"Police argue expected number of Palestine protesters at Sunday rally poses significant safety concern"

Could the NSW Police bother to please get themselves a new script writer? They said the same fucking thing about the Sydney Harbour Bridge protest. FFS. #auspol #FreePalestine

Marles on the #GlobalSumudFlotilla:

"We had made it clear that Australians should not be trying to breach the blockade...and that was very much a matter in terms of their own personal safety".

He's blaming the victims of Israel enforcing its illegal blockade. #auspol

After asking Dept of Climate Change & Energy on cost of the 2035 target, Sarah Henderson doesn’t want to hear the answer & desperately tries to stop Kath Rowley from embarrassing her on the cost of ‘not’ having a target
Kath Rowley “If I could just finish my answer?”🙄 #Estimates

That question by Ley just shows how out of depth she is. Had a good one on 000 failures, but she wanted to be extra smart and so she talked about Wells "swanning around NY" and Wells drilled her on it #qt

Parliament Live: Senate estimates gets underway. All the day's events, as it happens.

The government is pushing forward with its FOI changes, despite pushback, while Anthony Albanese says today "is not a day for demonstrations" with the parliament to commemorate the second anniversary ...

Yes, Shame on you Sussan Ley, you belittle this country.

Greg Jericho @grogsgamut.bsky.social · 1d

Sussan Ley absolutely covering herself in shame with this disgraceful condolence motion on 7 October. Hastie will of course be worse, but the bottom is being scraped already. #QT

Make fossil fuel exporters pay for the damage they are causing, not ordinary Australians

Climate change is making natural disasters like fires, floods, heatwaves and drought worse, costing Australians billions every year. Make fossil fuel producers pay a climate disaster levy to help pay...

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3

Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

The 'good guys' are totally the ones torturing a 22 y/o autistic woman who was illegally abducted in international waters for bringing food and baby formula to the trapped, starving, emaciated victims of a livestreamed genocide

It’s not lazy. That’s their game. They don’t believe in governance, so what’s the point in policy?

The point re laziness is the degree to which each player lifts their share of culture war BS.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.
