The #NDIS changed my and so many others' lives for the better - no it is not perfect but gutting it is not the answer.

Write to your representatives, please.

Hundreds of thousands of people in #Gaza remain in urgent need of food.

As winter rains sweep through tents and shelters, their daily survival gets even tougher.

WFP food assistance remains a lifeline - and must be sustained and scaled up to support families this winter.

1. The European Parliament’s attempt to ban plant-based foods from being sold as “sausages”, “burgers” etc is a direct response to livestock industry lobbying. This is a short thread on how utterly bleeding ridiculous it is. 🧵1/6

Israel says it will open the Rafah crossing so people inside Gaza can leave. Why won't Israel allow Palestinians who've already left to use the crossing to return? Why won't Israel allow humanitarian agencies to use the crossing to bring aid into Gaza?

Australia’s response to Gaza isn’t ignorance – it’s deliberate forgetting. Silence becomes strategy when truth threatens power, writes Jaron Sutton. #Gaza #HumanRights #Australia #Genocide #PoliticalSilence #InternationalLaw
The politics of forgetting: Australia, Gaza and moral silence
From the “Great Australian Silence” to Gaza, deliberate forgetting has long provided political cover for injustice. Silence, not ignorance, is the problem.

I don't want to be too judgmental, but every single proponent of the glories of AI is a complete wanker

How weird…one minute we are supposed to have a gas shortage (hint: we didn’t) and now we are going to let AI data centres build new gas fired electricity generators to ensure they have enough electricity…

Its as if everything the government says about gas is BS #climate
