How white supremacists used an obscure 40-year-old documentary to split the Voice vote An obscure 1980s documentaryΒ about the Indigenous land rights movement has become a clarion call for those opposing the Voice to Parliament. An ABC Investigations analysis has traced how a debunked c...

Anti-communist panic has become a feature of the β€˜no’ campaign over the Voice referendum. This ABC investigation shows that some circles are reviving an old Australian League of Rights book claiming that Aboriginal Land Rights were a secret communist plot.

once heard ridiculous apocrypha that the similar, lesser used London slang β€œnang” once referred to a specific person: a now legendary girl of Vietnamese origin idolised by her classmates in north London and beyond

On the one hand, China is not smoothly top down and technocratic -- vertical and horizontal fragmentation abounds. But on the other, this is interesting. Add to the (quite large) file marked: FT being more open to straightforwardly discussing leftwing economic arguments than most would expect

Have Overcast users (@samuelwade.bsky.social ?) found that some podcast feeds no longer update? Any reason why? And what’s the best alternative app?

Perhaps the relevant differentiation is β€œresponse” to climate change vs *leadership*. IMHO the first test of climate leadership should be solidarity with those most affected, and the more specific we can be about what that looks like, the better.

One of the many ways climate change is a wicked problem is that in response to crisis, many governments are happy to turn inward. The idea that anyone should be reducing an aid ('aid') budget now is ridiculous. The idea that development needs should compete with each other, more so.

putting aside control of the upstream (mining), i don’t think we should underestimate how difficult it would be to relocate or onshore a massive, energy and capital intensive, polluting industry like refining, which operates on incredibly thin profit margins
