So as everyone kind of knew, when Chris Minns talked about cracking down on protests and gatherings, he really meant specifically pro-Palestine and anti-mass-murder protests: racist, white nationalist protests (probably attended by neo-nazi anti-semites) are completely fucking fine

If a suburban man in Sydney can have more than 6 guns at his home (including semi automatic weapons?) then our smug 'we're not like America' assumption is useless. The vast majority of Australians want all politicians to fix this. Now. The gun lobby/party must have no power or say in it. #gunlaws.
This incident has nothing to do with farmers
The man was not a farmer. He had a category B gun licence and 6 registered firearms - and he was living in the suburbs of Sydney.
Why? How?

Basically, the Australian political class as a whole is aligned on one central belief - that poor people should be subject to worse laws and treatment than rich people. That’s Centrelink, robodebt, mutual obligations, ndis, all of it.
A lot of very talented lawyers and legal academics/analysts are easily absorbed trying to understand 'mutual obligations' on its own terms. But the aim is, as in Robodebt, simply to construct a vaguely-deniable parallel rule of law for recipients.

The fact that not only is the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is still increasing, but the *rate of CO2 increasing* in the atmosphere is still increasing is true nightmare stuff.
“[Last year] CO2 in the global surface atmosphere increased by 3.5 ppm, the largest one-year increase since modern measurements began... This increase was driven by continued fossil CO2 emissions, enhanced fire emissions and reduced terrestrial/ocean sinks… which could signal a climate feedback.”
