I went to @greenparty.org.uk conference - and unlike Labour, didn't get the boot.
But will the Greens succeed in convincing Labour voters - and what about the threat of Farage?

Kerry Stokes quits, amid planned merge with Southern Cross Media. Worried about misinformation? You're the problem, according to tech overlords. Kidman and Urban's divorce hasn't stopped press from go...
#MediaWatch: @lintonbesser.bsky.social provided a superb summary of #SevenWest media's Kerry Stokes' career & plans. Social media's refusal to monitor misinformation. Plus the vile reporting on the Kidman-Urban split by the tabloid trash gossip mag media. #journalism iview.abc.net.au/show/media-w...

Remember when L Reynolds was advised to go into "hospital" by her cardiologist due to the stress the B Higgins story was causing her, it's funny how she now appears to be able to handle the enormous stress that comes with continuous litigations without alarming her cardiologist π€

The destruction is complete. Israeli forces are destroying orchards, ploughing up crops and spraying herbicides. Gaza used to produce 40% of its food needs, apparently now, less than 2% of its land is viable.

The State Government was warned not to prop up Griffin Coal but went ahead anyway.

In English, the claim they have not mistreated any of the flotilla crew. In Hebrew, they admit to brutalising them. Australian citizens are telling DFAT they are being tortured, DFAT and the government have said nothing. Makes you wonder, does Albo put Israel head of Australians?

The Australian National Press Club's decision to cancel Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges' address is shameful. He was to speak on Israel's murder of journalists in Gaza and the media's silence on this. #IsraeliWarCrimes #JournalismMatters

Had the government said "as a mark of respect, we'd like you to cancel football matches, concerts etc AND protests today", then fair enough. But to single out the protest they've long wanted to stop anyway as the one thing we should not do looks like disgraceful exploitation of a horrific attack.

DFAT has now confirmed Australians and others have been abused by Israeli authorities after their abduction from the flotilla.
Assaulted and injured. Deprived of sleep and medication. Still illegally detained.

Considering over 60% Australian children go to public schools, over 90% disabled and special needs children, and those the private schools exclude, this is a deliberate act of bastardary.
Cβwealth govt funds 80% private schools and 20% public schools. The States and territories unequal funding.

This is so insane. Public education needs a massive boost, not cuts. Almost all non-gov schools are religiously affiliated in some way- why are we outsourcing education to religious orgs? Education is compulsory- we should have pride in and strengthen our secular public schools, not undermine them.
