"In very simple terms, the stadium is too big for the site and the benefits it will bring are significantly outweighed by the disbenefits it creates." #politas Long process arrives at conclusion that is blindingly obvious to anyone without blinkers on.

Spot on, Nick Feik. I don't know why people are obsessing over whether Labor said 60% or 70% or any other percentage. It's bullshit all the way down. We have no serious plan to reduce real emissions domestically or to scale back fossil fuel exports.

"Convention says if the president has to cast a deciding vote, they will vote in the negative." How serious is that #politas convention? It's also convention for Labor politicians to be expelled from the party if they vote against their colleagues... abc.net.au/news/2025-09-1…

Over the last 5+ years, the COVID-fighting “toolkit” should’ve expanded, not narrowed. Now, RFK Jr's attacks on the COVID vaccines throw into harsh relief the reality that we only have one "tool" left. Where is the institutional mitigation? My latest: thegauntlet.news/p/with-rfks-at…

We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was: a man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted Black Americans the right to vote was a “mistake,” who after the violent attack on Paul Pelosi claimed that “some amazing patriot out there” should bail out his assailant, and

Fundamentally, the reason I avoid Covid is because all - all - of the elements of my life that bring me joy and fulfillment rest on my cardiovascular fitness and / or my cognition. I'm not going to risk a virus wrecking that, as I've seen happen to way too many people I know.

🚨ANOTHER OFFSHORE GAS PROJECT UNDER LABOR🚨 First Labor let gas giants mine right next to the iconic 12 Apostles. Now there’s another drilling project being planned a little further west along the Great Ocean Road which could start in April next year! 😠

Just awful, horrific news. Another cyclist killed by truck on Melbourne’s streets -this time in my neighbourhood of Kensington. We need safer streets for bike riders & pedestrians. Too often the Govt treats it as afterthought. This is about people’s lives 7news.com.au/news/cyclist-k…

The #politas Legislative Council just passed my motion drawing attention to national and state climate risk assessments, & calling for a stronger Climate Act - to keep Tasmanians safe, protect our environment & economy. The vote: 10 ayes, 4 noes. Every Liberal voted against.

Incredible talk here at the #UNGA80 #indoorair call to action from our very own Violet Affleck! Reminding us that #longcovid affects all of us, the #covid19 pandemic is ongoing and we have failed to protect our children. Thank you, Violet, for speaking the truth to this room 🙏🏻

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks & clean air at the UN today!

Mahmoud Khalil was thrown in prison for 3 months for protesting Gaza and the day ABC pulled Kimmel off the air (for two eps!) a judge upheld Khalil’s deportation. Rümeysa Öztürk was kidnapped off the street and imprisoned for writing an op-ed on Gaza. I feel like I’m going insane
