I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

By their actions @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social & the Labor govt is fast becoming a govt. that by their obsequiousness to both the US & the Zionist lobby will be lucky to be returned for a 3rd term let alone a 4th as some pundits stated after May rout of the LNP. #auspol #Gaza

Dear @senatorwong.bsky.social
Trump's US Govt funding of Israel's brutal occupation and ongoing genocide hardly qualifies him for receiving the #NobelPeacePrize. The Australian Labor Govt have zero principles, decency, humanity or credibility with obscene comments like this. 😠 #auspol #GazaGenocide

I get it
Like all change, discomfort with what is must exceed the cost of the new end state for action to occur
Until I have a lazy 5K, run the exhaust fan and mostly use the air fryer and oven
Once done and the hws system is upgraded, there's another $5k, we can get rid of the supply charge

Massive Brown Seweed Belt Spreading Through Atlantic Ocean Is Visible from Space

The Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt is a shockingly large mass of brown algae almost double the width of the American continent, and clearly visible from space.

As Anti-Poverty weeks begin in Australia, for those affected by it, it’s a long journey of loss.

Loss of security, home, safety, health and dignity.

The #masks many must wear may fool you. #StructuralInequality and #homelessness is unacceptable. #auspol 😔 🏠

Behind the mask, I am the hidden face of poverty in WA

Increasingly in WA, poverty looks like me: a 67-year-old grandmother who once ran a thriving business, owned a home, and raised two sons surrounded by love and opportunity.

How long before underwater-capable Drones make $368 manned vessels unviable? #DumpAUKUS now!

It’s time for Australia to reassess its AUKUS nuclear subs deal. So many eggs in one basket of never-never coming secondhand subs was always a dumb, dud deal. It’s al the more-so now.

Dump AUKUS. Become a smarter, kinder, more independent nation free of hegemonic Uncle Sam.

We must learn from Ukraine. Ukraine air defences take down 80% of targets.

Ukrainian drones stopped Russian advance on land and in the Black Sea, and devastated the Russian strategic bomber fleet. Ukraine shows besides tech we need integrated command & a new warfare ecosystem.

It’s one thing to successfully submerge - fill my pockets with enough stones, and even I could do that. The test is surely whether or not she successfully resurfaced!

Australian researchers have have created a system to assess impacts of #ClimateChange. For eg, they've linked a single fossil fuel project to climate impacts, modelling that Woodside's Scarborough project will cause 484 heat-related deaths in Europe.

Scientists calculate the cost on climate and human lives of gas project emissions

Fossil fuel companies and governments have argued it’s not possible to link climate impacts to specific projects, but Australian researchers have done the numbers.
