How will history regard the Albanese government? On turning a blind eye to war crimes in Iran, Gaza and Lebanon

Australia has done nothing while Israel has assassinated journalists, medics, aid workers, diplomats, foreign & spiritual leaders. Through the war crimes & illegal invasions, Albanese has done nothing even to dissuade Israel – no sanctions, no support for arrest warrants.
Is there even a red line?

Looks like the Minister for the Environment took some time out from approving fossil fuel projects and driving species towards extinction to deliver some absolute zingers at the Labor state conference. #politas www.themercury.com.au/news/tasmani...

A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing an assembly of renewable energy solutions - solar panels, battery storage, high speed rail, electrified truck freight, EVs and charging infrastructure, wind turbines, and bicycles - put together in a shape that resembles a military tank. A different approach to a massive increase in military spending that would increase Australia's security and sovereignty in times of global unrest.

Best defence.

Gas corporations will make up to $107 billion in Australian exports this year thanks to Trump’s new war, while paying a lower rate of tax than a nurse.

If you're concerned about the state of the world (who isn't) and wondering what we should be doing to push back / chart a course to a better world, this proposal from @timhollo.bsky.social is well worth your time.

20 minutes into Defence Minister Marles’s ‘landmark’ speech on Australia’s 2026 National Defence Strategy and he has failed to mention Trump or the chaos of US threats and wars.

Yep, it's super irresponsible journalism for anyone reporting on Jackson's comments not to mention that it is very well established that COVID is “a vascular disease masquerading as a respiratory one”

Australia's largest industrial climate pollution scheme is also its most poorly understood.

Today the federal government is releasing a new round of data today: details of the second year of the reformed scheme ahead of a review this year.

Here's what we know so far...

Fool's gold: Have the QLD Greens picked the wrong lane for the Olympics? Maybe in a post-capitalist utopia, a harmless Olympics is possible, but the IOC host city agreement demands destructive consumerism

Good piece from Jonathan Sriranganathan on the importance of sticking to the #NOlympics message, even if there isn't really any hope of stopping the Brisbane games.

The 1% will fight like hell to keep their billions. Gina and Clive will be furious. The media will come for us. Labor, the Coalition and PHON will circle the wagons.

But there’s more of us than there are of them. And if we organise, we can win. 👇

If we organise, the many can take on the few. We’ve seen it in New York, the UK and throughout history. With your help, we can build pressure to tax the ultra wealthy in Australia.

The 1% have broken the economy, but the 99% can fix it.

Change starts now: taxthe1percent.com.au

While you work harder than ever to get ahead, the 1% make money in their sleep and big corporations make massive profits.

And it's getting worse.

But here’s the kicker: while your wages are taxed heavily, the wealth of the top 1% is not. It's unfair.

Probably not too surprising if you consider that the Greens members voted her into the number 2 position on the senate ticket at the last two federal elections (i.e. the membership must think she'd make a good senator).

REPORT: Gas export revenue could more than double to $107 billion this year, Green Institute study finds - The Green Institute A report by the Green Institute has found that gas corporations could make between $78 billion and $107 billion exporting Australian gas this calendar year, as a result of the price surges caused by t...

BREAKING Green Institute report calls for a 50% tax on gas export revenue, after our analysis finds gas corporations stand to double revenue up to $107 billion this year.

A 50% gas tax would raise $55 billion in 2026/27 - enough to give every household in Aus $5000.

So why 50%?

Breaking: Vanessa Bleyer to replace Peter Whish-Wilson in Senate Tasmanian lawyer Vanessa Bleyer has been elected to replace outgoing Australian Greens senator for Tasmania, Peter Whish-Wilson.

Tasmanian lawyer Vanessa Bleyer has been elected to replace outgoing Australian Greens senator for Tasmania, Peter Whish-Wilson.

Tasmanian Greens members have voted for environmental lawyer Vanessa Bleyer to replace Peter Whish-Wilson in the Senate

Whish-Wilson, who is retiring, says he “couldn’t be more thrilled that the membership has chosen her”

A warm welcome to Vanessa Bleyer who has been elected by Tasmanian Greens members as our newest Senator for lutruwita/Tasmania.

Vanessa will join our team later this year when Senator Peter Whish-Wilson steps down after more than a decade in parliament.

You could argue that the Labor candidate would be the Libs preferred winner (with Harriss not far behind).

Study finds decades of 'intensive' logging worsens bushfire risk Scientists have studied satellite images of a Tasmanian bushfire and found regrowth from extensive logging and recent bushfires has "absolutely" increased the risk of more severe bushfires.

The cover for the reel in the link. Shows Katherine Copsey MP standing at a pedestrian crossing, as a Metro train goes by behind her. Text reads "Reducing dependence on petrol & diesel"

Free PT is already helping a lot of people avoid spiking petrol prices - but with a lack of services in some areas & issues with overcrowding, the govt urgently needs to increase services.

In the medium term, the govt also needs a plan to electrify V/Line trains.
