALP down 0.5% to 32%. Importantly for the Government, support for the Greens increased 1% to 14.5% ... )." www.roymorgan.com/findings/986... #auspol #auspol2025

A coal industry-funded group campaigning against progressive candidates in the federal election has deleted two months of social media posts after being pulled up by the Australian Electoral Commission over unauthorised content. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Well that's interesting. SBS news reporting on Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, said they were sending a delegation to the USA for tariff negotiations, mentioning buying more LNG, and reducing taxes on other products. Look for Australia to lose beef and gas contracts. #auspol #tariffs

Of course she's a renter. She rents them out to other people. #auspol2025 #auspol #lnplast

Use your preferences wisely. Vote 1 Greens, Independents, and Teals. #auspol #election2025 #preferences #Greens

Keep on doing what you've always done, and you'll keep on getting what you've always got. Vote 1 Greens, Teals and Independents, and get the change we need. #auspol2025 #auspol #climatecrisis #environment #preferentialvoting #compulsoryvoting #democracysausage

In the USA, ICE is going door to door, and disappearing children from their homes. We don't want Dutton and the LNP to bring that back here. For those of you who may have forgotten the Murugappans. www.bbc.com/news/world-a... #fascism #policestate ##usapoli #racism #bigotry #auspol #biloela

Ignorance is bliss. #FAFO

The perpetual war machine. Makes you wonder where the impending collapse of global capitalism and the climate crisis fits into this, doesn't it? #auspol #climatecrisis #worldpeace #socialequity #capitalism #militaryindustrialcomplex

Will Trudeau’s eventual bowing to pressure and resigning, be seen as a master stroke for the LPC results in this election?

Ooof. Notice from the ABC News live cross to Dutton earlier this morning, the journos were asking pointed questions, and were not allowing Dutton to obfuscate with his answers. All while his party colleagues stood literally shoulder to shoulder with him. Were they his security detail? #auspol

A major insurer says the climate crisis is a danger to global capitalism. The USA can't fulfil its scheduled military builds. Other countries have been forced to increase their "defence" spending. Everyone is kowtowing to POTUS47. When is the new Bretton Woods conference for the 21st century?

The people who didn't vote, because they couldn't, or couldn't be bothered? A pretty well reasoned summary of the clusterfuck that is the decline of the Empire. #FAFO

Attention Canadian (and PACRIM) mates. Let's use existing bilateral and multilateral agreements that EXCLUDE the USA and Russia. Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compreh... #elbowsup #flippersup #tariffs #tradewar #australia #canada

Wait! What?!

"Our democracy is not in crisis, but the audit conveys a potentially serious decline of trust in governments. A key reason is poor communication. The issue is not “democracy”, but rather the unpleasant and divisive nature of political discourse." #auspol #democracy #compassion #climatecrisis

Danger, danger!

Hot air? #auspol #climatecrisis #gasreserves

And that's how it's done.

Of all the bizarre Trump tariff stuff (poor Heard Island etc) there is the fact he put a tariff on Australian trade and no tariff on Russian trade. The guy literally loves Vladimir Putin more than us. Can we just cut the military ties please?

The government is implementing a Foreign Influence Registration Scheme. So we ask again: Who funds Labour Friends of Israel (@lfisrael.bsky.social)❓ Why does it refuse to say❓ Given LFI funds MPs, why isn't it required by law to declare its own funders❓ www.declassifieduk.org/who-funds-la...

I'm confused. 47 wants people to make deals for USian products and services, then whines because he thinks the deals aren't profitable enough for his cronies? Guess he'll have to give them his book to read, so they can negotiate more effectively. #NWGFFO

Time to take a deep breath, splash some cold water on our faces, recognise that the old world is dead (and needs to be dead) and the only alternative to fascism is to grow our democratic gardens on the grave of the old. Fun interview I did with Andy on 4ZZZ about transforming democracy here
