Nike has cancelled fmr AOTY Grace Tame as a brand ambassador because of pro-Palestinian posts?! So, Nike opposes human rights and supports genocide?! Good to know. #IStandWithGrace #BoycottNike #RecognisePalestine #FreePalestine

Labor doing the bidding for the toxic Tasmanian salmon industry has made the EPBC worse than it was under Scomo and the LNP. That’s quite an achievement!

We’re one of the world’s largest gas exporters. That we have to import gas is irrefutable evidence the Lib/Lab duopoly are totally capture by the gas cartel and are putting other countries’ interests first. #GasReservationPolicy #AustraliaFirst #auspol
Time’s up? LNG imports destined for Australia next year
After years of warnings, importing gas looks to be the only way left to head off an energy shortfall in Victoria, a move likened to “importing sand to the Sahara”.

Peter Dutton has just announced free lunches for business leaders but he does not support free TAFE for everyone else. It seems he has no problem with tax payer funded free stuff so long as it’s just for bosses.

An update on this: the Bishop confirms his priests did get JobKeeper during COVID (even though his lawyers argue in another context they aren’t technically employed by the diocese and therefore the diocese isn’t vicariously liable if they abused children) because churches closed during lockdowns.
A question for Bishop Bird, of Ballarat, who instructed his lawyers to go all the way to High Court to avoid paying damages to a complainant of child sexual abuse on basis that priests aren’t technically employed by his diocese:
Did your priests accept JobKeeper during COVID pandemic?
If so, why?

In 2016 when I started working intensively on orange-bellied parrots there were only 3 females & 14 males left in the wild - today there’s many more.

NDIS/NDIA seems to be morphing into a new #RoboDebt, with automated form letters & falsely recovering $$ from participants. Kicking people off the scheme while acknowledging there are no alternatives in place yet (or ever?) is pathetic & cruel.

Exclusive: Children targeted in NDIS crackdown
Despite claims the government’s reform of the National Disability Insurance Scheme is focused on fraud, a third of the savings will come from pushing children off the scheme.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
