There is evidence the UAE backed RSF is engaged in mass murder in El-Fashar in Darfur.

Why is the U.S. allowing the UAE - which we fund militarily - help the brutal RSF engage in mass atrocity?

FYI - this isn't just about Trump - the Biden Admin was letting this happen too.

Netherland's renewables drive putting pressure on its power grid Homes asked to use less electricity as network is overloaded by the rush to wind and solar power.

When you see large expenditure on transmission infrastructure, this is why.

Long term it will pay off.

It’s up to voters to encourage long term planning.

POST OF THE YEAR

Oxford Historian Avi Shlaim: Israel Committed Genocide, Palestinians Have Right to Resist - Quds News Network Avi Shlaim slams Israel’s Gaza genocide, defends Palestinian resistance, and calls out occupation and Zionist policies as the root of ongoing violence.

"Jewish Oxford University historian Prof. Avi Shlaim has openly condemned Israel’s policies and praised Palestinian resistance. In an interview with Haaretz, Shlaim repeatedly stressed that Palestinians, including Hamas, have the right to resist occupation."

How many more of these studies do we need before someone will say publicly that SARS-CoV-2 is oncogenic? Or will we just dance around it for another decade?

🚨 NEW: 58% of Australians agree that a genocide is happening in Gaza, according to a YouGov poll commissioned by the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network

88% of Greens voters and 72% of Labor voters were among those who agreed with the UN report on Gaza

Study challenges notion that Covid is ‘mild’ for children More than 6 million American children suffer from long Covid which can lead to life-threatening complications

“Study challenges notion that Covid is ‘mild’ for children.”

You mean, just like EVERY OTHER STUDY on Covid in children?

This shouldn’t be framed as a surprise, or even news, but as established fact. The real question is why we’re still not trying to stop it.

Let me be clear. As someone who has been professionally involved with the biodefense / biosecurity sector for nearly 20 years, and has worked on biological risk analysis for Covid-19 since early 2020, reducing one's risk of being infected is not health anxiety. It's just smart.

Whilst it's commendable Australia now recognises Palestine it is a complete embarrassment that 149 countries did it before us. Seems we are scared to voice an opinion. How gutless. #auspol #palestine

Our belligerent, authoritarian AUKUS partner True allies share common visions, common objectives, common strategies, common standards of behaviour and common criteria of success.

True allies share values & vision. Australia & the US no longer do. America is fractured, authoritarian, reckless abroad & complicit in genocide. Yet Canberra clings to the myth of the alliance. It’s time to face reality & chart our own path. #AusPol #US #Alliance

The recognition of Palestine is a victory for the many Australians who have been calling for this, but will not end the genocide in Gaza. The Albanese Government must now sanction Israel for its criminal actions the way it has sanctioned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

Qld women denied chosen miscarriage care say it's like something from the US Brisbane women have told the ABC they paid an abortion clinic for their chosen miscarriage care rather than getting it at their large public hospital.

"Its South Brisbane site is home to both the taxpayer funded Mater Mothers’ Hospital and the Mater Mothers’ Private Brisbane ...
"'I felt as if the miscarriage itself wasn’t traumatising to me, but the management I got from the Mater is what made it traumatic,' Lauren said."
