True LABOUR trade unionist & environmental activist Jack Mundey would be turning in his grave! www.thenewdaily.com.au/podcast/2025...

So what happened to the 'no new extinctions' pledge? And what will be consequences for those who made it? Do I have to keep paying my taxes to a government that constantly fails to do its job?

There’s no virtue in violence, no decency in cruelty, no morality in murder, no honour in rationalising ignominious acts, no veneration in twisting reality to justify foul deeds & no humanity in egregious brutality. There is only base, callous iniquity

We are #OneBillionScreams

A still conscious, week old male calf on the kill table in an Australian slaughterhouse is being gripped around the back of his head by the gloved hand of a worker who is about to slash his infant throat. The table is spattered with blood and the floor below is a pool of blood.
