AU. Modelling shows gas project emissions will cause hundreds of heat-related deaths. Woodside stated that emissions from the Scarborough project are "negligible" in a global context. New research shows AU can no longer use that as a get-out-of-jail-free card.

For the first time, scientists can show the impact of gas project emissions

Fossil fuel companies and governments have argued it’s not possible to link climate impacts to specific projects, but Australian researchers have done the numbers.

Two Palestinian prisoners: One went home, the other was exiled by Israel

Two families stood waiting in Ramallah, one to welcome their loved one, one to mourn that they may never see theirs.

Today is the anniversary of the Yirrkala Bark Petitions – a powerful act of Yolngu resistance that forced the colonial parliament to reckon with First Peoples’ land rights.

Over the weekend, another young man's life was stolen by the system. At just 30 years old, he died alone inside the walls of Hakea prison.

To his family, I send my love, solidarity, and strength.
We must demand justice for his life taken too soon by this violent system.

Looks like the colonists are piling on Lidia Thorpe again. Even Blind Freddy knew she was using a figure of speech when she said she was prepared to burn the parliament down. Mind you…

The worst part of that op ed - against stiff and plentiful competition - is him calling immigration a "disgraceful vote-stacking operation" (which he immediately contradicts by referencing economic benefits) What's disgraceful FYI Steve Price is making accusations like that with no evidence.

Abbott was so bad as PM that his own socially conservative side of the party were plotting to dump him after less than 18 months - including Hastie's predecessor in Canning the late Don Randall. He's got considerably weirder since.

Why is everyone applauding? Maria Corina Machado is a Venezuelan opposition leader who has demonstrated strong support for Israel and has openly aligned herself with Zionist policies in international affairs. Her party signed a cooperation agreement with Netanyahu's Likud party in 2020

Facebook pulled this for some reason, good reason to post it. Nixon’s AG John Mitchell served 19 months in a minimum security prison. Maybe they can hangout with Ghislaine Maxwell.
