Residents of Gaza gathered for the mass funeral of 112 members of the Abu Sharia and al-Hasayna families, who were among 308 others killed by Israeli strikes since Nov 2023. 🧵

"We used to have a proud life. As a pharmacist & a lawyer, we never imagined asking for aid. 3 years of no income in Gaza made providing food, clothes, & medicine for our 2 kids a daily battle. Our donations are dangerously low. Please help. 🙏 Vetted by Molly Shah ✅" tinyurl.com/4rycmjm5

On the same day the Labor party membership discusses the idea of a gas tax, Labor Ministers are in court trying to hide how many meetings they've held with the gas corporation trying to get approval for their massive climate-wrecking Browse gas project.

All bauxite mining in the jarrah forest will now be owned by one US company that has a dismal record of compliance with Aus. laws. Alcoa’s expansion should be scrapped, because while it's under assessment, the impact is already clear: mining for bauxite destroys forests and endangers our water.

"More than 60 villages have been totally or partially destroyed.. this appears to be official policy.. Israel Katz just a few days ago said 'we promised to apply the Gaza model in southern Lebanon & we did. We destroyed everything'" Part of a report by Zeina Khodr

Haha, seriously? PHON are a terribly run party with awful policies and Hanson has the charisma of a toilet duck. They're backed by a Trump groupie who speaks like Trude and Prue and plays with toy bulldozers. Be less fascist. Do more things to help people. That's it. You're welcome. #auspol

Thanks @johnmenadue.com for publishing this piece on how we cost roads and motoring. EV drivers are happy to pay for road use, provided it's based on the same formula as every other vehicle on the road. Pollution is a separate charge, paid only by those who pollute.

EV drivers are willing to contribute to road costs, but a fair road user charge should apply to all vehicles by distance and mass – with fossil-fuel vehicles also paying for pollution and emissions through fuel excise, Chris Jones writes. #auspol #EVs #Transport

Today we grieve 1,000 days of genocide perpetrated by the Israeli and US governments against Palestinians in Gaza. For 1,000 days, the Israeli military has systematically flattened Gaza — and now Lebanon — to make it impossible for Palestinians and Lebanese to return to their homes.

It is 266 days into the October 2025 “ceasefire” that the Israeli military has violated over 3,000 times. Since that date, the Israeli military has killed over 1,000 Palestinians, including one child in Gaza every single day.
