Todays Labor Party is worlds away from Labor of years past. They kowtow to the US, to the Israel lobby, to Murdoch media and to other powerful lobby groups . Now they're in a race to the bottom with immigration policies to keep One Nation at bay. Sadly Albo is not the answer.

The world's biggest companies have caused $28 trillion in climate damage, a new study estimates: https://t.co/3clxDDZCym

Read that again.

Time for the people that are fueling this crisis to pay for the damage they're causing.

Both Woolworths & Coles have profits above 14%.
Inflation less 4%.
So cost living crisis on food brought on by these 2.
We need competition in supermarket sector

Donald trump is sending loud and clear messages that he's lost his f*cking mind, and people are just acting like the guy with the nuclear codes is perfectly fine.

This rotten Jack-o-Lantern is renaming Lakes and threatening to demolish the Kennedy Center.

He posts nonsense from his Truth Social that makes him look like a complete idiot.

He keeps an unhinged groupie close to him because she feeds his delusions like thinking he's the greatest President in history when he's really dead last.

Russia sees this.
China sees this.
Iran sees this.

And Republicans are fine with watching him fiddle while the country burns on unaffordability.

None of this is normal.

No discussion of data centres should proceed without acknowledging what they do: that's OUR data- our identities, our records, our creative outputs. It's not some abstract 'data' plucked out of the ether; it's data ABOUT US.

Australia welcomes 40 IDF soldiers to run Sydney Marathon, promoted by NSW Zionist Council as a "peace delegation".

Yet comedian Bassem Youssef is denied entry because Australian Jewish groups got upset at his jokes about Israel.

The moral inversion is utterly deranged. #auspol

If the Greens are in such an advantageous position in the parliament, how did the cuts to the NDIS and weak gambling reforms pass the Senate? Co-CEO Richard Denniss dissects how we got these ineffective legislation changes in the latest episode of “What’s the Point?”.

Got to love to commitment to moral values by the devoutly religious, although they only seem to cover abortion, contraception, gay rights & trans rights. Money, influence & power are exempt from any morality bar might is right.

Parliament has yet again expanded the powers of our intelligence agencies, without expanding oversight of them. We need to have a parliamentary committee keeping a proper watch over them, not giving them a blank cheque. #auspol https://t.co/mtbnvzc86x

In the last 5 months, annual inflation has had the following evolution:
4.6%
4.2%
4.0%
3.8%
3.5%
... and the contempible clowns have their shit bent by the Treasurer saying inflation has moderated
How pathetic are these fools who obviously hate Labor. That's fine, but chucking a wobbly over facts is embarrasing

There’s a Nepalese man on the news crying because he has lost his family in these terrible floods.

He says the floods were 10 times worse than even the worst floods they’ve ever seen.

I know people get irritated with people like me going on about climate change, but these are the stakes.

A lot of people are going to die, potentially millions, at worst billions.

I just can’t understand why the media and politicians cannot reflect what the scientists are telling us about the urgency of this moment.

Australia is now a base for US military strike forces. AUKUS N subs are supposed to be our "China deterrence" strategy. But Kym Davey says here Australia should work with China, not try to contain it >> https://t.co/UCsR7lKyH5

We were promised ‘national standards’ and then a state as big as QLD is carved out of new data centre rules?! We have a national electricity market on the east coast so what does that mean for the potential to push up prices in other states?

Disappointing that after promising national standards the PM has backed down - and there's still no talk of capturing long term benefits from these data centres. What's the ongoing benefit after the build phase?

You can fire scientists, teachers, writers &experts. You can bluster &posture & slam your fist, you can claim black is white & hot is cold, but climate change isn’t going away. Physics & chemistry don’t give a shit. https://t.co/JYGmnfEGBd

This was inevitable
Glaciers in Nepal, stuck between two major carbon emitters - India and China, melted 65% faster in the last decade than in the previous ‌one
So no surprise all this melting is causing massive landslides
This is called progress economic growth development
