A reminder that ultra-fast fashion brands SHEIN and Temu are hurting Australian designers and jobs, with dozens of local Aussie brands and hundreds of physical stores shutting down. We need government action if we want to see sustainable, local fashion grow and stop the rise of fast-fashion slop.
Instead of increasing investment in public health, NSW Premier Chris Minns has told people to avoid going to the emergency room unless it’s “life-threatening”. Experts say the stress on the health care system was and is expected, so is the long term strategy to tell people to avoid the ED?
And that’s on people power. India’s young people have really shown the world that protest does work - I mean if it didn’t why would they even bother with all the anti-protest laws in Australia. Overturning a fascist government takes time and this is a huge step forward.
Two weeks ago Albanese shook Modi’s hand with pride - a known fascist. Now thousands in India are protesting against the Modi government, asking for the bare minimum - a voice. This is a result of a decade of censorship and horrifying treatment of marginalised groups.
Our favourite fashionista, Pauline, attended a Dolce & Gabbana show this week in Italy. From dressing as a bigot with her stunts in parliament to her lounging outfit when she's with Gina, Pauline really does it all.
Who would’ve thunk it?! Relying on finite dirty sources of power increases our electricity bills. Net zero targets are not just an environmental policy but an economic one because renewable energy helps your pocket and the planet.
18-24 year old men made up the majority of complaints about facing sexual extortion. This is proof the social media ban won’t work. A blanket ban isn’t the solution to anything. The government must hold big tech accountable to moderate content, and educate users, not just take them off the app.
People power works - Meta has just pulled their terrifying AI feature after people called them out. A huge win showing us the change we all have the power to make when we come together.
The biggest coal mine in NSW’s HISTORY is being assessed right now. You can stop it by making a submission. If approved, the Hunter Valley coal mine’s expansion will lead to: 🚨 800 million tonnes of pollution 🚨 an extra 200 million tonnes of coal 🚨 destructive open-cut coal mining til 2045
Huge win for gas companies! While Aussies deal with cost of living pressures, these BILLION DOLLAR companies are pocketing an extra $27 BILLION due to the shortfall caused by Trump’s war in Iran. It’s time for a tax on gas exports.
BILLION DOLLAR gas companies are about to pocket an extra $27 BILLION due to the war in Iran. These companies are not helping Aussies dealing with the cost of living crisis by pocketing this money. It’s time for a tax on gas exports.
Imagine if we just taxed the rich so they never became billionaires and we had more funding for welfare in the first place.
A STEP FOR SUSTAINABLE FASHION France just passed a law fining SHEIN and Temu for every piece of clothing they sell. The law also bans all advertising from SHEIN and Temu, including influencer promotion.
Coal, oil and gas companies spend MILLIONS on programs for children, from Nippy’s junior life-saving to climate education programs. But they’re not doing this to create a better future for children. The fossil fuels they produce pollute the very air and water these kids swim in.
SHOCKER! A new report found Europe’s deadly heatwaves are caused by climate change and would’ve never happened 50 yrs ago. ONE DAY of extreme heat causes ~3,400 excess deaths in India, found another report. Australia is a HUGE exporter of coal/gas and must take responsibility.
Congrats Karl, you're free from Nine! Guess you just had to fly across the globe to interview a far-right extremist who's been convicted of fraud, grooming and assault and has racist beliefs to get there. Here's to conflating freedom of speech and platforming racism and misinformation.
Yesterday’s NSW budget release shows us that we do not need to rely on dirty coal mining to fund health and education, even though these billion dollar companies love to claim they do. Over a decade, these billion-dollar companies make up an average of only 2.4% of total government revenue.

Would love to see Karl Stefanovic and Dave Hughes, two white men with massive media platforms, use their voice to advocate for progressive policy that benefits all Australians instead of spewing misinformation and using immigrants as scapegoats.
In 2025-26, fossil fuel companies received $16.3 BILLION in subsidies from Australian governments. Coal companies may now get an EXTRA $6.2 billion in taxpayer refunds if the Albanese government approves half the mine developments up for approval. We need to incentivise renewables, not dirty coal.
Elon gave Trump a chainsaw to “cut the red tape”. But Gina Rinehart thinks Australia needs more, gifting Hanson a bulldozer. What we need is community action to stop the rise of this absurdity. From work places to book clubs to festivals - this is community and each conversation matter.
Pauline Hanson loves to talk about jobs for Australians while outsourcing her own campaign to workers overseas for cheap labour. And a reminder that Hanson is besties with a BILLIONAIRE, has a private plane and raised over $4 million in just ~2 weeks. This is Hanson’s excuse:
Mmm don’t think you can be a bigot and a Socceroos fan, Pauline. And also don’t start celebrating multiculturalism once it suits your agenda.
In the last week we've seen Nine's Newspaper support bigotry + misinformation. The Daily Tele headlined One Nation’s "FIRE THE LIAR". The AFR had an election graphic with it invented parties but left out the Labor party because the SA Electoral Commission used AI in its data collection.
Data centres are just like fossil fuels. The government and corporations will tell us about how many jobs and much $$ they’ll generate. They’ll promise to consult communities and impacts. And then they’ll leave us with more expensive energy, barely any jobs all while damage Indigenous land.
Activist Hannah Thomas suffered life altering injuries from a police officer's punch. Yet SHE had to bear the medical costs + file a lawsuit before NSW Police admitted to assaulting and falsely imprisoning her. Where’s the Inquiry into NSW Police who are wasting taxpayer $$ to defend themselves?
Highway to hell. Imagine if our major parties had good progressive policies that benefited everyday Australians rather than the 1%. Imagine if our major parties spent their time consulting communities instead of investing in culture wars.
ICYMI, the Minns’ government: - is fast tracking data centres without proper community consultation, - reversed their DECADE long ban on gas exploration. All of this is in the name of innovation and job growth, but it's actually dirty projects without community involvement or promised benefits.
Then: - sanction Israel - end trade with Israel - meet with the activists
Meta has no problem “limiting political content” but won’t take down a horrifyingly racist post that has no doubt been reported several times. Just one of the ways our billion dollar social media companies profit off of racism, rage bait and extremist content.
