There should be a rule in #auspol and media that if you seriously mention carbon capture and storage as a thing you should be banned forthwith. It doesnโ€™t fucking exist. A fossil fuel industry myth. #insiders

...meanwhile @australianlabor.bsky.social & @albomp.bsky.social completely waste their parliamentary majority by making the bare minimum they can get away with in reforms: cancelling out actions on climate with emission production increases; not addressing increasing inequalities etc etc #auspol

What ceasefire? Residential neighborhood in the village of Qalandiya, north of Jerusalem, residents ordered to evacuate their homes, despite holding ownership deeds dating back to 1936 #FuckIsrael #auspol @australianlabor.bsky.social

So with the US seemingly about to launch a Special Military Operation in Latin America, has anyone asked our government their position on this?

Is intel from Pine Gap being used for any of these drone strikes?

Are we condemning the murders at sea? Or calling for calm?

A massive milestone - well done Victoria!

A Treaty to provide a direct voice for Victorian First Nations people and an opportunity to include, listen, learn and collaborate with those who have lived here for 60 000 years before us

We are all better for this

Obviously, because NSW needs MORE police powers to enforce the existing laws...and @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social claim that he didn't know because 'it was the weekend' is laughable and literally unbelieveable #nswpol

Include @albomp.bsky.social & @australianlabor.bsky.social in this. We are also coming for them at the next federal election; yes it may take a few more elections & climate disasters for the message to spread, but duopoly politics IS dead one way or another, just hanging out for the burial #auspol

Betcha in 10yrs time we'll see a legislative process (see social media bans) to address dangers of machines free access to data. Hint -inanimate processing is ingenious, but it is not 'learning' or 'intelligent'; it's processing data, that is all. #auspol

Investors want dividends, this is the only reason it's being pushed; they don't want to bankrupt their businesses. Oh, & they want us to be stupider than they are. Surely we have plenty of stupid enough people & MP's now? #auspol

Police authorisation of Sydney neo-Nazi demonstration sparks calls for protest law review A neo-Nazi protest received NSW Police authorisation to go ahead outside NSW parliament on Saturday morning.

NSW Police go out of their way to approve a Neo Nazi rally โ€” then Premier Minns uses the โ€œstuff upโ€ as an excuse for *more* laws restricting free speech. The whole thing stinks of a blatantly obvious stitch-up by vested interests. Pathetic.

Illuminating. Now, with Marles and Albanese so keen to pursue Morrison's #AUKUS scam, we seem totally owned by the security industry and the rogue US.

So much for the hoped for 'robust discussion' within the labor caucus, or the ALP for that matter. Is there no-one left in this ALP government with actual ethical principles?

Indeed, it's galling that this shitfuckery gets nothing more than a nod & a wink from our governments. This week's prize goes to Toy Soldier Marles with his comments likening the killing machines expo in Sydney to a kind of Disneyland. I suggest they test these weapons on him & his ALP mates first๐Ÿ˜ก

Investigation into the murder of World Kitchen Central staff including Zomi Franckom was buried according to this article by Alison Broinowski:
โ€œthe incident simply disappearedโ€. The findings required a military police investigation, but โ€œit never happenedโ€.

Remember when the slave traders & overseers got compensation from their govt, but those enslaved people got nothing? Well, maybe freedom to be enslaved by the capitalist system.
It's still always about money for the few & nothing for the rest of us. #auspol
