Melbourne’s hospital cancelled their seminar on “children and war” because they were worried it might offend the people who support war

As the former newsreader I try not to comment on this show for the sake of my mental health, but this is gross and disgusting.
Him and his enabler Jackie “0” Henderson should hang their middle aged heads in shame.

Key message of conference in China hosted by #Xi is that he & India's #Modi have formed alliance to fight #Trump tariffs together & other nations have asked to join them. This is significant as China and India have been fighting over location of common borders for decades.

20 Killed in Gaza Hospital Strikes. Netanyahu Claims ‘Tragic Mishap.’

This atrocity carried out by #Israel was not 'mishap.' It was murder. Sanity of #Netanyahu is now serious question.

If Americans can't rely on Trump to protect them, how can we? Donald Trump is now downgrading America's intelligence capability. For countries dependent on that capability like Australia, it's another sign we're on the wrong end of a bad deal.

Absolutely true Bernard Keane. Australia's investment in #AUKUS is now worth NIL.

Can Zelensky Trust Trump? Ukraine’s Fate May Depend on the Answer.

Folly for #Zelensky to trust #Trump. No one can trust Trump. He doesn't possess one small scrap of honesty or integrity. Only way for #Ukraine to avoid another invasion by #Russia is to join NATO now.

Huge #Qantas fine tells us our once proud national airline is pale shadow of great company founded by Hudson Fysh in #Longreach many decades ago when passengers felt like family. Now run by robots who regard passengers and staff as consumable fodder.

In Washington today #Zelensky faces two enemies #Putin's Russia and #Trump's USA. Delighted that France UK & Germany are on your side as are majority of humanity.

Newspoll has PM hitting two-year popularity high Voters happy with PM Anthony Albanese's performance outnumber those dissatisfied for the first time in two years, a Newspoll suggests.

Message from #Newspoll is that government of #AnthonyAlbanese has no Opposition in Australian #Parliament & that #LNP has no one in its ranks who has capacity to be alternative Prime Minister.

Please help spread the word about the dangers of raw milk. Ask shops why on earth they sell it; warn parents. Calling it 'safe' is a lie. Some natural things are dangerous. Raw milk continues to kill children and cause miscarriages. Pasteurising milk has saved millions of lives.

WTF?

Putin has tried and failed to conquer Donbas since 2014.

Now he’s asking Trump to give it to him?

Deplorable.
Disgusting.
War criminals.

PRODUCTIVITY SUMMIT IGNORES FACT THAT AUSTRALIA CARELESSLY WASTES EXPERIENCE OF ITS OLDER CITIZENS - Everald Compton I have tried and failed to have the huge potential of unused productivity of Senior Australians on to the agenda of the Productivity Roundtable that takes place in Canberra next week. While I have bee...

Please read this now and send it today to your local Member of #Parliament asking them to send it on immediately to delegates to #Productivity Roundtable for action.

Trolls on #Twitter bash me for backing Australia's recognition of #Palestine. Many say I have lost my marbles. Can't deny this at 93 but can say I haven't lost my conscience nor compassion nor sense of justice nor generosity to people in strife. Thankfully most folk on #Bluesky are kinder souls.

It is worth remembering a little about Scott Morrison, the man who conceived AUKUS. He is the worst leader the country has ever had, unique in his venality ambition and unseriousness. He is a man without ambition for anything but himself, a man as useful as a briefing paper is to a chimp

hey quick question: is anyone in the government's leadership going to say anything about the ABC? surely a high profile unfair dismissal linked to managing cowing to a lobby group, and involving board meddling, is worth saying something? maybe even an investigation? some consequences for the board?

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

Memo to #abc730: Mike Pezzullo was sacked from the APS for breaching its Code of Conduct FOURTEEN TIMES. He left in disgrace. He was officially stripped of his Order of Australia. Why is he now being given access to your prestigious platform?

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

If there is one person in Australia who understands the power dynamics of trades, it’s…

NSW budget unlikely to allocate extra funding for long-promised great koala national park ‘People will see that we’re making progress on it,’ treasurer Daniel Mookhey tells Guardian Australia

Hope that #AnthonyAlbanese & #JimChalmers feature economic potential of #Seniors on Agenda of #ProductivityRoundtable. Older Australians want to work beyond retirement age, learn new skills at #TAFE to begin second careers, enter into intergenerational partnerships. Please give us a go.

Let’s just take a moment, as the Australian people, to thank our own good judgment amidst the Trumpian madness that we did NOT elect Peter Dutton and therefore sign ourselves up to whatever infernal imperialist bullshit that America might get up to in Iran. I love this for us. We rock. #auspol

On The Eve Of Destruction The big week in international, federal and state politics digested and analysed in the weekly New Politics podcast.

It’s the “weapons of mass destruction” lies that were used as a pretext to invade Iraq in 2003. Different faces, same lies. But will it work against Iran in 2025?

#Woodside
When Howard and Downer bugged Timor to steal their resources, it was never to benefit Australia, it was always to benefit the American managed and majority owned Woodside Resources
Are we under duress?
Are we held to ransome?
What other explanation could there be?

Am concerned that #Israel is bombing nuclear facilities in #Iran. Is this about to cause a huge radiation problem as we had at #Chernobyl.

Do you want your sons and daughters to die for Trump?
