Grace Tame’s bookings cancelled for 2026 amid ‘national smear campaign’ After telling a conference how child sexual abuse thrives on silence, the former Australian of the Year revealed her public speaking engagements for the year had been cancelled.

The idea that Grace has literally been cancelled is absolutely appalling.
Grace is not only an outstanding #AustralianOfTheYear but she's a legend of our lifetime with her tireless advocacy.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Lol, US military commanders are telling their troops they're on a "spiritual mission" to bring about "Armageddon", and the Zionists have been using their old religious books to justify bombing kids in EIGHT fkn countries, and our media is like "IRAN IS AN UNHINGED THEOCRACY"

Refusing to build supportive housing for those who would otherwise be homeless means more unhoused people living on our streets and in our parks, AND much higher public costs paid by all of us. It’s as simple as that. #UrbanTruth

It's World Wildlife Day.

If you love Australian wildlife and wish @albomp.bsky.social's government would do far more to protect and care for it, smash repost!

There are a number of reasons why Trump and Netanyahu would want to strike Iran.
Concern for the Iranian people would not be on that list.

Centre-right 'betrayed' West, MAGA figure tells Australian conservatives Benjamin Harnwell, the "international editor" of Steve Bannon's War Room podcast, says centre-right politicians have "betrayed" the West by supporting "mass immigration".

An invitee to the Advance conference said that Angela Merkel “did more damage to the fabric of her country than the Nazis did, than Hitler did, 80 years ago.” Because immigration, apparently.
Can’t believe there are sections of the local Jewish community that support this organisation.

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points

“The climate scientists we surveyed were unambiguous: current economic models can’t capture what matters most – the cascading failures and compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world – and could undermine the very foundations of economic growth.”

Should be the top story everyday.

Don't use the services of Kennards Hire or Kennards Self Storage.

Sam Kennard is a major donor to Advance, so that is where your money will be going.

What’s concerning is not that Angus Taylor has no policies or any idea,
but that according to Libs themselves he’s the ‘smartest’ in their shadow cabinet.
The party’s now a joke, and he’s the punchline.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

ICC judge sanctioned by US urges EU to fight back Nicolas Guillou said the Trump administration’s use of sanctions undermines European democracy and called for Europe to curb reliance on American tech.

French ICC judge Nicolas Guillou was placed under U.S. sanctions last year after issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

“It has a chilling effect, and it is very much intended,” he told me in The Hague ahead of a Brussels trip🧵

Zali Steggall points out the consequences of inviting Isaac Herzog given the ongoing Israeli genocide against Palestine was 'highly foreseeable'

Another fine encapsulation of this shitshow loosely called a democracy David.

Speaking of Monsters.

When Herzog said he warned Australia about the growing threat of antisemitism, was that written on the warhead that was dropped on the head of Palestinians?

Penny Wong insisted "Jewish leaders had urged the government to issue an invitation.

And that's where it gets complicated. Not all Jewish Australians want Herzog to come."

Thank you, Laura Tingle, for acknowledging what few in mainstream media will.
And for tackling the realities that most avoid.

You’re not real Aboriginals. You don’t wear a lap-lap and hunt for your food, or live in a bark humpy!

Why is it white Australian culture can evolve but Aboriginal culture is not allowed to or risk being classified as not Aboriginal?

Simple answer - Racism.
