these videos of the Australian doctors in Gaza have been going viral. They are volunteers with PANZMA (Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association)

If you can help by donating that would be great You can find the link to donate here panzma.org

Listen to these brave Australian doctors speaking out about the horrid state of Gaza.

We must Sanction Israel.

And fair play to Smriti Mandhana, 100 of 50 balls!

Today's final approval of the North West Shelf is a climate, economic, and energy security disaster.

Australia Institute analysis shows the 45-year expansion is equivalent to building 12 new coal power stations.

Australia news live: Labor approves extension of Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export project until 2070 Follow live

Disgraceful.

No govt that actually cares about climate change would do this.

In a hearing on Labor's Bill where they are seeking to deny migrants the rights to natural justice.

can you imagine trying to convince the average skepti-dude in the year 2010 that this is what summer europe will look like in 2025

We'll expel an ambassador from one country based on secret 'credible evidence'; but not the ambassador of another country openly committing a genocide.

Tell me our government is compromised without telling me our government is compromised.

On LBC @zoejardiniere.bsky.social lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning Palestine Action as terrorists as an abuse of state power.

Well said.

‘If these words reach you … Israel has succeeded in killing me’: the last words of a journalist killed in Gaza Anas al-Sharif, an Al Jazeera reporter, was killed by an Israeli airstrike on Sunday night. This is the message he had prepared for his family, and his call for the world not to forget Gaza

Let us all bear witness to our government's shameful complicity.

The International court of Justice has made it clear, states are liable for failing to address the climate crisis.
Looking at you Minister Watt and Prime Minister Albanese.

Congratulations to our Lissy and Samara on their brilliant #3MT presentations today!

Mehreen Faruqi sanctioned for Gaza sign protest as Greens senator accused of ‘street theatre’ Greens deputy leader banned from taking part in any overseas parliamentary delegations for the remainder of the 48th parliament

Sanctioning the messenger is not an appropriate response to the horrific genocide in Gaza. Sanctioning Israel is the correct response.

A chance encounter threw me into the campaign to expose the police killing of Jean Charles de Menezes. What happened next changed my life It’s 20 years since the innocent Brazilian man was shot dead at Stockwell station after being mistaken for a terrorist in the aftermath of the 7/7 London bombings. A few days later, I found myself sta...

A beautiful account of the fight to get justice for Jean Charles de Menezes against institutional obstruction.

My Hottest 100 votes. No particular order. Lots of protest and praise songs.

What are your rights to protest in NSW and how have they changed? – video Some experts say the state now has the most severe anti-protest regime in the country

An excellent explainer of the restrictions we now face in NSW to peacefully protest. It begs the question, why are our elected representatives so scared of the public they are supposed to be serving?

Somebody needs to have a stern word with the oceans about the importance of gas as a transition fuel.

Just watched Seaspiracy on Netflix. I learned many things like there is no such thing as sustainable fishing, there is no dolphin-safe tuna and that most of the ocean's plastic waste is as a result of the fishing industry.

I shan't be buying fish anymore.

New sport and if you like goals the AFL is for you 😉

Thanks Alex. It's not my document, just sharing it because, you're right, we have to do something!

Yes, it can look that way, but it must be considered a collective decision which no gov MP can hide from. I've already written to my local member seeking an explanation.

Labor approves extension of Woodside’s contentious North West Shelf gas development Murray Watt will approve the extension of one of the world’s biggest liquified natural gas projects from 2030 to 2070

This decision is inexplicable. I'm very angry that the science is continuing to be ignored by those elected to represent us. It will cost us all, dearly.

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Environment Minister Murray Watt will approve the 50-year extension of one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel projects, Woodside's North West Shelf.

Along with releasing 4 billion tonnes of emissions, this decision will result in $215 billion worth of gas given away royalty-free. #auspol

Again: Australian contributions to the F-35 jet program are valued at $5bn, and involve 75 Australian companies. Australia invests $1.7bn annually into the Israeli economy.

Words are not enough. We need sanctions and we need them now!

@essendonfc.bsky.social please make a pitch for Big Ange. I'm happy to wait a couple of years.

It’s a very dark reflection on the state of Australian politics that Labor (including Albanese) seem more satisfied with defeating Bandt than Dutton.

Progressive voters are tricking themselves into thinking this election was a great result, but Australia’s centre of gravity keeps going right.
