While tenants' unions are a novel concept to the public here, they're quite normal elsewhere.

We're a tenants' union. We unionize buildings and tenants under the same landlord, organize collective bargaining campaigns and co-ordinate rent strikes, pickets and eviction defence (if necessary). As well as, provide members with materials for tenancy disputes in various state tribunals.

What to do if your 000 call doesn't seem to be connecting?
The 'emergency camp-on' process can take time to connect to another network. Generally, there will be silence on the line while this happens.

If your initial call doesn't connect within around five seconds, hang up and try again immediately.
On subsequent attempts, stay on the line for up to 60 seconds to give your phone the best chance to connect via another network.
All phones are different; if 'emergency camp-on' is available, iPhone will show 'SOS only'. Android will show 'Emergency calls only', 'No service - emergency calls only', or a small SOS icon. If your phone shows 'No service', there is no mobile network coverage available where you are and you will not be able to call 000 using a mobile network.

Rally was much smaller than I would've liked today, somehow our RAHU contingent was almost as big as SALT's extremely small contingent. We did get a big shoutout from one of the organisers, during their speech. So that was great. Credit to Bronte on the photo.

Decent read, conclusion has an issue though. Nostalgia is a socially transferable emotion that can be transferred from older folks who experienced a thing to younger folks who didn't. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Intrapersonal emotion transfer
Researchers have investigated whether nostalgia, and its capacity to supply social connectedness, can be interpersonally transferred [21]. In an experiment, older adults wrote narratives about a nostalgic event and an ordinary event from their past. Subsequently, younger adults read one of the narratives, either nostalgic or ordinary, that one of the older adults had written. The younger adults who read a nostalgic (vs. ordinary) narrative subsequently reported feeling more nostalgic themselves. In other words, the nostalgic sentiment of the older adults was transferred to the younger adults. Moreover, the younger adults who read a nostalgic (vs. ordinary) narrative subsequently evinced greater social connectedness.

Shame, I was looking forward to that. Guess they've got more important things to do re: H5 though.
This was sent to you by Flinders University

 

I regret to inform you that due to unforseen circumstances, the Fearless Conversations - Rethinking Biosecurity in Australia event on 2 September has been cancelled.

There is exciting research being undertaken in this space and we look forward to sharing future updates on this vital work with our Flinders community. We also have more Fearless Conversations planned and will share information about topics and dates as they are confirmed.

The ecoterritorial internationalism is the more positive and interesting stuff. In terms of building modern socialist tendencies. Reclaiming the bottom up approach before the authoritarian, bureaucratic collectivism of Stalinism become the overriding view.
TOWARDS AN ECO-TERRITORIAL INTERNATIONALISM 
Eco-territorial internationalism is a social practice and a form of trans-
national articulation between experiences linked by the impact of socio-environmental conflicts and by the construction of concrete territorial 
alternatives of just transitions in different areas, such as energy (community, 
decentralised and democratic energies), food (agro-ecology and food sover-
eignty), production (workers’ control of production sites) and consumption 
(relocation and solidarity economy), life care or infrastructure and collective 
mobility (dignified and efficient housing, and sustainable ways of moving, 
living and socialising in the city). They are localised experiences, but not 
strictly local because they have acquired what Doreen Massey has called a 
‘global sense of place’.13 As Martin Arboleda has argued, for example, ter-
ritorial struggles against extraction help to show that while the experience 
under capital is fragmented, the effects of certain productive practices lead 
to simultaneous class experiences that reveal the interconnectedness of what 
is produced, how, what for, where and for whom.14
It is a new kind of emerging internationalism that articulates the trans-
versality of the environmental question with what Svampa called the 
eco-territorial turn of social struggles.15 It should recover several legacies 
of the internationalist experiences mentioned above and articulate other 
horizons of eco-social transformation. For example, the alter-globalisation 
movement has taught us how to organise strong and coordinated global 
actions but with territorial autonomy. Denouncing the main capitalist actors 
and the global structure (and not only the impacts of their actions) is some-
thing to be saved. On the other hand, the movement of the squares, despite 
its many contradictions, has shown us the importance of extending the 
space of struggle to sectors of the population that are not …

Got a perfect example of this where I live. 30,000 bats have moved here due to a combination of shifting climate & deforestation. They have also decided to set up their roost right against the back of the zoo, full of intermediary animals for viruses that can't leap directly to humans like Hendra.
