Yes, it has been very glitchy.

The Attorney General should intervene. This is not in Australia's interests if they have done nothing wrong under our laws.

You had me at 50c beers

Congratulations to all involved!

Being "deeply concerned" about the massacre in Lebanon doesn't cut it. Sanctioning Israel is what we should be doing. Is the Albanese government waiting for permission from someone?

Australia could take the lead here and, given our close relationship to the US, the world would listen. Starting with shutting our airspace to the US military, removing troops embedded in the US military and stopping US bases here being part of war crimes.

Australia must be on the other side of the disk. Makes sense.

Some lessons from the UK Greens - let the membership elect their leader, which creates its own media and the best communicators rise to the top. They don't have to be in parliament, either, which means they have more time for media appearences.

Really appreciated meeting Meryl Swanson MP today to discuss how Australian Biophysics research at ANSTO can help with her electorate's PFAS contamination problem.

Two protesters charged on first day of Queensland’s ‘from the river to the sea’ ban Alleged offences occurred after pro-Palestinian activists gathered outside state parliament within hours of new laws taking effect

This could get more sinister (and sillier) than the UK government's attempts to proscribe Palestinian Action protestors as terrorists.
2+2=5.

The Foreign Minister has just claimed on #Insiders that our government is not in a position to determine the legality of the brutal attacks on Iran. The law is clear, Senator, it's ILLEGAL. Stop the bullshit, please.

Annabel Sutherland is Australia's best cricketer right now. Probably the best in the world. #AusInd

It's a good point you make. The Oz Greens do have a broad agenda and are seen to, too. Significant traction was made when an MP named Max Chandler-Mather strongly supported renters and young home buyers who can't compete in the market. Sadly, he lost his seat and voting support has declined since.

2/2 This enabled a very open contest, that in itself, gathered a lot of press and the most charismatic and effective communicator won. The impact has been huge. The Australian Green parties could look to emulate this. The leader shouldn't have to sit in parliament, either (Zack doesn't).

1/2 I've been pondering the lack of Australian Green party improvement in the polls compared to the England and Wales Greens. Zack Polanski was elected leader of their party by the membership, and not selected from some secretive party-room vote.

Labor had the nerve to table their Closing the Gap report in Parliament yesterday with the PM grinning in a glossy brochure, like a photo op could hide the fact that they are utterly failing First Nations people.

"We" here is your complicit, clearly compromised, Labor government.

I support international law, and these military actions by the USA and Israel are illegal.

Israel and the US have launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on a sovereign nation during ongoing diplomatic negotiations.

We should not allow the UK to be dragged into another American war.

We must do everything possible to stop this and uphold peace in the region.

Green party wins Gorton and Denton byelection, pushing Labour to third place in blow to Keir Starmer Hannah Spencer elected as party’s first MP in northern England, as Labour sees a 25.3% drop in vote compared to 2024

Hope is there.

Let's bring it here.

So politicians want school kiddies to be taught more ‘Australian values’?

Which ones are those? Alcoholism, toxic masculinity, colonialism, anti-science, anti-expert, ecocide, racism, genocide of First Nations peoples, banning public protest, profit at the expense of affordable homes?

Which ones?

Yet again - how many times can I say it - every day that goes by with Group Ticket Voting still on the books in Victoria and no clarity that is will be removed is a disgrace. archive.is/wDTJ2

But genocide enablers are welcome. Got it.

100%

They're welcome to come to the University I work at. I look forward to lecturing them on the importance of wearing full PPE when in the teaching labs.

It's Friday afternoon and another coal mine extension has been approved by the ALP.

Nature is incapable of compromise.

The (our) end.

Sad to hear of the passing of Bud Cort. His, and Ruth Gordon's, incredible performances in Harold and Maude have had a profound influence on me since childhood.

Peter Lalor, pepper-sprayed, debunks the Herzog propaganda - Michael West Sports journalist Peter Lalor was pepper-sprayed by NSW Police at the Herzog protest in Sydney. He debunks the propaganda.

"The Police chose violence". Veteran journo and sports broadcaster Peter Lalor was at the Sydney Herzog protest, got pepper sprayed. His account

Just so we’re clear:

Protesting a genocide and the invite of a man credibly accused of war crimes = unacceptable violence

Police beating and detaining said protestors = justified violence
