'It's Time' that the archival materials relating to the Whitlam dismissal are released to the public by the National Library of Australia. It seems HM approved of Whitlam's dismissal by our GG John Kerr. I wonder if she gave that assent before or after he acted.

When PM Howard ripped 80 million out of community-based childcare he set in train the privatisation of a sector that had originated in feminist initiated collectives so mothers had the choice to work.

If APA Group @insideapa.bsky.social builds new pipelines through the heart of Australia, 1200 fracking wells could be drilled across the #Beetaloo.

Fracking requires toxic chemicals that are dangerous to human health. Once they pollute our soils and drinking water, it’s incredibly difficult to fix.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago 31 A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. “My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Renewables have produced more power than coal globally for the first time. Solar output jumped 31% from last year and wind added another 7.7%. Coal fell, led by declines in China and India. Global greenhouse gas emissions are barely rising, up just 0.3% a year since 2015, compared with 1.7% before.
