BREAKING: NACC Commissioner finally bows to public pressure and steps aside from all defence-related corruption referrals.

This is a major-general backdown from Commissioner Brereton who, up until now, tried to stare down the growing public revolt over the conflicts of interest.

Israel's genocide in Gaza never stopped. But UK media have enabled this latest lie If the Israeli fire has not ceased, by definition there can be no ceasefire. It is the media’s job to accurately and objectively relay this fact

Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe it.

Vulnerable to be cut off from free medical checks as Melbourne clinics axe services One of Australia’s largest community health organisations say funding shortfalls are forcing it to cut GP services and sell its Collingwood clinic.

Victorian Labor have deliberately ignored the need to upgrade this vital community health facility for years. I toured it almost 3 years ago and saw first hand the cracked and leaking walls in desperate need of repair, and repeatedly raised concerns with the government.

Labor's new "enviro" laws do nothing to protect nature and the climate, while fast tracking approvals for big business.

The Greens will not rubber stamp laws that fail to protect our native forests and climate. We need laws that protect nature, not make way for big business to make big profits.

Last weekend, a humpback calf was killed in a NSW shark net at the same time dozens of sharks were spotted inside nets in QLD.

Nets are not safety barriers; they are death traps.

Minister Watt needs to remove the EPBC exemption allowing these lethal, unscientific state culls.

Treaty has just passed Victoria's Parliament!

This is the first time in Australia's history that a Treaty (a legitimate agreement btwn First Peoples and VIC gov't) has been enshrined in law.

Thank you to generations of First Nations ppl who have fought for this historic moment.

1) Healthcare and childcare CEOs and top execs are getting rich by failing us.

They rake in millions in bonuses even as their companies rack up fines for misconduct or face safety breaches.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

Gaza under siege: The continuation of Zionist demographic cleansing policies since the 19th century Israeli propaganda tries to present the war on Gaza as a “defensive reaction.” Yet the historical record tells a very different story: systematic genocide, the destruction of civilian life and deliberate attempts to uproot entire populations. All of this is a direct continuation of Zionist colonial policies that began in the late 19th century.

#Gaza is not just a battlefield. It is the living proof of a people resisting a century-long attempt to erase them, showing that Zionist colonialism is not a coincidence, but a systematic project refined over more than a hundred years. #auspol #Israel #Palestine

Gaza situation "a disgrace to humanity" – Not a Ceasefire, Day 20 Looks like annexation preparation in Gaza; Israeli cruelty across West Bank; Francesca Albanese latest report; what are Israeli media telling their readers?

Taiwan as an integral part of China: A historical, legal and geopolitical analysis The status of Taiwan remains one of the most contested topics in modern geopolitics and one of the most misrepresented.

History, law and international consensus all point in one direction: #Taiwan has always been part of #China. From ancient documentation to post-war treaties, from UN resolutions to US diplomatic commitments, the evidence is overwhelming. #auspol

These contiguous posts in my timeline show how companies, both big and small, can either devote themselves to the trivial and evil or the substantive and good.

Family and friends 'taken or killed': From Australia, Emad is watching horrors unfold As Sudan's Darfur region faces an escalating crisis, hundreds are dead and families abroad wait helplessly for news of loved ones.

The violence in Sudan has left our Sudanese community heartbroken and feeling helpless.

I'm hopeful Australia can work with international partners to push for safe passage, humanitarian aid and peace.

Israel’s repeated ceasefire violations are part of its strategy to keep waging war on Gaza Here’s Israel’s strategy to continue the war on Gaza: find a pretext, no matter how baseless, use it to kill dozens of civilians and fighters, stop fire and claim you’re honoring the ceasefire. Then d...

COP30: Amazon rainforest destroyers For 33 years, the world’s leaders have postponed climate action despite incontrovertible scientific evidence and images proving that mankind is rapidly razing and scorching our only home.

"The unashamed levelling of this irreplaceable weather-making rainforest, including paving of its exquisite carbon storing wetlands, is indicative of the hypocrisy, greed and leaderlessness gripping the globe."

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
