If Australia's higher education institutions simply can't stop themselves from investing in weapons manufacturers, maybe Senator @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social's End Dirty Uni Partnerships) Bill 2024 can help

I will never understand why the Australian media, especially the ABC, keep calling the new mayor of New York a radical leftist whilst referring to the far right weirdos in both America and Australia as merely “conservatives’.

World ‘very likely’ to exceed 1.5C climate goal in next decade: UN Despite Paris Agreement pledges, countries 'have landed off target' on climate goals multiple times, the UN warns.

Okay, yes, humanity did not enact the single best possible outcome in response to the single worst problem we have ever faced as a species

In no way was it wrong to try, and in no way is it wrong to continue trying to jam a wrench in the greedy fossil fuel economy. Everything is still on the table

Australia has the potential to be a great multicultural democratic & fair nation but only if we avoid the dangerous creep of religion & greed into our politics & government.

Robodebt was a mass deception based on a cruel bet: that people on income support would simply give up and pay debts they didn't owe.

Today I tabled a petition from Kath Madgwick and Jenny Miller calling for those responsible to finally be held accountable.

🐑 Israeli KKK, terrorizing Palestinian farmers, gouge the eyes out of sheep, torture and kill them. All under the protection of the IDF. What the KKK did to Black farmers in the Jim Crow South, Israeli settlers now do to Palestinian families—under the protection of soldiers.

“Step back from this single night & you will see a pattern that Palestinians have begged the world to see: settler violence on a near-daily basis, carried out with overwhelming impunity. Human-rights monitors have documented hundreds of attacks this year alone…”

Good intentions aren't enough to keep us from this slippery slope It is a very, very slippery slope to start cherry-picking about the rights provided to people, even when you abhor the decisions they make.

“It grants police the power to recommend cancelling someone’s Centrelink payments, based on the suspicion they have committed a serious crime. Not conviction. Suspicion.”

Beware of “mission creep” in legislation. Precedents can “leak” into other areas.

Call on PM Albanese to introduce strong environmental protection laws The government is overhauling our national environmental law. Together we can make sure they halt nature destruction and end the extinction crisis.

What do new aged care reforms mean for those in care? - ABC listen We trust the aged care system to care for our loved ones as if they were family. That's why the stories of abuse and neglect uncovered during the Aged Care Royal Commission were so heartbreaking. Fou...

Grisly info on ABC RN Life Matters today about for-profit aged care. We need to get the profit motive OUT of aged care, childcare and the NDIS because ghouls and grifters batten on to the helpless, abuse them and suck them dry. A national shame.

Australia’s environment is in crisis & its wealth is disappearing into the hands of multinational fossil fuel companies.

Joyce & Hastie showing themselves to be disgraceful, selfish misogynists. They have no idea of the physical impact, anguish & grief experienced by women & families affected by this.

David Pocock’s lonely campaign for more political transparency The former Wallaby has set up a register to reveal who MPs invite to parliament. So far, very few have taken him up on the offer.

Sen David Pocock establishes a voluntary opt-in register for parliamentarians to declare their lobbyists

Sadly only independents have signed. Not surprisingly nobody from LNP or Labor (who should do better). And quite shocking no Greens - so c’mon @larissawaters.bsky.social, actions speak louder

I really enjoyed reading it.
Congrats!👍

Tollroad giant Transurban paid tax! Why? What's the scam? - Michael West Is it a typo? Australia's monopoly of tollroad monopolies, Transurban has broken hard with tradition and actually paid some tax. At least that's what it's interim profit release to the ASX shows.

I towed a caravan north to south across Sydney’s toll roads as a favour to a friend 2 weeks ago. He said let me know what the tolls were & he would reimburse

4 roads x $20 = $80

$80

To travel at less than the speed limit

The roads are almost entirely owned by Transurban, which rarely pays tax
