In the horror of a Genocide this is a moment of hope. 15 of the children from the Gaza Nipper’s program got back in the surf this week. 30 of the other nippers can’t be found, many have been killed. How has the world made the decision to send so many bombs and so few lifesavers?

Penny Wong has had 24 hours, but still nothing. No statement of concern, no raised eyebrow... and no late signing of this very reasonable joint statement of foreign ministers. The Australian govt's craven failure to say [let alone do] anything critical of the Trump regime is humiliating. #auspol

Australia’s climate policy – a crime against humanity

On this day in 2012, Gillard made sure that single mothers with kids over 8 were forced onto Newstart rather than the single parent payment, setting the living standards on those kids and the safety of their mother back. Years later Labor raised the age back to 14, not the original 16.

this is so fucked - 2 of the staunch forest defenders who were arrested today have been given bail conditions including a curfew from 10pm to 7am every day until their court date in january. obscene overreach by cops trying to intimidate protestors 🙄
A screenshot of an Instagram post from Bob brown foundation featuring a pro Esther logged onto a logging machine with the caption “forest defenders arrested and given outrageous curfew”a post from bob brown foundation instagram “Two retired Tasmanian health professionals have today been placed on an outrageous nightly curfew until January 2027 after protesting to defend Lutruwita / Tasmania's native forests from logging.
They are two of three peaceful forest activists who were arrested in the Central Highlands for halting logging destruction.
In an example of complete police overreach, the two protesters were bailed from Bridgewater Police Station this afternoon with a strict 10 pm - 7 am house curfew until 25 January 2027. They are also forbidden from entering any "permanent timber production zone" land until their court date. This accounts for all public forests, approximately 12% of Tasmania's land mass.
"This is draconian overreach and impinges on our basic rights to protest in a fair and reasonable society. It won't work and I will appeal this home imprisonment for standing up for our native forests and all the animals that live within,"-Alison Salisbury, 61 years old retired nurse and grandmother.
Protesters are willing to wear their charges for civil disobedience when breaking unjust laws that protect the loggers, but outrageous bail conditions imposing house imprisonment on forest defenders is truly appalling.”

This sort of fall takes house prices back to where they were only a few years ago, when the headlines were about the insane unaffordability. It's the more expensive homes (already over inflated) which are experiencing a drop - the lower end of the market has barely moved.
