These cops just flat-out assaulted an elderly man.

Plain as day that the cops are the only ones interested in violence.

Front page Epstein files story today reveals Steve Bannon told Clive Palmer to spend $60mil on anti-China and anti-climate change ads for the 2019 election.
D’ya think this could be why we want our media to ask “who’s behind this & who does it serve?” rather than just reporting “pollie said this”?!

Will the MSM NOW accept that if they're sticking with the "Climate 200-supported candidates" narrative, they have to acknowledge the "Advance-supported candidates" as well? Of which there are MANY (looking at you, Freedom Boy).

On this Pride March day in Victoria a big thank you to Premier Jacinta Allen for slapping down that atrocious, despicable, anti trans Murdoch goon Rachel Baxendale. Imagine on Pride day being so hateful to the most vulnerable of at risk children

Of course we do, while welcoming a man who signs bombs to kill children…

Australia’s grid now relies on renewable energy as much as coal. Those who doubted it look foolish Solar met the majority of electricity demand between 9am and 6pm in the past week as much of the country cranked air conditioners

As much of Australia cranked air conditioners in this week’s oppressive heatwave, solar met 59% of electricity demand between 9am and 6pm.

More than half of this was from small-scale systems spread across about 4 million roofs. The rest was from large-scale solar farms.

The Betoota Advocate "If It Looks Like A Terrorist Attack, Walks Like A Terrorist Attack, But Talks Like A One Nation Senator, Then It Isn't A Terrorist Attack" Says Australian Media

chaserwar The Chaser | John Delmenico Local man unsure if media is describing someone throwing a bomb at a First Nations protest, or just a kid doing some prank calls

The Chaser @chaser News rooms urge caution around using the word 'terrorism' when talking about throwing a bomb at an Invasion Day protest, "it's not like something extreme happened like a uni student eating a slice of watermelon."

Only the satirical news sites are covering the White Nationalist Perth shrapnel bomb attempt like it should be covered. #Auspol

Put the Hoodoo Gurus on the flag and we'll salute that

How the fuck do we live in a place where 60+ women are killed every year including 4 in just the past few days yet there’s no National Day of Mourning or prominent lapel pins or sobbing politician speeches or Special Envoy or Royal Commission or endless media commentary for THEM?

Statement by singer-songwriter Colin Hay; Down Under “Let me say that I most strenuously disapprove of any unauthorized, unlicensed use of Down Under, for any ‘March For Australia’ events. Down Under, a song I co-wrote, does not belong to those who attempt to sow xenophobia within the fabric of our great land, our great people. Down Under is ultimately a song of celebration. It’s for pluralism and inclusion; unity, not division. Go write your own song, leave mine alone.” – Colin Hay (immigrant)

Men at Work's singer-songwriter Colin Hay is not happy "Down Under" is being used by "March for Australia" events to promote racism and xenophobia. He posted this 👇 on social media today. #auspol #racism #AusMusic 🎶

News Corp asks why all writers & other artists are endorsing any & all of Randa Abdel-Fattah's views. That's not it. Writers & other artists are standing by a principle: oppose political pressure to silence any artist because they are First Nations, Palestinian, Jewish, or anything else.

legend status right here 🥇

spineless..

The focus on the ‘sensible centre’ has created a bad map where the road leads to nowhere, ignoring evidence when convenient and stifling democratic debate.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

A question for fearless journos out there to put to Australia's political leaders. Why do we have > $300 billion to attempt to buy submarines but not enough $ to pay more fire fighters & support staff & to buy more urgently needed firefighting equipment, so we have sufficient resources when needed?!

Authors withdraw from festival after Palestinian Australian author dropped After Randa Abdel-Fattah was dropped from Adelaide Writers' Week by the Adelaide Festival Board, a slew of authors, including Michelle de Kretser, have withdrawn from the event.

This is just the start of the backlash

This is utterly outrageous by the Group of Eight unis, and deeply insulting and undermining for environment and climate experts trying their hardest to achieve a more sustainable future for society. Shameful stuff.
