screenshot of Minister watt's media release. Text captured says: Recognising Threatened Species Day 7 September 2025 Today is Threatened Species Day, an opportunity to acknowledge the risks to Australia’s unique species and the work being done across the country to help them recover and thrive. From tree plantings and weed removal to species specific mapping and monitoring using the latest conservation technology, countless individuals and organisations help every day to support and provide hope for threatened species. It’s not just the work happening on the ground – research is finding innovative solutions to stay ahead of the game in the fight against key threats like feral cats, invasive weeds and climate change.

#Israel kills Palestinians in Gaza and has announced it will not abide by the terms for facilitating humanitarian aid, despite the #ceasefire agreement. This is reported by various news sites. Nothing on Australia's ABC News re this. Do they have a blanket rule: no negative reports re Israel? #Gaza

Anyway, this is just pre-emptive bitch in case the PM forces Chalmers to negotiate with the Libs over superannuation rather than just band with the Greens & pass the bill as is.

Grow up and use the Greens to pass the policies you want.

(Prob tho, when the PM prefers politics to policy)

Secunder Kermani: "For Palestinians these were hostages too"

In the next breath Kermani reports they were held in prison without charge or trial. Held indefinitely without charge, trial or evidence against them. So stop hiding behind 'For Palestinains..." & call them hostages.

We're supposed to completely forget what's been happening in Palestine since 1948. That Netanyahu was associated with Hamas prior to Oct 7. That US/UK supplied billions $ in weapons used in a genocide. That Netanyahu could have done a deal prior 😢 #auspol

Blair took us to war on a lie, a war that killed a million Iraqis & destabilised the entire region. And the reason he's now being touted for a role governing Gaza (and allowed to swan around the world making millions from dictators) is because there's been no accountability #GMB
