Today’s comic in @australia.theguardian.com - in celebration and defence of Multicultural Australia! I wouldn’t be here without it, and I love it 😻 (but don’t hear that many people cheering it on recently).

How can there be any question that banks should bear any costs associated with credit card fees? They hold our money pay nothing for it and virtually sell it back to us when we need it. Part of their obscene annual profits and dividends.

The climate crisis in one sentence: We have enough food, technology, and money to save the planet. We just have a system where destroying it is more profitable. That's not a climate problem. That's a greed problem. #ClimateJustice

If Hanson "seems more and more like the de facto opposition leader", it's because legacy media - glosses over the racism - avoids testing her 'policies' - ignores disinformation that drives her support, and - rarely mentions PHON's #FarRight links. In short; keeps giving her an easy ride. #auspol

"The last of the free western Democratic Nations- SUPPORT THE ICC & THE RULE OF LAW" I wish we could say the same about the Australian government. But our PM and foreign minister view international law as expendable to their main game: being a doormat for the Trump regime and Israel. #auspol

He's already there. By a long shot. We've had some shockers, but with Albo it's the gap between possibility & reality that hurts the most. Never again will a Labor Gov be given such a massive majority. And he's completely wasted it. #auspol

How'll Australia gaslight Pacific Nations today in the pre-COP talks? How can Labor hold a solar panel in one hand exuding virtue, while in the other hand continue to sign-off new fossil fuel projects and export gas with impunity? Australia can't be trusted www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2026...
thenewdaily.com.au
If climate talks cannot stop new coal and gas, what are they for?
The evidence is all around. Heat, fires, storms and droughts are not warnings of a future threat. They are symptoms of an unfolding crisis.

Paul Keating’s Redfern and War Memorial speeches, written over 30 years ago, remain a powerful indictment of Australia’s failure to reckon with its past and present.
