Albanese government rejected advice on Tasmanian salmon farming impact before passing pro-industry laws FoI documents show ministers ignored recommendation for fresh inquiry that could have reduced or paused farming

Worth some attention and further questions amid everything else, imo

If you don't want to gift lsaac Herzog a framed picture to commemorate his visit to Australia, @albomp.bsky.social, perhaps you could have a collage using these images framed for your office with some kind of label like ...

"It does not need a visit from a President of a country judged to have committed genocide in Gaza, a man who oversees a government which uses famine as a weapon of war, has slaughtered tens of thousands of Palestinians—and has refused to end the illegal occupation."

GOP official argues in favor of child marriage: Girls are 'ripe' and 'fertile'

The New Hampshire House passed a bill to ban child marriage in the state and raise the minimum age of marriage to 18.

The measure passed the Senate unanimously in March. On Thursday, it passed the House, 192-174. The bill now goes to Gov. Chris Sununu for signing into law.

One of those voting against was Representative Jess Edwards, whose comments sparked immediate gasps from colleagues.

".. If we continually restrict the freedom of marriage as a legitimate social option, when we do this to people who are a ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby involved, are we not, in fact, making abortion a much more desirable alternative, when marriage might be the right solution for some In a state where 18 is not old enough to drink, Edwards believes girls at 16 are old enough to get married. Edwards' daughter, Elizabeth, served as a state representative, and Edwards said her service was the inspiration for his run for office. He is in his third term.

Child safety and gun control advocate Shannon Watts tweeted that "Child marriage is currently legal in 38 states (only Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont have set the minimum age at 18 and eliminated all exceptions), and 20 states do not require any minimum age for marriage." Jess Edwards

He called 16 year old girls RIPE and FERTiLE.

Someone check his hard drive.

Australia has been a close US ally for eight decades. Last month our Govt gave the US an $800M #AUKUS gift to US shipyards. We're going to give them billions more. Today Trump lumped Australia with countries he says have "looted, pillaged, raped and plundered" the US. #auspol

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

"Israel recently committed the largest child massacre in its history."

That this is not front-page news in Western media is another crime in itself. #StopIsrael #EndTheGenocide #FreePalestine

Albanese to rush through new laws to protect Tasmania’s salmon industry from legal threat Labor will push the contentious bill through parliament next week despite concerns about the extinction of the Maugean skate

And here we go...absolute f#*king bastardry 🤬🤬🤬

Actual environmental protection via EPBC Act reform is too hard for the Albo govt—3 yrs in power & no National Environment Standards, no EPA, no EIA

But EPBC amendment to enable disastrous industrial impacts can be done at a snap #ToxicSalmonFarming

Why SoCal Burns & Who’s to Blame Five harsh truths about these devastating fires that we must acknowledge if we hope to meaningfully prevent future fires and climate catastrophe

Do not let media frame this as a "natural disaster."

IT IS NOT. This is the predicted end result of fossil fuel exploitation, water hoarding, & bought politicians.

Now, insurance corps leave CA & CA private prisons use slave labor to fight these fires. Horrific.

🚨 this week the coal industry launched a dirty campaign against the independents through an ‘astroturf’ group: ‘australians for progress’.

using classic negative ad styling — complete with misinformation — billboards went up in monique ryan’s & allegra spender’s electorates.

UN Commission: The IDF Is Raping, Killing, & Torturing Palestinians Legacy media has conducted a near blackout of this damning report and the Biden administration is refusing to act to uphold international human rights law

As you read this, Netanyahu is bombing Kamal Adwan Hospital.

Reminder that a UN investigation found that ZERO of the 110 hospitals & medical centers Israel bombed had Hamas soldiers or encampments in them. ZERO. qasimrashid.com/p/un-commiss...
These are all war crimes. Biden must stop funding them.

I really don't understand how "it seemed very hard" is a good excuse for a national anti-corruption commission to use when deciding not to investigate something.
