I really wish more people would read this.
Australia's unemployment benefits are the lowest in the OECD.
The government claims that this is to encourage people to get a job and lowers unemployment.
Studies have shown that this is bullshit (quelle surprise)

Australian Census on University Staff Wellbeing results are out. Every uni recorded scores indicating high/very high psych risk.
And in news surprising no one, "only senior execs and deans rated their workplaces as medium or low risk while all other staff groups reported high-risk conditions."

One thing that astonishes me about the Herzog visit is that Israel has murdered more journalists than any other state in the 21st century, and he hasn’t faced a single question about this (to my knowledge) from the Australian media

They walk among us but even more alarming they are elected into our parliaments. Women are perfectly capable of knowing whether they are in a position to rear a child or not. Not you. Not me. It's not anyone else's business. Masculinist power & control agitators can put a condom on it if concerned.

So did we care about the "critically endangered native grasslands", at all, or just about the quick-fix political story at the time? Maybe best don't answer that.
Was that land ever rehabilitated (haha), as ordered? Did anyone check? Why not?

I am deeply concerned about the potential impact of NSW Police actions on vulnerable youth. Images that show Muslims in peaceful prayer being pulled and thrown without warning can be leveraged to radicalise and recruit disaffected young people. This is extremely dangerous and counterproductive.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog isn’t welcome in Australia. The Greens stand with those peacefully protesting as we demand sanctions on Israel & an end to the two way arms trade. We join our voices with the millions who call for an end to genocide and justice for Palestine.
