  1. Hmmm.... it seems not all Green Party of England & Wales members (or local councillors) are so keen on Zack Polanski standing in the forthcoming by-election in Camden.

    (Now I'm posting this as I think it is an interesting development, but with the caveat that I cannot be sure this is not just media mischief making... I leave it to you to decide how serious you think this story is as I am in two minds about it myself).

    I wonder how busy Nigel Farage is this week, and whether the 23,000 people who voted him in again care about any of this, and instead just obsess over Immigration like the losers they are...

  7. @janef0421 JFC we already have real live bread lines. Every time I go past Just Zilch in PN these days, I see a line. That is the problem right-wing neoliberal austerity has birthed and it is what the #Greens will fix with a public supermarket.

  8. "“Anyone can condemn the actions of the Israeli military, but only the government can impose the sanctions and material responses needed. Until they do their words are distractions.”

    He called for material reprimand for members of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government and for the sale of parts for the F-35 fighter jet to be immediately halted."

    Exactly right! 👍 🇦🇺

  9. "Greens defence spokesman says ‘words are just distractions’ until government takes action"

    Australian Greens, once again, the _ONLY_ party in Australia with Common Sense, Integrity and Ethics, saying what NEEDS to be said and petitioning for Labor to start doing the right thing and ENDING their complicity!

    "The Greens have criticised inflammatory statements from the former Israel Defense Forces officer who ordered the attack which killed Zomi Frankcom, accusing the Albanese government of weakness over its failure to halt military exports and impose new sanctions.

    Australian aid worker Frankcom and six of her colleagues were killed in 2024 while bringing food to the people of Gaza. Former IDF reserve colonel Nochi Mendel has said he would do “exactly the same thing” again and that those killed in the World Central Kitchen (WCK) humanitarian convoy in Gaza were “not innocent”.

    ..the Greens’ defence spokesperson, David Shoebridge, said the government’s response was insufficient in the face of Mendel’s “reprehensible” statements. He said the comments “reflect the rhetoric and policy of the Israeli government, where collective punishment of aid workers, doctors and innocent civilians is occurring daily”.

    “I do not care what minister Wong’s personal feelings are, I don’t care about her outrage, I care about the actions taken as foreign minister,” Shoebridge told Guardian Australia."

    F*ck YES! Finally, someone in Canberra finally SAID IT ALOUD! GO GREENS!!! 👍 🇦🇺 👍 🇦🇺 👍 🇦🇺 👍 🇦🇺 👍 🇦🇺
    GET THE JOB DONE! KICK LABOR OUT!!

  10. It seems to me that #Australia is replete with people, groups and organisations calling for sorely needed changes in our #society and in our #politics. What is also evident is that each of these ‘actors’ are operating independently of each other and diluting #ChangeAgency to the extent that none in isolation can bring about such changes.

    What if … what if some bright spark with a modicum of #leadership potential was to harness in all of these dispersed *agents of change* ? What if the #Greens were able to unite these *agents* and focus them on a single but #life-changing policy like #Renationalizing our #HealthSystem, or a bold #MediaOwnership regulations overhall, or something just as grand as these?

    What would the chances be that we, together, could move a mountain and Australia out of its morass?

    We agree on one thing… the #Greens have to get vocal about the things that can be changed for the better good of society as a whole.

    Let’s get rowdy, bring the *Unions* and *Independents* on board with some unassailably good policies and get out on the streets.

    #Unionism #InUnity #NationalProtests and well defined and articulated progressive changes that eveyone can get behind… that is the answer to how we change things, always has been.

    This seems to be a conundrum worth considering carefully, in the interests of native forests and habitat for multiple endangered species.

    Imagine not dealing with the Comet because it would "hand a win to our anti-comet political adversaries"

    Why doesn't that work for Immigration and the Far Right though?

    'You know if #Peters, #Seymour and the #Tax Payers #Union are panting hysterically about any #policy that they claim is the end of the world as we know it ... then whoever is making them clutch their pearls ... and act in a most agitated manner has raised something that the people they represent want strangled at birth.

    These people do not represent "the people" and definitely not fairness and equality, they represent maintaining a system that rewards the owners of #Capital that benefit from #labour and #business #owners being taxed to #subsidize the lack of #capital gains, #land and #inheritance tax that they refuse to pay.

    Calling the #Greens #communists is factually wrong and laughable but the fact they have reacted so #hysterically to the Greens proposed tax #policies, which would force their masters to pay tax (at all) is telling and all fair minded people should support the Greens because of this, otherwise tax #reform in #NZ will not happen.

  23. You may donate to a criminal complaint that specifies several weapon systems which were used by the Israeli army in Gaza including combat drones (Heron TP), warships (Sa´ar 6-class corvette) and various kinds of ammunition and mechanical parts.

    The criminal complaint names 11 high ranking officials of the former and current German government and CEOs of arms manufacturers.

  24. Former #Greens candidate may lose sight after being arrested in #SydneyAustralia #protest at alleged #Israel technology supplier

    Hannah Thomas, who ran against Anthony Albanese in the Sydney electorate of Grayndler, sustained facial injuries

    Henry Belot, Fri 27 Jun 2025

    "A former Greens candidate has been injured after allegedly resisting police arrest while picketing a business in Sydney’s west, with friends and family warned she may lose sight in her right eye.

    "The protest, which attracted between 50 and 60 people, sought to stop pedestrian access to a business that was accused by protesters of 'supplying electroplating and surface coating services for a variety of applications including aerospace and defence technology' to Israel.

    "The #Greens alleged the company was reportedly 'involved in providing plating services for various parts used in #F35 jets' used by the #IsraeliMilitary.

    "According to police, officers issued a move-on direction to the protesters at about 5.30am on Friday.

    "The force alleged the protest was 'unauthorised', as those involved had not given advanced notice nor submitted a #form that protected them from being charged under #AntiProtestLaws."

  25. CW: If distraught, prepare for war 🧵

    The liberal legacy political parties had votes drop to 60 percent (from 76 percent in the previous parliamentary election three years earlier). Just before parting, the representatives passed a law that may double the national debt.

    'After fifteen years of German legacy political parties lecturing their citizens that the Swabian hausfrau was the sole paradigm for government spending and that “our grandchildren” could not be burdened by today’s profligacy, the same German political parties have abandoned “fiscal responsibility”, having voted over one trillion euros in new debt, defying not only its own debt brake, but the one it imposed on the rest of the EU.'

  26. Bernard Keane on the political game played by the Greens at the expense of Labor’s housing policies. “The Greens have done what they needed to do to prevent Labor from claiming success on housing”

    “The Greens had been particularly savage about Build to Rent, which they insisted was pro-developer, would would drive gentrification, and would push rents up to benefit “corporate landlords” (if landlords are the villains of the Greens worldview, corporate landlords as boss-level baddies). Nonetheless, the Greens say they will now “wave through” such terrible legislation. Developers and gentrifiers everywhere must be popping the bubbly.”
