A catastrophic climate event is upon us. Here is why you’ve heard so little about it | George Monbiot Scientists say a crucial Atlantic system is set to collapse. But the billionaire death cult that steers humanity’s destiny just doesn’t do existential crises, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

While we are transfixed by the antics of our supposed "leaders", a catastrophe of astonishing proportions has been creeping up on us. Climate scientists now believe it is more likely than not to happen, and soon.

Corbyn on Palantir:

"In 2019, I warned that the NHS was being sold off to private U.S companies.
The media's response? I was peddling Russian propaganda.
One of those companies is Palantir, a company that has enabled genocide in Gaza. We were right then and we are right now: Kick Palantir out."

Cutting the #NDIS by $50billion AT THE SAME TIME as we will pay $360Billion to the warmongering failed-state USA??
Are you fucking kidding me ???

For those in the back who didn’t get the message.

In this democracy its OK that 5,000 kids books will get destroyed because the illustrator, separately to his involvement with the book and in his private capacity as a human, commented on the most blood-thirsty genocide in recent history.
Meanwhile its ok a rapist runs the PHON campaign.

‘Overwhelming case’: Billionaire’s ex-secretary refused bail over alleged $1.6m fraud Sitting alone in a small room, the former secretary for billionaire Judith Neilson appeared to be fighting back tears upon hearing the judge’s decision.

Interesting you can get refused bail for alleged large scale theft but not for alleged war crimes murder x 5 🤔

That smells like racketeering

So, ABC, you've decided to write a terrible article on EVs In the midst of a petrol crisis, attention is being heaped upon electric vehicles. The commentariat has emerged to have their say.

Opinion | Both old and new media are flooding the zone with clickable shit on EVs. Some of the worst offenders are Nine and the ABC, writes John Birmingham. www.crikey.com.au/2026/04/23/e...

Here’s a plan to fully fund the NDIS, cancel AUKUS! That will free up $100 billion over the next decade to give people with disability the support they need.

Got it - despair and then a crackdown on us protesting - pick yr model - Nazis? Russia?

The circle is finally closing.

The ALP has become the LNP while the LNP has become One Notion.

They will solve all of our problems by an across the board increase in cruelty to the poor, the disabled, the elderly the disadvantaged and the displaced.

And the Isreal lobby - perhaps the same thing??

Spineless sellout.
The Albanese government is a wholly owned subsidiary of the fossil fuel lobby. #auspol

The personal pain & societal issues embedded in these stats
"Harper’s Magazine survey May 2026 issue:
- % of Americans who say that, as children, they knew a compassionate, nonjudgmental adult: 35

- That their father was: 5." NYT

I mean the 'no gas tax' I just heard Albo is weaselling away from 😤

And this after dumping on disabled people. Where did Labor go???

I can't wait to see your piece Rick. You always express the facts along with the outrage we feel 💓

Working on a piece about the NDIS announcement. Taking my time to get my thoughts in order but the one thing I know for sure is that all the realpolitik of 'financial management' now means sweet FA to people who watched existing services disappear in favour of a promise made to them. Now what?

Traitorous!!

Oh come on

More than a third of Australians are seeking food relief for the first time About one in three people are accessing food relief services for the first time, according to a new report from Food charity OzHarvest.

Albanese govt: *increases defence spending and cuts disability support*

Our first sitting senator, @DavidShoebridge joined the latest program to discuss the governments sovereign decision-making (or lack thereof) that amounts to supporting international piracy.

This was a great chat and worth a watch.

Labor at last finds courage on refocusing the NDIS. Whether bureaucrats can deliver is another matter Labor's NDIS reforms address the grim maths that some people diagnosed with a disability will need to miss out on services, which must be priorities for those with functional impairment.

"Why does the NDIS get such detailed media & govt scrutiny, when Defence - also large and growing just as rapidly - suffers far worse rorting and incompetence and gets rewarded with billions in extral funding?" asks @keanebernard.bsky.social of @crikey.com.au www.crikey.com.au/2026/04/23/l...
