If Labor was worried about the left, they would stop chasing the Coalition to the right and do something fucking progressive for a change. #auspol

Could you imagine the headlines if 104 Israelis were killed? I highly doubt "fragile" would be the term being used.

A ceasefire is not “fragile” when 104 people are murdered. It is over.

A very serious political response is needed at CO30 in Belem, Brazil to the Paris Agreement NDC Synthesis Report yesterday that collectively these would cut emissions only 17 per cent below the 2019 levels by 2035. It’s not nearly enough.

Palestinians in Gaza know that they’ll never return to the life they once had, Ghada Abdulfattah writes. “People often say here that a cease-fire marks another kind of war—not of weapons, but of suffering.”

Sure, they can't do it legally.

But we've already see them do it illegally around the world to build their LLM's.

And they're just going to keep fucking doing it anyway.

The ABC entered Gaza for the first time since the ceasefire. This is what we saw

For the first time since the ceasefire started, the ABC has gained access to an area in northern Gaza under Israeli military control. This is what we could see from behind the Yellow Line.

Israel has continued to murder Palestinians every day since you proclaimed "the greatest contribution to peace" in the ME when the main perpetrators of the GENOCIDE said "Ceasefire!"

Another 31 including 11 children have just been confirmed killed by the IOF.

Gender-affirming care saves lives. It helps trans and gender diverse people thrive, live with dignity, and be themselves. It should never be used as a political football.

The LNP must immediately reinstate gender-affirming care, and stop playing politics with people’s lives.

The LNP's actions here are truly disgusting, placing young trans folk in the middle of a culture war of their own creation, using them as a public punching bag, and knowingly risking young lives in the process.
