  • Two protesters arrested on first day of Queensland’s ‘from the river to the sea’ ban

    Jump

  • It's always a grim reality check to see how easily foreign nations influence Australia. I hope everyone doubles down and keeps saying the phrase.

  • Australia to provide military support to Gulf states attacked by Iran

    Jump

  • Not the worst federal government in recent times, but probably the most disappointing.

  • Inside the voter shift: Can One Nation ride its poll surge to parliament?

    Jump

  • Too early to call. The senate is the biggest worry for 2028, but I just think they'll gain senators at the expense of the Liberals and Nationals.

    If they are somehow able to sustain their trend and grow over multiple election cycles, I would be pretty worried about a hung parliament. I can't imagine any coalition with One Nation in it being particularly functional though.

  • Australians roll down lawns of Parliament House to protest against fence

    Jump

  • I don't know anything about good security measures tbf, but damn, a fence would ruin the whole design of Parliament house..

    Edit: it's a 10 year old post, surprised I didn't hear about this until now

  • NSW Police target Sydney home over 'Boycott Israel' sticker

    Jump

  • Jeez, what does one have to do? Put a big green tick next to the Star of David and a big red cross through the Israel flag?

  • Angus Taylor rolls Sussan Ley to become Liberal leader

    Jump

  • I don't like any of the Liberals but Ley was one of the few remaining ones that seemed at least partially human. Taylor gives the ick.

  • [Video] Australian police violently beat up protester with his hands up at demonstration against Israeli president Isaac Herzog visiting.

    Jump

  • I hope the people of Sydney keep protesting today after this. Every one of these policemen need to be held accountable, there is no justifiable context for this.

  • Punching bags

    Jump

  • What a flog. A lot of people need to resign over this, including Minns himself.

    There is no acceptable context for many of the videos we have seen.

  • Report: Feels Like We Should Be Making A Bigger Deal About Someone Throwing A Homemade Explosive Device Full Of Ball Bearings At Aboriginal People On January 26th

    Jump

  • The media is one thing, but the silence from politicians is deafening. I haven't checked in the last day but on the 27th I only saw 4 representatives from WA even mention it.

  • Poll: Date settled – Surge in support for Australia day from young Australians continues

    Jump

  • Roy Morgan polling found ~70% support for for 'celebrating Australia day on the 26th of January', but only around 59% for 'Australia day should not be moved from the 26th of January'.

  • Poll: Date settled – Surge in support for Australia day from young Australians continues

    Jump

  • Sigh... peak culture wars.

    The IPA is a right-wing think tank that pretty much exists to mislead the public, so take this data with a grain of salt. As a side note, that article really sounds like it's written by a teenager haha, the wording is so weird and cringy and not certainly not befitting a statistical report.

    It is true that the vast majority of Australians support celebrating on 26th January though, even if the extent may not be as large as portrayed here (pollsters generally seem to show ~60-70% support). But still, to have 30-40% of the population not keen on celebrating the national holiday is extreme (hell, even 10-20% would be pretty noteworthy). The notion that "the debate is over" is pretty flawed for that reason alone.

    Ultimately, even though I haven't really heard any strong arguments for keeping the date, I don't think there's enough public willpower to change the date until we one day leave the monarchy, and hopefully pick a nice date in summer to recognise a new level of independence as a nation.

  • Aurora australis set to light up Australian sky as agencies monitor ‘severe’ solar storm

    Jump

  • Well I tried...

  • Palestinian Australian author dropped from writers' festival after Bondi

    Jump

  • How dumb does an arts organisation have to be to still be doing shit like this? Melbourne symphony orchestra's reputation is still hurt (and they're still missing out on gigs, too) from cancelling that soloist that dedicated a piece to the journalists of Gaza, and that was a good two years ago.

  • This US naval communications station which was named after an Australian PM mysteriously went missing and was never seen again

    Jump

  • This place is so remote, the average bloke from WA doesn't even know it exists.

    Rise in holiday measles infections sparks health alerts in NSW, SA and Victoria

  • Get vaccinated ya bloody hippies

  • The end of 2025 must be the end of the inane rule of climate ‘optimism’ | The world missed its opportunity to prevent climate change. We need to focus our resources on adapting to it.

    Jump

  • It's far too late to prevent climate change but the EXTENT of change matters just as much as wether there is a change at all. Every fraction of a degree of warming counts for so much.

    We absolutely need to be investing in adaptation alongside our reduction of greenhouse gasses, but I worry the narrative of "it's too late" sends a counterproductive message (I.e. we failed, may as well continue polluting an enjoy our lives). Even if we have 2 degrees of warming it would still be worth fighting to avoid 2.1 degrees of warming imo.

  • A majority of Australians support banning pro-Palestine marches

    Jump

  • Not super familiar with Resolve polls but I do find this pretty difficult to believe, that only 16% of the country would OPPOSE a ban on Palestine protests. Would definitely need to see similar polling independently reproduced to take it seriously.

    That said, I'd wager a non-trivial chunk of the country is apathetic and would be against all protests, full stop.
