A court battle over a climate protest at Woodside's HQ has reignited calls for Labor to introduce laws to preventing large corporations from using costly legal tactics to silence critics. Emil, Kristen and Joana all faced criminal prosecution years ago but Woodside is still pursuing civil action against them, an expensive 'fishing expedition' to intimidate other critics. Support them‼👇🏻

Private actors are increasing their control over energy, fuel, housing, food, healthcare & education. They drive inflation & drag down living standards. We need price controls & more public delivery to protect Australia from inflation & profiteering. My op-ed w @smh#auspol
Unlike in Canada and the US where a court can quickly end a lawsuit if it qualifies as a SLAPP-suit, there are no similar protections in Australia with the exception of outdated laws in the ACT.
Without reform, these tactics will continue to be relied upon by large companies.
Jillian Segal claimed Gaza death toll is 'grossly inflated'. Here are the facts.
Thank you @deepcutnews for your work exposing Segal and her attempts to silence the truth.

Musings on human survival…
“As a declining imperialist system lashes out to preserve its declining order, working-class organisation becomes not only necessary for the oppressed of the world, but indispensable to human survival.”

Every word. By Louise Adler in @deepcutnews - a devastating account of the charade this is turning into:
If the Royal Commission is serious about antisemitism, it should look at the Israel lobby – Louise Adler
Trivialisation of antisemitism at the Royal Commission will not make Jews, or anyone else, safer.

In certain environments, Anti-Palestinian Racism appears common, often systemic, and absolutely under-detected.
Thank you ELSC for this effort and let's continue document this appalling phenomenon.
Never Again is not a tribal slogan.
The system is working exactly as it was designed.
▪️Adani’s $400 million royalty liability forgiven after a $600,000 donation.
▪️The gas industry paying less tax than beer drinkers.
▪️900 days of gambling reform delay with secret industry meetings running in parallel.
▪️The think tank that produced the Shadow Treasurer funded by the companies he now shadows.
▪️The party that wrote Australia’s donation disclosure laws writing itself out of them.
▪️A housing policy blaming immigrants for a crisis created by a 1999 tax discount.
▪️A leader who stepped off a billionaire’s jet to demand gas returns – then voted against the only mechanism that would deliver them.
▪️A political class that spent $22 billion on buybacks, while telling you to work harder.

Jeremy Johnson - in 50 years time this will be the only 1.39 minutes of your life you'll be remembered for. It'll be played in genocide museums to sum up the complicity and callous brutality of the British state in the face of the slaughter of the Palestinian people - and the courage of those who opposed it.

@cheryl_kernot@GregWithers3@iamthenas@BevFloyd10 If you're interested, go on to this page to see how heavily enmeshed the Israel lobby is with all facets of the Australian union movement and Australian Labor
👉🏽https://t.co/xgKyHZmQeY
Then ask yourself how and why the unions and Labor have succumbed so completely to Israel
