I cannot believe I can finally call my beautiful partner, my husband. We're MARRIED at last - after 23 years together. Such a beautiful, moving day. #MarriageEquality #LoveWins

In today's Australian Financial Review 🗞️ A report by Dr Bruce Mountain of the Victorian Energy Policy Centre, released today by our foundation, shows that the economic case for the environmentally destructive Marinus Link has largely collapsed— bobbrown.org.au/new-report-f… #politas

Exposed: Pauline Hanson in Hot Water as official identified as white supremacist who defends Nazi Hitler Youth, advocates White Australia Policy & spews racist bile online. Says he’s “proud” to work for Hanson. Clearly fits in. This is the rot at the heart of One Nation. #auspol

🚨 Absolute madness in the US right now as the Uruguay national team gets pulled to the side of the road and treated like straight-up suspects. ​They literally just landed for the World Cup and security is already ripping their luggage open on the tarmac with sniffer dogs everywhere ​Qatar and Russia hosted without this level of paranoia but the "land of the free" is handing out pure humiliation to Global South athletes before a single match is even played, the double standards are screaming.

Under Hanson, Socceroo heroes would never have called Australia home theage.com.au/national/under…

RT @arianajasmine__: They didn’t want Zohran Mamdani to win because once people see a politician who isn’t bought by corporations, does his…

the football field but in every pub, home and public square. That’s what racism, fear & division will rob us of, our collective shared humanity and community if we let it win over love and welcome.

It’s not even that under their policies half would face deportation. Or that we couldn’t have even watched the game as One Nation wants to defund SBS. The real story is how proud did you feel yesterday watching our beautiful multicultural Australia together & not just on

The real story is not that our Socceroos squad comes from 15 different cultural & ethnic backgrounds nor that our stars would never have been allowed to come to Australia under One Nation, because Pauline Hanson wants us to withdraw from the Refugee Convention.

Peppermint: These attacks on the trans community serve as a distraction from the immense hoarding of wealth and resources by billionaires—a distraction from the failures of this government to protect its people instead of harming them

"Hope will never be silent." 🌈 — Harvey Milk Keep believing. Keep loving. Keep hoping.

In the past seven days, we lost four Australian women and girls to femicide. This year, a total of 32 women and 12 children have been killed. Last year 79 women were lost to violence, the year before 204 women were killed. In the past 24 hours, the media have run more articles about shark attacks than they have collectively run on the femicide epidemic. There's no doubt, shark attacks should be covered and the victims should be spoken about. But the collective political and media response to shark attacks compared to killed women and children is appalling. On average, we lose THREE Australians to shark attacks EACH YEAR. We lose one woman or girl EVERY FOUR DAYS to an act of male violence. The same voices calling for the cull of sharks are the same voices who stay silent on the slaughter of women and children.

These brave women came to senate estimates to demand, for once, the violence of the Israeli state was acknowledged in Canberra. They came back yesterday and forced the government to start an AFP investigation into the assaults on them. Courage. Solidarity. 🕊️ 🇵🇸

We’re now in ‘stage 4 – the post-truth era – no matter what evidence is mounted against Hanson, her previous voting record, her lack of policy depth, her lack of attendance in parliament even, it doesn’t matter.’ - Zoe Daniel theguardian.com/commentisfre…

It appears that exposing charlatans in Australian politics is now down to our cartoonists and a few independent journalists - not the mainstream media. It will be interesting to watch Hanson at the #npc this week.

Pauline Hanson is not for Aussie battlers. She votes against the Aussie battler. She is on record saying that low and middle income earners get too much from the government. Medicines on the PBS is one example. She wants us to pay full price. This is what that would look like.

John Howard introduced the CGT discount in 1999. The decade before, house prices tracked income. After, they decoupled - Howard used the tax system to make investors richer at the expense of first home buyers. A simple correlation that even Karl Stefanovic could understand.

A 12 mth ‘ban’ ratcheted down to 3? No ban on contract extensions? Most workers would be out the door if they’d done what this mob have already admitted. One rule for the big end of town, another for the rest. KPMG government work ban a ‘slap on the wrist’ theaustralian.com.au/busines…

🚨🇦🇱BREAKING: Day 16 of mass protests in Tirana, Albania ✊️🇦🇱The most powerful force in a democracy is not the government. It's the people refusing to be ignored. #Albania #FlamingoRevolution

Opinion: Pride often celebrates being seen. But trans communities have long practiced a different kind of wisdom: knowing when visibility serves the work — and when it puts it at risk. advocate.com/opinion/stealth…

Albania’s Flamingo Revolution shows no sign of slowing down. Protesters again took to the streets of Tirana to oppose a luxury resort project linked to U.S, president's son-in-law Jared Kushner, arguing it would damage protected coastal wetlands that are home to flamingos, seals and nesting sea turtles, while fueling broader concerns over corruption and Prime Minister Edi Rama’s government.
