Four frames. Title: Round and round table. Three people along table with paper and pencil. 1. Guy on left: “Right. We really need to do something about intergenerational wealth inequality.” Woman in middle: “Yes! Well for starters we could fund education equitably.” 2. Guy on right: “Not if it means taking anything away from private schools!” First guy: “ok. Then we should make housing more affordable…” Woman: “Not if it reduces the return on my investment!” 3. First guy: “Well, at least we should tax mining resources properly for health, childcare, aged care…” Guy on right: “But if we tax them, they’ll go elsewhere (and stop donating to us)!” 4. First guy: “So, what do you propose we do about intergenerational wealth inequality?” Woman: “The young people are resourceful. They’ll think of something.” First guy has put question mark on his paper; woman has scribbled on hers; third person screws up his paper.

Round and round.

Paul Keating says US Aukus review could ‘save Australia from itself’ as sceptics hail chance to exit pact Former PM Malcolm Turnbull and former foreign minister Bob Carr say Australia must seize chance to urgently review its defence needs

Our best PM is absolutely spot on in this analysis & the current #Labor govt would be stupid not to listen to him !
We need drones in both the air & sea! 2/2

Excuse my French but @abcnewsbot.bsky.social is a bunch of snowflake pussies.

It is pathetic how easily network news executives let right wingers manipulate them. Terry Moran rightly calls Stephen Miller a hater driven by bile, and ABC News accepts the idea that this is “unhinged” behavior. Critiquing people abusing their power is the JOB of journalism.

I've studied a lot of right-wing propaganda but I've never encountered anyone whose output is as mindless and cruel as Stephen Miller:

Greta Thunberg is a climate activist the same reason I am: to help people. Fighting genocide and fighting climate change are both righteous causes- and linked!

It’s appalling Israel is slaughtering and attempting to starve Palestinians into submission. Enabled by U.S. weapons and support. 😡

#BREAKING : The moment a police officer deliberately targets and shoots a Channel 9 reporter in Los Angeles with a rubber bullet.
What will our government have to say about this incident?
What outrage will finally be enough to cause Australia to distance itself from the fascist U.S. regime? #AusPol

"You just f---ing shot the reporter!"

Netanyahu admits Israel backing ‘criminal’ groups, rivals of Hamas, in Gaza First acknowledgement Israel using armed gangs, which aid groups have accused of stealing aid from trucks.

First acknowledgement Israel using armed gangs, which aid groups have accused of stealing aid from trucks.

A must watch.
Here on Israeli TV we have blatant racism and extreme dehumanizing rhetoric against Palestinians.

And exhortations for more war crimes against civilians to 'finish the job'.

But western reporters and politicians still refuse to use the term "genocide". Or take action to #StopIsrael.

‘Half the tree of life’: ecologists’ horror as nature reserves are emptied of insects A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

The silence and cowardice on Gaza continues from the federal government The Australia government, through its silence and inaction, is becoming increasingly complicit in the suffering of Gaza through its do-nothing approach.

Latest long-read analysis about Australia’s inaction and weasel words on #Gaza. OK, it’s going to piss off people who ask “what can we do?” but the election is over and no more excuses. What are they afraid of? READ, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE. #AUSPOL @dlew919.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...

"Dutton went to the election saying, we don't have a shortage of gas, we're just exporting too much, why don't we tax gas exports. I couldn't agree more."

"Imagine if Labor were to tax gas exports & spend tens of billions on improving health & education."

Starvation in Gaza is so bad even the BBC is covering it – and reporting it all wrong The BBC's role is not to keep viewers informed. It's to persuade them a clear crime against humanity by Israel is, in fact, highly complicated geopolitics they cannot hope to understand

The BBC's role is not to keep viewers informed. It's to persuade them that Gaza's starvation by Israel – a clear crime against humanity – is, in fact, highly complicated geopolitics they cannot hope to understand.

The Australian Nursing & Midwifery Federation has lashed Dutton’s last min decision to strip students of prac pmts
Sec. Annie Butler “The ANMF has been asking Peter Dutton & the Coalition if they’re supporting nurses & midwives this election, now we know the answer”💥 #auspol25

So the LNP will scrap practice payments for nurses and midwives & educators - another 500k votes lost
What is wrong with this group - health care providers and educators are vital for the health education and wellbeing of our nation

A sickening video targeting a crossbench woman shows just how low politics has sunk. Abuse, lies and now a metaphor for violence—while women die each week from gender-based violence. Silence from male leaders is not good enough. The women of the crossbench won’t be cowed.
