Dan’s Federal Court date has been changed to October 16. The family is hoping that Attorney-General @MRowlandMP will have read through the legal team’s submission, Saffrine’s letter and all the letters from Dan’s supporters and come to the conclusion that Dan should be set free.…

Another day in Gaza and in the heroic IDF’s war on Palestinian children. Here a 17 year old boy weighing just 25 kilos. A pariah state, run by ethnonationalists, religious fanatics and settler extremists, Israel is using its army to enforce a famine. Just like the Warsaw Ghetto.

"The alarming deterioration in transparency is deeply troubling," says Geoffrey Watson, whose Centre for Public Integrity compiled the figures. "With the Albanese govs supermajority, the risk of entrenched secrecy becomes greater, undermining democratic accountability." #auspol

Worth clarifying: I'm told Australia is *not* making any additional direct payments into the UK submarine industrial base (beyond the $4.6 billion already promised to expand production capacity + deliver reactors for SSN-Aukus + help fund design costs) under this pact

I have never felt so shaken. Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch. How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation…

Australia and the UK are longstanding partners and we're working together with renewed purpose to advance our shared interests. Fantastic to welcome @DavidLammy to Sydney ahead of the Australia-UK Ministerial Consultations (AUKMIN) as we continue this work.

France will become the 148th country of the UN’s 193 members to recognise Palestine as a state. Labor has no excuse not to implement its policy on recognition unless it continues to put Israel and Trump before decency and leadership. No more excuses do the right thing!

This is just what we need, but even faster. Vietnam setting bans on gasoline motorcycles next year (in downtown Hanoi), followed by cars Ultimately, 72 million gasoline motorcycles will be banned, plus gasoline cars. electrek.co/2025/07/20/vie…

Australia is deeply concerned by escalating tensions across the Thai-Cambodian border, including reports of injuries and loss of life. We urge both sides to de-escalate and resolve border issues peacefully.

"Leave fossil fuels in the ground. It's so simple.This is the most important predicament humanity has ever faced and by design as a result of the enormous oppressive power of the fossil fuel industry, we're flunking it." George Monbiot. No time to waste. #ActOnClimate

Thanks for acknowledging that “power” comes from the sun filtered through earth’s thin biosphere Elon. Now please tell Trump that destabilising our biosphere with excessive CO2 emissions will destroy the US economy (and sustainable life on earth). Mars is not an option.
