Is Australia really in a position to pass comment on farmers in other countries, considering who + how we grow food here?
How can we prevent poverty, instead of enabling it?

So glad @ourfairgo.bsky.social is being represented @nobodyinpoverty.bsky.social. Another case for #humanrights, because it's all encompassing:
#PeopleAgainstPoverty #disability
"distraction and deferment" #PeopleAgainstPoverty @antipovertycentre.org we know this all too well...
#PeopleAgainstPoverty summit. ✊🏽
Online to listen, RT and support. Feel free to DM me your goodness :)
There is no #climateaction without #humanrights.
Rights, not luxuries: everyone needs access to housing, food, clean water, education and healthcare.

At least, @kentduston.bsky.social there is not the expectation that an employee of a fossil fuel company is going to deliver "climate action". Whatever that is. Who knows? Australia doesn't.
Because since 1788, Australia has not and will not have #humanrights. #peopleagainstpoverty
