Senator Mehreen Faruqi, the Greens deputy leader, has filed a lawsuit against One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson over a tweet telling her to pack her bags and piss off back to Pakistan. The tweet was a response to comments made by Senator Faruqi after the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September last year.

Senator Faruqi wrote, Condolences to those who knew the Queen. I cannot mourn the leader of a racist empire built on stolen lives, land and wealth of colonised peoples. We are reminded of the urgency of Treaty with First Nations, justice & reparations for British colonies & becoming a republic.

This week, Senator Faruqi has filed legal documents in the Federal Court, alleging unlawful offensive behaviour against Senator Hanson. She seeks compensation in the form of preventing Senator Hanson from publicly using the phrases piss off back to Pakistan and go back to where you came from, as well as any variations of these phrases.

Senator Faruqi, who moved to Australia from Pakistan in 1992, wants Senator Hanson to delete the tweet and post a new one stating she has been found to have committed unlawful offensive behaviour against Senator Faruqi on the basis of race. Senator Faruqi is also seeking a financial contribution from Senator Hanson of $150,000 to a not-for-profit or community organisation of Senator Faruqis choice, as well as requiring Senator Hanson to undergo anti-racism training at her own expense.

Senator Faruqi believes that Senator Hansons comments were offensive and triggering for many migrants, and that her brand of hate has hurt migrant communities of colour for too long.

This court action is about holding her accountable and using the Racial Discrimination Act to prevent her from engaging in bigoted conduct that hurts people in the future, Senator Faruqi said.

She added that she is drawing a line in the sand and that Senator Hanson cannot keep insulting and humiliating [migrants]without any serious consequences. Go back to where you came from is a racial slur that most migrants and people of colour have endured, she added.

A political leader in the United States has signed a controversial new law which allows sex offenders to be executed in child rape convictions, despite a previous ruling by the US Supreme Court that banned capital punishment in such cases.

The legislation from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, which will take effect on October 1, will authorise the state to pursue capital punishment when an adult is convicted of sexually battering a child under 12. The move is part of a broader criminal justice package released by the governor, which includes enhanced criminal penalties for selling fentanyl disguised as candy.

DeSantis is expected to soon announce his candidacy against Donald Trump for the Republican Partys nomination for US president, and his latest moves appears to be an attempt at making criminal justice reform a cornerstone of his platform. DeSantis is likely relying on an appeal to the US Supreme Court against his law, generating publicity for him and possibly even a win the court is now tipped in favour of conservatives, after a series of Trump appointees.

Critics of the new law argue that it violates the Eighth Amendments prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. However, DeSantis has defended his decision, stating that the most heinous crimes deserve the most severe punishment.

Were really delivering a big agenda, DeSantis said. So this is one important but admittedly very small part of an overall large agenda and very bold agenda thats really setting the terms of the debate for the country, quite frankly.

In addition to the child rape bill, DeSantis also signed two other components of his criminal justice package. One of the bills ends a requirement for unanimous jury decisions in death penalty cases, allowing capital punishment with a jury recommendation of at least 8-4 in favour of execution.

The other bill requires the Florida Supreme Court to develop a uniform bond schedule for state courts to follow and bars a chief judge from setting bond below the schedule.

In practice, the death penalty in the US is only used in homicide cases, and then only when certain cr...

In Australia, the leader of the ALP and his treasurer are spending like drunken sailors, the bar having been previously raised by short-lived PM Morrison, who got through $200 billion per year with the excuse of Covid-19 relief.

Reading the tea leaves:

Morrison seemed to think it was his job to lose gracefully in 2019 and the ALP would handle the upcoming plandemic with an all possible governments synchronised concept. He was somewhat green but had survived as immigration minister and had a run as treasurer. Morrison could barely believe his stratospheric career trajectory and subsequently had no grand vision and apparently no authorisation to do anything, apart from implementing Covid-19 measures. He went about talking for a few years and no real effort was made by any individual in the Conse...

The regular claims that superhero stories are a kind of modern mythology almost never account for the fact that these are corporate-owned characters, fiercely protected. In 2014, DC Entertainment refused at first to let the Superman logo be used on the gravestone of a murdered five-year-old boy. The American Bar Association wrote that DCs aggressive policing echoes Batmans own crime-fighting, and that no one is immune, even deceased children.

IBAC report finds sex pests remain a problem for the force

Victorias anti-corruption body has found predatory sexual behaviour is rife within police ranks, with victims of crimes among those most at risk.

The review, conducted by the independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC), assessed 27 Victoria Police internal investigations into alleged predatory behaviour between 2018 and 2022.

Its aim was to scrutinise the thoroughness of those investigations and whether appropriate sanctions were dealt.

But despite findings that Victoria Police handle most allegations of predatory behaviour well, with a victim-centred approach, IBAC has found evidence sex pests remain a problem for the force.

IBAC Deputy Commissioner Kylie Kilgour said predatory behaviour involves an officer misusing their position to begin, or attempt to begin, an emotional or sexual relationship with someone they meet in the course of their duties.

It can also relate to the sexual assault, stalking, harassment or grooming of a person, Ms Kilgour said.

Despite efforts undertaken by Victoria Police over recent years, our review shows that predatory behaviour continues.

We found women experiencing domestic or family violence were targets of predatory behaviour by police officers and more than half of all cases reviewed indicated a pattern of behaviour by the perpetrator against more than one person.

Consensual relationships within Victoria Police can be considered predatory due to power imbalance or other circumstances.

Victoria Police, in 2014, set up Taskforce Salus, to investigate...

A hundred scientists have signed a letter calling on the Northern Territory government to abandon plans for fracking the Beetaloo Basin. They say the project will inflict damage on our climate if it goes ahead.

The letter has been published in national newspapers. It reflects calls from the International Energy Agency, the United Nations, and experts around the world calling for an end to fossil fuel development.

The government claim that the project is necessary to avert what it says is an energy doesnt hold water. There are many other ways to produce energy. Ignoring this, the fracking of Beetaloo was approved last month. The justification used was a flawed report of the Pepper Inquiry that found new risks involved. This was a case of whitewashing, because the inquirys scope was limited to inevitably produce a wrong report, according to the scientists.

They say the Northern Territory is failing to keep its commitment to implement all the recommendations of the Scientific Inquiry into Hydraulic Fracturing., aimed at ensuring there is no net increase of emissions emitted in Australia from fracking.

The signatories claim that the [project will could add up to 89 million tonnes of emissions to the atmosphere every year, which is equivalent to four times current emissions of the Northern Territory.

Australia has been suffering severe bushfire seasons, intense flooding rains, were seeing our coral reefs die off before our eyes all of these events are costing the Australian economy hugely, UNSW Professor Matthew England said. He is a specialist in oceans and the impact of global climate change.

Australians overwhelmingly believe that whistleblowers make Australia a better place and should be protected, not prosecuted, finds new research by The Australia Institute and the Human Rights Law Centre. 

The new polling is being released to coincide with the United Nations World Press Freedom Day and comes as pressure builds on Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus KC to implement comprehensive reforms to whistleblower protections and discontinue the prosecutions of whistleblowers Richard Boyle and David McBride.

Key Findings:  

• Three in four (76%) say whistleblowers make Australia a better place.  

• An overwhelming majority of Australians (84%) support stronger legal protection for whistleblowers.  

• Most Australians think that the government is too secretive about how it deals with allegations of corruption (60%) and how it spends money (51%). 

• Four in five (79%) support the introduction of an Australian whistleblower protection authority. 

• A majority of Australians think the government should intervene to end the prosecution of whistleblowers Boyle (71%) and McBride (64%). 

• Since the Australia Institute last polled on this issue in November 2021, perceptions of whistleblowers have remained largely consistent, and in some respects increased. 

Kieran Pender, Senior Lawyer at the Human Rights Law Centre says:

Whistleblowers and journalists play a critical role in exposing wrongdoing and ensuring accountability in Australian public life.

But press freedom is significantly undermined when whistleblowers are on trial for telling the truth to the media, and whistleblowing laws offer weak protections that arent working in practice. 

"The Albanese Government must drop the prosecutions, fix the law and establish a whistleblower protection authority. 

Bill Browne, Director of Democracy and Accountability at The Australia Institute says:

Its clear that Australians want whistleblowers to be better protected, not punished. Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus did the right thing when he dropped the prosecution of Bernard Collaery, but he has unfinished business: the unjust and cruel prosecutions of Richard Boyle and David McBride.

There is something broken in Australias legal system when large corporations get a slap on the wrist for leaking confidential government information to multinational clients, but whistleblowers exposing alleged war crimes or unfair treatment of small businesses face years of jail time.

BEING gifted at one sport takes dedication, sacrifice and mental strength to perfect your craft; to do it across two completely different sports takes that engagement to another level. 

Telaya Blacksmith from remote Lajamanu in the Northern Territory is a rising star who is doing exactly that. 

Telaya is breaking records in athletics in the 100m, 200m and 400m and making giant strides in long-jump. And as a massive Aussie rules football fan, Telaya is making great gains at the Sydney Swans Academy. 

The teenagers love of track and field events started with Little Athletics and has blossomed through time. 

I loved running and the feeling of being in the moment, she said. 

With athletics, too, youre also meeting lots of new people in competitions. I think Ive grown a lot in this sport. 

The 400m is the hardest. You have to have speed but also endurance and you need to pace yourself when you run it. Theres a lot of thinking in that event and you really have to focus.

I always looked up to Cathy Freeman and have watched her runs on YouTube, she was amazing, it made me want to do that. With the long-jump its about challenging yourself to jump further.

TRADITIONAL owners have expressed outrage over the start of construction of a new fertiliser plant on WAs world heritage nominated Burrup Peninsula. 

Multinational petrochemical company Perdaman is building a $6 billion facility to produce urea about 20 kilometres northwest of Karratha. 

Its the first industrial construction in more than a decade on the rock art-rich peninsula that was formally nominated for UNESCOs world heritage list in February. 

This important project represents a significant investment in the Pilbara and WA, underlining the regions role as the engine room of Australias economy, Premier Mark McGowan said when making the announcement. 

It is estimated the project will create thousands of jobs within the state and generate a total revenue of $77 billion over its life. 

The plant will convert natural gas from Woodsides Scarborough Gas Project into an estimated 2.3 million tonnes of urea

In a surprising though not unprecedented move, Chile announced plans to nationalize its lithium industry, following similar efforts in resource nationalism among major producers of battery metals. Although implementation of the reforms is expected to be gradual and keep existing contracts intact, the decision stands to influence the political will and feasibility for other lithium producers to follow suit. In seeking to indigenize and retain a greater portion of the value chain in their mining sector, the policies instituted by Chile and other lithium producers have significant implications for the global energy market as demand for electric vehicles and renewable infrastructure soars.

At present, Chile possesses the worlds largest lithium reserves and is the 2^nd largest producer, behind Australia. In its return to resource nationalism, Chile seeks to secure its domestic supply and maximize revenue generation from this strategic resource, positioning itself as a leading player in the global battery metals market. Santiagos move toward greater state control of critical minerals precedes a similar phased plan for copper nationalization dating back to the 1950s and ending with the military coup in 1973 that removed the left-wing government of then-President Salvador Allende.

May Day has long been a day when workers across he planet and participate in Marches and other activities to express their unity, common interests, and aspire to a shared future on the first day of the month. The first place where this took part was in Melbourne  Australia. and became a major global event after the Haymarket police killing of unionists in 1886 at Haymarket in the Unite States. In 1889 the International Socialist Conference declared that this day would become a regular feature in commemoration of Haymarket, that it would hold up the banner saying workers of the world unite, and resolved that  May 1 would be an international holiday.

In 2023 May Day came at a time characterised by economic headwinds and policy destroying traditional jobs and spreading insecure work, falling living standards, a climate crisis, and failing legitimacy of traditional politics, at a time when the world is just emerging from extended Covid related isolation of individuals.

Concern about what the future may bring is starting to turn from bewilderment to noticeable anger. There is a growing understanding that a few are scooping all the benefits and everyone lese is having to do without.

It was inevitable that May Day was going to be special this year. Most of the attention has been on France, where the movement against Macrons imposition of  an older age for retirement has sparked a movement that represents most of the French population and will have far reaching consequences. In fact, the change was imposed by decree, instead of through the supposedly democratic process. This has further exposed the political establishment and the partisan nature of the law.

There is also the ongoing issue of police violence that has caused widespread calls or something to be done about it. The police are used to strike out against political opponents of the government. The use of tear gas, wate...

The Human Rights Law Centre supports all elements of the Uluru Statement from the Heart the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution, Treaty and Truth-telling.  

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people know what is best to achieve justice and self-determination. First peoples have the solutions to end the systemic violations of human rights and the knowledge to build strong communities. The establishment of a First Nations Voice has the potential to allow for First Nations Voices to be elevated and heard. 

As we work towards enshrining a constitutional Voice to Parliament, Treaty and Truth-telling processes should also be progressed across the country. The Human Rights Law Centre also remains committed to supporting the daily and ongoing work led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities towards a fair legal system that is free from racial injustice.  

This referendum could be a pivotal moment in the history of colonial Australia. The Human Rights Law Centre believes the Voice is a step towards breaking down the barriers that stand in the way of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people advancing rights, sovereignty and self-determination.  
 
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples sovereignty is inherent and self-existent. International human rights law also recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' right to self-determination. This right sits alongside and is inseparable from the full range of other fundamental rights including equality and non-discrimination. It is time Australian laws and policies caught up.  

Continuing from the processes which led to the Uluru Statement, we understand that many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people believe the Voice will be a meaningful and powerful way of realising and advancing the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.  

We recognise the differing and valid perspectives in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities on how to achieve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander justice and self-determination. We respect the range of opinions of our colleagues and partner organisations and have reached this position after careful consideration. 

It is our view that the Voice to Parliament is but one step towards correcting one of the historical legal injustices of colonisation in Australia. For this reason, we support the proposed constitutional amendment as a step towards self-determination.

The G7, formed in 1975, is an intergovernmental political forum of seven member states of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union (EU). Historically, these countries are amongst the most influential ones, with significant political, economic, and military power. Japan assumed the G7 Presidency for 2023 and the 49th G7 Summit is scheduled to be held from 19-21 May 23 at Hiroshima.

Considering the increasing role of other countries in global politics, the G20 (Group of Twenty) was created which included emerging economies such as Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea and Turkey, along with the countries of the G7. Though the G20 was formed in 1999, initially it was attended only by finance ministers and central bank governors. The G20 represents over 80% of global GDP and two-thirds of the worlds population and provides a platform for both advanced and emerging economies to discuss and implement coordinated international responses on globally important issues, making it the premier forum for economic cooperation. India assumed the G20 Presidency for 2023 and the 18th G20 Heads of State and Government Summit will be held in New Delhi in September 2023.

Importance of critical minerals  

Critical minerals are those non-fuel minerals that are essential for the economic and national security of a country, but are vulnerable to supply chain disruption. These include lithium, cobalt, graphite, copper, rare earth elements, and platinum group metals, amongst others. These minerals are essential for clean energy technologies such as wind turbines, solar PV panels, storage batteries and electric vehicles. Therefore, their availability plays an important role in the sustainable energy transition.

The supply-demand gap of critical minerals in widening. The IEA forecasts that, driven by increasing deployment of clean energy technologies, the overall demand for critical minerals could increase by as much as six times by 2040, with the demand for lithium, graphite, cobalt and nickel increasing...

Meanwhile Trixie Gave in her quiet way ~ And left not a single word For me to rhymesay
At least other donors gave Words to make use of ~ So now I commence against English abusove
Im not even trans so ~ Dont genocide me bro
Ever since it was the 80s ~ I wanted to be one of those rap ladies
Rhyming like this re-Quires some strategy ~ You can play it safe and Avoid a tragedy
But then my bro asked for Salpingooophrectomy ~ That son of a bltch thinks That shlt will get to me

Zelensky is slick. He is now lining his pockets with the goal of becoming a billionaire when he flees to his estate in Miami. He is now trying to sell off all state assets in the fossil fuel sector to corporations like ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Halliburton. Of course, these companies are all showing that war is coming. The volatility rises sharply from 2024 on and a critical target will be 2026. This is what makes me think that the Neocons will do whatever it takes to stop Trump and that will include even assassinating him as they did to JFK to wage their war against Russia in Vietnam.

Armed U.S. Drones, U.S. Navy Ship Assist in Evacuation of American Citizens in War-torn Sudan

A U.S. official confirmed to NBC News on Sunday that a U.S. Navy ship, the USNS Brunswick, has arrived in Port Sudan, Sudan, to assist with the effort to evacuate American citizens.

April 30, 2023, 2:30 PM EDT

By Josh Lederman and Henry Austin

Armed drones escorted hundreds of Americans as they began their escape from war-torn Sudan on Saturday amid fierce fighting between the military and a rival paramilitary group.

The unmanned aerial vehicles flew above a convoy of buses as they made the 500-mile journey from the African nations capital, Khartoum, to Port Sudan on the country's east coast, a U.S. official familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News. Several hundred Americans were on board at least a dozen buses, said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly.

A U.S. official confirmed to NBC News on Sunday that a U.S. Navy ship, the USNS Brunswick, has arrived in Port Sudan, Sudan, to assist with the effort to evacuate American citizens.

The official says that it is likely that some of the U.S. citizens who arrived in Port Sudan via the U.S.-organized bus convoy will board the ship to leave Sudan, but details are still being worked out.

Officials said that the U.S. government was likely to release more exact figures of the number evacuated in the convoy once the Americans had made it safely to the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah. 

Separately, a Pentagon spokesperson said the Department of Defense deployed U.S. intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets to support air and land evacuation routes, which Americans are using.

Sabrina Singh, the deputy Pentagon press secretary, said the U.S. was moving naval assets within the region to provide any necessary support along the coast and that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had approved a request for assistance from the Department of State to support the safe departure.
