WorkSafe board no longer has any worker representative - CTU

Removing the voice of the worker from the actual governance of WorkSafe is "deeply concerning", says the CTU.

The Australia Institute proudly co-hosted a climate summit yesterday, attended by people from all over Australia.

And although there were lots of different views, everyone agreed on one thing: it's time to stop the expansion of fossil fuels.

Today is Rā Maumahara, the national day of commemoration for the New Zealand Wars and anniversary of the signing of He Whakaputanga.
Act marked the occasion by sending out an email with the subject line "Aotearoa Histories Curriculum is History".
Can we expect "Poppies banned!" for ANZAC day? 🤦‍♀️

If you want to understand how truly ignorant and absent the British media is on Russian interference, read on.

A Kremlin spy scandal, a trove of bikini shots....and still nothing but tumbleweed.

Sign this petition about the Regulatory Standards Bill, please

petitions.parliament.nz/212f27b2-98f...

Petition request
That the House of Representatives urge the Government to withdraw the Regulatory
Standards Bill from the legislative programme.
Petition reason
I am petitioning the House because nearly every submission on the Regulatory Standards Bill opposed it, yet the Government plans to pass it anyway. I believe this shows disregard for public participation and democratic integrity. I think the Government is ignoring the 98.7 percent of submitters who oppose the bill and cannot be trusted to listen. I feel that Parliament must act to restore public trust by urging the Government to withdraw this Bill.

Real sad to see the Duncan Webb is leaving parliment at the end of this term. We seriously need talented MPs, and he's one of the handful there

Oxfam blamed tax havens in a 2016 report for the widening gap between rich and poor. "Tax havens are at the core of a global system that allows large corporations and wealthy individuals to avoid paying their fair share, depriving governments of resources they need to provide vital public services".

Spectacular(ly scary) article.

I discovered @sarahkendzior.bsky.social in 2015 & a decade later she's still my go-to on all-things autocracy.

Follow her. You won't regret it, I promise

In 2005, I wrote an article called "Inventing Akromiya" about how the government of Uzbekistan made up a group called Akromiya to justify a massacre of civilian protesters.

Twenty years later, the US is more like Uzbekistan, and I wrote "Inventing Antifa": sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...

Inventing Antifa

In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

Inpex has been under-reporting cancer-causing emissions from its Icthys LNG plant in Darwin, as reported this week in The Australian.

The people of Darwin deserve answers, and real action to protect their health.

"The minimum criteria for stagflation are high inflation, slow or negative economic growth (stagnant or declining output), and high unemployment.

This is difficult to manage because policies that combat one problem often worsen the others."
