It is a colossal political failure to have encouraged the UAE to buy up swathes of the British economy and prized cultural assets like Manchester City while evidence of its greed and brutality and contempt for the rule of law was all around. Two @fairsqprojects.bsky.social reports worth reading 👇

The biggest coal mine expansion ever proposed in NSW has been approved by the Minns government. It threatens to wipe out Australia's emissions reductions. This is a major test for Anthony Albanese and Murray Watt; they cannot provide federal approval to a project of this scale.

This is gross. But we know who Albo did this for. NewsCorp, 7west and NineEntertainment who will all excitingly salivate at the picture. It's the same reason the media orgs don't question AUKUS or our participation in the war with Iran. They are all the way with the USA.

Australia's largest contribution to the climate crisis - by some distance - is our production and export of coal and gas. While there are other things that are important as well if you forget to fight this, what are you fighting for? See here: naruresearch.com.au/australias-t...

Australia’s offshore detention policy has caused profound harm to people seeking refuge since its introduction 25 years ago. Rather than abiding by its int'l legal obligations, Australia has hardened its abusive policies, contributing to a global erosion of refugee law. www.hrw.org/news/2026/09...

The one thing that bothers me most about this Carbon Credit debate within the Greens. I doubt it moves a single voter whichever way they vote. Everyone I've mentioned this debate to has looked thoroughly bored. On the other hand they have all brought up Trump's promise of $5000 dollar cheques.

Formalising the NSW Government's commitment not to sell offsets created by the INFM method to coal and gas companies is such an egregiously low bar that it is genuinely astounding to see the federal Government somehow hit its head on it.

Yes, it’s a good strategic position to reward people for making a step in the right direction. Saying that, the only people who *actually* make the perfect the enemy of the good are the ones who have to be dragged kicking and screaming to a good position from a bad one.

Which one is Scott Morrison speaking to press in the midst of the 2020 Australian bushfires? Which one is Anthony Albanese speaking to press after the 2026 Nepal floods?
"There have been a lot of provocative comments made [about climate change] over the last few days from all sides of the debate and I find it very unhelpful. There is a time and a place to debate controversial issues and important issues, right now it's important to focus on the needs of Australians who need our help”


“There will be time to examine the science and what has occurred here. My thoughts are solely focused, at this point in time, on the families and on the extraordinarily difficult time that we’re going through and offering our support….those debates will take place. But I don't think, from Australia's perspective, now's the time”

A lot of people responding with some variation of shock that people who the "Holocaust" happened to would act like thisthis. But as @eyshe.bsky.social and I's forthcoming volume illustrates (not to mention a large academic literature), the Nazi Holocaust is not the Basis of Zionism or Israel.
