The planet isn't "dying" of natural causes. Forests don't just disappear. They are logged. Oceans don't just choke. They are polluted. Rivers don't just dry up. They are diverted. This is not a tragedy. It's ecocide. And ecocide should be a crime. #StopEcocide

Yesterday the Senate agreed to my motion that calls on the government to fix our broken lobbying laws. It's time for politics to work for Australians, and that starts with lobbying reform. This is a great first step. Go to www.fixlobbying.com.au and join my call for lobbying reform.

My brother got married on a 40⁰ Adelaide day and when we had photos in the park it was so cool and beautiful. The park was crowded but there were enough trees and space that everyone had their own place to sit. Destroying that is unbelievable enviromental vandalism

The people scream cutting #NDIS funding is bad. Both Liberals and Labour pushed it through anyway. Governments are designed to support and regulate businesses. Not the other way around. Poverty, as always, is a political choice. Charity is a failure of a government to support people.

Some more equal. My @smh cartoon.
Single frame. Title “All animals are equal…” barnyard where Chris Minns stands in from to stables with a cow at one end, a horse the other. In the yard, six assorted cats in front of Minns who holds “HATE SPEECH LAWS”. A bin behind him with “SACKAR REPORT”  Also in yard, collie dog, sheep, pig, chicken, duck, rat and mice, two chicks. A crow. Minns says, “I’m afraid from now on, hate speech against cats is of a higher priority than hate speech against the rest of you.”

Antipoverty Centre @antipovertycentre.org · 07/08/2026
Outsourced (un)employment services who receive billions in public money are dodging taxes & using profits to line the pockets of politicians who hold the purse strings. Thanks 7am & @garethhutchens.bsky.social for this dicussion of @cictar.bsky.social's report: 7ampodcast.com.au/episodes/our...
Quote: They're using things like offshore profit shifting... contracts are awarded to private companies to deliver what are essential services. They are very reliant on those government contracts. 

So you start seeing a lot of large political donations. It's just part of the system.

A simple political cartoon showing a military tank facing a polar bear sitting on a melting piece of ice. Hand-written text at the top features the polar bear criticizing the logic of fighting wars for profit and destruction rather than to save the planet.

I don’t care whether this actually happened or not. I want it to be true.
Social media screenshot, in theory:

@whyuhhhhhhhhhh
So last week, I noticed my coworker kept saying weird phrases in meetings. Stuff like:
"We'll take this to the synergy zone."
"Let's triangle back on that."
"Put that in the idea fridge."

No one reacted. Everyone just nodded like it was normal. I figured it was some corporate lingo I missed.

Day two, I hear: "We'll verticalize that bandwidth."

I write it down to Google later. Nothing.

By day three, I'm starting to use them, too. "Yeah, we should put that in the idea fridge." People nodded. I felt included.

Friday rolls around. He pulls me aside and goes:
"I've been making them all up. No one knows what they mean."

HE GOT THE ENTIRE TEAM SAYING NONSENSE. Even the manager threw out "triangle back" in a call.

Now the whole office is trapped in fake jargon with no way out.

I respect it. I fear it.
