Queensland regressing to Joh era politics. Good on this young woman for testing the powers right away.

“Over the past 25 years the problem hasn’t been the supply of homes. It’s been the supply of homes for people who want to own and live in them,” writes Richard Dennis, co-CEO of The Australia Institute.

The Leader of the Luddites, 1812. Hand-coloured etching

215 years ago, on the 11th of March 1811, malcontent textile workers destroyed factory equipment in Arnold, Nottingham, starting the Luddite movement. The Luddites opposed the use of automated machinery based on concerns surrounding workers' pay and product quality. #otd #history 🗃️

The Christchurch mosque massacre should have been a turning point that forced this country to confront its own racism, but the reckoning never came.

No surprise his opening gambit is great replacement theory (the same ideology that inspired the Christchurch shooter)

Last week a US nuclear submarine torpedoed an Iranian vessel in the Indian Ocean, leaving the sailors to drown; 3 Australians were aboard the attacking submarine.

They were there because of #AUKUS, the $368b deal that entangles Australia in America's wars, signed by Scott Morrison.

The same day it's announced the Liberal Qld government is removing Aboriginal names from Qld electorates.

It's all been protested and criticized so often, in so many ways, but here we are again, and the ALP are leading us into it this time.

So we aren't just doing the bidding of an imploding, imperialist US.

We aren't even just doing it over oil.

We're doing it because repulsively unhinged Islamophobic extremists have fantasies and predictions about mass murder of brown people in that region.

I'm so upset about Albo taking us into another US war I'm struggling to articulate anything.

But

- Albo needs to denounce Islamophobia for cohesion and to denounce the growing violence. I bet he won't, to avoid upsetting Zionists and Hanson supporters

-Senior US military see these as holy wars

And Australia is on the wrong side of both challenges, thanks to the ALP.

Allowing myself 1 day to be mad at all the msm journos and social media pundits who knew Albo was dogshit by the last election, but failed to cover left minor parties half as much as they cover Hanson.

An Australian government that was serious about global peace — as opposed to maintaining US-Israeli dominance in the Middle East region — would not be sending military assistance to prop up the US-Israel war. www.greenleft.org.au/2026/1449/an...

Would like to know what on earth convinced Albo, Marles, Wong to go so hard for the US war machine, and have the audacity to drag the whole country in with them

Are they that paranoid about China or is it self interest and greed?

Her last couple of posts were about the illegal war, Shoebridge has been addressing it to.

Looking at what is happening in the USA, it seems one of the most important factors in democracy, is accountability. Consequences for harm and corruption, not elite impunity.

It would be a really valuable protection for our democracy if NACC did hold a former PM accountable.

Brazil vs USA stuff.

Any government serious about sexual harrassment and CSA would ban Grok, and impose penalties for offences it already enabled.

Banning teens instead is a mass lesson that sexual offences are legal and condoned in practice.

Me in @crikey.com.au today:

Albanese leveraged high profile young women to build his reputation as a leader who "got it". Now those same women tell me they feel the trust is gone, they've lost their patience and believe the PM's mask has slipped.

#OtD 8 Mar 1979 women who had participated in the Iranian revolution took to the streets with the slogan: "We did not make a revolution to go back!" The protest came shortly after the announcement of a law making wearing of the hijab mandatory stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1106...

Australian gas producers reap windfalls as Iran war chokes global supply Angela Macdonald-Smith Angela Macdonald-Smith Senior resources writer Mar 6, 2026 – 1.38pm Save Share Gift this article Listen to this article 7 min Australia’s biggest gas producers are cashing in on the conflict in the Middle East and the suspension of Qatari LNG production, which has disrupted global supply, with deals struck at more than double recent market rates. Santos, the country’s second-biggest listed oil and gas producer, finalised a deal with a commodities trader on Wednesday for the sale of an LNG cargo at about $US25 ($35) per million British thermal units (MMBtu), according to market sources, who were not authorised to speak publicly.

Not a single soul on the planet happier about bloodshed, conflict, uncertainty, rising energy bills, fuel shortages and cost of living collapse than the CEO of a fossil fuel company

Gen Z men twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands Global survey shows young men hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations

'A third (33%) of gen Z men also said a husband should have the final word on important decisions, according to the 29-country survey which included Great Britain, the US, Brazil, Australia and India.' 1/2

Funding for frontline FDSV services is still only 80% of what the sector has spent a decade calling for.

That's 1 in 5 women being turned away.

If this government can afford to hand $368b to Trump for AUKUS submarines, why can’t they afford to fully fund women and children’s safety?

There has been good work done to bring violence against women into the spotlight and encourage women to seek help.

But if that help is not there because there isn’t enough funding, we are condemning women to homelessness, violence or death.

🔥 Too Hot to Be Home 🔥

Today we’re releasing the first of this year's Renter Researchers reports, Too Hot to Be Home, looking at the experiences of renters in apartments and high-rise buildings across NSW.

What we found is that apartment living creates unique heat risks: top-floor units, west-facing windows, concrete and brick walls, limited cross-ventilation and sealed windows mean heat gets trapped, and often stays trapped overnight.
