Buried detail in Labor's bill reveals how the government wants to override laws — and never tell you why

If Labor gets its way on environmental protection reforms, the government could wave through a catastrophic critical minerals mine on the basis that it's important to Australia's relationship with the United States.

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

How in the fuck do we live in a world where Trump can openly fund a bloody genocidal war then later get praised for a ceasefire of the same bloody genocidal war?

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

“Please, exit the concentration camp through the gift shop.” Another brilliant report and analysis of our tech bro NWO and the increasingly inescapable Christofascist blackhole. If anything else, read what was said at The UN General Assembly that was actually WORTH hearing:

It’s why you hear them screaming “Climate Cult!” still to this day. I mean the original ‘Climate hoax DVD‘ was likely just fossil fuel industry created anti-China propaganda, and the little (and now older) Libs just licked it up. Now in the Post Truth era, the rabbit holes are deeper and muddier.

Ever since Abbott left the ‘climate change isnt real’ DVD for Rudd in Kirribilli, they’ve ALL gotten lost down whatever Denialist, Christian Nationalist rabbit hole vortexes they’ve been suckered into ever since, and refuse to see any different. Add in the usual #grift #statecapture etc etc #sosad

Incredible work.

How good is it to live in an Australia where a foreign nation is deliberately starving an entire country of people and a South African born white woman is paid from Australian's taxes to defend the foreign-nation-that-starves-people and is also directed by our govt to tell us to shut up about it?

We finally find out what Labor will do with its second term The question we have been asking is ‘what will Labor do with power?” Now we have the answer – the least possible.

It’s the very least they can do

We are approaching the moment where a LOT of people, media orgs and institutions are going to be pretending they’ve always been against Israel’s genocide

I’m confused: did a memo go out this week saying it’s finally okay for politicians and the press to be outraged that Israel is starving Palestinians?

If so, I didn’t see the memo. But I did see the evidence of this war crime back in late 2023.

Where are we at? Starving is bad, bombing is ok?

A 2 panel political cartoon titled “NAIDOC 2025: A Voice to Parliament Finally Achieved.”Top panel: An Aboriginal Elder with a YES23 badge addresses PM Anthony Albanese. She says:“Can we have a Voice to Parliament — to speak on genocide, systemic neglect, our right to self-determination, and to advocate for our communities with respect and honesty?”Albanese replies:“Uh… well… that would require a costly, divisive, uncertain referendum…”Bottom panel: Jillian Segal, wearing Israeli and South African flags as lapel pins, speaks forcefully to Albanese.She says:“We want to radically shape national policy and gain sweeping powers to censor speech — across education, media, the arts, and public life — to protect a foreign apartheid state currently committing genocide. Highlighting dead Palestinian children makes Zionists uncomfortable. We want that silenced.”Albanese, now smiling with blood on his hands, replies eagerly:“Say no more!!!”

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read:

“I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”
