I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

It has been six years since the Gender Autonomy Act was passed in Iceland. In those six years, none of the usual fears that anti-trans advocates warn against have manifested - and trans people, non-binary people and intersex people have enjoyed increased rights and protections.

Both NSW Police and the Minns Labor government deserve to be driven like a tent peg over this. It's just gross incompetence of the application of state violence on innocent civilians, from the legislation empowering it to the NSW Police never being put on a leash www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Beautiful presentation of a, frankly, terrifying bit of climate news.

In case you missed this: Japan buys cheap gas from Australia, sells for more and profits, lots.

You get nothing.

Both the old parties think this is fine.

In 2024, Japan onsold at least 600 petajoules (PJ) of Australian LNG to overseas markets. Japanese resales are likely driving more than A$1 billion in profits for Japanese companies, raising questions about Japan’s interests in Australia’s energy policies. ieefa.org/resources/ho...

Independent candidate Alex Dyson is leading senior Liberal incumbent Dan Tehan in the Victorian seat of Wannon

A new poll from YouGov – which looked at 12 regional seats between 17-24 April (6% MoE) – shows Dyson with 57% of the two-candidate-preferred vote to Tehan’s 43%

Whilst this is encouraging I really think we need to get those 33% for the two majors even lower!
