Steeped in ALP bullshit.

Greg Jericho @grogsgamut.bsky.social · Jun 5

The biggest problem with the ALP right now is it is led by someone who irrationally hates the Greens.

He doesn't really like to "fight Tories"; he loves to fight the party that reveals his actual lack of "left-wing" positions.

Someone needs to tell him to get over his uni politics crap.

A brilliant panel/discussion including the arms dealers/influence peddlers at the NPC, the failure of media/government/institutions/agencies eg. NACC, the ceasefire in Gaza, the Narcissist-in-Chief, and much more.
Congrats to Dave on the major coup of getting Chris Hedges on the show next week!

We’ve been saying this forever. The social media ban will harm kids

LGBTIQA+ advocates are concerned the social media ban will have a significant impact on queer youth in regional and remote areas of Australia. They say there are not enough offline, physical supports for these teens to access when the ban comes into effect.

Leo Puglisi from @6newsau.bsky.social gave evidence to the parliamentary inquiry on the social media age ban - I asked him about the real impacts on young people. This isn't about protection, it's about control. You can't lock kids out of news and social connection and call it safety.

I have to find a way to insulate myself from the world. 18,000 dead Palestinian children, on official numbers. True number probably an order of magnitude higher. No outpouring of grief, no outrage: the press and politican class has decided our lives don't matter.

Scale.

Single frame. Scale. On one side of scale, weighing heavily, a small gold weight marked “OCT 7 2023”. On the other side, much lighter, a huge bag (of sand?) marked “EVERY DAY SINCE.”

Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.

Could a landmark court decision undermine the right to peacefully protest in NSW?

Here’s what protesters will do instead People organising protests in New South Wales could face a tough choice after this week. On Thursday, the NSW court of appeal made a landmark ruling that criminalises attending a “prohibited” protest. It came as part of a judgment that banned a planned pro-Palestine march to the Sydney Opera House scheduled for the weekend. Continue reading...

I always correct factual errors when they come to my attention. The march to the Opera House is actually prohibited in this instance - it would be contempt of court. That's a new ruling, with serious conequences for our democracy and civil liberties.

Fahad Ali @fahad-s-ali.bsky.social · 6d

Palestine Action Group has lost the legal challenge over this Sunday’s march. This does not mean the march is prohibited — it means that it will not have immunity for eg. obstructing traffic.

They should march to the Opera House anyway. Minns made it a symbol, so we should too.
