We’re having huge problems as a country yet our investment in research as a % of GDP is at a record low. We have to turn this around and invest in CSIRO and science more broadly in 🇦🇺. region.com.au/give-csiro-sta…

Australia leads the world in mammal extinctions, but the govt could let the Saving Native Species Program fall off a funding cliff on 30 June. This is the program fighting invasive species like the yellow crazy ants, and protecting endangered species like the Koala. You can't do long-term conservation work on short-term funding cycles, and a one-year Band-Aid won't cut it. We re part of nature and if nature goes down, we go down with her. news.com.au/national/polit…

A coward Israeli only doing what he does because he knows they can’t retaliate. Pathetic.

On The Daily Show, Trevor Noah was asked by an American teacher: what’s the difference between apartheid in South Africa and racism in the United States?

Pay attention people

Not a dry eye!

Spot on

Trump spent years in a jealous rage, relentlessly slamming Barack Obama for unfreezing $1.7 billion of Iran's own money to Iran, calling it pathetic ransom money and proof of a disastrous, weak-kneed surrender. Driven by petty obsession, Trump spitefully ripped up the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, shredding every restraint on Tehran, and smugly promised the world a "better deal." Instead, his childish vendetta supercharged Iran's nuclear program, pushing it dangerously close to the bomb. Now, in a breathtaking display of hypocrisy and failure, Trump is negotiating to hand Iran access to $20 billion in frozen funds — more than ten times what he once condemned — in exchange for the regime surrendering its near-weapons-grade uranium stockpile. This is Trump at his most embarrassingly stupid: destroying a deal that had capped Iran's enrichment and kept it under watch, only to crawl back offering vastly more cash after his own incompetence made the threat far worse. The man who mocked Obama for "giving" Iran money is now dangling a fortune in frozen assets while pretending it's a brilliant victory. It's not leadership — it's ego-driven incompetence and rank hypocrisy, a petty grudge that backfired spectacularly and left America facing a more expensive, more dangerous mess. Trump's jealous tantrum didn't make America safer; it just made the cleanup bill ten times bigger.

Says it all….

Seems like common sense to me… theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Employing a rapist or allowing candidates with family violence histories to stand for election is a feature of One Nation, not a flaw. crikey.com.au/2026/04/13/one…

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

The US has declared victory, saying it has achieved its objective of spending tens of billions of dollars and causing thousands of deaths in order to return things to roughly as they were before the war started. Read more: theshovel.com.au/2026/04/08/us-…

Hey, did you all hear about the latest warcrime??

Regime change is now more urgent than ever to end this Iran war. The world can no longer tolerate a tyrannical, fanatically theocratic, deceitful kleptocracy wreaking havoc on civilised nations. Trump and his war-mongering gang of liars and sycophants must go.

It is NOT OKAY that the @PressClubAust showcased this creep today. Those who say it’s reasonable for him to appear on grounds the press is meant to be free to talk to anyone are despicable. It MIGHT be okay for him to be heard if any so-called journos there had pushed back on his lies, but they didn’t. The short video here proves it: no protest from the media AT ALL about the gob-smacking lies just in this one-minute grab of his speech. For these lies to go out unquestioned is a travesty. For this to occur when other voices which aren’t rabidly pro-Israel are ignored and even cancelled from the National Press Club makes it even worse. Yet as always, yelling on the internet or contacting the media outlets involved or the Press Council themselves is USELESS. If you want to do something constructive, the only action which works is to contact the NPC’s advertisers. Tell them how disgraceful these lies are. Tell them this man today denied that a genocide has even taken place, despite the most trustworthy institutions in the world having clearly confirmed the opposite. Tell them to withdraw their funding or you will never pay them a cent ever again. Tell them today. It matters. The NPC should be disbanded, and one of the only ways to do that is to take away the money they use to run it. This is collective consumer power in action and it’s so very, very important right now. Because nothing else will even come close to having the impact of getting to those who fund this hatred and these lies. Write to some of these companies TODAY. Are you in?
