War through madness.

US needs allies and bases as it lines up China for war — Australia needs this like a hole in the head.

Opinion | A staggering 86% of Australians want stronger protections for whistleblowers. The Albanese government must listen to them. https://t.co/z7SVkI1Tcn

[David Shoebridge @DavidShoebridge]

Prime Minister Albanese must clearly reject the invitation from the Israeli Government to visit.

It should not even be a question while Israel uses hunger as a weapon of war, killing families queuing for food as part of an ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Is there something corrupt about Australia's corruption investigative body?

If you know a law student, or a lawyer, then you know someone who may benefit from at least skimming this new book.

This needs to be shared over any over again until the next federal election. #auspol @alifrance5

Australian pensioners! Take note.

[THE Russell - Find me at: @the-russell.bsky.social @THE_Russell]

How do Pensioners justify voting for the #LNP when the LNP are committed to scaling down recipients of the pension and punishing everyone who relies on the pension to survive.

Grace, the legend.

[Peter Cronau @PeterCronau]

“Fuck” explained.

“Rupert Murdoch doesn't just own the news. He's an oil baron. He sits on boards with defence contractors. For 50 years he has owned the biggest chunk of the public consciousness and contorted it in his own cruel image.
I find Murdoch's assault on our democracy far more offensive and disrespectful than swear words on a T-shirt.”

Genocide is...

[Pelham @Resist_05]

There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been decimated, 100% of the population displaced and 50% of the deaths children…

So let’s just call it for what it really is… this is a GENOCIDE..🇵🇸💔

[Dr Sarah Russell @AgedMatters]

More than 500,000 Australians signed a parliamentary petition calling for a royal commission into media diversity in Australia.
Grace's T-shirt received more media coverage than either this petition or the subsequent senate inquiry.

Whistleblower protection is essential for transparency and good government.

[Andrew Wilkie MP @WilkieMP]

Whistleblowers make Aus a better place. That is why when parliament returns I will be introducing my Whistleblower Protection Authority Bill. Listen to The Guardian Full Story on why more needs to be done to protect those who speak up about wrongdoing. https://t.co/0vbXG9dMv5

Ancient trees and forests in Tasmania are still being destroyed for profit.

[Bob Brown Foundation @BobBrownFndn]

‼️ We are witnessing a global climate crime in Tasmania.

We can’t stand to lose any more forests and the wildlife that depend on them for survival.

Native forests must be granted secure protection.

[David Shoebridge @DavidShoebridge]

Australia shouldn’t be a safe haven for war criminals, but right now, it is.

This is why the Australian Greens will create a dedicated permanent body that can investigate and prosecute war crimes.

Which University Chancellors are milking the public teat?

[Rex Patrick @MrRexPatrick]

#Breaking: Jacqui Lambie announces a Bill to end the culture of obscene entitlement at the top of our universities. The Parliament appropriates taxpayers’ money for unis to educate Australians, not to make Vice Chancellors and senior university executives rich. 1/2 #auspol

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

Saying it again. Nuclear is the most expensive form of energy we could have. Those pushing the conversation on it, are using it to distract from the rollout of the cheapest, cleanest energy form: renewables. #auspol

[ColinGJ @ColinGJ]

Meanwhile in Australia, Opposition leader Dutton is trying a Trump-lite approach to distract from his coalition's "shameful legacy".

[Rex Patrick @MrRexPatrick]

In Opposition the LNP blows hard about cutting govt ‘waste’. But in govt they blew billions on fat cat consultancy firms, subsidies for big business and failed defence projects while they persecuted welfare recipients & veterans. A shameful legacy. #auspol https://t.co/2LgHMA9VUc

[ColinGJ @ColinGJ]

Aussie lawyers and law students, don't miss this.

[Politic@l Spinner. @lesstenny]

Dutton can’t be PM if he loses his seat. Let's get behind @alifrance5. Come on, voters of #Dickson 🥰
lets do this. #auspol

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

Treat the Coalition’s nuclear policy as what it is. A distraction.
