Don't believe the spin. Pollution from the gas export plant is destroying the ancient Murujuga rock art. The ABC’s report that a top statistician quit a study into whether Woodside’s North West Shelf gas plant was destroying the Murujuga rock art after the WA

Today, the ABC reports that a top statistician quit a study into whether Woodside’s North West Shelf gas plant was destroying the Murujuga rock art after the WA govt misrepresented his team’s key finding.

“Someone who had a key role is saying what we've long known. WA govt misrepresented the facts"

A tweet from Sky News reading 'Aston Villa fan Andrew Fox says he has received online abuse and even death threats following the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from the match in Birmingham.' A follow up tweet says 'This is a correction of a previous post that incorrectly identified Mr Fox as Jewish'.

A page from the Henry Jackson Society website for Andrew Fox, Research Fellow, which says he joined HJS in 2014 and that 'Andrew specialises in Defence, the Middle East, and disinformation'.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

MEDIA RELEASE: Israel’s ongoing attacks on starving Gazans
“As Jews, we cannot watch Palestinians starved, concentrated into zones to be shot with impunity, and not remember our own history. The Australian government must urgently act.”

EVs, tech industries and the US-China trade war – Solidarity Online David Glanz looks at how China is trying to dominate high-tech manufacturing, and why its economic challenge to the US is spilling over into imperialist conflict.

Labor panders to big business with productivity push – Solidarity Online Treasurer Jim Chalmers has declared “productivity” a centrepiece of the Labor government’s second term agenda.

Labor is promoting an increase in productivity.

But workers have no interest in boosting bosses’ profits or productivity.

We need a bigger share of the profit workers already produce and relief from the cost-of-living crisis.

But the only way to get that is to fight for it.

Wes Streeting, and this entire Labour government, really are pieces of work. You know what's undermining the union movement Wes? Your government's austerity, assaults on workers' rights and stiring up racism.

Fighting for the right to choose is still necessary. I wrote this pamphlet and it’s been published with a lovely cover - only AU$5 from solidarity.net.au
