Good morning to those football fans up early for @championsleague

Bayern v Celtic this morning for a place in the Round of 16.

Some of the issues for us to address in the 2024 Human Rights Watch report.

Don’t ask others to respect human rights, if we won’t.

Sad to hear about the passing of Stefan, a long time football lover and administrator.

It is clear from the response in the football community that he was very well respected.

Warmest regards to his family and rest well ❤️

BoM data finds 2024 was Australia’s second-hottest year on record Rise in greenhouse gases responsible for average temperatures rising to 1.46C above average, with one climate scientist saying this is ‘the norm now’

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... A bit concerning.

A good report on the global solar rush by ABC.

Prices coming down, trend going up.

Rest of the world cracking on, getting ahead of the transition.

Australia stalled.

The 15th consecutive sell-out for the Matildas

The 16th coming up on the Gold Coast.

Phenomenal 👏

Much better 2nd half

But Brazil too good tonight. Physically strong, lightning counter attacks.

Ellie excellent, what an athlete and competitor. Sharn superb when she came on. Kyra always good.

Plastics lobbyists make up biggest group at vital UN treaty talks Fossil fuel and chemical industry representatives outnumber those of the EU or host country South Korea

‘Plastics lobbyists.’

What a way to spend your, and our, life.

‘Record numbers of plastic industry lobbyists are attending global talks that are the last chance to hammer out a treaty to cut plastic pollution around the world.’

Good news.

No one should be immune from international law and the Rohingya deserve justice after decades of atrocities and displacement.

Refugees and asylum seekers have basic rights.

That the world agreed to grant them.

Including Australia.

They should never be an easy political target, bashed around at every election.

Let us respect and uphold our international obligations.

All parties to the Rome Statute, International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Court of Justice (ICJ), including Australia, must abide by these rulings and reinforce the importance of a world where all people can be justifiably confident in the equal application of international law.

Love is love.

The world needs far more of it.

There’s been a staggering amount of invective, particularly on social media, about two athletes in love, Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis announcing the greatest news of their young lives.

Sam had to turn off comments

All my love & support to them both 💚💛

Amazing performance by Australia’s @paramatildas in the World Cup Final to come from 2 goals down to beat the USA 6-2!

These amazing women have become Australian football’s first World Champions 👏👏👏

Very proud of them as they secure a very special place in the history of the Australian game 💚💛 ⚽️

Saudi Arabia’s World Cup: how close could Fifa get to corporate manslaughter? In a country where thousands of migrant workers have died since 2016 a huge building project lies ahead. December’s coronation will stand as surely the most wretched, bloody, damaging act in the histo...

How close could FIFA get to corporate manslaughter?

Good question.
