Interestingly I’ve never seen this sort of anger towards artwork & attitudes that tries into encourage Palestinian & Israelis to be peaceful to each other, despite a similar power imbalance at play. twitter.com/badiucao/statu

The refusal of combatants to kill each other has always been the basis of an emancipatory response to war. Armies of liberation have always called on the opposition to stop fighting and offered solidarity

A new mural in Melbourne shows a Russian & a Ukrainian soldier hugging & it’s deeply offensive to all Ukrainians. Russia’s war in Ukraine is not a conflict between two nations - it is an invasion. The mural creates a sense of a false equivalency btw the victim & the aggressor 1/5

Hanson doesn’t want the voice because she’s racist, I don’t want the voice because my Elders know it’ll take away their agency. We aren’t the same.

The Voice is very much a Labor party document. Created by assimilated Blacks to get their name in history books whilst erasing the agency of Tribes that disagree with them.
Quote Tweet
Doing politics differently, sinking reconciliation for political gain and trying to tag their brand to the Uluru statement. The Voice isn't about any political party, it's not a Labor party document, it shouldn't be toxified. crikey.com.au/2022/09/01/gre

#Labor are #neoliberal and right wing.
And #Albo is leading the *most* neoliberal & right wing #ALP government this century.
Progressive & self proclaimed “left wing” voters need to stop voting for them, they’re only enabling this crap.

In a matter of days, a third of a country disappeared under water, perhaps permanently, and created 33 million refugees.
This is climate change *now*. Not in 2030, not in 2050. This is the *early* impacts. It gets worse. This is urgent.

Supply lowers prices.
Social housing puts downward pressure on rents, especially the bottom end.
Reduces prices for renters and **buyers**.
What is the argument against social housing? There' s a waiting list!

Okay, so, here's something of an update to this thread from last year, where I looked at Aus' emissions projections and found that they were nowhere near as optimistic as credulously and widely reported (and somehow still reported)
Quote Tweet
The Australian government keeps saying that its own projections show a 35% drop in emissions by 2030 (relative to 2005).
It's a lie. I will quickly explain how it's crafted, because it's really important.

Did you see us in the paper the other day talking about Preston Market?! It’s great to see some candidates committing to protecting the market already, but we need some more concrete assurances from Labor.

One of the most loathsome varieties of grifter are the well paid spinners who pretend to care about people who are disadvantaged while at the same time vigorously arguing the political case for them to stay that way.

Not raising the rate was unjust before the economy went south. Not doing it now is unconscionable. There is no defending it.
