"Federal and state housing ministers have described the death of a young homeless man in Sydney’s Hyde Park as 'beyond tragic' and say it reinforces the need to stop vulnerable rough sleepers from falling through the cracks."
Hypocrisy from ministers responsible for cracks. #homelessness #auspol
As always: a thread on highlights from @ember-energy.org Nerd Easter global power sector data review!
With lots of good news, some noticeable kinda bad news, and a few things I think are missing from the picture. TY to Ember, this is such a valuable piece of work
In a nutshell. 😊
4 So the Qld law invites the courts to use the reasonable person test to assume there'll ALWAYS be an over sensitive snowflake who will take offence or as we know so well, any and all Zionists who WILL take any legitimate criticism of Israel and especially those slogans as offensive & anti-semitic.
NSW case, why Qld law is likely doomed
"The justices (SCCA) wrote that the notion that the community can & should be protected from political expression by others because it might be “upsetting, inflammatory and divisive” wasn’t legitimate under the constitution"

Speaking on Sunday morning, the state’s premier, David Crisafulli, denied that his government was cracking down on free speech, insisting his new laws were about “striking a balance”. The premier claimed the proscribed phrases amounted to a call for the genocide of Jewish people. “No one is suggesting that people can’t strongly speak about what’s happening in Gaza, of course they can – and they can absolutely talk about freedom for Palestine,” he said. But the premier said “hate” could not be let go unchecked – drawing a direct link between it and the terror attack at Bondi. “But because we didn’t call it out in the past, that led to people being mowed down doing the most Australian thing you can: being on a beach,” he said. The face of the former Queensland premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen, infamous for his corruption and repression of freedom of assembly, appeared on one sign, while the blond mullet of John Farnham adorned another.
Here comes the "but".
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli blames the phrases he banned for the terrorism at Bondi. "No one is suggesting that people can’t strongly speak about what’s happening in Gaza, of course they can – and they can absolutely talk about freedom for Palestine but..." #qldpol
In 2003, before he held any significant office, Minns was selected for the AIJAC Rambam Israel Fellowship – an all-expenses-paid program with one purpose: take promising Australian political figures to Israel, immerse them, and bind them. michaelwest.com.au/groomed-capt....
6 In summary Crisafulli's law is designed to give Zionists the ability in law to stifle Australians protesting against Israels genocidal conduct, to punish our dissent.
It is law which may as well have been designed by Zionists who have NOBBLED our disgusting gutless politicians state & federal-end
Gas is climate poison. Any financial return isn't near worth the climate damage mining it causes. So many of you are blind to this because you're wearing money goggles. If you took them off you might notice the mass mortality of marine animals around our coasts because the sea is too hot.

Important journalism from Drop Site, at a time when most US media are taking at face value the Trump regime's lies about "narco-terrorists".
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
And again. Surely the Queensland media can see Premier David Crisafulli's slogans aren't deterring youth crime? Why aren't they challenging him on the issue like they did to Qld premiers past? What's going on? #qldpol
Age headline on opinion piece: 'Love her or hate her, Melbourne in needs outspoken icons like Bec Judd' by Stephen Brook. The first par tells us that opinions vary about this woman and the second paragraph tells us she wore a red dress to the Brownlow Medal count in 2004. The rest of the article is similarly insightful.
Breathtaking bollocky bilge in The Age. 'Love it or hate it' is the first refuge of a dull headline writer to sit atop a collection of commentator-extruded paragraphs unburdened by insight.

Just a reminder that Angus Taylor slipped the term “genocidal protesters” into his anti-immigration racist rant last week.
Does anyone here know anyone who is protesting FOR genocide?
Is the success in the room with us now?
Single panel editorial cartoon. Treasurer Chalmers is explaining the funding for aged care in the home in simple terms while behind him a clapped-out old robot nods along. In the voice box is pictographs - old person in front of computer that has ‘no’ on the screen - old person now bent and on walking frame while computer screen says ‘still no’ - old person now bed-ridden, screen has spinning wheel (timer) on it - coffin in front of computer with spinning wheel of death still on screen, final pic is of only the computer as it makes a ‘ding’ noise and there is a tick on the screen.
