Race commissioner calls on Pauline Hanson to apologise amid condemnation of ‘reprehensible’ Muslim comments One Nation leader’s statements about Muslims also labelled ‘bigoted and wrong’ by NSW minister for multiculturalism

Why isn’t @paulinehansonoz.bsky.social being charged and jailed under the new hate laws? Brandan Koschel got 12 months, less than what he deserves.

From primary school to the UN, we’re all humans in a climate crisis, says Jen. It addresses our reptilian brain. Colonialism, capitalism, all of the -isms sever our relationshoos. How do we proceed without being maladapted? Fundamentalism? Nihilism? No: activism. Know where the joy is. Go. #FACT2026

Keep the joy and be celebratory - Jen Rae

Agree that this has been missing from the climate change approaches in museum programs

Visitors want to see the joy, see the beauty and be positively inspired to act (my research has found this)

But there is an irony juxtaposing this point with the next #FACT2026 panel on Climate, Culture & Technology. How is climate sustainability built into GLAM sector mega-projects?

Rather than build yet another database, Jen says, as we were asked to do, we rejected hoarding knowledge. Instead the Centre for Reworlding has created Bilya, with thanks to our collaborator @clairegcoleman.bsky.social for this name. Bilya maps the relationships so you find who you need #FACT2026
