  • thugs trying to intimidate a jury in a court case will have to do so out of court after they were banned from the court (I don't consider adequate thought has been given to out of court protection in this instance), former NSW police have claimed one of their colleagues from the 1970s was corrupt (the risk of corruption is always there with police powers: the famous Fitzgerald  Enquiry in Qld showed what the great flying peanut had allowed [but did not catch all the crooked cops, which is why a relative of mine left that force], Victoria Police introduced measures to address the cyclic nature of this problem, and that risk of corruption [which, together with bigotry, makes the police unable to serve the community] is one of the reasons I want police both better supported and monitored for the emotional and mental scarring their job causes), thousands of survivors of a devastating fire in Sierra Leone need aid, abuse of workers at a major tech/online shopping company, Scott has appointed a transphobe to a new position allegedly for women, Australia's environment is suffering - and it will get worse, something Scott and his clique have not realised despite their empathy classes: stressing people who are struggling to make ends meet reduces their functionality - as do toxic workplaces for workers, stupidity and bigotry of judges and lawyers in rape trials continues to be a problem, more delays to democracy in Somalia, Myanmar security forces kill over 100 peaceful protesters on "Day of Armed Forces" - total now over 500, new report on Qatar's discriminatory male guardianship system, regime in Belarus cracks down on independent journalism, Syria aid conference should focus on rights, Islamist gunmen attack town in Mozambique, comment on racism in the US, online trolls, crackdown on YouTubers in Rwanda, Russia’s abusive “undesirable foreign organisation” law, crackdown on free media in Hungary, forced disappearances and alleged torture in Lebanon, Jordanian authorities deport Yemeni asylum seekers, action against corruption in South Africa, the past decade has seen warnings of possible strandings of megaships in the Suez Canal which were ignored,

    human, animal, plant or mineral,
    help all who touch these places,
    to truly know and care for them,
    for their own innate worth. 

    Brigid, Maeve and Aset,
    inspire and help all those who care for the bush or fight bushfires,
    let them fulfil their duties with passion and inspiration;
    and inspire and heal those tempted to do harm
    to such responsibility and caring
    that they can NOT commit such sacrilege,
    but may Ma’at bring swiftly to justice all who do
    make such sacrilege.

    Nu Kua, bringer of order to chaos,
    bring your ordered way to the wild places;
    let the rains fall and the winds blow when and where they are needed;
    Durga, protector against demons,
    set boundaries on any fires which may occur,
    and protect the wild places from the demon “bushfire”;
    Cerridwen, transform all harm and damage done into growth: death into rebirth.

    Gyhldeptis,
    we call on you to help synthesise all these threads,
    love, responsibility, inspiration, justice;
    ordered rain and wind, protective boundaries, transformation;
    help these many ways become one great whole,
    for the good of all the wild places, and all the wild life.
    throughout this coming bushfire season and beyond.

    Artemis, Baba Yaga, Pachamama, Cernunnos,
    Let us love the wild places;
    Brigid, Maeve, Aset and Ma’at,
    Heal and inspire responsibility and justice;
    Nu Kua, Durga and Cerridwen,

(how are they going to identify VEs - ask them? Ask others and allow petty minded revenge over trivialities?),   Saudi Arabia has spent $1.5 billion on sportswashing, questionable decisions by courts in the USA have put attorney-client privilege at risk and left a human rights defender under extremely prolonged house detention for a misdemeanour after an oil company resisted paying damages in another nation, the scandal over the culture in our national Parliament continues - see here, here, here, here, and here, claims a rise in the superannuation guarantee is the only way Australians are going to be able to adequately afford retirement without overburdening the pension system, minor progress at freeing the ship which is blocking a staggering proportion of international trade, China has imposed retaliatory sanctions for being called out over one of its genocides, possible cyber attacks at Parliament House and a TV station, toxic masculinity in Australia dates back to the early days of the white invasion, MPs are still not listening to people's desire around smaller housing options, state elections in India, a warning not to leave Afghanistan before a power sharing deal is reached or the misogynistic terrorists will regain complete control,
