Beautiful reflection thank you.
“Our quality of life is directly proportional to the speed at which we accept the facts”.

Everyone is important.
We need to remember - and we need to remind everyone - because it seems so easily forgotten.

“Do not look away”
The decision of three actors in the Sydney Theatre Company's new production of The Seagull to wear the keffiyeh during curtain call sparked a frenzy of condemnation from members of the Jewish community. @latingle spoke to @louiseadler. #abc730

Hate re-sharing this stuff but people have been talking about this for ages (and for hundreds of years before I was born).
When I was 15 I explained why I support the Voice, on Saturday I'm going to vote for it.
Join me in building a better future for this country. Vote Yes.

Enhancing our democracy

I am voting YES because political democracy is worth making better. We need more people involved in decisions that impact their lives. In & around parliament, but also in workplaces & communities. 1/14

We miss him because he’s our Dad, his strength as a father. Our people’s cause was central to his life.
We miss his leadership

A bit more from Home Affairs Minister @ClareONeilMP - announcing a "Strengthening Democracy Taskforce" to address the #nationalsecurity implications of public distrust in our democratic institutions. Worth a listen. #auspol @10NewsFirst

“The RBA seems to have lost sight of the impact of the quantum of debt in the economy. While interest repayments as a share of disposable household incomes might appear low, principal repayments are at their highest levels ever. And borrowers pay both.”

RBA is blindly lifting rates ‘like an inflation nutter’ -

Don’t be fooled- Australia’s #carbonlaundering scheme

As always I'm coming to Aus energy and climate things about 13 hours too late but look, I **need** to tell you about precisely how stunningly bad this project is

If we switched to renewable energy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall almost in half.

Better than Australia’s paltry, existing target, but nonetheless not in line with a 1.5 degree world. Let’s hope it’s the floor to Labor’s ambitions for the next decade, not the ceiling. afr.com/politics/federal/lab…
