Large SUVs and utes are 82% more likely to kill children in collisions- 44% more likely to kill adult pedestrians or cyclists. They damage our roads and add to air pollution, harming our health.
Pedestrian fatalities reach 17-year-high. This trend could be why
Fifty-one pedestrians had been killed on the state’s roads this year as of Saturday – the most in any calendar year since 2008.

I fully support this statement released by the Palestine Action Group, in response to the murder of innocent Jewish people celebrating Hanukkah at Bondi Beach on Sunday. I am also deeply disturbed by the comments made by the Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal. #auspol #BondiBeachShooting

No, claims of a rise of conservatism among young men (compared with women) don’t ring true. New research shows youth gender gap is something we’ve seen across time.

Labor's election commitment on housing is already crumbling. Core issue here is who buys homes - Greens want to provide housing for those who need it, not wealthy property investors. That won't happen til' we fix the unfair tax concessions that put first homes out of reach of everyday Australians.

Who — or what — really runs Sydney? A vast colossus of gambling, hospitality, media and sport. And it's rotten to the core, writes Bernard Keane.

Sydneysiders should stop pretending they live in a serious city. It's run by the entertainment-gambling industrial complex, and it stinks.

University policy has been broken for 40 years. ‘Our policymakers must be brave enough to argue that education is unequivocally and intrinsically a public good, vital to the interests of the nation, and therefore worth funding properly.’ www.afr.com/policy/healt...
Universities aren’t pizza joints; stop treating them that way
Policymakers must set aside the fiction that universities are just another industry that can generate its own funding and that academics can be turned into entrepreneurs.

Hope so Zoe. Because of you and the Independents movement - many LNP "reps" are going to have to think about what their electorate wants more than their donors.
May be a very novel experience.

First Germany said NO to fascism and Trumpism.
Then Canada said NO to fascism and Trumpism.
And now Australia has said NO to fascism and Trumpism.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.
