Yep and it’s the highest concentration of apartments in the country.

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 “Morrison says…” on *our ABC*?

Please stop.

I couldn’t believe I was hearing his voice again. It’s so jarring, his opinion on anything is irrelevant.

It’s the harm their racial and religious bigotry will cause I’m more concerned about.

They can f**k off with that BS.

Seven calls, 16 minutes, no answer. More Optus emergency failures exposed Optus customers have come forward to report more cases of Triple-0 calls failing outside the embattled telcos previously admitted outages.

He is spot on.

EVERYONE -yes EVERYONE knows how to fix it.

Ffs ALP - just do it!

It's time to vote for Australia's best bird! Vote 1 Powerful Owl!

Sierra glaciers dwindle, changing environments, threatening water supplies, and erasing cultural history:

“Ultimately, it’s telling us that we’ve left the bounds of so-called normal. We’re crossing the line in the sand from what glaciers have done, for basically all of human recorded history.”

Video shows Israeli settlers attacking a Palestinian Bedouin family on their land in Masafer Yatta, in the occupied West Bank area of South Hebron Hills.

Basically @zackpolanski.bsky.social has made the Green Party relevant to many young people who prioritise social justice over climate justice and by that made them see that the two causes are essentially a continuum. Greta Thunberg has done the same. A win win worth celebrating in these dark times.

Long COVID is here to stay—even in children Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC, also known as long COVID) are complex, multisystem, long-lasting complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection that profoundly impact the daily life of those...

Long COVID is here to stay, even in children, and worsened by reinfections and ongoing transmission. Governments and health systems must prioritise research, care access, and protection for kids—otherwise, the long-term social and economic costs will keep rising.

David Attenborough told Ray Martin to 'only do things you love'. So he did After six decades as a journalist, Ray Martin says he has learnt the secret to a long and satisfying career.

That sounds like an excuse.

Brisbane’s Common Ground showed what works:
Homes first. Support next.
Less police, fewer hospital beds, more dignity, and it even saves money.

The most disturbing thing I think about this Trump Gaza peace plan is why the hell was Biden unable to get It done?

It’s quite enjoyable to hear Waled Aly being schooled ever so gently by his guest in this week’s episode of The Minefield. A rare episode of RN’s most intellectual wankfest that I didn’t turn off and actually enjoyed.

Build public housing again. Ask the PM he grew up in one.

This has always annoyed me.

MSF denounces killing of 14th staff member in Gaza Medical staff were hit by Israeli forces while wearing their MSF vests and waiting for a bus to go to work at a hospital.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières just had their 14th member of staff killed by Israeli occupation forces.

Israel deserves to be fully sanctioned. Netanyahu’s Govt make apartheid South Africa look like a benign state.
