Good turnout for the Port Fairy section of the Yoorrook Justice Commission Walk for Truth today.
Meeting near Killarney at a massacre site, participants were reminded about the reality of what happened with colonisation: massacres, brutal displacement, & long resistance that continues today.
The Australian Government needs to back up their words with action. We should be stepping up as a middle power and taking concrete action against the Government of Israel for the horrors it’s inflicting on the people of Gaza.

New emissions data is out - and it’s not good news. Carbon pollution is going up, and it’s higher than under Morrison’s Libs.
Labor’s approval of new coal and gas like the North West Shelf has consequences for the planet.
Two climate tests so far - and Labor’s failed both.

I'll keep pushing hard in this parliament to deal with the root causes of the big challenges our community has told me they want to see prioritised - especially housing, health, climate, nature and integrity.

"Traditional Owners welcome people not to the construct of Australia created at Federation but to ancient customary estates," writes Marcia Langton. "Dutton and Price know so little about our culture and history that they misunderstand this basic premise."
Sky News host slams Liberal Party for going ‘woke’ April 27, 2025 - 12:37PM Sky News host Rowan Dean has suggested the reason the Coalition is falling behind in the polls for the federal election is because they turned “woke”. “The basic lesson here, we’ve been saying it on this program for years now – you go woke, you go broke,” Mr Dean said. “The Liberals went woke as far as I can tell and I have no idea why.”
Anyway I think we can all agree the clear lesson is Dutton was simply too woke to keep his seat
his welfare policies and NDIS cuts literally hold millions of us back everyday. shameless liar.

2. rig the system
tonight they chose to rig the system.
a dark day for australian democracy.
It's like Silo, but just for billionaires, and with plunge pools.
Insane how quickly the racist regression is happening in this country. Decades of progress being undone in weeks, without even any laws having to be passed. Just sheer intimidation from Trump and the right, and sheer cowardice from the corporations.
Aboriginal message sticks are a fascinating insight into a complex system of written communication

Dynamite opening par from Grace Tame in @crikey.com.au "According to Anthony Albanese, decrying the Murdoch empire is more disrespectful than destabilising democracies, destroying the planet, disinforming the public and dodging millions of dollars in taxes for decades."
Even in dark times there is always hope.
Trump has just released an EO banning trans care for people under 18.
We must stand with the trans community!!

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws.
Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism.
We must stop him.

Trump is attempting to unilaterally freeze trillions of dollars in federal spending that’s been duly appropriated by Congress. This is completely insane and illegal. He’s seizing unlawful control over the constitutional spending power? Five alarm fire www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
