The ACTU is calling for a 25% tax on all gas exports and for the tens of billions it would raise to be invested in public housing…sounds good to me…what do you reckon we should spend all the money we’d get if we stopped giving our gas away for free? #climate

In these apocalyptic times, a little project I'm working on with 2 of my favourite people: @sonyasemmens.bsky.social & @lerns10.bsky.social makes it all seem a little bit better.
We ask, when the 1st City falls, what does the 2nd City look like?

Too many in media/politics frame Palestinian life only in the context of Israel & geopolitics. This not only dehumanises, it erases the richness, beauty, & diversity of Palestinian culture. This Israeli campaign of extermination is about more than the death of physical bodies.

The prerecorded interview by @instanterudite.bsky.social with @auspoldaily.bsky.social on today’s The #SundayShot is well worth a listen. It’s such a relief to hear women talk politics and polls and attitudes and campaigns. Highlight of the show today, no question.

“What’s transpired over the last three or four days just takes it to a whole new level of cruelty and inhumanity and, frankly, a whole new level of stupidity in doing this is the most non-strategic way.” Tens of thousands of people will die as a result of this action.

Imagine if all the ABC AM/FM broadcast towers were on foreign land. Or all the 7/9/10 TV transmitters were in international waters broadcasting into Australia.

@camwilson.bsky.social says it perfectly “You shouldn’t build your emergency broadcast systems in other people’s kingdoms.”

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
