  1. "A rise in #antisemitism across #Australia has “disturbing parallels” with the social climate of #Nazi #Germany, the president of the #Australian #Holocaust survivors association says.

    #GeorgeFoster, the president of the Australian Association of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Descendants, told the antisemitism royal commission that he did not believe Australia was “becoming another Germany in the 1930s”.

    “Australia’s democratic institutions, legal system and civilian civil society are fundamentally different,” he said on Tuesday.

    “However … I can’t ignore certain disturbing parallels in the social atmosphere.

    “For example, the exclusion of #Jews from parts of public life, the normalisation of #antisemitic language, dehumanising descriptions of Jews, #conspiracytheories, the resurgence of antisemitic tropes, attacks on Jewish schools, #synagogues and businesses, and fear about displaying Jewish identity publicly.”

  6. 🇦🇺 #Wrightbus has launched its #Australian operations, marking a new phase in its global expansion of zero-emission transport solutions. The move, announced at the #Australasia Bus & Coach Expo in Sydney, builds on the Northern #Irish manufacturer’s historic links with #Australia and its 80 years of engineering expertise. With 3,000 zero-emission vehicles already operating across the #UK and #Europe, Wrightbus will work with operators, governments and industry partners to support Australia’s transition to cleaner public transport. The company is introducing its Kite battery-electric and hydrogen buses, alongside the StreetDeck 6x2 electric double decker, while investing in local partnerships and capability. Wrightbus says its focus is on delivering practical solutions, sharing global experience and building long-term support networks for sustainable #transport.

  11. #Australian drivers are in for another round of anxiety as #GlobalOilPrices spike on the back of #Trump's latest #MarketManipulation.

    National Australia Bank senior analyst Jason Wong says a 20% levy on cargo shipped through the #StraitOfHormuz would add about $US16 ($23) to the cost of every barrel of oil passing through the strait on a typical #supertanker.

    "#Australian #universities will be required to adopt definitions on #antisemitism, #Islamophobia and #racism towards #Aboriginal and #TorresStraitIslander people from next year, under a legally enforceable standard designed to stamp out #discrimination on #campuses.

    Details of the #antiracism standard will be published on Monday as #university bosses, #students and #academics prepare to appear at the royal commission into antisemitism and social cohesion.

    A separate set of governance principles will also become enforceable standards, including an obligation on public universities to publish vice-chancellor salaries, spending on consultants and the outcome of board meetings.

    The introduction of a formal anti-racism standard was part of the antisemitism plan that the federal government published after the #Bondimassacre, and a recommendation from the #HumanRightsCommission’s landmark report on racism at #Australia’s universities."

    "The #Australian #CyberSecurity Centre (ACSC) should evolve into a formal cybersecurity regulator, with a role comparable to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for the health sector. #ACSC would have authority to set minimum cybersecurity standards, certify high-risk products and services, investigate major cyber incidents, mandate remediation of systemic vulnerabilities and enforce compliance across critical sectors."

  20. This is Kos Samaras’ #analysis of the #AUstralian #ELectorate:
    “Gen Z is the most socially progressive generation in Australian history. On climate, on gender, on multiculturalism, on sexuality, the debates that consumed their parents are simply settled questions for them.

    However – and this is where most commentary gets them wrong – their progressivism is not primarily cultural. It is economic. This is a generation psychologically predisposed to economic populism: hostile to concentrated wealth, cynical about corporate power, convinced the housing market is rigged (because it is, against them) and increasingly comfortable with state intervention that would have made their Gen X parents flinch. They want someone to name the enemy, and the enemy they recognise is not the migrant or the welfare recipient. It’s the landlord, the bank, the supermarket duopoly.

    This is why right-wing populism keeps bouncing off them. One Nation is currently discovering its ceiling: Gen Z is a large part of what that ceiling is made of. In our research, only around one in 10 of this cohort will entertain a One Nation vote; among young women, the figure collapses into the single digits. Gen Z women are, on our data, the most progressive demographic segment ever measured in this country. The gender gap inside this generation is real and widening but note what the gap is between: young women who are hyper-progressive, and young men who are, mostly still progressive, just less so. The manosphere drift among a minority of young men is real and worth watching but it’s still a minority. It is not, on current evidence, an electoral majority-maker for the populist right in Australia the way it has been elsewhere.”

    I’m a #Boomer, so I can’t validate this from my own perspective. Any #GenZ out there willing to comment on any of the statements above? I’d be interested in reading about them.

  31. 🇦🇺 #Volvo #Buses has unveiled Australia’s first electric articulated bus, the 18-metre Volvo BZL Electric Articulated, to meet growing demand for high-capacity, zero-emission urban transport. The low-floor, fully electric chassis is fitted with a locally built Volgren body, with the first vehicle produced in Perth for the Public #Transport Authority of Western #Australia (PTA). More than 140 rigid Volvo BZL Electric buses have been operating across Australia since 2022, providing an established support network. Volvo says the new model was developed for #Australian conditions and the PTA, with which it has worked for more than a decade. The PTA has taken delivery of more than 1,400 Volvo buses. The 57-seat bus features dual 200kW motors, 12 LFP batteries with 497kWh of installed energy, and CCS2 charging.
