“I'd like to be remembered as someone who really helped people to have a little humility and realize that we are part of the animal kingdom, not separated from it.”

The former Polish immigrant to Israel Netanyahu, has done much more damage to that nation than Hamas could ever do. He and his political coterie, because of their genocidal assault on Palestine, has transformed Israel into a pariah state.

The war in Gaza has killed 186 journalists as of Aug 11, 2025. This is the highest number ever recorded in any war. 🚨

It is more than the total journalists killed in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, the Yugoslav Wars, and Afghanistan combined. ⚖️📸💔

Given the contempt the U.S. has consistently demonstrated towards the U.N. in recent decades, and its agencies (eg. the I.C.C.), there is surely a strong case for this important international organisation to be moved from New York to a nation that respects the U.N. and what it seeks to do.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.

This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

A stark contrast between Trump’s ‘ invasion’ of California in response to peaceful protests these last few days and what happened on 6 Jan 2021 when his ‘ think a likes’ stormed the Washington Capitol building and lives were lost, many injuries and politicians lives threatened
Trump did nothing !

As Murray Watt signs the death warrant for an ancient treasure, we've launched a new documentary.

The Fight to Save Murujuga lays out the ironclad evidence that the government has ignored in granting one of Australia’s biggest polluters, Woodside Energy, a licence to destroy Murujuga. #savemurujuga

Yes, Dutton has made it very clear that his policies on the run are not just opaque but also socially and economically regressive.

Amazing how you can just say you are going to sack 60% of the ACT based head count of the Commonwealth Public Service like you are announcing funding for new practice nets for the Warrandyte Cricket Club.

Dutton saying his 41k public sector jobs will be entirely in Canberra is indisputable proof he’s making it up as he goes along

There are only 70k APS jobs in Canberra. Government would be unable to function w/ such big cuts unless you’re outsourcing to contractors & consultants

Colour me shocked that Ol' Dutts & Pup Paterson will roll out the red carpet for the disgraced Mike Pezzullo who - let's recall - was sacked after an independent inquiry made scathing findings against him that he'd misused his position & breached the Public Service Code of Conduct at least 14 times.

This is vile treatment of human beings, & a human rights abuse. Looks like the U.S. is channeling its appalling slavery era, augmenting it with the worst treatment it inflicts on those in prisons.
Trump has flushed out the very worst of American culture while also endorsing Zetanyahu Gaza carnage

Peter Dutton says he will never stand in front of the Aboriginal flag as Prime Minister. I think we should vote to ensure he's right. 😏 #auspol #AusVotes25
