I want a world where everyone has someone who loves them, everyone has enough food, enough money, and a safe and comfortable place to sleep and just be.
This is a Minister who is purposeful delaying family reunion visas, denying refugees protection and scapegoating migrants for issues his Government created. It is not surprise Labor is in a race to the bottom on immigration, but it is toxic politics. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...
Labor was poised to reveal massive migration cuts, then suddenly delayed
The ABC understands the cuts to migration numbers are contentious within Labor, but no reason for the delay is given.

Europe shuts nuclear power plants due to drought. Now imagine putting nuclear power plants on the driest inhabited continent on earth 🙄

theaimn.net/the-weaponis... Segal “…has no legislative power to compel any institution to do anything. Her role is advisory. Yet Segal’s demanded sweeping legal & institutional changes that were never debated in Parliament. As one commentator noted, “This isn’t policy, it’s a Kafkaesque nightmare.”

Australia champions Indigenous rights abroad, yet the militarisation of northern Australia raises urgent questions about consultation, consent and the use of Indigenous lands for defence purposes, Henry Reynolds writes. #auspol #PineGap #IndigenousRights
This is so deeply disturbing to read, If it eventuates it would in essence be One Nation now running immigration policy for the Albanese Government and them abandoning migrants and refugees in a desperate attempt to win votes. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...

French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡

The corporatisation of universities saves the public no money. Because it taints all the research done at those universities. It's the equivalent of political donations in politics. It taints everything.

This article is excellent. It speaks volumes about how governments take so many in the environmental and conservation sectors and communities for granted theconversation.com/australia-ha.... As H5N1 begins to spread and devastate Australian wildlife the dire consequences of this are evident.
Australia has long relied on volunteers and wildlife carers. As bird flu spreads, they will need support
Volunteers have been a mainstay of conservation in Australia. As bird flu spreads, they must be supported – and kept safe.

Saw a post that was basically like "an EV needs to have over 600 miles range" because it implied stopping to charge at all wasn't an option. On normal highways, not in Alaska. If you don't get out of your car for 8 hours at a time you need medical attention and a divorce.

The “Why would a woman I’ve made worry that I will hurt her if she displeases me cook to placate me?” question is only asked by the least self-aware domestic abusers.
Kepler spent years defending circular orbits, then changed course when evidence pointed to ellipses. Fauci’s evolving view on COVID’s origin reflects the same scientific duty: update conclusions as evidence changes. That isn’t lying, it’s science correcting itself. This is how science works!
The Challenger disaster was a horrible tragedy, but I remember it was so shocking because catastrophe under NASA was so rare. This never-ending procession of privatised space rockets exploding every other week is making it mundane. Privatisation is shit.
When Pauline Hanson bans journalists from some media outlets from her pressers, why don't the journalists from ALL the other outlets simply walk out in solidarity, and refuse to report anything she has to say? No radio, television, newspaper or online reporting. None. #auspol #JournalismIsNotACrime
Fossil fuel industries get an estimated 7 trillion in subsidies. We are paying for our own mass death and destruction.
Australia Institute research showed in 2023 that 69% of the inflation above the RBA's target after COVID was due to excess corporate profits. But the Reserve Bank continues to ignore profits driving inflation. #auspol @richarddenniss.bsky.social

Antisemitism has been exceptionalized: "A government can respond to one racism with the full weight of the state and to another with programs and pamphlets" #auspol pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/08...
The government cannot ask Muslims not to compare
The government created a legitimate comparison when it appointed envoys for Islamophobia and antisemitism, and Muslim communities are entitled to ask whether both responses reflect equal protection.
