Oh and I passed my PhD, so there’s that. Some minor corrections needed which I hope to process over Easter. If anyone’s interested the archive website is here: splintersarchive.anu.edu.au

That’s called playing semantics, like pretending that the F35 parts we manufacture for Israel don’t contribute to killing people.

"Populists now use devotion to the Australian flag as a test of patriotism. They accuse those who raise questions about Australian symbols as being elites with contempt for the values of ordinary people." Patriotic tropes are also used to enforce unity and suppress dissent - "love it or leave it".

No doubt the sudden frequent use of the word “patriotism” by ALP a deliberate ploy to reclaim the term from the wingnuts.

Australia must brace for clusters of natural disasters, not just isolated fires and floods
Extreme weather events are increasingly coming in waves, giving communities just days or hours to recover before the next disaster hits.

After the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, rather than political point scoring, Labor Oppn Leader Kim Beazley & Democrats Leader Cheryl Kernot supported Liberal PM John Howard, incl. his gun reforms. In 2025, after the #BondiBeachAttack, Oppn Leader Sussan Ley is attacking PM Anthony Albanese. 😔 #auspol

Intervene or run and hide: what should you do during public violence like the attacks at Bondi?
Ahmed al Ahmed’s actions almost certainly saved lives, but does bystander intervention go against official advice during mass violence events?

Strong argument at @alhr.bsky.social that a key missing element in protecting a healthy environment would be a Human Rights Act in Australia - this is core work for us and we will be pushing for meaningful progress on it in 2026. This can’t wait.
