My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

The mood in Sydney today. Crashing thunder, hail more than rain and collapsed trees but these things do not deter XR, Drum Rebellion, Knitting Nannas and Bob Brown Foundation. They added to the “wind” near NSW Parliament House today.

Climate change isn’t a matter of opinion – it’s evidence. But conservative denial and short-term thinking are still blocking urgent action. If we keep ignoring the long term, our grandchildren will pay the price.

Conservatism, denial and the climate crisis: why short-term thinking is holding us back
Human societies are generally conservative, averse to substantial change – and they are getting in the way of the necessary intervention on climate change and emissions reduction.

Incarcerated First Nations people remain politically invisible in WA – and that invisibility is driving the state’s incarceration crisis.
Real reform demands lived-experience voices.

Making First Nations prisoners visible in Labor politics
Despite Western Australian Labor’s rhetoric on equality and Closing the Gap, incarcerated First Nations people remain politically invisible. Without formal representation and lived-experience voices in party deliberations, meaningful reform is impossible. The 2027 State Labor Conference is the moment to change that.

21 of them are either part of the global arms industry or actively working on its behalf.
