We are at 1.4C and nature is failing.

So I am asking you once again why you're allowing a handful of multinationals condemn your children and grandchildren to a hellscape future, just so they can "grow shareholder value"

Basically, the Australian political class as a whole is aligned on one central belief - that poor people should be subject to worse laws and treatment than rich people. That’s Centrelink, robodebt, mutual obligations, ndis, all of it.

Tom Studans @maximumwelfare.bsky.social · 6h

A lot of very talented lawyers and legal academics/analysts are easily absorbed trying to understand 'mutual obligations' on its own terms. But the aim is, as in Robodebt, simply to construct a vaguely-deniable parallel rule of law for recipients.

We should just ban the sale of oversized SUVs entirely. Middle class consumers will cry for a bit then find another way to remain in debt slavery.

Racism is structural. Not all white South Africans perpetrate personal racist aggressions, but they all benefited from structural racism set up by colonial invasion. Believing you owned the land props up and excuses structural racism & colonial power. Hope that helps.

It's galling to see the Albo government paint the U16 social media ban as a great success when there are expert organisations working with vulnerable children queuing up to demonstrate how it will make young people less safe online.

Children will suffer as a result of the social media ban.
