"Indigenous dispossession defended as civilisation. The White Australia Policy presented as nation-building. Restrictions on women justified as protecting family life. Homosexuality criminalised in the name of public morality—b/c institutions made them feel ordinary." johnmenadue.com/post/2026/07...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I’m still amazed that the sub judice aspect has been ignored in the rolling media campaign for a Bondi royal commission. In case you’ve not read about it (and why would you) I’ve written about it here: open.substack.com/pub/nickfeik...

There’s a lot of misinformation being spread and it's communities who pay the price. We need honest, science-based leadership that brings communities together and delivers a clean, secure energy future. #AusPol
Wow Sussan Ley has changed her tune, here she is 5yrs ago talking about Net Zero like it’s the best thing in the world “As Environment Minister no one wants to get to Net Zero more quickly than I do” “We can get there, we should get there, & we have to bring the ppl with us”🙈 #auspol
Just watched the SBS coverage of the opening of the ASEAN Summit - not a female leader in sight. How is this possible in 2025?

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

I am not 100% certain where Tim Minchin stands on Israel's genocide of the people of Palestine so I may or may not be on speaking terms with him these days, however ... Tim's song 'Thank You God' still speaks directly to my soul. 🙏 youtu.be/IZeWPScnolo?...

100% fan-girled Prof David Lindenmayer today at his compelling Forest Wars lecture in #Brisbane City Hall today. Highly recommend his book about all the 42 YEARS of impressive science that debunks myriad myths about bio-harmful, fire-worsening, economically-failed native forest logging in Australia
