SPEAKING TRUTH IN DANGEROUS TIMES: A CONVERSATION WITH GLOBALLY RENOWNED HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDER MA THIDA Drawing on her experience as a Burmese a writer and advocate for freedom of expression, Ma Thida reflects on what it means to write when words carry real risks.

Sydney is carrying a lot right now.

This city is made of many communities — and each one is grieving, fearful, and trying to cope in their own way.

Sending love to:
🕯️ Jewish communities feeling the weight of antisemitism and targeted hate
🕯️ Muslim communities bracing for backlash and rising Islamophobia
🕯️ The Bondi community — neighbours, workers, families — shaken and reeling
🕯️ Every person who lined up to give blood, to help strangers live
🕯️ First Nations Elders and community members holding space for healing on unceded land

No hot takes today. Just care.

We are stronger together — especially when we choose love, solidarity, and protection over fear. Harwood Art and Illustration

Please join us marching in solidarity with Palestinians to end the genocide.

12pm Sunday, 12 October at Forrest Place

Wear your union shirt or (NTEU) purple if you can!

JOIN US FOR THE NATIONWIDE MARCH FOR PALESTINE SUNDAY 24 AUGUST

Unions stand up every day for fairness, safety, and dignity. We fight for that not only for every worker in Western Australia, but for every person anywhere in the world.

The war on Gaza and the ongoing blockade of humanitarian aid goes against everything we stand for. It is an afront to humanity and decency, and an offence against peace and equality.

We encourage every Union member to join us at Forrest Place on Sunday 24 August to march with us to defy the falsehood that there is no path to peace, safety, and security for the Palestinian people.

There is a very clear and achievable path to self-determination for Palestinians and a sovereign state of Palestine.

Come down and march with us ✊

Australia’s shame

Bills of shame The treatment of asylum seekers is a national sickness. There are no limits to the vindictiveness. Nothing is too immoral. No measures are beyond the brutality of our ferret-eyed politicians.
