UN resolution falls short on peace for #Palestine: "...Since the truce came into force, at least 340 Palestinians and three Israeli soldiers have been killed, which can hardly suggest that #Gaza is more secure"

Incredible the entire press gallery is actually buying the line (promulgated by Netanyahu!) that Albanese is personally to blame for the Bondi attack.
No one is actually explaining how firing academics for opposing Israel’s genocide would stop two people who never went to uni from this shooting.

A recent UN report found that the unsustainable production of food and fossil fuels amounts to a whopping $5 BILLION of environmental damage PER HOUR. 💸
This is the glaring truth that #BigOil doesn’t want you to know: the cost of doing nothing is much higher than the cost of taking climate action.
