Labor has just blown any enviro credentials they may've had by approving final step in the biggest new fossil fuel project in the Southern Hemisphere. A betrayal & disastrous for the future of our 🌎. We can't protect our planet while we are digging and burning new fossil fuels.
Short & sharp piece
“It’s time to stop just talking about the Gaza atrocities... We should be ashamed of ourselves – Latino govts far removed from the Israeli problem have the courage to break diplomatic relations [w Israel] while [Australia] just pleads impotence”

As govt prepares to remove children from the NDIS, the agency in charge of the scheme has been torn to shreds by the administrative review tribunal for breaking the law, 'repeated non-compliance' and conduct that constitutes contempt. A pattern emerges. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...
Well done to the ABC for publishing this statement on Richard Boyle. 👏👏👏 #auspol www.abc.net.au/about/media-...
Neoliberal solutions always involve gutting state welfare and pushing these responsibilities onto the (unpaid) shoulders of women in the home.
The anti-genocide movement has been driven by below: activists rather than bureaucrats, people rather than NGOs, students rather than professors, etc. Almost without exception, the top echelons of society have tried to stop the protests, not the genocide.
Here's me. "A comprehensive list of the non-lethal parts of my big death plane"
Marles says it is entirely appropriate for US administration to review AUKUS, so why are he and Albo so opposed to an independent review here in Aust? Our national interest seems to be to neutralise the LNP at any price, not to envision our place in the world. Labor tacticians, not statesmen.
Phoned Transport NSW to change a detail regarding a vehicle that is registered, jointly, with my husband. It was explained to me that I could not authorise the change as I was not the primary owner…That Transport NSW followed the legacy protocol of the husband is the primary. What year is this?
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."
Frankly, people are fucked.

@jetstarairways.bsky.social what are you doing to help?
Unacceptable, but not surprising. While supporting my sibling, with multiple disabilities, we find the INFLEXIBILITY of the health care SYSTEM to adapt to and meet the needs of individual patients a major challenge.
Our household has COVID, primary school the likely source. Once again our community is awash with this virus, the 2nd-3rd major spike this year without any v ‘low’ period. Every (re)infection does damage so pls work to minimise spread, to protect yourself & others. It’s not another common ‘cold’. 1/

It has been two weeks since Gail Furness released her NACC Robodebt 6 report that rendered Commissioner Brereton's position untenable. That he continues to cling to power and further undermine the already cratering public confidence in the NACC is bizarre and, hopefully, temporary. #auspol
The National Disability Insurance Agency is doubling down on its (deliberate?) misreading of its new legislation, popping up new Q&As online today that repeat the errors I've pointed out to them repeatedly now. Their Q&A vs the law. They think it ~only~ applies to specific info requests. Wrong.
