Penny Wong declares that aid workers "must always be protected" and that AUS is about "practical action".
I don't remember any practical action after Israel murdered Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom or the IDF abused humanitarians on the Global Sumud Flotilla. 🤔 #auspol #SanctionIsrael

Kohler on trams

But I think he missed the mark on this opinion piece on trams last week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhzxtR5J7RQ He's missed some of the history, which is vital to understanding where we are now. Let's go through some of what he said. "When Melbourne was laying [...]

Ask any of the men seeking power who want abortion bans what an ectopic pregnancy is, what the treatment is, and what happens without that treatment. They don't even bother to make it their business to know what kills girls & women.

An Intergenerational Report published in the year 2026 that does not list climate change as one of the 6 major transitions for Australia to navigate over the next 40 years is not a serious document.
And no, the energy transition is just a small (and relatively easy) subset of climate's impacts.

New Intergenerational Report from the Australian government thinks disaster funding will just be a nice smooth requirement into the future with only a small difference between "paris aligned" [code for 1.5C, which we know will be exceeded already] and "more than 3C" which would be catastropic. !WTF!
