Podcast from The Guardian

Full Story

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was unequivocal in its report this week: human activity is causing rapid, and potentially catastrophic, changes to the climate. Editor Lenore Taylor and head of news Mike Ticher unpick the climate rhetoric of prime minister Scott Morrison and his deputy Barnaby Joyce in response to the landmark report.

About Me

My photo
The Worker
I was inspired to start this when I discovered old editions of "The Worker". "The Worker" was first published in March 1890, it was the Journal of the Associated Workers of Queensland. It was a Political Newspaper for the Labour Movement. The first Editor was William "Billy" Lane who strongly supported the iconic Shearers' Strike in 1891. He planted the seed of New Unionism in Queensland with the motto “that men should organise for the good they can do and not the benefits they hope to obtain,” he also started a Socialist colony in Paraguay. Because of the right-wing bias in some sections of the Australian media, I feel compelled to counter their negative and one-sided version of events. The disgraceful conduct of the Murdoch owned Newspapers in the 2013 Federal Election towards the Labor Party shows how unrepresentative some of the Australian media has become.
