A historic moment as Treaty passes Vic Parliament, the first time in our history that a Treaty has been enshrined in law.
To those who have fought for this - thankyou.
This must act as a guiding light towards federal truth, Treaty & justice for all First Nations people.

Albanese confident on AUKUS despite Trump's Korean subs promise
As the US president promises South Korea can have nuclear submarines, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese insists this can be delivered alongside the AUKUS boats.
The US industrial base barely makes one Virginia nuclear submarine a year, now they need to make 2.33 a year for AUKUS, plus another huge Columbia nuclear submarine a year plus X more for South Korea. This book goes in the fiction, not documentary, aisle. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Powerful moments in the ACT Legislative Assembly as they get set to overturn the Catholic Church's disgraceful precedent in DP v Bird that was harming survivors of child sexual abuse.

Huge news from the ACT! Laws closing the loopholes exposed by Bird v DP have passed today. This means institutions can no longer hide behind technicalities to avoid responsibility for child abuse. Survivors deserve justice. Every state and territory must follow the ACT's lead.

Solidarity to the AWU Victorian Forest Firefighters campaigning for decent pay, an end to the gender pay gap, and an upgrade of unreliable vehicles.
Our govt should be doing everything possible to support our emergency service workers, especially when they continue to make the climate crisis worse.

Jon has been left with metal posts instead of teeth and $40k less super
A 12-fold increase in Australians raiding their retirement nest eggs to fund expensive dental treatments in recent years has been labelled a "systemic failure".
Super withdrawals for #dental soar to new heights, prompting calls for more oral #health funding
Experts are concerned #Australians withdrew more than $817 million from their super for dental last financial year, compared to about $66 million in 2018-19

You could drive a bulldozer through the loopholes in Labor's EPBC reforms. Hardly surprising for laws written to protect corporate profits.
Under Labor climate emissions are rising and Australia is a world leader in deforestation and species extinction. These laws won't fix that.
