Interestingly, my tweets are breaking into the algorithms of the right wing, and they are unable to comprehend and manage world views outside their own. So they abuse with the accusation of "seek help! Mental illness!

Poor buggers are suffering from the greatest form of projection.

I can see them frothing at the mouth in a fetal position, filling up my mentions.

Get well, my trolls; I'm thinking of you. 🙃

The world is facing climate collapse but Australia keeps digging up coal and chopping down forests. That’s why I’m on a #ClimateHungerStrike until the Australian Government takes real action. Read more and please sign my petition here.👇🏽 https://t.co/ZtCwI6K0QQ

The legendary chief of Saudi Intelligence Turki -Al- Faisal could not have said it better. Worth a listen

[Gregory Andrews @LyrebirdDream]

Spent otherwise, Australia’s fossil fuel subsidies could fund construction of 23 new world-class hospitals each year. Instead our taxes are supporting cancerous air pollution and dangerous climate change. Fossil fuel subsidies must end.👇🏽 https://t.co/0szjc5syMZ

@DianaRyall We have a solid history of either sanctioning or turning a blind eye … I had thought we were better than this but apparent not .. https://t.co/1EYP38Kujm

Bruce Lehrmann reportedly used a fake name with his latest alleged victim in Toowoomba, and she says she blacked out before they had sex. Pretty much the same as what Brittany Higgins says happened to her. If this is true, the man needs to be taken off the streets. #auspol

The situation continues to deteriorate for civilians in Gaza.

Australia must be calling for a humanitarian ceasefire to allow the safe passage of aid and critical supplies for hospitals.

Close enough…

John Hewson:

“It is time we stop pretending the overwhelming “No” vote at the referendum wasn’t fanned by racism, underlying all the lies and misrepresentation”

“There should be little doubt about the extent of misrepresentation and dishonesty in this referendum campaign – so much, in fact, that the government must be pressured to honour its promises to reform truth in political advertising by way of new laws before the next election”

Just Australia out here having a regular one…

[Paul Bongiorno @PaulBongiorno]

Equality does not equal sameness. The referendum was addressing a bloody dispossession of the prior owners without acknowledgement they had been stripped of all their rights and dignity and literally put to the sword.

It is about late justice for these members of the human race.

Yesterday my local council voted to end mandatory prayers before meetings.

The separation of church and state is a critical part of a healthy democracy.

Sign the petition below to get the federal government to cease mandatory prayer next #auspol

@PeterBotsman I taught my Year 9s about the frontier wars this year. I had to read and watch a lot as it was largely new to me .. the complete disregard for indigenous peoples humanity and rights as first peoples was horrific and confronting.

[BishiBoo @bishiboo2]

@MichaelSpring17 100% with you. And there is other good stuff going on in Victoria (and most probably other states too.

[First Peoples' Assembly of Victoria @firstpeoplesvic]

While we believed that a Voice to Parliament at a national level would have been complimentary to our work, it’s important to remember that Constitutional reform isn’t the only show in town. Here in Vic, we’re making great progress on the journey to Treaty https://t.co/hTrGOQa31Y

In The Australian today Geoffrey Blainey today revealed the deep agenda of the conservative side of politics. He also inadvertently revealed why the National Party is doomed and why the electorates farthest from the capital cities should have voted overwhelmingly yes in the 2023 Referendum:
Remote and regional towns will only survive with the full cooperation of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities.
If Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal residents in remote areas do not stick together they will be blown away and barons like Gina Reinhardt will simply rule the roost in the remote areas.
Blainey argues that Australia is not wealthy enough to support “tiny remote and rural towns”. This is a more radical vision of Tony Abbott and Warren Mundine in government, not $500 million in reductions, but if Blainey has his way, and the rationalists of the IPA have theirs, billions of Commonwealth funding will be wiped from the budgets supporting rural and remote Australia and particularly Aboriginal towns and communities.
Blainey wants also to peel back all of the remnant lands handed back to Aboriginal communities since the 1970s and forget the homelands movement or any acknowledgement of ongoing Aboriginal culture. With JNP and WM, as their Aboriginal advocates, if the conservatives have their way, a new era of assimilation will begin in which all Aborigines will be required to be self sufficient on their lands or move back to capital cities or regional towns. The same will apply to non-Aboriginal Australians who are not employees of some mining or pastoral consortium.
Blainey argues that “closing the gap” targets should be thrown out the window and that if Aboriginal people stopped smoking there might be an improvement in their health!!! He writes: "The life expectancy of us all, Aboriginal people included, has improved dramatically since 1788. ..Today Aboriginal Australians have a life expectancy equal to that of Bulgaria and rural Romania. Their life expectancy is higher than that in Russia and Ukraine”
A divided Australia was the catch cry of the No campaign. But truly now we have a massive divide in Australian politics.
Thankfully the 2023 campaign has created a new and strong movement of Aboriginal advocates who have a different vision for the bush, remote and regional Australian towns and a new understanding of Aboriginal communities. The fight only now begins.
