I appreciated your saying that every woman you know will have a story... even at over 60, and far, far away from America, hearing/reading about the Cornell 7 had me wondering if now was the time to tell some of my stories.

My kids have measles, I can’t afford diesel, I lost my job, and my country just lost a war to Iran. But at least now I can watch firing squad executions on TV.

The prominence here and other social media of the Cornell 7 case has me wondering if I should tell some stories. I have some stories... but is this the time to tell these stories? Will this help anyone? or will it only hurt my friends' hearts?

The fossil industry has simple motives: maximising fossil fuel combustion (more that = more $) Climate is simple too: the more combustion, the worse it gets (more so for each new tonne burned) so...the fossil industry supports the things that make climate change (and our lives) worse, consistently

"he came straight out of the blocks with over-the-top rhetoric...and a strident left-wing economic agenda." Shoebridge is labelled "over-the-top", "strident" and "radical" because he's a challenge to the cosy toxic centrist neoliberal consensus of Australia's political and media class. #auspol

Only quibble here is the headline: the algal bloom was not "mysterious". It was another event exacerbated by climate change driven by burning fossil fuels. Government officials were also aware within the first months that hundreds of thousands of marine animals had been killed in the bloom.

Labor backbenchers have been out in force the past few days spruiking "increases" in Centrelink payments. To be very, very clear: this is absolute bullshit. This is an automatic CPI adjustment, not an increase. Labor is still keeping people on income support in poverty.

Today there is (yet another) senate inquiry hearing that will receive evidence about the extraordinary harm caused by compulsory income control programs. We know the government has no evidence that people want to be forced to use the BasicsCard. If the evidence existed, they would publish it.
