Huge American-style utes are damaging our roads, reducing safety, and increasing emissions.

“In Europe they’re introducing measures to discourage people from driving these big utes...

"In Australia we’ve got subsidies for them.”

Albanese Marles Labor government has moved Australia to a war economy. AUKUS.

Everything and everyone sacrificed to make Australia the US/UK front line for their ongoing move to war against China.

Yep. Our sovereignty has been given away. Our economy is comparable to Russia’s and instead of leading the way in our region multiple governments have turned us into craven vassals with no free will.

It’s actually filthy.

It is not just bicycle lanes, but also sidewalks & multipurpose paths.

Roads get built, but without safe green infrastructure most will resort to motor vehicles.

Adding just one more lane will fix the congestion problem. Right?

The NT’s newest youth justice law changes will heap more trauma on to traumatised kids while worsening youth crime | Russell Marks Evidence shows reacting to kids who offend with violence increases chances that the offending behaviour escalates. In stark terms: there will be more victims because of the CLP’s policies

Good old Australian justice; turning disadvantaged kids (especially 10-14yo Aboriginal boys) into hardened lifetime criminals. #auspol #RaiseTheAge www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you're interested, you can watch many thousands and thousands of fellow Australians right now marching across the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge for peace in Palestine

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

I’ve bought Starbucks once, never again.
I think you’re right. There’s good espresso to be found in the US, but you can’t know what you don’t know.

Always good to support the locals, the chains and corporations ain’t our friends.

I haven't been to Adelaide since I was 20 so can't debate. Ok add Adelaide travellers listen to Jon. If you tour our Aussie States compare each City's Cafes and decide.

Mortified! The King's School Headmaster responds - Michael West Headmaster of The King's School, Tony George, issued a statement - media attention on 'clip over the ear-gate' is "inaccurate and misleading".

The Labor party's racist policy on refugees has been consistent for over 30 years, and got worse under Rudd/Gillard/Rudd.
It is inexcusable, indefensible, institutional racism at a policy level. #auspol

"Your Honour, I, John Wayne Gacy, did in fact kill a whole bunch of people. But I did so using my right hand almost exclusively. I’d like to move that my feet, my torso, and indeed all the other non-lethal parts of my body, played no role whatsoever in the murders of all those people."

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

This is awesome.

We have known for years that people seeking asylum held on Nauru are subjected to horrific conditions.

Offshore detention must end, and people seeking safety must be treated with fairness and dignity.

I wonder how many countries will announce they will recognise Palestine statehood before Australia shows some ‘leadership’.

Doing it late is better than not doing it, but must we always expect the least from our governments?

Bravery is contagious. Would be good if Australia could help spread some

Greens must blow AUKUS out of the water - THE POLITICS With an 'opposition' that's as useful as deckhands on a submarine, it's up to David Shoebridge and co to fight the good fight against a deal that's sinking fast.
