Aussies in and returned from the IDF who have willingly committing atrocities of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity?
And their IDF mates welcomed for working holidays in Australia?
Albo is sorry about their losses at Bondi, & understands Herzog who’s incited genocide can comfort them.

Exactly. I’m appalled by Albo’s callousness leaving mothers & children suffering deeply in camps. Many ISIS wives didn’t choose ISIS & their children had no choice.

Yet our government welcomes IDF soldiers on return or working holidays having willingly committed atrocities in Gaza & the West Bank

Israeli President Isaac Herzog, signing bombs to be dropped on Gaza.

If AUS PM @albomp.bsky.social wanted to know what's happening in Gaza, the West Bank & East Jerusalem, he could've invited UN Special Rapporteur @franceskalbs.bsky.social to visit the Lodge. Instead he invites Israeli President Herzog, who signed bombs to be dropped on Gaza. 😠 #auspol #FreePalestine

Robert Reich Robert Reich Reacts: “It's a Wonderful Life”

"It's A Wonderful Life" isn't just a feel-good holiday classic (and my favorite movie of all time).

It's also a warning about what happens when greed runs the economy.

Ahmed Ouf: I went to Bondi and hugged people who'd never spoken to a Muslim before Read Cumberland councillor's deleted opinion piece for the Sydney Morning Herald

On Wednesday the Sydney Morning Herald published an opinion piece by Cumberland City councillor Ahmed Ouf about Muslim-Jewish solidarity in the wake of Bondi.

The piece was quickly taken down.

We're publishing it here in full.

The ocean's least natural predator has come for Australia Illegal fishing is ravaging the world's oceans of fish and shellfish but it is what is left behind that is creating a mess for governments worldwide and of Australia's most remote beaches.

"A 2014 analysis of about 9,000 discarded nets that washed up on Australia’s northern coast estimated ghost nets had killed between 4,866 and 14,600 sea turtles in the year before they made land...

Ghost Net Initiative, a $15 million fund...is about to expire."

The bullet said it was the gun that shot at children.

The gun said it was the soldier who pulled the trigger.

The soldier said he was obeying orders to defend his country.

Israel said Hamas made me do it.

💔🇵🇸

Who are the cowards that won’t act to protect children from the fear and trauma of school shootings and other gun violence? Or do they just want to protect guns more? It’s inconceivable Australian children would be worrying about this at school.

And Israel is committing genocide with the funds and weapons of the USA, with Germany and UK backup, and a little help from other countries like Australia who call Israel a “friend” (political donor?).

SIGNS OF FASCISM 🪧

The cover of British naturalist Tony Juniper's book "What has Nature ever done for us?". Highly recommended, especially the chapter on vultures in India.

Indeed. My source for case studies when teaching Yr 11 Enviro Sci was Tony Juniper's "What has Nature ever done for us?".
As we carry on Landcare-ing, & supporting groups like Bush Heritage, I'd ask the boffins at Treasury/ BCofA "How productive is protecting an ecosystem, or saving a species?"

Fantastic news! Now to get Land Forces Expo out of Australia, and reverse federal and state government support towards making Australia a major arms and war equipment parts producer.
More Australian “jobs” cannot justify contributing to killing fields and environmental destruction across our earth ☮️

Wildfire smoke far more dangerous to health than thought, say scientists Deaths from short-term exposure to fine particulates spewed by forest fires underestimated by 93%

Smoke inhalation is the most common cause of death in fire incidents. Pollution, especially air pollution, has become a significant factor in fatalities, (& chronic diseases ) worldwide. Wildfires are increasing in frequency, scope, intensity, & fatalities.

Meanwhile other biomass air pollution, significantly household woodsmoke is causing health harms similar to tobacco smoke, overloading health services and causing millions of premature deaths, with little community awareness and no warnings on wood or stoves for sale.

Progressive patriotism fails the independence test Anthony Albanese's recent John Curtin oration sparked hope among some that Australia might pursue a more independent foreign policy.

Patriotic language is being used to mask continued subservience to American imperial interests. The rhetoric of independence conceals the reality of dependence. #auspol

- you know about the evidence of significant health harms from domestic #woodburning.

You committed to action

We expect much better from you.

New study calls for more public awareness on wood burning A new study by the University of Surrey’s Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE) has challenged the assumption that manufactured fuels are the cleanest choice for use in domestic stoves. The…

Worrying to read about this new study into #WoodBurning. #Ecodesign stoves produce high levels of ultrafine particles. Manufactured fuels eg wood briquettes/smokeless coal emit more pollution than seasoned or kiln-dried wood, despite being marketed as cleaner alternatives. #AirPollution
