I understand those who think our government is too cautious or lacking ambition. I'm sure that the trauma of the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd years is a factor but it us much more a result of the great damage done to our nation socially, culturally and fiscally by the Howard years. Repair takes time and trust

Welcome to America, where peaceful protesters get tear-gassed and thrown to the ground like ragdolls.

How come Putin was so dismissive of her when Trump went to visit, if that’s true.

Is Greta Thunberg the lone voice for justice in our world? As the world moves from one crisis to another and our politicians ignore the immense injustices that are happening in their nation and in the world, what do ordinary non-violent citizens do to let the...

"When politicians lose their moral compass, ordinary citizens are required to stand up like Thunberg and protest non-violently for action against genocide, ecocide and the removal of free speech within nations."

The Earth uncloaked – A catastrophe in slow motion Woodman, spare that tree! Touch not a single bough! In youth it sheltered me, And I'll protect it now. – GP Morris 1837

"Deforestation is a global catastrophe in slow motion. Despite the good intentions of many, it is still accelerating, as humans continue to gnaw, like termites, at the very foundations of the Earth’s life support system – and their own future."

Can you find any more tiny minuscule piece of scary stuff to whinge about Saturday Paper? I used to think you were fair… but no, just another pile on to sell some papers.

How Reynolds managed to win the defamation case makes the magistrate questionable - such terrible costs he inflicted on a young couple who have been traumatised already. Surely the fact that Reynolds is pressuring so hard confirms she deserves the awful reputation. Lowlife is right.

And Australia's worst company is... The inaugural winner of the Alan Bond Award for Corporate Misconduct goes to an Australian icon that has truly demonstrated awfulness across a wide range of criteria.

And the winner goes to QANTAS…

What is wrong with our ABC News? Twice today I’ve listened to the news & heard rubbish from Scott Morrison, the Worst PM Ever, interviewed on #Murdoch’s Sky commenting on PNG & a Trump Peace Prize?!

We voted him out of office.
Why are we STILL getting β€œMorrison says…” on *our ABC*?

Please stop.

That’s true! It was a suggestion (for less guns) to your response.
The point was that US movies make the heroes, gunslingers - especially the hip(!) heroes who have a Glock or semi-automatic.
These β€˜heroes’ solve problems with guns and normalise violence.
It’s no wonder the kids think it’s ok.

What about calling in the vet to put down the sick animals?
There are too many violent American films praising the outlaw/hero with a score of high velocity guns. Have you seen the ad for β€˜The Old Man’.
It’s shocking. Let’s ban them - no more violent and porn films from US. Or a huge tariff…

people like greta thunberg feel as close to modern-day saints as i can think. just someone absolutely committed to the cause of human justice. i feel totally inadequate when faced with that moral clarity
