The world desperately needs more people like Greta Thunberg.
Greta Thunberg is a hero. She could have made a very comfortable life making Macronic & Obamic platitudes sharing a stage with the likes of von der Leyen, but she went the opposite difficult path speaking truth to power and showing up the liberal establishment for what it is

Shame on the Israeli government. And shame on Labor for not speaking out in defence of these brave activists, including the six Australians who participated in the flotilla to Gaza.
Reports @GretaThunberg had been physically abused, dragged by her hair, tormented and forced to kiss the Israeli flag while being illegally detained by Israel - we are talking about a 22y young woman with Asperger’s who as trying to bring aid to a people enduring a genocide -
