Watching African women & men fighting to save humanity & the int'l legal system against the ruthless attacks supported/enabled by most of the West will remain one of the defining images of our time. This will make history whatever happens.

Today we saw confirmation of what we already suspected. AUKUS is a plan to turn Perth into another satellite base of the US military industrial complex. We must say not here, not now, not ever. #AUKUS

Joint statement with Greens NSW Justice spokesperson @SueHigginson_ on the shameful police crackdown on peaceful pro-Palestinian protestors at Port Botany.
Solidarity with all who took peaceful action last night: thank you for your courage and moral clarity. #freepalestine
Disingenuous to call this a public transport project. It’s primarily a road project. No substantial benefits to public transport travel times. Nil station planning. Major disruption due to 1.5 year + shutdown of an entire rail line. Let’s sit and watch the PR go into overdrive.

Published today, CWANZ finds cycling rates are lower now than in 2011.
It's not all doom and gloom though. We know what works to increase cycling!
Cycling and walking can be part of the solution to many problems!
