This👇is so on brand for the Liberals

Case Muzzled. Court strikes out injured coal miner, backs BHP - Michael West BHP has won sweeping suppression orders against coal miner Simon Turner after a court threw out the miner's case.

Judge muzzles Simon Turner coalminer case against BHP - then throws it out. Court transcripts don't materialise.

The government knows climate disasters are escalating - but today Labor announced a target of 62-70% by 2035.

It’s weak, it’s dangerous, and it’s nowhere near what the science demands.

Why are we spending $130 million on a Royal Commission into antisemitism, but nothing to tackle Islamophobia or any other form of racism? Do some lives matter more than others? #auspol

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

The mood in Sydney today. Crashing thunder, hail more than rain and collapsed trees but these things do not deter XR, Drum Rebellion, Knitting Nannas and Bob Brown Foundation. They added to the “wind” near NSW Parliament House today.

Conservatism, denial and the climate crisis: why short-term thinking is holding us back Human societies are generally conservative, averse to substantial change – and they are getting in the way of the necessary intervention on climate change and emissions reduction.

Climate change isn’t a matter of opinion – it’s evidence. But conservative denial and short-term thinking are still blocking urgent action. If we keep ignoring the long term, our grandchildren will pay the price.

Enshittification of our ABC News continues. Listening to ABC Radio Perth every news bulletin includes (unsupported by facts or evidence) ridiculous & laughable claims by LNP. Now quoting “LNP are better economic managers”.

ABC *repeats* them without factchecks, qualification or counter information

Albanese steps in to hash out environment law deal with Greens Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is now in direct negotiations with the Greens and a deal is expected to be inked by the end of the day.

Here’s hoping this is a great thing… It sure would be a fabulous way to end the year! Real nature protection laws instead of a giant step backwards and a free kick to #gas & #mining! @afr #auspol

Making First Nations prisoners visible in Labor politics Despite Western Australian Labor’s rhetoric on equality and Closing the Gap, incarcerated First Nations people remain politically invisible. Without formal representation and lived-experience voices in party deliberations, meaningful reform is impossible. The 2027 State Labor Conference is the moment to change that.

Incarcerated First Nations people remain politically invisible in WA – and that invisibility is driving the state’s incarceration crisis.
Real reform demands lived-experience voices.

The Death House The genocide in Gaza is not a freakish anomaly. It is a harbinger of what awaits us as the ecosystem disintegrates and governments embrace climate fascism.
