Honoured to meet with Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action and hear their stories of resilience. It's appalling that the costs of climate disasters continue to be paid by regular Australians and communities. Big polluters should be picking up the tab for the crises they create.
The first responsibility of governments is to protect us from foreseeable harm. As we head into a super El Nino summer, our government must act with more urgency to protect us from climate risks.
Over at @getup.org.au ‘s Instagram to see the full AI Deep Fake — here’s the side by side:
You may have missed it as the media was silent, but late yesterday the Labor-dominated committee looking into Lidia Thorpe’s bill to ban strip searches of children delivered its final report. The answer to overwhelming evidence of harm? Nothing that would stop a single search.
Wherever is the Albo of yesteryear?
Rex Patrick@mrrexpatrick.bsky.social · 2d ago“It’s a bully-boy tactic!” That’s corruption-busting barrister Geoffrey Watson SC’s description of @albomp.bsky.social’s new secrecy tactic of taking #FOI winners to court, and exposing those winners to hundreds of thousands in legal costs. #DontWinAnFOI #auspol
Had this to say about Josh Frydenberg today and I think I may have been a bit too kind to him. #pfffft
Always worthwhile to meet @apan4palestine.bsky.social. But alarming to hear from outgoing UN Special Rapporteur for Food who described the deliberate campaign by Israel to withhold adequate food supplies to Palestinians. Genocide by other means.
If a group hijacks music without permission they should face retrospective licencing penalties ten million times regular royalties. It's unacceptable to steal music, give the fraudulent impression the artist supports them, and then walk away with no consequences. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The Great Gas Giveaway just hit $78billon. And look, tbf, the gas companies are doing it tough. The government choosing to not do a 25% tax on gas exports is only fair - not like there are any needs currently being unmet... health, education, care, poverty, disability... live.thepoint.com.au

Wake up Albo and Wong. Innocent people are being killed whilst you both sit on your hands. Complicity is a death sentence for thousands of Palestinians.
Too late now to save Gaza and like many Australians, Labor’s silence that muzzles my voice and presumes to speak for me, I will reply in 2 years time and for the rest of my life by NEVER voting Labor again bsky.app/profile/gekk...

I feel so ashamed as a proud Greek Australian to see Greeks booing a Welcome To Country last night. Shame on us. The First Nations community of Melbourne deserves a formal apology for the behaviour of Greek Australians last night. #australiacup #Hellas #SouthMelbourne #MelbourneVictory
In the horror of a Genocide this is a moment of hope. 15 of the children from the Gaza Nipper’s program got back in the surf this week. 30 of the other nippers can’t be found, many have been killed. How has the world made the decision to send so many bombs and so few lifesavers?
Vic Greens launched their campaign last night to a packed crowd. Fiery speeches from Hannah Thomas and the new federal leadership of Steph Hodgins-May and David Shoebridge went over well. The message has sharpened: "We're not here to make Labor better, we're here to replace them
Brilliant comment from the petition. 👏👏👏
Peter Murphy@peterwmurphy1.bsky.social · 5d agoThere's a change.org petition to remove Jillian Segal as Australia’s Antisemitism Envoy. Please consider reading and signing this petition.

HAPPENING IN AMSTERDAM: 250,000 PRO-PALESTINE protesters screaming: F*ck Israel, F*ck Netanyahu 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I want to be super fucking clear about this. There is no greater betrayal of what all four of my grandparents went through in the Nazi camps than Zionists advocating for openly racist fascists. 6 million betrayed.
Amy notes that China has joined Japan is now onselling Australian gas. FMD we *really* need to tax the gas. Barely a more obvious policy has presented itself. One political party will do it and they will get all the advantage. #TaxTheGas www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...
Two things easily missed while we were distracted by trivia
In Australia, we’re too busy looking at the next carriage on the political sushi train to realise the track itself is broken.

Taxing the rich is gaining popularity around the world. Hatred of oligarchs is growing. It's a smart move by the Greens. Maintain the rage, Shoey. #Auspol michaelwest.com.au/new-greens-l...
