Despite saying it would be "insane" for him to return, there are rumblings that Steven Moffat wrote the 2024 Doctor Who Christmas Special.
The scale of deliberate Israeli cruelty against the Gazan people over the past five months is still difficult for Australians to absorb. But internationally, a key political fact has clearly emerged: that Israel, the US and their supportive Western allies (like Australia, to our nation’s shame) have now shredded any moral standing on the issue of Continue reading »
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese makes great play of his ambition to establish Australia as a Renewable Energy Superpower, a laudable ambition if it can be pulled off. But if ambition is to become more than platitudes, the Prime Minister needs to fundamentally reset current climate policy. Rather than sticking to the government’s inadequate 2022 election Continue reading »
This will stop when the United States stops providing the munitions to Israel. It will not stop by any self-control in Israel. There is none in this government. Republished from Middle East Eye, March 11, 2024 Transcript: Israel has deliberately starved the people of Gaza. Starved. I’m not using an exaggeration, I’m talking literally starving Continue reading »

The ailing nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty requires ‘effective measures’ to regain its health, writes Dr Marianne Hanson, Co-Chair of ICAN Australia. Last week marked the 54th anniversary of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The treaty was designed to freeze the number of states with nuclear weapons – beyond the five countries that had already developed these Continue reading »
At over 40 percent of net migration, Australia’s overseas student program was growing unsustainably before the pandemic. The border closures hid many of the problems and led the Coalition Government to make policy changes that made the situation much worse when borders re-opened (unrestricted work rights, fee-free visa applications, covid visa). The Albanese Government significantly Continue reading »
The deplorable vandalism of our sacred space by individuals, who, most likely have never experienced war and its consequences, staggers the imagination, writes Gavin O’Brein after “Eyes on Gaza” was spray painted on the Vietnam war memorial, Canberra. I am a Vietnam Veteran, a conscript under National Service, who spent just under a year deployed Continue reading »
For five months now, our screens have been bombarded by images depicting Israel’s air and ground assault on Gaza. This extraordinary footage, this apocalyptic scene, shows just how widespread that destruction has been. Israel is still denying foreign journalists independent access to Gaza. We’re in Israel, about a kilometre from the border, reports the ABC’s Continue reading »
The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced that 2,000 healthcare workers in the northern Gaza Strip will begin the month of Ramadan without suhoor (the pre-dawn) or iftar (breakfast) meals. Ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qudra said in a statement: “Medical teams are working around the clock in northern Gaza and have nothing to eat.” Continue reading »
GIMMS response to the The UK House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee inquiry
Brian Beutler had a keen insight in his newsletter today (you can subscribe here) into what’s driving some of Trump’s decisions right now and it seems pretty obvious to me that he is right. Trump is desperate for money and he is open for business, even on Social Security and Medicare which is extremely risky for him: Trump appeared on CNBC Monday—his first mainstream or quasi-mainstream interview in many weeks—and, when prodded over whether he’d reconsidered his position on entitlements, said he will indeed consider cutting the country’s two big retirement programs for seniors. Just like a fusty old Republican. “So first of all, there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements in terms of cutting and in terms of also the theft and the bad management of entitlements,” Trump said. “There’s tremendous amounts of things and numbers of things you can do,” he added, before lapsing into blather. If you’re deep in the weeds on this stuff or a certain kind of know-it-all you can argue there’s nothing new here.
Hey, thanks for coming out here. Yeah, we’ve been having trouble with this bathroom sink. So, uh, you know, have at it.
I’m still here, by the way. Not, like, here here—I’ve backed up enough to give you what feels like a healthy amount of personal space. But I am still close enough to watch you work on the sink. Not because I think you need supervision or because I don’t trust you or anything. I guess because you might have questions? Although if I was the type of person who could provide intelligent answers to questions about sinks, I probably would not have needed to call you in the first place.
So, yeah, I guess I have no idea why I’m still standing here, but for some reason it feels like it would be ruder to leave, especially now that I’ve already stayed here for what feels like between six seconds and an hour. So I’ll stick around.
