Come live and work in Central Australia where the air is clean, the skies are blue all the time and the country is mentally uplifting it is so beautiful We need you. https://t.co/4K5Vbl1z9U

This is such great news for social justice in Australia. Housing is for living in and should not be one of the most attractive ways to make a profit. This delivers something significant for all Australians currently locked out of the housing market. https://t.co/wMdIdsww3A

Alcohol use disorder accounts for 5% of deaths worldwide annually, and there is an urgent need for new treatments.

A new study found that GLP-1 reduces heavy drinking days in treatment seeking people with alcohol use disorder and obesity: https://t.co/MhUTBf9G7h

Socialising the delivery of essential services while leave the market, competition and profit as the basis for commodity production is not communism but the cornerstone of future participatory, social democracies. EC is not the place for private profit https://t.co/S4mzohY6fO

Genuine wealth taxes on the top 1% are needed globally https://t.co/rULiXdene3

The failure to introduce significant wealth taxes on the super rich is a choice government make and this would help to bring down inflation as well as fund the services and programs that help to build the human capacity to increase productivity https://t.co/jRncjxwRQY

In search of the elusive Bancor as promoted by John Maynard Keynes at Bretton Woods. Some ideas stand the test of time. Without a new way of regulating the global economy the extreme levels of inequality create multiple crises https://t.co/rygfS5NTo6

📢 No to genocide. No to war. No to ICE. Trillions of dollars poured into occupying communities from DC to Palestine, Chicago to Venezuela while people suffer, starving, unable to make rent or get medical treatment.

U.S. militarism is out of control and we are paying the price while corporations and authoritarians profit. But we can get organized to make sure we leave no one behind. #NoIceNoWar #FoodNotBombs #InvestInLife

This is a terrible decision but it is only to be expected when the Australian Prime Minister did not publicly refute the allegations from Netanyahu that the Bondi massacre was caused by the Australian government’s recognition of the state of Palestine. https://t.co/mDBiHKDyb6

This tragic, preventable death is described as a “never” event yet this exact event led to a coronial into the death of a pregnant Aboriginal woman in Alice Springs Hospital in 1989. What are the systemic factors that allow this to happen at least twice? https://t.co/MhRvq6UIhy

This story does not mention the critical role that the unique alcohol restrictions have played in these improvements. The tough on crime approach is NT wide but the major gains have only been in Alice Springs. Alcohol supply reduction is a big part of this https://t.co/KBeFF0EUv8

Imagine a DoH suggesting remote Aboriginal communities should get liquor licenses so they could “take advantage” of poker machines and a government spending public money to inflict the most addictive form of gambling WITH alcohol on a susceptible pop. https://t.co/boSCW18G6r

We’re proud anti-Zionists at JVP. But what is Zionism and why are we opposed to it? 🧵

Today, on Christmas Day, we recall the historical birthplace of Christianity: Palestine. These photos are some of the earliest taken during Christmas in Bethlehem.

Palestinian Christians are a fundamental part of Palestinian society and culture inside and outside of Gaza. On this sacred day, we stand in solidarity with our Christian siblings all over the world who are demanding an end to Israeli genocide and an end to 77 years of Israeli occupation. All people should be able to celebrate their holy days in peace.

The one validated intervention to slow aging and extend healthspan is not for sale.

NT alcohol policy reforms have halved alcohol induced mortality and we are now close to the national average. Floor price was a key part of this. It needed to be indexed to inflation to maintain its effectiveness not removed. https://t.co/kifphqJJLY

Alcohol, gambling and pornography are a toxic mix when it comes to DFSV. We need stronger regulation of all three industries as part of our approach to reduce DFSV. People before profit, especially women and children. https://t.co/QIF0zj9i0E

[John Boffa @DoctorBoffa]

The Federal government needs to act as this is a national issue - time for a volumetric tax on alcohol in a manner that will achieve a national floor price at about $1.70 per std drink. Other evidence based measures to reduce take-away harm also needed https://t.co/njBxg7IQIC
