The 1985 Palm Sunday anti-nuclear rally in The Domain in Sydney of 1985 drew around 170,000 people in Sydney alone - widely recognized as the high-water mark for the anti-nuclear movement in Australia.

"Fair and balanced" panel for Monday night's #QandA panel: 4 conservatives, 1 Labor minister. Adding Hollie Hughes to Parnell Palme McGuinness & Joe Hildebrand make this a must-avoid program. Beyond insulting to viewers. 😠 #auspol #AusVotes25

#ABCnews reports ASIO says the government not to blame & the synagogue terrorist action should not be politicized, so the ABC invites James Paterson on to politicize the event.

Anyone who still holds to the quaint myth that Australia is the land of the 'fair go' need only look at school funding.

This is where #inequality is entrenched; economically and socially. #auspol
As you read this appalling data, please remember that every public school in Australia, bar a handful in ACT, is underfunded. Also remember that public schools educate the vast majority of our poorest & neediest kids, who are the most expensive to teach. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Twenty private schools with wealthiest parents received $130m total in Australian public funds in 2023
Data comes as education minister remains stalled in negotiations with states and territories over contributions to Schooling Resource Standard

Australia’s rich future can be built from our renewable energy transformation. Ross Garnaut’s Superpower Institute has identified export industries (iron, aluminium, hydrogen, urea, ammonia) which can exploit an abundance of the world’s cheapest renewables = a demonstrable comparative advantage.
