This has been an open secret in Australia for some time, with the federal government going to great lengths to *appear* as if they have effective climate policy, while rubber stamping mine after mine. It's disgraceful, and they are not held to account for it.

This is rare: a mainstream journo - an ex-Murdoch one at that - acknowledging that "inequality and concentrated wealth" may be an issue for voters. Instead of the usual 'cost-of-living crisis' euphemism. If Shoebridge is having that impact already, it's a useful start to his leadership. #auspol

Genocide supporters are real life ghouls. They revel in cruelty and abuse, they get satisfaction from torturing and dehumanizing others. They’ll cheer mass murder in Palestine, Ukraine, or anywhere else the moment they feel safe to publicly indulge that cruelty.
A collage of images juxtaposing political leaders with the devastating human toll of war.
The top half contains three prominent color portraits of political figures: Russian President Vladimir Putin on the left in a dark suit with a red tie, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the center with a dark suit and red tie, and U.S. President Donald Trump on the right smiling in a dark suit and red tie in front of an American flag. Interspersed between and around these portraits are smaller, grim photos showing destroyed concrete buildings, rubble, crying civilians, and an injured baby.
The bottom half consists of three large aerial photographs depicting mass casualties: the left shows rows of blue body bags laid out on dirt ground next to a military encampment; the middle shows white-shrouded bodies lined up in the sand surrounded by people; the right shows a massive grid of open graves dug into a hillside with crowds of onlookers gathered around them.
