Hmm. I confess I don't completely disagree with the Israeli edit.

Francesca Albanese stated that the economic and political system that enables genocide is the common enemy of humanity.

Pro-Israeli government accounts have edited the video to make it appear as if she is saying that Israel is the common enemy of humanity.

Good to see the Israeli President’s non-political goodwill tour conclude with him telling protestors to go stand outside the Iranian embassy. He’ll be leaving us with so much unity and social cohesion we’ll all need a good lie down.

Same. I'm now just "tell me what they come up with" after they've finished.

Labor will never have a better time to revisit carbon pricing – but does it have the stomach to make polluters pay? | Clear Air The government has not made enough of a dent in emissions, but global trends and a shambolic opposition offer a rare opportunity to act

A column today:

China and India reduced coal power last year. Is now the time Australia can tackle its big polluters by making them pay? (With some arguments in between these two issues.)

The IOC is even more corrupt than FIFA.
Same IOC that refuses to ban athletes used as propaganda by terrorist Russia.
Same IOC that allowed 23 Chinese swimmers who all failed doping testing to compete in the 2021 Tokyo games.
Same IOC busted numerous times for bribery.

Winter Olympics 2026: Russian athletes linked to pro-war activity BBC Sport finds evidence raising questions over the neutral eligibility of four Russian athletes.

The IOC's decision is morally wrong. Especially when they have continued to let Russians with links to the attack on Ukraine continue to complete - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articl...

so "propaganda" in a form of remembering those who died is forbidden, but propaganda in terms of serving self-presentation of authoritarian regimes organizing games is fine according to IOC

Ukrainian service members have launched a social media campaign to support skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych, who is facing pressure from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at the 2026 Winter Games.

I’ve written for Bearly Politics on the need for musicians, filmmakers and writers to take a stand against the rise of the Far Right.

Thousands of people come out again and again to show they’re on the right side of history.

My union (ASU NSW/ACT) and my employer (Justice and Equity Centre) have signed the letter calling for an independent review of Protest Policing following Monday’s disgrace in Sydney. So so proud. www.asu.org.au/ASU_NSW_ACT/...

Our whole economic system also depends on a 5% unemployment rate.

The least we could do is pay them properly!

If you depend on the goodwill of the nation alone to promote your cause, or the earnest solicitation of some people with life experience and no major financial backing, good luck to you. See: the Voice.

Generally, groups that bring the greatest influence have money so they can employ people to do the lobbying, arrange meetings, organise networking events, pay for trips, offer incentives, threaten to withdraw support, fund campaigns - and contacts so they can pull strings. Look at coal, gambling.

“Follow the money” is always the answer if you wonder why some people wield more influence than others.

100%. The reason people turn to extremist parties like One Nation is the major parties are more interested in pleasing their donors at the expense of the needs of people. People are so frustrated they will try anything else and they don’t seem to be hearing the message.

The problem of big party politics… and this is true across the aisle … is that they imagine a change of leadership will correct their public standing.
Not a change of policy. Not a realignment toward public need and sentiment, but a change in figurehead. Says it all really.

"A free society is loud, it is often controversial and offends some, and is frequently inconvenient for others and those in power. That is precisely why its protection is essential."

Very funny, but on a serious note, this is entrapment and you will be prosecuted by our DOJ. The Department of Jellyfish takes this very seriously….ALSO OUR ECONOMY IS BOOMING RIGHT NOW CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, UP 50 GAZILLION PEBBLES!

Two months after ANZ was fined $250m for serious misconduct - rigging a bond deal, misleading markets and charging dead customers - the bank has posted a first quarter profit of $1.94 billion.

A culture of profiteering and lawlessness is being rewarded with record returns.

Closing the Gap has stalled with only 4 of 19 targets on track.

The Greens urge Labor to show ambition and courage to deliver real outcomes for First Nations justice.

Incremental change won't close the gap by 2031 like Labor promised.

It appears that those on Teaching & Research contracts face the highest psychological risk.

Probably because it's bloody impossible to properly meet both teaching AND research demands.

Teaching takes up so much time, but we're also expected to pump out research. It's a difficult trap.

People resigning from the Liberal front bench that I didn't know were on in the first place...
