The homes of a quarter of the animals that live in our oceans. Gone forever.

We should grieve & know that these tipping points are gonna fall like dominoes.

Now is not the time for ‘carrying on as normal’.

All our homes are at risk.

Planet’s first catastrophic climate tipping point reached, report says, with coral reefs facing ‘widespread dieback’

Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C ‘as fast as possible’, warm water coral reefs will not remain ‘at any meaningful scale’, a report by 160 scientists from 23 countries warns

Poverty has always been a blame game. Temperance societies used to blame drink for poverty instead of chronic sickness, low pay et al because it suited their pisspuffin agenda and suited their funders who were often the people responsible for the chronic sickness and low pay.

Hopefully he'll be dragged before the Hague for funding and continuing a genocide and the rest of us can cheer that.

In Australia we have a deficit of morality when ff companies are given free reign and the super off the wealthy cannot be taxed 3 percent
Now it's fine to use super as a tax avoidance scheme.

Albanese is gutless. His fingerprints are absolutely all over this. It was good policy and now it's nothing but a damp squib. Chalmers will tow the line and say all the right things but inwardly he must be pissed off. #auspol

Chalmers wielded the axe on his super tax, but the PM's fingerprints were obvious

The treasurer has never been afraid to venture beyond his prime minister with his tax reform ambitions, but on superannuation, he has been pulled into line.

While we're supposed to be overjoyed at Trump's "success" at ending a genocide the US funded. He, Netanuahu and all those politicians who supported genocide including our own, should be behind bars if there was any justice in this world.

Jim Chalmers' super tax compromise proves Labor is a party that's in office, but not in power

Labor has finally capped superannuation tax concessions, but still given in to a scare campaign waged by vested interests. It's the sign of a timid government worried about a giant industry.
