Leo Crnogorcevic聽takes a look at how Prime Minister Scott Morrison鈥檚 business-as-usual approach on the climate crisis is increasing risks for workers who are already inadequately protected when it comes to extreme weather conditions.

Bernie Sanders' campaign slogan 鈥淣ot me, us鈥 is a powerful differentiator from the rest of the Democratic establishment, for whom returning to the status quo by simply deposing Trump is enough, writes Leo Crnogorcevic.
Greta Thunberg delivers her thoughts on next steps for the School Strike 4 Climate movement with precise accuracy. Her call for a "concrete plan鈥 and 鈥渘ot just nice words鈥 reveals how all climate activism should be rooted in mass action, rather than rhetoric.
Following the re-election of the Coalition government, Prime Minister Scott Morrison flagged the need for industrial relations (IR) reforms. Under the fa莽ade of 鈥渆nsuring integrity鈥 and 鈥渋mproving productivity鈥, these reforms seek to once again attack trade unions and workers.
After the milestone School Strike 4 Climate (SS4C) rallies on November 30 last year, the movement faces a critical point writes high school activist Leo Crnogorcevic.
The latter part of 2018 will be remembered for the re-emergence of climate action on the national agenda.
This November 30, I, along with hundreds 鈥 possibly thousands 鈥 of high school students will be participating in a student strike for climate action, writes Leo Crnogorcevic.
It has started again.
This week鈥檚 statement by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull that there is 鈥済enuine concern about Sudanese gangs鈥 suggests we have reached the epitome of this ongoing scare campaign. Offering the same rhetoric the Victorian Liberals have has been drumming out for the best part of the past two years, Turnbull unashamedly entered the fray.
The Victorian Labor government鈥檚 final budget before the November state election is strong on spending 鈥 for health, education and public transport, but unfortunately also for toll roads and law and order.
You could be forgiven for thinking that the Victorian state government鈥檚 March 29 announcement to arm its police with semi-automatic, military-grade weapons was an early April Fool鈥檚 joke.
After all, the announcement came in the aftermath of yet another mass shooting in the United States. It also came after the Crime Statistics Agency published data on March 15 showing that crime rates have fallen by 9.9%.
The normalisation of the war on terror has become the standard refrain from the mainstream media (MSM), which would rather sensationalise and beat up stories of petty crime than investigate corporate crime.
The so called 鈥渞iots鈥, supposedly orchestrated by a Dandenong-based Apex gang in the aftermath of the 2016 Moomba Parade, is a case in point. The media is attempting to whip up fear to promote the major parties 鈥渢ough on crime鈥 approach, but the reality is that crime rates all over the country are falling.
