Ed Husic, Labor MP, made some great points on Afternoon Briefing yesterday. "The reason why prices are so high is because we export a phenomenal amount of gas." We can fix supply constraints without opening new gas projects by diverting uncontracted gas to the domestic market.

This is the truth that the National Press Club in Canberra wants stop journalist #ChrisHedges talking about - shame on them and journalists who remain silent and cosies up to power. Hedges is a threat because he speaks #truthtopower
I miss the many Palestinian journalists slaughtered by Israel. Their silenced voices make it unbearably hard to grasp Gaza’s reality. May they rest in peace, and may their killers, complicit in genocide, be investigated and prosecuted without delay.

The leopard changed his spots when given the environment portfolio.

Appalling decision. Why is the ALP so scared of hearing the truth?
The National Press Club shoots the messenger and cancels Chris Hedges, and instead of speaking truth to power, becomes a part of the establishment that it’s meant to hold to account. The Monday Essay from New Politics. #AUSPOL #NPC open.substack.com/pub/newpol…

Who would’ve ever thought we’d hear this from a Labor Government. So very sad - and scary
More than 2 years after the NACC was established, it hasn’t held a single public hearing. Now we learn the PM pushed to make it harder to hold them. Public hearings are vital to building trust - the Govt should be making them easier, not harder. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news…

"My family was never Zionist. Zionism was a movement of European Jews and was intended for them. Zionist leaders were never interested in Jews from the Arab world," Israeli historian Avi Shlaim tells Haaretz haaretz.com/israel-news/2025…

An imperialist theme park? The Australian War Memorial has left its online tributes to Ben Roberts-Smith free of any mention of his murders in Afghanistan. And three years on from committing to address the Frontier Wars, it's done nothing. crikey.com.au/2025/09/26/ben…

In his deprivation syndrome, Mr Abbott is still endeavouring to restore his notoriety, the highlight of his political career, as Dr No
Tony Abbott killed the carbon tax, a an act of destructive populism. He’s urging the Libs to do the same to net zero - utterly indifferent to the future generations who will suffer from climate change. Once a wrecker, always a wrecker.
