Sunday was the world’s hottest day on record. Then Monday beat it. Meanwhile Labor approved further gas exploration in 3 states as the UN sent a clear warning: the wealthiest countries are leading a flood of fossil fuel expansion in a climate crisis.

This Sunday I’m joining the No More: National Rally Against Violence at King George Square – we were also going to host a free BBQ, but BCC had other ideas! Here’s the exorbitant list of hire fees provided to rally organisers, fees no community org should have to cover:

The ICJ has ordered Israel’s gov to end its occupation of Palestinian territories. In a historic report, the court found multiple breaches of international law. This includes policies that violate the prohibition on apartheid.

Racism plain and simple. If Dutton said this about any other minority group it would be the end of him.

Peter Dutton predicts that if the government is returned it will be in minority and "will include the Greens, it'll include green teals, it'll include Muslim candidates from western Sydney, it will be a disaster." #auspol

Don’t let Labor lie to you. “Recognising Palestine as part of a peace process” is not recognising Palestine. It is weasel words to avoid doing what at least 146 other countries have already done: Immediately recognise Palestine without conditions.

Today I’m proud to announce that the Greens will bring a Bill for a Truth and Justice Commission to the parliament. We must tell the truth about the violence and dispossession in this country’s history if we want to heal and close the gap for First Nations people.

The Greens will support Labor’s ‘Build to Rent’ plan if they guarantee 100% of the apartments built under the scheme are affordable with rent caps and linking rent to income. But we won’t support tax handouts to developers just so they can make massive profits jacking up rents.🧵

No, Albo, we aren’t going to make jokes at the expense of the LGBTIQA+ community. The PM should be better than this and should apologise.

Julian Assange will finally be free. While great news, this has been over a decade of his life wasted by US overreach. Journalism is not a crime. Pursuing Assange was anti-democratic, anti-press freedom, and the charges should have been dropped.

Dutton's nuclear "plan" is a fantasy. Labor love this fake fight because it's a distraction from the coal & gas projects they keep approving. Like Tamboran's massive gas project in the Beetaloo Basin, which Labor awarded major project status today.
