Australian inflation was dead and buried last September or even earlier. Since then RBA has been squeezing…people need well paid jobs but RBA doesn’t care. The Treasurer should call the board on its deadly decisions. #auspol

I’m keen to chat to people in Australia working on climate attribution science and economics. Particularly, the quantification of climate losses and linking to specific sources of emissions.

Can anyone point me in the direction of anyone doing this work in Australia?

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.

Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

Lorenzo D’Agostino, an Italian journalist, told the Guardian there were crew members who had urgently needed medication. “The Israelis ignored them,” he said. “When we all protested, they came in wearing riot gear, set dogs on us and aimed the laser sights of their automatic rifles at our heads.”

"Let me be very clear; there is a genocide going on in front of our very eyes, a live-streamed genocide on all of our phones.

No-one has the privilege to say we are not aware of what is happening. No-one is the future will be able to say we did not know." - Greta Thunberg

In September 2025, daily shipments of oil and refined products by Russian Railways fell to 2020 COVID-crisis levels, according to Istebin.ua. The collapse mirrors the 2020 plunge when oil output dropped from 10 to 8 million barrels/day. Some wells may have been shut down permanently.

Pure evil.

Important. At first I defined myself as a liberal Zionist wanting to end the occupation, but then i realised something deeper.

I researched Nakba, Kfat Qasem massacre, Sabra and Shatila, Israel’s history is filled with crimes against humanity.

The Jewish state had become the perpetrators !!

I have never believed in those old conspiracy chestnuts of Jews controlling the banking system or Hollywood, but the reality is that Zionist apologists have powerful networks that exert a big influence over our media, even in a supposedly egalitarian country like Australia. It's shocking. #auspol
