  1. 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.

  7. 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..

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

  9. 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.

  10. Party political donation problems, Green Party of England & Wales style:

    Zack Polanski (the leader of the GPEW) has had eight donations of £513 returned to him but the party as at the time (for reason of security, apparently) he was not entered on the electoral roll.

    A little different to the donations issues that swirl around the Fascist Frog.... and indicative of the rather different politics of donations in the two parties.

  11. An interesting article from #RichardDenniss (of the Australian Insititute) delving into a question I’ve been asking myself for a few years now: “The big question is, if the Greens can’t pick up an exodus of Labor voters, what is their plan to grow their support?”

    It is worth the read.

    “Labor lost nearly half of its voters in Saturday’s election. But despite the huge swing, the Greens primary vote actually also fell. Put another way, even though over 6,000 people who voted for Labor in 2025 changed their vote to someone else on Saturday, the Greens primary vote also fell by over 400.”

    #GladiatorGatorade? Ancient Athletes Had A Recovery Drink, Too

    by Maria Godoy, October 27, 2014

    Excerpt: "#PlantAshes were evidently consumed to fortify the body after physical exertion, and to promote better bone healing,' Fabian Kanz, a forensic anthropologist at the Medical University of Vienna who led the research, said in a statement. 'Things were similar then to what we do today."

    "Evidence for this ancient dietary supplement comes from a second-century cemetery for gladiators in what was once the great Roman city of Ephesus, in modern-day Turkey. Kanz and his colleagues have been studying the remains buried there to unravel how these athletes lived. To figure out what they ate, the researchers examined the remains of 22 gladiators using stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratio analysis.

    "Carbon can tell us about the plants these people ate, while nitrogen offers hints of their animal protein consumption. The gladiators were eating a pretty varied diet, the analysis showed. Some went heavier on the #grains and #greens; some ate more meat.

    "When the same tests were run on the remains of 31 regular folks from that era and region, they found the same sorts of variation. In other words, gladiators seemed to be eating the same way as everyone else.

    "But the researchers also decided to look at the trace elements of strontium and calcium in those old bones. And that's where a huge difference jumped out. Compared with the regular Joes, the gladiators had a much larger ratio of strontium to calcium.

    " 'This is strong evidence that the gladiators were consuming something high in calcium to replenish their calcium stores that other people weren't and that didn't show up in the isotopes,' says Kristina Killgrove, a biological anthropologist at the University of West Florida who studies imperial Rome through ancient bones.

    "The researchers wondered: If the gladiators weren't eating more meat than their contemporaries, then where was this calcium boost coming from? A nearly 2,000-year-old encyclopedia offered a tantalizing clue.

    "In his #NaturalisHistoria, published in the first century, #PlinyTheElder wrote: 'Your #hearth should be your #MedicineChest. Drink #lye made from its ashes, and you will be cured. One can see how gladiators after a combat are helped by drinking this.'

    "Using ash in food and medicine wasn't limited to the Romans. The #Hopis used ash from burned plant leaves and pea pods to prepare #BlueCornmeal foods like #PikiBread and #BivilvikiDumplings. The ash provided essential elements like #calcium, #manganese, #copper and #iron."

    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."

  26. Just took time out to view/listen to Hannah Ferguson ‘s National Press Club speech (and Q&A… even better) on YouTube, and I got to say: what a powerhouse! Once I got used to her machine-gun delivery, I was captured. A bright, strong, enthusiastic woman. What an excellent role model. I hope she achieves her goals because if she does, she’ll go far.

    @treleanor I suspect the party policy #FatimaPayman broke was the unwritten 'We will not respect the Greens'.

    It is a strong policy position, and one that underlines the inherent self-doubt of the #ALP. As long as the ALP maintains childish hatred of the Greens, they will bleed votes (and members too!) across to the Greens.

    It's very much relevant to #Makarrata. The ALP *could* say: you Greens, YOU do the running now. (We got basted by Murdoch on #Voice.) But you guys are crazy enough to have another go? Go you good things. Burn hard - off you go. We'll stand to one side, offer a free vote in the Parliament and be helpful in every way *except* ways that risk our own skin.

    The #Greens are, can be, could be, a bloody great asset to the ALP. Someone over there just needs to trip over the #ClueStick.

    It's very much relevant to #Makarrata. The ALP *could* say: you Greens, YOU do the running now. (We got basted by Murdoch on #Voice.) But you guys are crazy enough to have another go? Go you good things. Burn hard - off you go. We'll stand to one side, offer a free vote in the Parliament and be helpful in every way *except* ways that risk our own skin.

    The #Greens are, can be, could be, a bloody great asset to the ALP. Someone over there just needs to trip over the #ClueStick.

  32. Would any of the major parties in the #ukelection pledge to restore #PlymouthAirport or at least restore #SouthWest to #Scotland flights so we don't have to drive from #Cornwall to #BRS to fly to #GLA?
