Lake kayaker. Small-medium mountains OK too. On Ngunnawal/Ngambri country - #Canberra, Australia. Household cats are sucked in by progressive media. Views are theirs; sometimes mine.

When you have a mayor like Zohran,
the words "government" and "exciting" belong in the same sentence.

Australia news live: Queensland premier defends laws after two protesters arrested over use of β€˜from the river to the sea’ phrase Follow the day’s updates live

"Crisafulli was asked what training police had been given about the laws:

'...I have faith in police implementing laws in a calm and measured way'."

So, no training. This was never about calm enforcement.

It's about suppressing protest against genocidal Israel.

The Powerful Owl release that @lucyparkerpaul.bsky.social & I helped with went beautifully last night. We found a spot where there was open space to fly, and let it settle for a while with a view of a tree that it might fly into once released. And that's exactly what it did.

This appalling war that Labor supports is unravelling into chaos as Trump now calls for a Coalition of the Unwilling to send warships. Australia must refuse and instead join with other nations, not to fight this illegal war, but to help end it.

Doesn't work like that, Barnaby.

A serious question that no-one in the Canberra press gallery wants to ask Anthony Albanese, Penny Wong or Richard Marles

Don’t make bicyclists more visible. Make drivers stop hitting them. Mandatory helmet laws and glow-in-the-dark spray paint just show who really owns the roads.

A decade on, the message is still the same:

β€œβ€¦the person operating the giant machine on public roads needs to be responsible for not killing people with it.”

Speers also reflects the political biases across most mainstream media:

Status quo parties like Labor, Lib and Nats are almost never questioned about their funding sources, even though there is so much evidence on how vested interests impact public policy. #insiders #auspol

The Albanese govt should be facing tough decisions too.

But instead, we have a political and media establishment who continues to suppress any serious discussion on the huge risks of #AUKUS, US bases and the US 'alliance'.

Which are currently in the hands of a fickle fascist buffoon. #auspol

Antisemitism: β€œIt’s a trick. We always use it.” Public debate about genocide in Gaza is increasingly dominated by claims of antisemitism. The result is a political climate where outrage at Israel’s actions is recast as prejudice.

"the IHRA definition has frequently been used to 'equate criticisms of Israel with hatred of Jews'
...even its author, Kenneth Stern, has expressed concern about the 'McCarthy-like' use of the definition which he says is being weaponized to suppress political speech."
