“Far too much money, information technology, & weaponry have been allowed to concentrate into the hands of the few, and that unchecked power has deranged our elites, (& the duopoly) goading them to take risks that put our societies & countless species in existential peril.” We need change #Auspol

Excellent article. The continuation of this appointment is actually causing outrage. Long after it is clear that special privileges here for a sector of one community because they are committed to #genocide and war #crimes is shameful it continues. #auspol

"America’s military saturation of Australia is a direct threat to Australian sovereignty – not as an abstract word in a treaty, but as the ordinary right of people in this country to decide what is done in their name, on their land, and with their lives."

This is the leader we need - a person who is objective about Australia and who wants Australians to be the beneficiaries of Australia's wealth. No yelling, no anger, open to solutions rather than kowtowing to greedy corporates and billionaires. #IStandWithShoebridge

David many of us right behind you. Many viscerally share your position on ending AUKUS and the US alliance (there is a direct way to do this btw) but your stance on Ukraine is flawed. This is not about non violence. Ukraine is not fighting for adventure they are fighting for survival.

I voted against the last proposal for party elections for leader. The whole idea buys into the myth of the party as a person and not a movement. At the end of the day there are dozens of opportunities to feed into party decisions. The Greens don't need to make the same mistake as the Dems or Labor.

Great read. Infrastructure upgrades have been brilliant, but rarely get kudos, e.g. 85 level-crossing removals, 50 rebuilt stations. Hope Victoria doesn't screw up: easy to whinge, hard to repair the always Liberal-led destruction of public resources. Kennett's unforgivable vandalism still hurts.

We watched 42 7.30 interviews and one of the things we noticed was the language used to describe certain atrocities. The strongest and most graphic language was exclusively reserved for describing the killing of Israelis, a pattern we see in newsrooms around the world.

"ABC's 7.30 aired 24 interviews with Israelis, almost all of them broadly supportive of Netanyahu. In other words, not only were Israeli perspectives aired six times as often as Russians - they were overwhelmingly pro-government. In contrast, Russian perspectives were overwhelmingly anti-government"
