How ETU shooters foiled a national park ANALYSIS: The Electrical Trades Union has used its political leverage to keep Victoria’s Central Highlands open for hunting, in the midst of a national backtracking on forest conservation.

β€œAround the country, the shooting lobby have delayed, undermined and stopped effective feral deer control for decades and are the reason feral deer numbers are growing. If the government is serious... they need to stop pandering to the shooting lobby.” satpa.pe/aX4Za2u

From the HIV crisis to the outbreak of Ebola, big pharma companies have put the pursuit of profit above the lives of ordinary people for decades.

#UNOC3 kicks off with some good news:

The UK just pledged to ban bottom trawling in 41 MPAs.
Meanwhile, France proposed restrictions of harmful fishing practices in 4% of its mainland waters.

We welcome these pledges, but we want to see the bans followed up and enforced.

It's time to #TurnTheTide

If you think we can’t just end AUKUS, then think again. It only started with a Morrison brain fart in 2021. The treaty has a pull out clause we need to use, now. We will lose the $10b already wasted on it, but save $365b more!

Anti-corruption watchdog boss's defence links spark impartiality concerns The head of Australia's anti-corruption watchdog has been repeatedly photographed in full military regalia since taking on the $780,000 a year role.

Anti-corruption watchdog boss Paul Brereton's defence links spark concerns.

Independent senators and an integrity expert have told the ABC they're not confident in Mr Brereton's ability to manage any potential conflict of interest issues involving the ADF.

I am not confident in the #NACC

Trump's incompetence is everywhere.Β 

His regime can’t keep military secrets. It can’t maintain financial stability. It can’t protect children from measles.

While we resist Trump’s authoritarianism, we also need to highlight his utter inability to govern America.

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent.

Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list.

This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society β€” universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts.

It's straight out of the fascist playbook.
