@DaveMilbo For a party designed to disrupt Australian politics, the Greens are way too conservative.
They go along with the “national security” Trojan horse.
They don’t look outside of main stream propagandistic politics & media - especially on international politics.
English
Question: Why do you think the Australian Greens can't seem to bust out of the 10-14% range of the vote? Hostile media? Too beuigose? Their candidates? Their messaging? Their Their name? Is Australia just innately pro-war, pro-racism, pro-fossil fuels? The party seems stuck.

@DaveMilbo We're trying in the Bankstown Greens to do this... small community events, conversations and connection building. contact-nsw.greens.org.au/civicrm/event/…
English
I want the local Greens to talk like this, personally. Enough people can see clearly now. They're ready for straighter talk. Start talking about how the cause of all these disparate, apparently never connected things you care about is capitalism.

For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.

🚨🚨 NEW EP OUT NOW 🚨🚨
As another war breaks out, Senator @DavidShoebridge explains the insane mindset that dominates Australia's defence services: as long as we do the US's bidding, we're "winning".

Imagine that after cars were invented, they banned 10 types of cars for under 16's rather than making it mandatory all cars had seatbelts. That's Australia's social media age delay. 🫠 #socialmediaban

Just 35 days to the 10 December social media ban deadline and Labor announces 2 more platforms being roped in - they’re making it up on the fly - 2.5 million young people are being disrespected and everyone’s privacy treated like a joke

'Go outside, be in nature' they said.
'Its good for your mental health' they said.
So young people put down their screens and stepped outside.
There was no 'nature' left.
But oh, was it hot.
A poem about climate and screens.

The NSW Govt has lost another expensive legal challenge for its poorly thought out knee-jerk anti-protest laws.
It’s a good outcome, but the community shouldn’t have to keep footing the bill for Minns Labor government brain farts.

In less than 3 months Australian kids under 16 will be logged out of a range of social media sites. My free webinar will help parents prepare to manage the issues, complaints and conflict that might arise. Register here > us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Would bet money that they're the suburbs where youth centres have been defunded and there are no outdoor play spaces or activities designed for teens. But probably #itstheiphonesisntit.

New figures have pinpointed the worst hot spots in NSW for youth crime. Here’s the list of which suburbs recorded the highest rates of offending.

Don't tell the Australian govt - they will try to ban it. Nobody tell them kids use google docs on google classroom to pass digital notes in class... FFS.

This morning we worked with a parent who discovered her teen was using his Nintendo Switch to communicate with others online, even without a cellphone or laptop. It’s a good reminder that children don’t need a traditional device to connect with people online!

Digital Nutrition: Digital Nutrition is a brilliant antidote to the guilt, muddled advice & finger-pointing of screen time focus advice. Instead, we can consider what specific games have to offer our children and our family. familygamingdatabase.com/Digital+Nutrit…

Australia can’t keep looking away from what’s happening in Gaza. We need our government to recognise Palestine, impose sanctions, halt weapons exports, and demand a permanent ceasefire. Will you help grow the pressure for real action? getup.to/e2eYJoCKkMioGr…

A few days ago Noor Hammad, a young woman in Gaza I've been speaking to for more than a year, asked me to interview her.
We spoke about life in Mawasi, how Gazans are trying to help each other, her hopes for the future, and her daughter.

I dunno Neil, maybe go ask the young queer and/or brown teenagers in rural areas who can find community and connection through online spaces in ways they cant in 'real' life.
Neil Stone@DrNeilStone
Can anyone convince me that social media has made the world a better place? Didn't think so
English
@DarrenLaur Because in Australia, they know a social media ban is coming and these platforms are excluded from the ban. Any behaviours and risks that the architects of the ban think are going to be solved, will simply pop up in different spaces.

It's truly unreal that neither Albanese or Wong have addressed the fact that 2 Australians aboard a humanitarian ship were kidnapped by Israel today to stop them from delivering aid to Gaza. Not a day passes when they don't disgrace us with their shameful inaction and complicity.
English
Would making door handles for gas chambers be considered 'non-lethal' by Senator Wong?
David Shoebridge@DavidShoebridge
The Australian Government has provided parts of the F35 fighter jet to Israel. Minister Wong calling these parts 'non-lethal' is insulting. End the two-way arms trade.
