Why are we are wilfully consigning ourselves, our neighbours and our children to the abyss of climate fury when there is another way-seriously!

I interviewed one of the best players to ever roam the planet. Trying to understand the mind set of player that has seen some of the worse injuries you can have. Someone whose knee was reconstructed using his own father’s hamstring. He went on to make 28 of the most dominant tackles you will see in, a World Cup final.
Pieter-Steph du Toit interview is live on RugbyPass Tv now.

The engrained racism is this country is truly something else. Imagine if a senator was calling for a ban on Jewish students wearing kippahs?
Senator Sarah Henderson@SenSHenderson
Today I’ve written to the @UniMelb Vice-Chancellor seeking urgent assurances over calls for students to wear a keffiyeh in protest at graduation ceremonies, in breach of university rules. This action is not only provocative but raises serious safety concerns for Jewish students. With an alarming rise in antisemitism in our community, Australian universities must take much stronger action to guarantee the safety and security of Jewish students on campus. heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/…

@theapedecays @PaulPrigby @Leo_Puglisi6 When I want to make connections to the working class, I also give millionaires tax cuts and fail to raise Newstart above the poverty line.
They love that.

@PaulPrigby @Leo_Puglisi6 If by "progressive" you mean "even less of a genuine connection to the working class" - then yes.

@purplepingers I can see the inherent conflict there, but I just wonder if more of these types enter the profession there would be more pushback against rental increases and things may actually be fixed for renters...

Mates don’t let mates become real estate agents.
WACA@akaWACA
Dear Renters, This Xmas, try not to upset your real estate agents. Honestly, it’s a hard time for them & it’s made more unpleasant by renters who choose to feed their kids. Property managers get hurt feelings, you’re just making it hard for them when they are forced to evict you.

@CoBigal @TimSH456 @caitoz @xdef210 @OHtommyIO More concerned with civilians than any other military?
I don't know man... how many civilians has Tonga's military killed this century?
English
No no you don't understand, the side that's killing babies and incinerating families and assassinating journalists and starving civilians and bombing cultural heritage sites and carpet bombing entire neighborhoods and driving an indigenous people off their land are the GOOD guys.
English
@googledegreeguy @bandtistbraden If anyone tries to open more coal mines like Adani then I sure as shit will be doing what I can to oppose it. Anyone who cares about the climate would.

@SallyLawry @MChandlerMather Unless Labor were looking to spend $3 billion on housing during those 6 months, I'd say the Greens negotiating for more eas worth it.
English
Morbidly impressive the lengths Labor will go to avoid taking on the banks or investing public housing the way governments used to
Maiy Azize@MaiyAzize
Australia’s never had more homes per person. Yet housing only gets more expensive. Why? Govt policies allow the wealthiest to take up more space, hoard homes, and push up costs. Now they’re scapegoating migrants for the problem they’ve created. With respect, get in the bin.
English
@Leo_Puglisi6 @MortyAUS @6NewsAU Shannon is Labor's best bet. Miles doesn't gain any seats, and is tainted with being Palaszczuk's Deputy. 3 Townsville seats are a write off. Shannon will help guard against Greens in Brisbane seats and is far more charismatic than Miles. Her and Dick would be a strong Team.

@cojimofficial @MayadeenEnglish Yeah we'll blame the ones who bombed them, thanks.
English
@MayadeenEnglish It's their fault to be in the middle of the war, they take the risk themself 😌 so don't blame anyone 😌
English
"Israel" deliberately targeted #AlMayadeen's correspondent, Farah Omar, and cameraman Rabih Me'mari, killing them both after they had just ended their live broadcast from South #Lebanon.
English
@dlsmith0817 @MayadeenEnglish What makes you think those journalists fired anything into Israel?
English
@MayadeenEnglish Have you ever thought that maybe they shouldn't have been firing missiles into israel? Do you think at all?
English
@MayBritt44 @qai5er @jessphillips About 4,000 dead children too late for Israel to have ignored it. Clearly that ship has sailed.
English
@qai5er @jessphillips Resigned for *checks notes, asking another country to ignore mindlessly barbaric invasion and *checks notes, launching it from behind human shields.

@Cecil3204748868 @GrantSmithEllis @elicoh1 @antonioguterres If you've killed over 4,000 children "accidentally", then it's time to drastically change the way you are doing things.
English
@GrantSmithEllis @elicoh1 @antonioguterres The question is did they try to kill children? Hamas executed children INTENTIONALLY. I believe most of the children killed in Gaza have been collateral damage. Aside from the 16 year old boy who stabbed an Israeli woman to death and was killed. Palestinians make great parents!
English
Shame on you @antonioguterres! More than 30 minors - among them a 9 month-old baby as well as toddlers and children who witnessed their parents being murdered in cold blood - are being held against their will in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas is the problem in Gaza, not Israel's actions to eliminate this terrorist organization.
English
@JuanIsidro @AlanRMacLeod They were deaded by a bomb.
English
@AlanRMacLeod Nobody ever says victims of bombs were “killed”. This is disingenuous from you.
English
Lesson #1 in how media can manipulate the public into supporting one side or the other in a conflict.
English
@SM27600334 @mcberkman The fucking irony of this comment when Labor has to break their own laws to allow children to be locked up indefinitely in adult watch-houses.
English
Reminder that last year the ‘Tillygraph’ said Sam Kerr’s goals are less impressive than men’s goals and she didn’t deserve to be as celebrated for them as much as a man would be
English
@HussSir @thebigjohnnyd Which of their fundamentally contradictory front pages is right?
English
@googledegreeguy @rippinghottakes Nah bro, 100,000's of people have used it to refer to them. The same people who abandoned the party which led to their lowest primary vote share in modern history.
If they woke up tomorrow & wanted to repeal it, it'd pass the Senate. But uncle Murdoch would be mad, so they won't
English
Wow this sure is bad I just wish someone was in a position to stop it
Andrew Leigh@ALeighMP
As a result of the low and middle income tax offset ending & stage 3 tax cuts starting, people earning under $88,000 will be worse off. That’s 7 out of 10 taxpayers worse off from Morrison’s tax plan, @JEChalmers tells @PressClubAust #auspol
