ANU ‘dictionary centre is a national asset — once it’s gone, we lose a living record of our national voice’ theconversation.com/the-anu-is-m...

I love how, our coal exports don't impact world emissions, because if we don't export it someone else will. But our gas exports apparently do impact world emissions, by displacing coal.

Meanwhile, for two months, Israel has denied even a drop of water to besieged Gaza. That’s why our action with the Conscience was, and remains, vital. As governments stay silent and protect Israel from any accountability, it’s up to us to build a more just world - one that includes a free Palestine.

Politicians force us to live in poverty, then pretend to care with band-aid funding for services that do nothing to address the poverty & cruel welfare policies that drive us to despair.
