COMMENT

Binoy Kampmark: Fencing The Ocean - Australia’s Social Media Safety Bill

These laws constitute yet another effort to concentrate power and responsibilities best held by the citizenry in the hands of a bureaucratic-political class governed by paranoia and procedure.

Binoy Kampmark: Trump, AUKUS And Australia’s Dim Servitors

Australia’s government has abandoned all pretence of resistance, measure or judgment, outrageously willing to underwrite the US imperium in any of its needs in countering China, raiding the treasury of taxpayer funds to the tune of a figure that will, eventually, exceed A$368 billion.

Peter Dunne: Dunne's Weekly - The Wrong Answer To A Question That Does Not Exist

The Treaty is therefore our modus operandi for common nationhood. It is not about the dominance of one signatory over the other, but as Norman Kirk said, about how we all live together in these islands. In that regard, the Treaty Principles Bill is simply the wrong answer to a question that does not properly exist.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: Perception, Conception And Beauty

As we get older the perception of beauty becomes more difficult because memories & experiences fill the mind, leaving less & less space for seeing with innocence, as a child sees. It requires diligence to retain a purity of perception, though the very notion of purity is ridiculed by ruling elites.

Alastair Thompson: On The Publication Of The First NCQG Text 'New Collective Quantified Goal On Climate Finance'

COP29 is officially due to end on November 22nd but almost certainly will not do so, as there is not yet even a total number for climate finance on the table - which is one of the the things that Developing Nations are pushing for.
