Watt nears deal with Coalition to finally overhaul environment laws Environment Minister Murray Watt will sit down with his Liberal counterpart Angie Bell today, with quiet optimism in both parties that a deal might soon be struck to finally rewrite Australia's "broke...

Just so we’re clear: Labor is choosing to work with the worst possible party on environmental issues, instead of the Greens and teals who actually want environmental regulation.
And Watt is already admitting it won’t have a climate trigger …

How Albanese killed the climate wars Podcast Episode · 7am · 08/10/2025 · 15m

Some frank words about the hollow rhetoric that now stands as Labor’s climate policy, and how its PR-first strategy has been rewarded by the media. Thanks to 7am

Reminder: Australia's only emissions reduction legislation - the safeguard mechanism - allows for unlimited use of offsets instead of requiring genuine cuts from polluters

BTW this National Press Club story hasn't been reported in any major news outlet yet. Indies like Lamestream, We Used to Be Journos, Pearls and Irritations etc all over it.

The death of journalists in Gaza constitutes the worst crime against journalism in living memory, yet the NPC has never asked a speaker to address it.
Now they’ve cancelled the person who proposed speaking about it.

Is it relevant that the National Press Club sponsors include at least 5 corporations who work with the Israeli arms industry??
Incl:
Lockheed Martin
KBR
Raytheon

Royal children’s hospital Melbourne

Greta Thunberg will be in history books. never stop Greta. you are a beacon of hope. More guts than every leader in this world.

Exclusive: National Press Club cancelled Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist for being “in favour” of Palestine Correspondence obtained by Lamestream shows the NPC confirmed Chris Hedges as a speaker, before cancelling him due to "balance".

More detail here on the NPC cancellation of a journalist who was booked to speak about Gaza.
Incredible how badly our cultural institutions have failed us.

The TAS govt has just put fmr minister Roger Jaensch on the committee which is supposed to scrutinise the implementation of the many Commission of Inquiry recommendations … which was Roger Jaensch’s responsibility. #politas
Never change, TAS. This is sure to get to the bottom of whose fault it is.

Statement on Cancellation of Chris Hedges’ confirmed appearance at the National Press Club of Australia  — Australian Friends of Palestine Association AFOPA is responding to the Statement published on 4 October 2025 by the National Press Club of Australia ( NPC) in relation to their cancellation of Chris Hedges’ confirmed appearance at the National ...

It looks very much like the National Press Club statement lied about their cancellation of Chris Hedges. His appearance WAS confirmed, and even listed on the website, according to this.
(Hedges believes his talk on Gaza was cancelled following pressure from the pro-Israel lobby):

In March 2025, the median Australian taxpayer earned $55,619 per year.

Labor during the election: “we’ll fully fund public schools”

Labor after the election: “actually we meant private schools soz”

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.

When will our politicians have the courage to make meaningful change to our broken aged care system? | Julianne Schultz The inspector general has applauded aspects of the new act but warns of a yawning gap between promise and delivery

Exactly the same thing could be asked about our broken universities, schools funding model, climate policy, corporate taxation, housing, arts, govt transparency, youth justice, mental health etc etc etc

2 million rally in Italy for Gaza as general strike halts key services Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

Huge Palestinian solidarity protest in Italy with a National Strike & 2m taking part. That’s 3.4% of the population.

The man is a menace

@nickfeik.bsky.social sets out mainstream media's woeful performance on what used to be "the greatest moral challenge of our time".

Little wonder that so many of us are turning to independent media. #ClimateCrisis #auspol

No science required: how the media regurgitated Albanese’s climate PR The Albanese government sailed through its week of climate announcements, courtesy of media coverage that obsessed over the political fallout instead of the actual policy.

Albanese was first elected on a pledge to “end the climate wars” and in a strange way he succeeded.
Today’s media would prefer not to engage in the troublesome realities of the climate issue, and just regurgitate Albanese's PR.

When the National Press Club is opposed to hearing from journalists

If you aren’t brave enough to tell the truth get tf out of the profession of journalism, because you’re ruining it for everyone.

The National Press Club of Australia, caving to the Israeli lobby, Cancels My Talk on Our Betrayal of Palestinian Journalists The National Press Club of Australia cancelled my talk on how the media, by amplifying Israeli lies, have betrayed Palestinian journalists, 278 of whom have been assassinated by Israel.

What an incredible act of cowardice by the National Press Club.
WTF.

In other words: Hastie will be opposition leader at the next election, and it'll be a race election.

Liberals, after every election defeat:
We need a candidate who will run even further to the right. Go even harder on race-baiting. Let's find us a hard-right white guy who can only talk about culture wars.

lol this party is an absolute shambles

The media regurgitated Albo's PR, but there's no commendable 'middle path' on climate targets The Albanese government sailed through its week of climate announcement, courtesy of media coverage that obsessed over the political fallout instead of the actual policy.

New:
Labor’s climate policies are genuinely atrocious, yet Aus political commentators gave Albanese the big thumbs up for the quality of his announcement.
Time to inject a bit of reality into issue, instead of regurgitating Albanese’s talking points.

And before any rusted-on Labor supporter jumps in to say “at least they’re better than the Coalition”, that argument is exactly the problem.
Landing somewhere between terrible and even worse is... not “about right”.
