  1. "“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! 👍 🇦🇺

  2. "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!!

  3. 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?

    What a thought hey?

    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.

  12. As Zack Polanski (rightly) points out:

    'How can the government designate new data centres as ‘critical national infrastructure’ when they don’t even keep records on who is using them and what they are being used for? '...

    The reason, is all the better to render protestors against Data Centres as 'terrorists'.

    This could be a major vote winner for the Green Party of England & Wales, and specifically for Polanski's (likely) by-election..

  21. Senator #DavidShoebridge, with this article for deepcutnews.com, might just have identified the nexus of our communal discontent. Else, he neatly summarizes a major source cause of our collective populist anger. Might this be the ralying cry that the #Greens sorely need? The means to bring about the downfall of our *tired* two party dominated political system?

    “This is the political struggle of the moment: galvanising the 99 per cent into a people-powered political movement to resist and take back power from the 1 per cent.”

    While #PHON has already tapped into this amorphous electoral anger, it has done so, knowingly or otherwise, without pointing back to the backers behind their emotive political messages. In my view, that is where the Greens ought to make a difference and increase their piece of the electoral pie.

    '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.

  30. Systemic decline requires systemic thinking. Australia's toxic relationship with the US, militarism, genocide, environmental destruction, the fossil fuel lobby, growing inequality, the growth of Far Right politics, and First Nations' rights are all connected. One cannot treat any one of them without treating all of them.

    "Australian communities are not safe while we are closely allied with a rogue toxic global force that steals and destroys great swathes of ocean and land, supplies arms to genocidal maniacs, coerces, bullies and kills at will and acts only in the interests of the rich and powerful 1%."

  32. “Greens call for pause on data centres until mandatory standards are in place
    By Holly Tregenza

    The Greens say the government should impose an indefinite pause on any data centre developments until mandatory regulatory rules are in effect.

    Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young has called AI "the new extractive industry" and says without the right regulation, big tech companies will take Australia's resources "and leave Australians with nothing to show for it".

    "It is essential that we get the rules right. To do that, we need a pause on the approval and construction of new hyperscale data centres while we do this important policy work," she says.

    "Just because big tech companies want to move at hyperspeed, doesn't mean that we need to fast-track and roll out the red carpet for them." (Source ABCNews Live)

    Given that the #LNP and #PHON are unlikely to support the #AILegislation when it hits the floor in Parliament, this is a great opportunity for the #Greens and #IND to get that legislation right as well as the political coin that comes with that.

    #GenAISlop #DataCentres #AIPolicy #AILegislation #AusPol

  33. "The #Greens campaigned on changing the system, and the most credible way to prove that is not to repaint the rulebook in their own colours but to make it harder for any future administration — including a future #Green one — to quietly narrow scrutiny when it suits them. Build the opposition’s speaking rights and the public’s right to petition into the constitution as protected features rather than gifts of the majority."
