Israel has destroyed its global reputation. It’s brutal machinations not only illegal, amoral and unforgivable but also self defeating.
Israel’s popularity at historic lows

Solar can coexist with farming.
Solar panels can provide shelter for grazing animals. Certain crops thrive in semi shelter where solar panels act as a microclimate buffer.

USA remains the most dangerous and aggressive nation in the world. The world could do without war mongering nations such as Russia USA Israel. USA has been engaged in major conflicts for around 50 of the 80 years since the end of WW2.

Ants are amazing. In these pics a few ants are carrying a small silver candy cake decoration up a vertical wall face in a coordinated effort. One ant is off to the side. The foreman??

Eisenhower understood the threat posed by the military industrial complex. It is currently on track to bankrupt the USA morally and financially while sociopaths like Hegseth enrich themselves.

Why we need immediate and widespread condemnation of the illegal attack on Venezuela.
Failure to condemn Hitlers annexation of Austria emboldened him leading to the invasion of Poland and WWII

History suggests we need a vigorous and ubiquitous condemnation of the attack on Venezuela.
Subdued response to Hitlers invasion of Austria embolden him leading to invasion of Poland and WWII

CSG knew the Bondi event would pose a high security risk. The police were informed but failed to act on the CSG advice. Were the organisers of the Bondi event also warned of the high risk by CSG? If so did the organisers fail to act on the advice? If not why didn’t CSG warn the organisers?
CSG claim police failed to heed a warning about the Bondi event posting a high security risk

Unfettered capitalism existed in the late 1800s. Unionism borne of the dire working conditions of the era. Neoliberalism was embraced in the 1980s. An economic ‘theory’ literally invented by capitalists with the express purpose of dismantling the necessary checks and balances. It has succeeded.
Describes the rise of unionism as a response to the dire working conditions of the late 1800s.

This is ridiculous. Israel is solely responsible for the strain in its relationships not just with Australia but globally. Netanyahu is a deluded, desperate and despicable despot. Australian response in fact too little too late.

The embracer of ‘neoliberalism’. An economic ideology concocted by think tanks funded by the wealthy that aimed to redistribute wealth to the elites at the expense of the masses. Has been all downhill since. Wealth inequality now through the roof. Trump the end result of neoliberalism.

The turning point for democracies of USA UK and AUS was the Reagan Thatcher era. The introduction of neoliberalism, an economic ‘theory’ concocted by the self motivated wealthy, embraced by conservatives and heavily promoted by Murdoch press. The results were as intended:

Did you read the article? You understand why he opposed this development? As did the local ALP councillor as did a town planner from Griffith university. Criticism of his opposition to this dodgy development is as the town planner stated ‘disingenuous’.

This approach should apply to all our resources. Palmer Rinehart Forest and the multinationals are ripping us off and both major parties up till now seem ok with this. This fabricated idea of ‘sovereign risk’ if we dared demand a bigger share of the bounty is total BS. Look at Norway:

Effectively first home buyers have become slaves to the money lenders, a large % of wages consumed on interest on ever increasing home loans. Crazy house prices are destroying living standards and devaluing the worth of money. This graph says it all. The trajectory is unsustainable.

It’s important to recognise the deliberate intention of neoliberalism in systematically unwinding the policy initiatives introduced in the early 1900s to counter wealth inequality. It’s tragic that it has come to this again.

Inequality in USA has reached early 1900’s levels - the robber barren era. Effective legislation was introduced leading to a golden era (esp for the middle class). Enter Reagan’s Neoliberalism - the brainchild of wealthy elites.

Neoliberalism was just another elitist economic con job. The start of the decline in those Western economies that embraced it.

Right wing authoritarians rely on ignorance and anger for votes. Cost of living crises a fertile source of anger which they channel to scapegoats to create division and further anger. Rise of fascism an indicator of failed economic policy. People were content in the 1980s. Before neoliberalism.
