Article on public money given to private schools. "Yes, debt needs to be reduced. If you want to talk about reduced government spending, the $12 billion a year going to well-off people sending their kids to private schools would be a good start."

Private Schools Blowing Budget | Crispin Hull
(The Examiner, 22 April 2026)

"Money is being wasted on schools that already have a good educational outcomes ... at the cost of public schools with poor outcomes."

Can we finally agree that burning wood for energy is a terrible idea and won't be carbon neutral, let alone carbon negative, in our lifetimes? BECCS using wood certainly shouldn't qualify as CO₂ removal (CDR).

This morning Israel attacked a refugee camp in Gaza, murdering one person. Over the weekend they murdered at least 4 others.

Does that sound like they've ceased fire to you?

Adam Bandt and Max Chandler-Mather together destroyed the @greens.org.au - their inner city focus and NIMBYism failed to see the needs of the communities.
They do have some intelligent hard working members but they need a strong articulate leader. #auspol

Successive governments have failed to learn lessons of Grenfell Tragedy The conditions that facilitated the tragedy remain unchecked

Corporate capture of the state.

The Post Office with help from Fujitsu, accountants, lawyers illegally convicted postmasters for fraud.

£1.5bn+ compensation paid from public purse. Perpetrators paid ZERO.

No one charged/prosecuted for lying in courts. Fujitsu gets govt contracts.

Who governs?

This article is so true!
When politicians of most stripes (with a few notable exceptions) live lives that are comfortable/free of weekly existential crises - they’re out of touch/uninvested in the problems that most ordinary ppl face.
The indifference demonstrated by most politicians is deafening.

Israel doesn’t really do “ceasefires”.

Pezeshkian affirmed that Iran "does not seek to expand the war," stressing that the country "did not initiate any conflict and will not do so."

LOL. Bluesky rule #17: *No matter what* you write, someone will be along in the comments to "Well, actually..." and rationalize. No matter what.

Can the United States Be Trusted? History Says No! No matter how much Teflon Trump seeks to let nothing stick, it is now quite clear that the United States has suffered an ignoble defeat in Iran. His promise of an “unconditional surrender” is more …

‘Most heinous but most ignored by the media is Trump’s endless war crimes in Somalia. Last year His African Command bombed pitifully poor, remote Somalia 124 times, likely killing 1000s of imagined bad guys. Just last week Trump bombed Somalia 4 times in 2 days, raising the 2026 total to 49 attacks’

Palestinian villager, Akram Abu Ali, who lives in the occupied West Bank witnessed Israeli settlers shoot and kill a boy who was trying to save his friend from being beaten.
