We rightly have a problem with Russia terrorising Ukrainians. Why have we no problem with #US #NATO terrorising people of #Afghanistan #Iraq #Libya ? Or no problem with US + #EU helping #Saudi #UAE terrorise #Yemen ? Why have we no problem with #Israel terrorising #Palestinians ?


Today on Religion and Ethics @RadioNational Australians talk of war crimes as "knowingly bombing civilian" areas. We point at Russia but Australia UK and alliés deliberately dropped A bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki BECAUSE these were not yet affected by that war! Civilian cities.

Good, good thinking 99

I'll be announcing this in a speech later today, but I wanted to share it with you here first. This is the biggest boost to Paid Parental Leave since it was introduced. Six months of paid time off - and the flexibility to choose how to split it between parents.

We need to think of each other as true sisters and brothers, and to be concerned with each other’s welfare. Rather than working solely to acquire wealth, we need to do something meaningful, something seriously directed toward the welfare of humanity as a whole.

California: the fifth largest economy in the world just committed to going 100% renewable energy. Who's next? We have the solutions. There's no time to waste. Speed it up and implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #climate #energy #renewables #solar #wind #GreenNewDeal


Australians need many more media journalists like Assange to exposé our double standards and deeper disinformation dysfunction. We must protect our journos and our whistle blowers. We must raise our democracy lest we lose it. Assange deserves respect, care, freedom! #auspol

This is why they try to silence Assange: A little girl on the street in a yellow dress, who would frequently go to collect candy from US troops... one day a tank goes past and, for an inexplicable reason, a shooter comes out of the US tank and blows her away—Julian Assange, 2010

Santos has recorded a 300% profit. That’s during an energy crisis, one that households are footing the bill for. Never believe them when they say we need more gas. We don’t. We need gas corporations to stop wrecking the planet and rorting the system for profit.


I feel so blessed to have these women lead and represent us in parliament #independents #auspol

Tonight on #4Corners: the women shaking up Australian politics. We go behind the scenes for a rare and candid look at their first weeks in office. Can they maintain the promise of change? Or will politics change them?

Community members protesting logging pose no threat to loggers. But the timber industry poses a huge threat to all our futures - killing endangered wildlife and destroying our crucial carbon stores, our precious native forests.

Scott Morrison's tax cuts are legislated because Labor voted for them. Parliament could undo them in a day. The only thing stopping us is Labor.
