In NSW, white supremacist neo-nazis are allowed to run free with their hate, racism and anti-semitism, while those standing up for justice for Palestine are relentlessly attacked, policed and vilified.
Shame on the Minns Labor government.

Earlier this week, Senator @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social introduced a bill to the Senate that’d force universities to divest from fossil fuels, weapons, and gambling.
This is what some of us who have been campaigning on this issue think at Monash, UQ, and UniMelb.

Today our End Dirty Uni Partnerships Bill will be debated in the Senate.
The bill comes at a pertinent time—climate crisis escalates, fossil fuel companies record mammoth profits, and weapons manufacturers pocket billions while people are slaughtered in their thousands by their war machines.

Things keep going from bad to worse for horses in the racing industry yet the media, politicians and their mates in toxic gambling companies continue to pretend everything is okay. This is a stain on our nation.

We need to talk about Sudan.
After more than 18 months of an inhumane siege and starvation in El Fasher, the RSF militia are committing mass killings of civilians on an unimaginable scale.
There is so much blood it can be seen from space.

Another day, another set of governance failures at our universities. If it wasn't clear already, it should be now: we need an overhaul of university governance, otherwise staff, students and the wider community will keep paying the price.

In the last hour, the brave humanitarians aboard the Freedom Flotilla, which includes at least one Australian, Madeleine Habib, have reported being surrounded and intercepted by the Israeli military in international waters.
This is direct contravention of international law.

Australia’s recognition of Palestine at the UN shows political pressure works. This only happened because hundreds of thousands of people marched for Palestine for two years, week after week.
