Today marks the 77th anniversary of the Nakba—the violent catastrophe that started the expulsion, dispossession, displacement and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people by Israel.
The Nakba is not a history lesson, the Nakba has not ended.

Was doing some research looking through old election campaign speeches, and if you really want proof that racism was a bedrock of the foundation of Australia, go have a gander at Alfred Deakin's 1903 speech

Even coal fired electricity retailers now admit they can’t use so called ‘offsets’ to pretend burning coal is ‘carbon neutral’….pity the Fed Government is still literally selling a ‘green tick of approval’ via its Climate Clive program to companies who want to make exactly those misleading claims
Energy Australia has been selling coal fired energy as "carbon neutral".
The offsets used have been shown to be ineffective.
"What's really concerning is that it's the Australian Government that's been giving the tick of approval to these offsets," @richarddenniss.bsky.social said on Sky News.

Obscene inequality.
The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people passed $2 trillion last year.
12 people. $2 trillion.
Meanwhile, U.S. homelessness increased 18% in 2024.
Our problem isn’t an issue of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

I don't think it's widely appreciated quite how aggressive Australian police are about (some) peaceful protestors, and that such behaviour is out of step with reasonable global comparisons.
Despite the headline….
“Only Australia arrested climate and environmental protesters at a higher rate than UK police.”
