The war in Gaza has killed 186 journalists as of Aug 11, 2025. This is the highest number ever recorded in any war. 🚨
It is more than the total journalists killed in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, the Yugoslav Wars, and Afghanistan combined. ⚖️📸💔

Incredible footage showing how massive the Sydney #MarchForHumanity was - and this despite the heavy rain! By far the biggest protest I can remember being at in a long time.

Dr Ken Mulvaney thought that once people realised how important the rock art was, there would be no more industrial development at Murujuga.
Instead he's seen multiple new developments built, creating acidic emissions that are slowly destroying the rock art.

If Senator Murray Watt approves the North West Shelf extension, his legacy will forever be as the man who destroyed the oldest rock art on the planet.
It will be an act of vandalism so gross that nothing he can do in politics thereafter could counter the damage.

The Murujuga rock art is one of Australia's most priceless heritage sites.
And it's being slowly destroyed.
If Environment Minister Murray Watt approves the 50 year extension to the North West Shelf, it will be a death sentence for Murujuga.
