The Climate Risk Assessment report predicts 1.5 million Australians will be affected by sea level rise within 25 years.

Al Gore: "Our constitution is intended to protect us against a threat identical to Donald Trump. Someone who seeks power at all costs to get more power."

BREAKING: The people who did this to Gaza are deeply concerned that Iran might have broken international humanitarian law

Louise Adler is the voice of reason. As director of Adelaide Writers Week she warns 'We need writers now more than ever ... as Aust grows more unjust and unequal' and 'pro-Israel lobby & opportunistic politicians' are coming for you.

🚨NEW: The U.S Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

RETWEET if you stand with Powell against Trump!

No, this is not a nuclear explosion. The rest of the world can still sleep and live in peace. This is just another night in Ukraine, the view from the window of an ordinary Kyiv resident.

You watch this through your phone screens, while we watch it from the windows of our own homes. This is just a fragment of the nightly madness that russia allows itself to unleash on the territory of my country. A shard torn out of the lives of Ukrainians. Yes, people died again tonight. Yes, there are wounded. Yes, there was another swarm of attack drones and missiles. It continues, and it feels as though no one can do anything about it.

As climate disasters become more frequent, fewer Australians will be able to insure their homes.

Fossil fuel producers should pay for the damage they are creating, not ordinary Australians. Add your name to the call for a climate disaster levy ✍️ https://t.co/awUOTzPMxc

Europe has always supported efforts for a just, comprehensive and lasting peace in Ukraine.

But for any plan to work, it needs Ukrainians and Europeans on board.

In this war, there is one aggressor and one victim. So far, we haven't heard of any concessions from Russia's side.

It’s an act of shame.

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

This is APPALLING

The Albanese govt has now cut more jobs from CSIRO than the Abbot govt 🤯

We need these scientists & researchers just as much as we need the steelworkers at Whyalla or aluminium at Tomago.

Time to pull out the cheque book here too.

Hey Queenslanders, your government took $900 million dollars from you, that’s about $400 from every household, and gave it to a foreign owned mining company.

Hope you’re cool with that.

Macron: "If Ukraine is not strong, Russia will violate its own commitments. This is why we are doing what we do."

Finally someone in the west gets this very simple concept 🙂

[Michael Power @afterglowmp]

CSIRO, a world class scientific agency, has been historic source of high level research and scientist training. Why cut funding & staff given the nation's growing need for R&D? Why not cut capital gains tax exemption or get one less nuclear sub? #CSIRO #Australianscience

[Michael Power @afterglowmp]

Those who work and support the Trump administration are all complicit in these shameless crimes.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

What Americans don’t yet grasp is that pardoning people who do you favors and enrich you is just the beginning. Shakedowns with lawsuits and threats are low level. Sham prosecutions, jailing the disobedient and looting their assets is the next step of Putinization.

[Michael Power @afterglowmp]

Australia buys Russian oil. Incredible revelation which confirms suspicions that the sanctions on Putin's crime gang just aren't that effective. #SlavaUkraine

It’s your day. Win this. Show the world that billionaires running governments is a bad idea.

Early this morning, our city still in darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Reporter: You slammed Biden, saying he didn’t even know who he was pardoning. On 60 Minutes, Trump admitted he didn’t know he pardoned a crypto billionaire convicted of money laundering

Johnson: I don’t know anything about it. I didn't see the interview

[Michael Power @afterglowmp]

Bring it on. What about a limit to homes an individual can own or at least a significant levy on the third and more houses someone buys???

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Housing affordability is going to keep deteriorating until we start treating housing as a human right & have a sensible conversation about tax, skills, migration & population settings.

We need tough policy decisions not to just keep doing more of the same and hoping for the best.

🇪🇺🇺🇦Today, we are one step closer to EU membership.

Ukraine has received its highest ratings in the 2025 Enlargement Package Report just released by the European Commission.

We welcome that the report confirms Ukraine’s consistent progress on the path toward EU membership. This is our best result in three years — and most importantly, Ukraine has never received a negative “backsliding” assessment.

The report also highlights Ukraine’s progress in preparing for accession talks and readiness to open negotiation clusters.

The course toward EU membership remains among the top priorities of our President, Parliament, and Government.

We are confidently moving toward full membership in the European Union — a goal that brought millions of Ukrainians to the Maidan nearly 13 years ago, and one we have since defended and enshrined in our Constitution. Ukraine is an integral part of Europe.

[Joni Askola @joni_askola]

The longer we allow the war to continue, the more it will cost us.

The best way to end it sooner is to fund Ukraine’s missiles and drones and help Ukraine scale up production
