If you would like to join me and my team at the march against violence against women we will meet outside the state library in Melbourne CBD at 945am on Sunday. It’s time for action.

While Musk’s X raises a censorship middle digit to Australia, Facebook & its fellow digital giants continue to moon the tax office, whisking > $1 billion of its $1.34 billion local advertising revenue off to a tax haven last year.

HAPPENING TODAY: Trump's team will argue before the Supreme Court that he is above the law.

It's a BS claim and he knows it, but until SCOTUS rules, his federal criminal conspiracy case is on hold.

He's trying to run out the clock so he can't be convicted before the election.

Her Purplepingers do they also charge you for looking in the mirror twice?

“Sunny room” - my brother in Christ that is a balcony.

Facebook received $1.34B from Australian advertisers this year, shifted $1.14B offshore, reduced its local workforce by 16% and announced it will no longer pay for Australia content posted on its platforms. Where’s the👎 button? #NoSocialLicence #auspol afr.com/companies/medi…

We've apparently reached the 'University arresting its own professors' stage of decline.

I wonder if the consulting firms that help the fossil fuel companies to expand even after the climate crisis has begun will one day face such investigations

Mr. Netanyahu, antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to millions.

Do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government.

Last year, we secured the release of Abigail, a 4-year-old who was being held by Hamas.

She’s remarkable and recovering from unspeakable trauma.

Our time together yesterday was a reminder of the work we have in front of us to secure the release of all remaining hostages.

This sums it up…

‘How many more women have to be beaten to a pulp, strangled, stabbed, shot, drowned or set fire to before Australia gets serious about confronting the many causes behind our rapidly worsening epidemic of gendered violence?’

Australia needs a tax evasion inquiry into Meta/Facebook. ⁦Calum Jaspan⁩ reports Meta shifted $A1.14B (2023) of $A1.34B gross revenues offshore through a “purchase of services” agreement for ad space. This smells. Zuckerberg? Take all you can get and give nothing back.

the coalition has all but abandoned the paris agreement.

its nuclear plan would see all targets missed.

higher costs, higher emissions… and a resulting supply shortfall leading to blackouts.

the longest political suicide note in history.

Australia and Papua New Guinea, walking together, side by side. 🇦🇺🇵🇬

Biden won big this week in the fight against authoritarianism. But with Ukraine uncertain and prospects for a forever war in the Middle East, the world is in turmoil. Can Biden see America through these wars? His re-election may well hinge on it. My essay The Sydney Morning Herald The Age-BW United States Studies Centre.

Well done PM Anthony Albanese for recognising the significance of PNG to the Australia we know today.With New Zealand PNG should stand as our best mates in times of crisis.Your meaningful visit will reinforce our gratitude & hopefully move above the lip service of the past.

Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu has rejected a two-state solution, authorised the killing of thousands in Gaza and if I have a problem with that I’m an antisemite?

I’m pro-Jewish, pro-Palestinian and pro-humanity, as was my father, who spent years in a Nazi POW camp.
