.@larissawaters @davidshoebridge and @NickMcKim reading just some of the names and ages of the thousands of children who have been killed by Israel’s genocide. Heartbreaking and horrific 💔🇵🇸
A wise man once told me that trying to learn about political economy and economic history in an economics department is like trying to learn about atheism in the Catholic church.
🙏🏽 @WilkieMP As usual your moral clarity shines through. This is a human catastrophe. Hard to believe any decent human being can justify it as revealed in all its horror. A small group of extreme politicians backed by the US responsible. They seem even to lack support in Israel
17,000 children have been killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza since 7 Oct 23. Today I joined a vigil held by human rights groups & the Palestinian community to read aloud names of some of these children. The Aus govt must take decisive action to end the genocide. #auspol #politas
Wonder if Japan will have a press release saying "what the f&^k is he talking about" LOL. hopefully a positive step forward.
England's social care dominated by private equity & corporations. 2011-2023: 804 out of the 816 adult care homes closed by regulators were for profit. Profit margins of up to 35%-40%, little left for core services. When will Govt end profiteering? Watch the Minister's reply.

The B61-12 is a modernized, variable-yield tactical nuclear bomb designed for precision and compatibility with aircraft like the F-35A, which are based at Lakenheath.
BREAKING: US nuclear weapons have reportedly arrived on British soil for the first time in almost two decades. Reports indicate that several B61-12 thermonuclear gravity bombs were received at RAF Lakenheath, in Suffolk. Britain is now a US nuclear base.
@JoYohana it's about political will! Or in most cases, political won't!

#RaiseTheRate ending poverty is the most important social policy that will have the greatest impact on health and wellbeing outcomes. Why do academics and politicians not want to look after people? They have the statistics. They know the facts. They know #PovertyKills. #auspol

“This restructuring can be understood as a coherent and potent neoliberal project, meticulously designed to reorder American capitalism around the central tenets of maximizing corporate power and diminishing the role of the state in social welfare.” utahvanguard.medium.com/a-bipartisan-n…
Our #NewReport finds that the 2035 climate target soon to be set by the Australian Government is more than a number: it is a statement of who we are, what we value, & what kind of future we are willing to fight for. A stronger target means a safer future. climatecouncil.org.au/resources/why-…
