Hundreds of thousands flood cities across Europe to demand end to genocide in Gaza An estimated 250,000 people dressed in red crowded into Museum Square in Amsterdam, demanding that the Dutch government end its support for Israel.

Mass demonstrations were also held over the weekend in countries including Spain and Italy, where demonstrators demanded the release of organisers who had been aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla. #auspol #museumplein #gaza #flotilla

A deserted rail station on Trump's route to peace where global interests collide The planned Trump Route in the South Caucasus could reshape the geopolitics of a region that borders Russia and Iran.

Exclusive: Anthony Albanese overruled push for public NACC hearings The Saturday Paper can reveal that the prime minister and other ministers from NSW intervened in cabinet to constrain the operations of the country’s leading integrity body.

More than 2 years after the NACC was established, it hasn’t held a single public hearing. Now we learn the PM pushed to make it harder to hold them.

Public hearings are vital to building trust - the Govt should be making them easier, not harder.

Absolutely appalling treatment of peaceful protestors. Bullies.

Piss weak just like the NH&MRC. Public servants who get paid if no action is taken avoid conflict.

Exposing the language of oppression: Debra Dank's 'Terraglossia' At demonstrations about the genocide in Gaza, it has been encouraging to see that speakers have acknowledged the traditional owners of unceded sovereign lands.

Dank’s insights are expressed in a way we can share. How much better we could live in this land when we have access to the richness of Indigenous language. #auspol #review

ABC News article Title: Australian doctors become unofficial correspondents from hospital in Gaza City

Another really important story on ABC News today, from @matthewdoran1.bsky.social and
@chantellealkhouri.bsky.social — the testimonies from Australian doctors in Gaza is horrifying.

“We have legs hanging on by only skin or a tendon, brain matter out, the guts are out, all in one patient.”

The Betrayal of Palestinian Journalists Western reporters are full partners in the genocide. They amplify Israeli lies, which they know are lies, betraying Palestinian colleagues who are slandered, targeted and killed by Israel.

I was to give a talk on October 20 called “The Betrayal of Palestinian Journalists.”

chief executive of the press club, Maurice Reilly, cancelled the event

The Israeli Ambassador, retired Lt. Colonel Amir Maimon, who spent 14 years in the Israeli military, is reportedly being considered to speak

Violence against Aboriginal people intensified once more after 1890. In that year Western Australia became a self-governing colony, and political leaders didn’t have to deal with pesky inquiries from Britain about allegations of slavery or abuse.

Massacres and murders with retribution at least double with no awareness of Aboriginal land rights. Our history is little known by Australians

We need to plant more everything to clean the air, maintain habitats, provide shade. Act on her messages.

Appalling n arguable creating a respectful world tourism centre there for this world heritage site would raise money that could protect and showcase this amazing g site. Never been so blown away than seeing this site

Top statistician accuses government of spinning rock art science A scientist who quit a major study on WA rock art is accusing the government of downplaying findings linking damage to heavy industry.

Statistician who has quit the 5-year Murujuga Rock Art Monitoring Program (MRAMP) study:

"rocks located closest to industry had elevated levels of porosity — or degradation
...
when the Curtin team discovered the elevated degradation in late 2023, the scientists considered it a major finding"

No brainer with no nuclear accident scenarios

“Probably” whose side is he on?

I still listen to this album regularly. I feel so lucky to have been a teenager in the 80's with the incredible music we had. I wouldn't trade those years for anything.

Appearing on the album were #BrendanPerry and #LisaGerrard of #DeadCanDance, #HowardDevoto of #Buzzcocks and #Magazine, and #RobinGuthrie and #ElizabethFraser of #CocteauTwins who created a breath-taking cover of the #TimBuckley song track "Song to the Siren".

Brilliant n love Lisa Gerard’s work

Trump has a lot of sway over us, if another large nation decides we are easy pickings (isolated n wealthy) then we need allies. Hence we are paying via Aukus with no guarantees - think we should be worried

Then there Vanuatu for amazing coral reef n dugongs or Tonga or Samoa. Stunning too

They also ask pay their senior staff 300k+ n have a senior hyperprolific author. They don’t do much research but pass the money on to those who do n take a cut…

Other countries have it, crime is lower, good sense of community, less belief the rich are special…fundamental rights
