Queensland Police have shared dashcam footage of a police car chasing a man through a car park. They want you to think this is cool, but it's part of a campaign to make it easier for cops to initiate deadly pursuits.

“As long as we keep burning #fossilfuels, temperatures will increase globally. And that will mean that these fire weather conditions will get worse and worse and worse” #climatesky #wildfire
Canada's National Observer@nationalobserver.com · 2d agoOne of the clearest descriptions of climate dynamics for laypeople that you’ll ever hear: “It will inevitably get worse. It will get worse and worse and worse.”
It was always strange to call the genocide in Gaza a war, but it's even more bizarre when there is a ceasefire and Israel has killed 1200 Palestinians since then. Even if the Guardian doesn't want to use the term genocide "war" doesn't capture one sided slaughter of civilians
Our oil and gas belong to Australians, and we're losing as much as $50 million a day in tax revenue. It's time the government secured a fair return on our finite national resources. We have a real problem when even Donald Trump can see it, but our PM can't.
I absolutely agree. #FreePalestine #YNWA #LFC
Zarah Sultana MP@zarahsultana.bsky.social · 2d agoThe Premier League returns this month. As a lifelong Red, I’ve written to Liverpool FC about links to six sponsors implicated in Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians. The club has not yet responded. Liverpool must answer supporters and end complicity in apartheid and genocide.
The government must implement all recommendations of the Murphy Review, which includes an immediate ban on inducements.
As I wrote a few weeks ago, Australia's federal data centre guidelines **DO NOT** limit the use of fossil fuels. You can build a single 1 watt solar panel plus 2 gigawatts of gas and be in compliance. Nicely laid out here: www.minister.industry.gov.au/king/media/i...
![STEWART BRASH: There’s set to be 12 data centres planned for the Northern Territory,
some are more advanced than others. SunCable are talking about one, in the Barkly
Murranji Station, also in the Northern Barkly, one hyperscaled, one in the Darwin rural area
as well.
Now the Chief Minister, Lia Finocchiaro, wants a carve-out for the NT when it comes to
power and water, 'cause the Prime Minister's made it clear he wants unified guidelines
relating to the development of data centres across the country. The Chief Minister
wants – well, we're different, we have access to power, we have access to say gas, easy
gas, and also to water. What's the Federal Government's perspective on the call for that
carve-out by Lia Finocchiaro?
MINISTER MADELEINE KING: It is important to have uniform rules and to have a
framework around data centres, which is a new industry. And if we think about the gas
reservation. If only we had done this reserve type work 15 years ago before the exports
started, it wouldn't be as complicated to implement now.
And that's the same for data centres, we need to have some ground rules, because people,
you know, they read a lot in the media about how much water, we're not quite sure how
much water, some demand more than others, the power they require is enormous.
Nonetheless they're inevitable, and they're going to be important for our future, and I think
it was – well, I know it was the Pope in his encyclical wrote, “It is the building site of our
time,” or “the construction site of our time.”
STEWART BRASH: Well it’s the Industrial Revolution --
MINISTER MADELEINE KING: And we want to be part of it.

Data shows you're 11% more likely to die in a crash while *driving* an SUV, largely because the false sense of indestructibility leads you to drive more recklessly around others. Antisocial behaviour is baked into the design of these monstrosities.

What angers me most when reading articles like this is that claims of a "rise in antisemitism" in Australia are a hoax, a mass deception intended to push through laws meant to silence pro-Palestine activism and criticism of Israeli atrocities throughout this country. johnmenadue.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.

The “ceasefire” has been an excuse for Israel to continue their #GazaGenocide, quietly. With the Trump regime and too many other governments complicit.
Drop Site@dropsitenews.com · 5d agoFor more than nine months of a “ceasefire,” Israel and the United States have blocked shelter aid from entering Gaza at scale, deliberately forcing Palestinians to live in unsafe apartments or crowded tents, all in violation of the ceasefire terms. This is the result ⬇️

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

We need an alternative to the sovereignty destroying, secretive, wasteful ,warmongering AUKUS fiasco. Labor must focus on cost of living, climate change, housing, health and education. Threatening Rex Patrick with costs in order to hide plans for a nuclear waste dump stinks!
