Giving Jillian Segal even more influence over Australian policy when she still hasn't denounced far-right group "Advance" (which she bankrolls) is extremely poor governing.

Australia deserves far better.

NSW to effectively ban protests for up to three months as premier links Gaza rallies to Bondi terror attack Chris Minns says state ‘can’t risk another mass demonstration on that scale in NSW [because] the implications can be seen, in my view, on Sunday’

Linking the march across the bridge to the massacre is disgusting and everyone doing so should be deeply ashamed of their giving tacit support for genocide

Weaponising the Bondi tragedy is a betrayal of all our children - The Shot Breathe, slowly. It helps.  Cry if you need to. All of this hurts. But please understand, before we go any...

Here's me. "Weaponising the Bondi tragedy is a betrayal of all our children"

If you earned more than $156,000 you earned more than 90% of Australians, and if you earned $176,930 you earned more than 90% of Australians working full-time: [Graph showing the 25th earning percentile is $46,800, median is $74,100, 75th is $110,604 and 90th is $156,000] It’s worth noting that the current full-time minimum wage of $49,296 puts you in the bottom 10% of full-time earners, and the jobseeker rate, which is equivalent to annual earnings of $20,634, has you well in the bottom 10% of all earnings. So, let’s dispense with the bullshit that such amounts in any way discourage people from wanting to work or are too high to run a business.

New figures out show where you are on the income-earning scale

It’s why we ask you to click “weekly.” This is the only help coming in but it is not enough. It’s 55% of the minimum. So either we make up the other half in new donations, or we get weekly pledges up to 100%.

I'm excited to announce this new study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, which explores public support for degrowth and ecosocialist transformation. The findings are quite surprising.

Saving lives on the frontline in Palestine - help Maha My name is Louisa and I'm raising money for my dear friend Maha and her family in Gaza.

13 HOURS LEFT to keep a single mother & her two kids housed—where being unhoused in this deadly cold, rain, flash-floods is a health disaster and deadly.

So I’m asking you to match the cost of (1) thing you’ve paid to celebrate this genocidal Thursday to help them survive this genocide.

Where's Jillian Segal? Over $1,000-a-day but MIA - The Klaxon Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal — whose family bankrolls far-right group “Advance” — is refusing to denounce the neo-Nazi rally held outside NSW Parliament House.

, yet Genevieve Bell will be getting over *double* that, plus a $400k golden handshake for VC, PLUS $200k in research funds.

Yet apparently ANU is in a budget crisis?

Absolute rot in uni governance

Where is #ANU Council accountability for this golden handshake?

The ARC will soon be overhauling its entire grants system. They've never undertaken such a huge set of changes. Doing it while sacking existing staff and restructuring … I just … 🤯😡

So Labor and the Liberals teamed up to pass legislation to give police the power to recommend cancellation of Centrelink payments of people who have not been found guilty of a crime by a court of law. It’s discriminatory financial punishment of people in poverty who are already over-policed

The Albanese Government is about to rush through a bill which, Australia Institute research shows, would fast-track 94 new fossil fuel projects.

This will undermine environmental protections and lock in emissions for decades.

Scientists: have you been the target of an online harassment campaign, doxxing, or weaponized FOIA requests? I'd like to talk to you about steps you had to take to protect your digital security for an upcoming Nature story. (You can be anonymous if necessary.)

Fab talk from @megcevans.bsky.social about government trying to use capitalism (for profit model) to attempt to solve problems created by capitalism (environmental damage and biodiversity loss).
But $2bn to solve biodiversity crisis isn't much compared to many other publicly funded things.

The Government is trying to push through changes that will weaken our environment laws.

This is the same Government that changed environment laws to protect the toxic salmon industry, and continues to approve fossil fuels for decades to come.
