The mood in Sydney today. Crashing thunder, hail more than rain and collapsed trees but these things do not deter XR, Drum Rebellion, Knitting Nannas and Bob Brown Foundation. They added to the “wind” near NSW Parliament House today.

Our inquiry is in response to the CSIRO's decision to cut 350 jobs, which equates to 6% of its total workforce. The latest round of cuts follows the slashing of 800 positions in the past 18 months.

I rather thought that that was last year, but if the option is still there ....
"Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them."
This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

In the face of a worsening climate crisis, the work of CSIRO is vital to Australians and our future generations. We should be strengthening our research capacity, not running it into the ground. We must do all we can to save the CSIRO. That’s why we’ve secured a Senate inquiry.

Penny Wong calls out Pauline Hanson’s “immature & shameless” stunt saying she’s “mocked an entire faith” & defied the Senate by refusing to remove herself. Gives her a final opportunity to apologise before #Senate moves a censure motion.

Police didn’t arrest any activists in Northern Ireland protesting the proscription of Palestine Action at the weekend, in stark contrast to in other parts of the UK. Why? Ellen McVeigh reports.
