ADD YOUR NAME ✍️ We will not be divided after Bondi
On Sunday at Bondi we witnessed the appalling consequences of hatred and how it breeds radicalisation and violence. But as the Jewish community and the whole country grieved, some politicians went on ...

7 News Sydney does it again tonight. A hit piece on the PM ‘cause the tragedy of Bondi is all his fault. Balance? What a laugh! All we heard from were the ineffectual and warring Opposition using the tragedy for purely political purposes. Not a government minister in sight. Must be their fault too.

Will the Australian mainstream news media (I'm thinking esp. Ch7 and Ch9) do a report on how Pauline Hanson and James Ashby took advice from the NRA on how to water-down Australia's gun laws in exchange for donations from the gun industry? 🤔 #auspol #BondiBeach #GunLaws

If the last three days demonstrate one thing, it's that the right (via the media) controls the narrative in this country.

Our predicament in a nutshell
In another knee jerk reaction Premier Minns has recalled NSW parliament to further legislate away our rights to protest. Bit by bit our democratic rights are being legislated away under the guise of keeping us safe.
The last time the NSW reacted this way they ended up with egg all over their faces.

Once again today conservative politicians trying to make political capital out of a national tragedy. They seek to divide Australians. A new low for politics.
Thank heavens for the thousands of sensible people saying this national tragedy should bring us together in grief and support.

My heart goes out to the victims of the Bondi tragedy and their families.
I’m disgusted at some politicians trying to make political capital out of it. This is a time when all politicians should be trying to bring Australians together but as usual though there are those who continue to divide us.

The Albanese gov’t has backed away from regulating AI companies. Looks very much like there’s been some lobbying going on by big tech. Not a good look and once more the big end of town gets its way. Here’s another example of who they’re governing for.

The mood in Sydney today. Crashing thunder, hail more than rain and collapsed trees but these things do not deter XR, Drum Rebellion, Knitting Nannas and Bob Brown Foundation. They added to the “wind” near NSW Parliament House today.

A storm disaster in Sydney today. Just another report among others almost nightly from here and overseas. Of course no mention of Climate Change causing all these disasters. Gee, it’s almost like they’ve been told not to mention it.

Australian Parliamentary Enquiry into the South Australian Algal Bloom disaster just shows how ill prepared our governments are for future climate disasters. Get off your backsides people and start thinking about our future. Forget the next election, this is about our future.

Good comment by Michelle Grattan on #Liberals decision to drop #NetZero. My view is they are run by Christian Right who believe God alone is in charge of Climate and he will call them to fix it when he is ready.

By dumping net zero, Liberals are thumbing their noses at voters
The Liberals' decision to walk away from a commitment to net zero is ill-judged and politically dangerous. It’s also unnecessary.

Oil and gas giant Inpex has admitted to srsly under-reporting its cancer-causing pollution (incl. benzene, sulphur dioxide & hydrogen sulphide) just days before a major oil spill at their Darwin gas plant. Inpex is a major gas exporter. Last year they paid no royalties and no resource tax! #auspol
