Climate change is pushing even common birds towards extinction For this week’s #FloraAndFaunaFriday, I want to talk about one of Australia’s most beloved little birds: the superb fairy-wren. It’s bright, busy, cheeky, beautiful - and still common enough that most...

If climate change can push the superb fairy-wren towards extinction, no “common” species can be assumed safe.💔😪😔

Oh wow!!

It’s time to axe the Morrison-era policy strangling Australia’s humanities degrees 'Unless we have lawyers from all class backgrounds, we will have a legal system that is shaped by a particular narrow set of perspectives and assumptions and blind spots.'

“Several times I have decided not to take a subject that would enhance my knowledge, skills and education because it is too expensive,” one student tells Crikey. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/16/s...

Oscar Winner Javier Bardem Stands Firm on Palestine: “It’s That Easy”

“I will not work with anyone supporting Israel’s Genocide in Gaza... Me not getting a job is irrelevant to what's going on there. It’s that easy.”

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

JOURNALIST: Sussan, are you open to tougher gun control laws, if it emerges there are vulnerabilities in the existing system? LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION: There are families waiting by the bedsides of their loved ones across hospitals in Sydney today. And my heart breaks for all of them. And with that in mind, this is not a subject I'm going to discuss today.

KIERAN GILBERT: The New South Wales Premier's talking about gun law reform. In the wake of Port Arthur, that we know and and our viewers will recall the leadership shown by John Howard in terms of that gun crackdown. Do you want to see something similar? There are many people asking why would that terrorist have six guns licenced to him, being the father who was shot dead. LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION: These are valid questions and the New South Wales Government will obviously make its statements in due course. But because today is the day when people are in hospital beds and their families are by their sides, it's not a discussion that I will engage in.

Well done! A Massachusetts church displayed an “ICE was here” sign in its Nativity scene.

Got a text from my supervisor that said, "Your thesis is bloody brilliant!" I am genuinely gobsmacked! It's only Honours level but I am so proud of myself.

"Dead Man Walking": IPA's climate obstruction on full display at Senate misinformation inquiry

🧵 Must read. #AtlasNetwork partners were boasting in an Australian parliamentary hearing & emails about their destruction of climate action in Australia. They claimed it. They were triumphant, arrogant about the law not forcing them to reveal donors. #auspol

Israel has launched a multi-million-dollar public relations campaign to recover support from conservative Christian base in the US, which has sharply declined amid the Gaza genocide.

Business and farmers, incl. the Australian Farmers Federation, support #climate action, #NetZero and #renewables. Why does the mainstream news media rarely report their views yet rptedly airs the spin of the fossil fuels industry (via their spruikers like Barnaby Joyce and Matt Canavan)? #auspol

Australia stands still to remember those who fought for their country

📢 Thousands of people across Australia have gathered to share a minute's silence at Remembrance Day services across the country. Today marks 107 years since the Armistice was signed to end World War One, which resulted in the deaths of 60,000 Australians.

Native logging undermines Australia's climate goals

📢 Australia is one of the worst offenders globally for deforestation, turning forests from carbon sinks to carbon emitters. There are calls to end native logging, but the federal government has indicated it will not end the practice.
