Is Australia headed for a recession? I hope not - but the RBA should be more worried | Greg Jericho In backing down on his threats to destroy Iranian civilisation, Donald Trump has lessened concerns of a recession in Australia – at least for now

Recessions are horrendous things. The RBA should be more worried about it, and Bullock sure as hell should not be so blasé about suggesting they'll cause one if they have to

If you are reading this it is because I’m dead: here’s what I want to tell you about how to live | Carlos Hernández de Miguel Leaving this world in an age of lies and cruelty, my last message is simple: don’t give up on truth, says Spanish journalist Carlos Hernández de Miguel

'What I do know is that I will leave this world without understanding why the international community chose to remain impassive while Israel perpetrated a genocide right before its eyes, broadcast live, minute by minute, massacre by massacre.'

Anyone with a heart and soul should agree that children and babies do not belong behind bars. Thousands of kids will carry a lifetime of trauma and PTSD, done in our name, funded by our tax dollars.

Fuck Labor and fuck their allies in Israel and fuck this genocidal murderer Herzog #auspol

When I was a medical student 45 years ago, I clerked in a 13 year old girl with deep jaundice and an abdominal mass. She was Hepatitis B positive. That had led to a primary liver tumour. In a 13-year-old. She was dead within the month. Avoidable with vaccination.

I Will warn you everyday about MAGA 2.0 Coming to Australia. Resist Now.

I expect we will find treatments for long COVID. I expect they will cost money. Some might even cost a lot of money.

So it’s our duty not to make ourselves sick so that people that are sick can have their treatment funded… and anyone that doesn’t need treatment can do something else with the cash.

Netanyahu approves of the mass murder of children. He is evil incarnate.

Petition: Launch a parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS

The AUKUS deal will cost taxpayers at least $368bn to build nuclear submarines for the U.S. with zero guarantee of a single submarine for Australia. Join me in signing the @australiainstitute.org.au petition demanding more scrutiny nb.australiainstitute.org.au/aukus_parlia...

I may be entirely mistaken but it seems likely a lot of people are being wrongly led to believe a person is linked to terrorism, or has approved of terrorism, or was intending to use 'hateful rhetoric', and a competent defamation lawyer might like to take this one for a light gallop.

I'm not a lawyer, but can an expert shed some light on Premier Malinauskas comments about
Randa Abdel Fattah in the video below? Seem defamatory.
For all the talk about combating hate speech ... these remarks sound hateful, grossly offensive and damaging .

The phrase “no indication of increased severity” should not lull you into some kind of complacency

Influenza has always been a serious illness with significant risk of morbidity and mortality

And at this time of year the protection of winter vaccine dose has waned for those had it

It's not "super flu". It's that flu isn't "just a flu". People really need to understand about lineage diversity, mechanisms of evolutionary change, and shifting fitness landscapes for the virus. The idea of immunity theft from COVID should be taken seriously also.

School attendance crisis as 70,000 Scottish pupils miss half of school More than 70,000 Scottish pupils missed at least half of school over six years, with over 6,000 not attending at all, according to new FOI figures.

6 years, still no clean air in schools. There has been a huge increase in sickness absence since 2019 due to COVID. Policy isn’t keeping pace with the science. Ignoring #Longcovidkids is part of the problem.

U.S. overhauls childhood vaccine schedule, recommends fewer shots The U.S. no longer broadly recommends vaccines for flu, hepatitis A and B, and RSV. Health officials say the guidance aligns with that of peer countries.

This is a five alarm fire. If you dont think this impacts you, think again. Public health is in grave danger www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

US revises childhood vaccine schedule to recommend fewer shots The move advances one of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s long-term goals.

Absolutely ill about this even though we knew it was coming. Zero expert input, no meetings, just a fiat and poof, done.

New anti-protest laws in NSW are used against anti-war protesters opposing Trump’s new war — on the grounds that protesting causes “fear and divisiveness”.

This is beyond ridiculous.

'Lions of Zion' group event celebrating Israel's pager attacks condemned Victoria Police has said it will continue to monitor the event billed as "fun for all ages".

From SBS. A family-themed event being organised by a Zionist Jewish group in Melbourne has been labelled "disgraceful" for "celebrating" Israel's pager attacks in Lebanon last year, which killed dozens of people and injured thousands, including civilians.

Sussan trying to win back the right wing nutters and cookers. It's a political battle to the death between the LNP and One Nation. AND with the Nats upset with any gun control, doomed to always be x a fringe party. Soon country voters will wake up to the Nats and their fossil fuel sponsors. #auspol

Politicians & journalists all lining up to kiss Zio arse while completely and utterly ignoring the genocide is sickening.

If we don’t kick all these politicians to the curb we will be at the level of occupation the USA is currently at - completely owned by Israel.

Rabbi Eli Schlanger celebrates Israel's Gaza Genocide.

Rabbi Eli Schlanger is STILL being praised on the ABC News website. This Zionist hate preacher openly celebrated Israel's #GazaGenocide, raised funds for illegal Israeli settlements in the #WestBank AND called for the ethnic cleansing of "Arabs" from Palestine bc "it's our land, it belongs to us." 😲
