Sometimes politics just feels like a bunch of 20th century thinkers trying to solve 21st century problems by taking us all back to the 19th century.

In a new poll of 2,045 people conducted by Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology Sydney, 54% said they were concerned about US interference in Australia, a jump of nearly 20 points since 2021. #auspol #USpolitics #China
Australians are markedly more worried about the US, but still wary about China
Australians' concerns and mistrust of China are easing, while doubts about the US are increasing.

If you want a picture of what the far right hopes to achieve with weaponizing society against queer people this way then look to Russia.
Putin used/uses this playbook but he knows it's bullshit, he just wants to be Catherine the Great the second. And so queer people and feminism has got to go.

If you were concerned about teachers “grooming” kids by acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people, but you’re fine with the GOP hiding the Epstein Files and a president whose name is all over them, you’ve acknowledged what the rest of us have always known….
It was never about protecting. kids.

Religion is not more or less moral. Theocracies can be extremely abusive forms of governance because they believe themselves to be moral, righteous, and superior.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Look, renewables have already won #auspol. There's no pushing that Jack back in its box. Especially with East Asia's heavy investment. India and China alone make up 36% of the world. Fossil Fuels are just trying to slow down their decline as much as possible and for as long as possible.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

Fifty years after the dismissal of #Whitlam, it is a national disgrace that the full story is still yet to be told, as more than a thousand files relating to the dismissal remain closed by the National Archives of Australia. @palaceletters #auspol
Whitlam dismissal secrets unearthed from the archives of the Canadian governor-general
This newly uncovered material, exclusively published by Crikey, is the first indication from Sir John Kerr himself that Queen Elizabeth II approved of the position he had taken during his dismissal of Gough Whitlam.
