Me too. I didn’t find out I had aphantasia until I was in my sixties. I thought everyone was like me. Even when I dream I don’t actually see stuff.

‘My life has become a rollercoaster’: Francesca Albanese on death threats, danger and dread after accusing Israel of genocide When the UN special rapporteur published her report Anatomy of a Genocide in March 2024, she was lionised by some and demonised by the Trump government.

Rich Kid Poor Kid: The battle for public education (Vantage Point Issue 5) - Store - The Australia Institute For decades, Australia has been pumping money into private education while public schools struggle. Whether it’s crumbling classrooms, overworked teachers or cuts to music and STEM programs, the syste...

australiainstitute.org.au/store/rich-k... The current system contributes to greater inequity, decreased integration of different communities & even traffic jams as parents are more likely to drive their kids to a private school further from their house.

Look what just arrived! Out May 5.

Sun 12Apr2026 Sydney Morning Herald: "The people in Gaza are generally terrorists. They don't deserve to live there." With international attention focused on Iran, the "pioneers" of Israel's religious Zionist movement have their sights set on Gaza.

Sun 12Apr2026 Sydney Morning Herald headline describes Palestinians in Gaza as "generally terrorists" and the Zionist Israelis seeking to take the occupied territory as "pioneers". This is obscene Israeli Zionist propaganda. 😠 #ThisIsNotJournalism #IsraeliTerrorism

Forecast of gas consumption out to 2025. Domestic consumption is forecast to halve, all the while a shit tonne of LNG keeps getting exported.

The gas industry wants you to believe that we're about to run out of gas. Here's the forecast from last month out to 2045

There’s a special place in hell for people in crowded waiting rooms or public transport who put their bag on the seat next to them.

Unilateral

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

Struggling with the idea of compensation for the media. When small businesses lose clients/business because of changing government policy/laws there is no compensation. Why is it the biggest/richest in our society must always have compensation but average people have to suck it up?

Relieved to see that evidence still counts for something in Australia.

This is a hideous, unacceptable fact. #FreePalestine

Or does he?

Steppin Out - definitely!
Baker Street - meh.

Israel has passed the death penalty solely for Palestinians, enforced through military courts with a 96% conviction rate.

Israeli Minister Ben Gvir popped champagne.

The Israeli government is raising a toast to genocidal apartheid. The UK government is arming and funding it.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - being against Zionism IS not anti Semitic.

Anti-Zionism means that you are against a political ideology that thinks it is ok to brutally murder tens of thousands people and steal their land, because they think they are superior to those people.

The Cravens

Charts showing two columns Adult community & other education industry: wages $3.9bn; profits, $1.7bn Oil and gas industry: wages $4bn, profits $71.6bn

Part 2 in "Just how big is the oil and gas industry".

The private adult education sector pays almost as much in wages as does the gas industry. Profits are a tad different.

I think you’ll soon find that Lebanon has never existed.

Slaughtering and starving babies to death is hard work.

Their disconnect from reality is staggering.

A group of people solemnly carry a casket draped with a Lebanese flag. Text above states: "Israel killed 826 in Lebanon," with statistics on women, children, and paramedics.

"Lebanon’s Ministry of Health said the death toll from Israeli strikes has reached 826, with 2,009 people wounded since March 2 as attacks continue to intensify across the country. At least 65 women and 106 children have been killed by Israeli strikes"(PalTimes News) #Israel #Lebanon

Don't forget that despite being busy bombing Iranian and Lebanese schools and hospitals, Israel hasn't stopped their genocide of the Palestinian people. Yesterday they killed journalist Amal Shamali while they were firebombing tents housing displaced people in central Gaza. Her daughter saw her die.

His greatest achievement was waiting for Barnaby to defect to One Nation before stepping down.

On that point what happened to the ‘reserves’ Angus said he stashed in the U.S?

Quick question now that the oil price has skyrocketed and everyone’s thinking about digging into their reserves: What’s happened to our reserves that Angus stashed in the U.S?

3 Australians involved.

I thought that was Jillian Segal’s job

Let me guess, wealthy people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying taxes now want the countries they moved from to protect them?

It is sad to see the good name of the FIFA Peace Prize tarnished in this way.
