Sad to see news of people killed in Bondi Junction today.
Sad also to see a few lowlifes on X attempt to hijack a tragedy to spout hate & prejudices.
Ours is a diverse community defined by kindness, egalitarianism and antiracism.
Jog on, bigots. Your hate has no place here.
Tonight's #QandA panel:
3 Pro-Israel panelists
1 from the UN
1 Palestinian
To date over 10,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel, but the FIRST Question frames the conversation and comes from a Pro-Israel voice asking about the 240 hostages.
Use a laptop/destop? Today I updated Google Chrome... I was horrified to see that despite my previous settings being as private as possible, Google 'opted me in' to have my web browsing monitored & monetised. I swiftly opted out & you can too!

I don't follow Don.
He's a Novovax evangelist. It's a good vaccine. But, it too wanes and isn't sterilising.
Vaccine ONLY is a failed strategy. Our lack of political interest and the urgency of normal are merely driving more mutations.

Italian friend just sent me these - barrow full of dead birds hit by tennis ball size hail. This what you get when oil companies boil a planet. It’s barely started.

The US military is the world’s largest consumer of fossil fuels & biggest institutional polluter. Our documentary will be an essential intervention in the environmental movement which must confront militarism!

Am I the only person discomforted that #Gladys viewed sympathetically as a woman 'doing right by her man', so all forgiven. 15 million of public money handed to her 'man', plus enabling his corrupt behaviour - and it's ok cuz was done in the name of love! Perverse misogyny?
I really like this informal style of reporting - straight from the work desk, prioritising immediacy over formality. Well done @lachlan_kennedy that’s a lot to digest swiftly and convey in one clip with no edits!
#Breaking: Gladys Berejiklian and Daryl Maguire have found to have engaged in corrupt conduct by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) | @lachlan_kennedy #nswpol @nswicac
Berejiklian was found to have breached public trust by not disclosing her relationship with the former Wagga Wagga MP, particularly while presiding over multi-million dollar grants for his seat, as well as not reporting his suspected corrupt conduct to ICAC.
Maguire was found to have improperly used his office and resources for financial gain for himself, as well as other organisations including the Australian Clay Target Association and the Riverina Conservatorium of Music, both of which are based in Wagga Wagga.
ICAC believes Maguire should face charges by the Department of Public Prosecutions, but not Berejiklian.
“I don’t need to know about that bit…”
Breaking: The NSW ICAC has made serious corrupt conduct findings against former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and former NSW MP Daryl Maguire #auspol #nswpol The full report will be released shortly.

Three truths that keep me masking:
✅Infection might be a big deal for me if I get it (again).
✅My shots don’t protect me from many of the potential harms of infection.
✅Frail/disabled people deserve to participate in daily life, protected by communal effort.

The anti-public health narrative says public health is a trick to restrict ^your^ behavior but it’s a lie.
Public health isn’t about restricting YOU.
It’s about restricting the power of the RICH to profit off HARMING US.
That’s why the elite are so afraid of public health.
Radicals who resent how you live your daily life are coming for your gas stove, your AC, your lawn mower, your plastic bags.
They want to force a lifestyle on you, and show contempt if you disagree. | @NoahCRothman

There aren’t enough yoga classes or picturesque beaches in the world to make up for the growing empathy deficit in the world. You can’t buy wellness. Like so many other things, wellness is actually a community effort, not an individual responsibility.

Today is an historic victory for forest activists in Vic who have campaigned for fifty years to stop the assault on native forests which resulted from onslaught of wood chipping in 1970s. Courageous people who never waivered, I salute you! #auspol
