US military planning for divided Gaza with ‘green zone’ secured by international and Israeli troops Exclusive: Almost all Palestinians have been displaced to ‘red zone’ where no reconstruction is planned

And so the genocide continues in hushed silence, with the rest of the world lulled into a false sense that it has ended... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

The Arts do more than make money, they tell us who we are.

They’re an investment in culture, community, critical thinking and social cohesion. They shine a light on what it means to be human. ❤️ Maybe that’s why authoritarians hate the arts"

Remember when the Liberal Party trashed the NBN, they delivered a third rate NBN……..the Liberals are useless at delivering quality infrastructure…..

The Coalition claims pursuing net zero will increase power bills – but in the real world the opposite is true The International Energy Agency, once known for an anti-renewables bias, now says a more ambitious transition will lower prices

Renewable's are inherently cheaper because we don't have to pay the sun & wind etc for their energy.

Unlike #carbon.

The #oil, #gas & #coal companies have to get a (BIG) cut. Which is - duh! - why they campaign so hard against #renewables

How the Catholic Church fights abuse survivors A year ago, the High Court handed down a decision that was a blow to survivors of child sexual abuse everywhere.

There should be no forgiveness for the Catholic Church for their underhanded further abuse of victim survivors.

The most egregious crimes that you could see in our lifetime were committed against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Interestingly, the people who are complicit in those crimes are the same people who feature prominently in the #EpsteinFiles

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

The Liberals’ so-called ‘founding principles’ underpinning their decision to dump net zero fail the credibility test The party’s imminent move to abandon the 2050 climate goal makes the environment the loser and Labor the biggest winner

Australia's mainland state capitals are ALL in the top 15 for cities worldwide with respect to housing unaffordability. There might be some discussion to be had on whether median or mean figures were used for this, but Australia has reached basket case level. These are not figures to be proud of.

How did Australian universities go from free education to $50,000 arts degrees in 50 years? Thanks to the Job Ready Graduates scheme, an arts degree today will cost over $50,000. How have five decades of government policy taken us from free education to this?

3) I’ll try an ev

Qld Senator Matt Canavan has tweeted 30+ posts attacking #ClimateAction, #renewables or #NetZero in the last 5 days. He never mentions that business & farmers support climate action. Would it be unfair to ask if he's receiving donations from the fossil fuels industry? 🤔 #auspol

No Labor govt since has dared to have a suite of policies as progressive.

That was one of the most damaging consequences of that atrocious act, and it is unforgivable.

I still maintain my rage.

One of the most damaging and enduring aspects of the Dismissal, fifty years ago today, was its poisoning of the electorate against the Whitlam government, ensuring that it would lose the subsequent election and creating fear of progressive government.
