Brilliant! All respect to @edhusicmp.bsky.social for saying this. We need to return to the actual reality. Love the attached parts of this brilliant article.

Shame @tonyburkemp.bsky.social for posting this with both answer and quote turned off. We already have the legacy media doing disinformation all over the country.

Fascinated to find this very accurate description of the state of the Oz democracy at the history hub of sa.gov.au

Seems the atrophy of our institutions is eroding their support. The paragraph below was especially interesting. Outside in open.substack.com/pub/tdunlop/...

Great news …well deserved and a very important connection. Wars over #FossilFuels is NOT effective climate action. We need to ALL take #responsibility for & focus on caring for and preserving land, sea and sky.

Those of us with a history of living in the British Empire has been taught a relatively recent view of the world. Often we forget that everyone has beliefs, interests and values that were learned. I recommend this discussion ( below). Very thought provoking in an era of emerging quantum physics.

Great article by Jack Waterford. A couple of good paragraphs from the article attached.

Fabulous article! Thank you @davemilbo.bsky.social The whole nation is failing because we have not moved forward from our brutal colonial history and STILL cannot build a fair and #just society for all. #auspol

Excellent article. Interesting quote below.

Excellent data. It suggests the #gender inequality extends further than unequal pay but also to supporting social cohesion. 🙏👏👏

With the median income ( half of Australians earn less ) in Australia at $72,794, with men earning more than women, and 25% earning LESS than $47,302 the current divisive reaction to the #tax changes & support for renters needs a reality check. #auspol @jimchalmers.bsky.social

Think this article @michaelwest.com.au.web.brid.gy needs everyone’s attention. We must consider if #government subsidies for #security of one part of the Jewish community results in increased risks for the rest of the population. #auspol @tonyburkemp.bsky.social @auslawreform.bsky.social

Switched from big money #AFL to #NITV to fabulous concert by UB40. Seems somehow appropriate in the current times. 😊

Quote from @suebarrett.bsky.social is a real challenge to the old system. The old two party system is dead in Australia. The media are fostering a state of grievance but no change. The #ClimateCatastrophe remains a huge threat to wellbeing for all but both #Media and most politicians are in denial.

This book needs to be compulsory reading for the Department of Immigration and anyone else involved in ‘social cohesion’ and reducing #racism. #auspol @greens.org.au

Interesting article on The need for #transparency as a component of #government #accountability at public integrity.org.au.

Reconciliation week reading. Seems not much has changed but thankfully our FN people continue to write letters to the #PM. #auspol

This is an excellent example of bad governance and sloppy decision making.

Highly recommended! I especially like the chapter ‘Heatwaves and Hellraisers’ is about the poet Judith Wright’s activism for nature and the environment. She was a friend of my mother’s and I remember writing her a letter when I was about 15 to tell her how proud I was of her.

Reading @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social ‘s book with fascination. It is such a call for changes in our communication system and our society. Highly recommended.

Very alarming.

This is a very comprehensive discussion about the complexity of weaponising one sector of the Jewish community’s version of ‘antisemitism. The quote below is an example.

Think this ANZAC day we might all need to think carefully about how to build social cohesion in Australian communities. This summary of the insights from 2025 conference is useful.

Cheerful front page on Australian - Shock! Plastics short & fertiliser also. Maybe time to replace #FossilFuels based harm with something ‘Net Zero’. Oh no! Foreign cash, from philanthropic charities, driving net zero pressure. But ‘no immigration’ advertisements by someone cashed up at bottom.

I am thinking we ALL need to amplify this message and get @greens.org.au to join in. The best way for people to combat the ‘orange algal bloom’ such as we have had in SA elections is to decide what we will vote FOR and start campaigning now for any #candidates that will work with us. #auspol

Great diagram. We need URGENTLY to #transition to #renewables.

Seems worth deep thought in the Western world at the moment as we face strong pressures for autocracy in government. The quote is telling.

This is interesting! With #government policy dithering & being the major client for #construction industry, lack of #reform manage to #climate #risks exposes local firms to overseas. Particularly difficult for small skilled firms subcontracting. Please make a priority @jimchalmers.bsky.social
