Role of far-right ‘manosphere’ in homophobic attacks on men to be investigated in Victoria Exclusive: Greens move to call parliamentary inquiry after series of ‘disturbing’ attacks targeting gay and bisexual men lured via dating apps

Glad to see there will be an inquiry on these attacks and the motivations off the back of my reporting in the last year. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Grace is getting attacked right now because she stands up to abusers and bullies. That's who she is, who she's always been. I can't stop the stupid media from attacking her, but I can show my support through this post. #auspol #aupol #GraceTame

Climate emergency ignored as banks double down on coal and gas While communities burn and flood, major banks continue financing coal and gas expansion.

Climate-related disasters are already costing Australians $4 billion a year and are expected to rise to a whopping $35 billion by 2050. Australia’s housing market is expected to lose a staggering $500 billion in value by 2030. independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

Government continues to withhold climate risk report As allies share their national risk assessments for climate breakdown, the Albanese government refuses to release its ‘frankly terrifying’ report from 2022.

“This has been such a well-ventilated saga, trying to get this document out of the government, that everything points to the PM not wanting this to be released,” David Pocock says. satpa.pe/g5mX1GK

All the time. It's their only go-to excuse.

QLD police enabling one of their officers to perpetrate significant FV. Thought they'd have taken FV more seriously after those times they minimised the severity of violence experienced by other women and children. Guess not huh.

Gina Rinehart, Rupert Murdoch, James Packer, Sam Kennard, Jillian Segal - all named as funding/supporting some of these think tanks pushing climate disinformation - by Dr Jeremy Walker 'agressive propaganda vehicles' #auspol

Rather than tax corporations and the wealthy to uplift folks out of poverty and encourage diversity via humanitarian and visa programs, the Liberals are like yeah nah let's further embed racism to keep our pals sweet and lure ON voters.

This little cutie has been visiting us for a few weeks now. We recently moved the garden camera to see who uses this water bowl and have been able to catch this little rosella a few times.

Maybe Albanese, Minns & all Australian governments need to have a think about this 👇 #Auspol #NSWPol

It's like they just want positive reinforcement from the Murdoch base no matter how they can get it. And attacking Grace is a sure fire way of achieving that goal.

Very true to both points. It's always about discrediting and framing women who do not agree with them as unlikeable/attention-seeking when their male idols are revered in every way no matter what bigoted or harmful action they take.

Dragged from prayer – how Muslim belonging became conditional in Australia The police pulling Muslim men from prayer during protests against Isaac Herzog’s visit exposes how fragile Muslim belonging has become in Australia. Shaymaa Elkadi argues this was not a failure of jud...

"The brutalised community was told to manage the reaction to its brutalisation.

"This is the gaslighting that runs through the DNA of this nation: Muslims are harmed, and then told their response is the real problem."

Albo talking up killing machines again and the AUKUS alliance with Trump’s US - all while they pour billions of our public money into submarines we’re unlikely to see - and Australians can’t house themselves, afford the Doctor #auspol

Murdoch's misogynist minions are trying so hard to paint Grace as irrelevant. Bringing attention to genocide is too ethical or humane for them. If Barnaby & Pauline are calling for something, always do the opposite.
As this shero's t-shirt so eloquently put it, fuck Murdoch.

'More outbreaks' of deadly zoonotic disease in southern Australia Researchers say leptospirosis is emerging as a climate‑driven health threat in Australia, with frequent storms, floods and heatwaves pushing the disease further south.  #animals #wildlife #diseases #disorders

#BREAKING: Another young North Atlantic right whale has been found dead.

A 3-year-old female, identified as the 2023 calf of “Porcia”, was found washed ashore on the Virginia coast.

With around 380 remaining, we must do more to protect this species: https://oceana.ly/4aAKKDa

It's a good step that the LECC will investigate police misconduct and violence at Town Hall during the anti-Herzog protest. Now we need an independent investigation of the political incitement to violence by the NSW Premier and others.

Feels like the Liberal Party is simply rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

While I'm sure Taylor will claw back some insecure white male voters from ON, but if he's the best you've got you are in big trouble #auspol

Climate crisis linked to fall in southern right whale birth rates as researchers raise ‘warning signal’ Lead author of Australian study says breeding slowdown is linked to climate-driven changes in ‘magnificent’ whale’s foraging grounds

Interesting piece by @petrastock.bsky.social in @theguardian.com on the slowdown of calving in the Southern #rightwhales at the Head of the Bight, South Australia.

From a new scientific paper led by Claire Charlton

Maybe the news should be reporting on these stories too rather than just being worried about Grace Tame?

Watching Albanese tell us that we the Australian public need to bring the temperature down is gaslighting at its worst.

We didn’t invite Herzog. You were warned this would undermine unity and social cohesion yet you insisted.

Sydney protest: NSW premier defends police in ‘impossible situation’ after accusations of violence against protesters Politicians who attended protest against visit of Israeli president Isaac Herzog say police actions against demonstrators were ‘wildly inappropriate’

Our eyes don't lie.
Resorting to brutal and unnecessary physical violence against peaceful protests is wrong.
And who put the police in this allegedly 'impossible situation'?
Don't gaslight Australia. We're not the US.
Yet.

Minns govt decides social cohesion doesn’t count & right wing violence against their own citizens perpetrated by the state police force in support of a tiny minority who support genocide. Labor captured by fascists

Amidst all the other fuckery, BOM's '25 climate statement flew under the radar:

"Australia recorded its fourth‑warmest year on record, with the national annual average temperature 1.23 °C above the long‑term average.

Maximum temperatures were 1.48 °C above average"

A content warning for very, very significant police violence on this video: Israeli President Herzog is visiting Australia, and police in New South Wales are violently bashing prone protesters.

The media is framing it in completely neutral terms.

Watch the video, then look at the headlines.

New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

For Australian Governments who have, are in the process of or are planning to take away healthcare options for trans kids, please dont ignore the very real evidence that their lives are on the line goodlawproject.org/new-data-sho...

In the name of "social cohesion" NSW Police in Australia assaulted peaceful people praying.

Shame on them! Racist pigs.
