Seems a very risky venture to me.

This could be a huge setback for Australia's tea tree oil industry.

Bearing witness to the parts of the whole - Very powerful piece of writing by Abdel-Fattah.

One of these days I might read an article that has something nice to say about boomers, but I won't hold my breath. Had to laugh at the sentence about left-wing boomers and guilt about "comfortable post-war lifestyles." The war ended 80yrs ago but apparently life's been a "piece of cake" since then.

This is really sad. Only 28 years old. Melanoma on his scalp the cause. Just terrible. 😔

"Praises God." Spare me. Where's "God" been while Palestinians, Ukrainians, Iranians, Lebanese, and so many others die in horrible ways? People like this make me want to scream. "God was looking after ME, ME, ME." More importantly, how's the cow? #politas

Australia's Medicare has its problems, but I'll take it any day over this shit.

Carrots are the only recognisable food on the plate. What's that thing that looks like an inner sole for a shoe?

Australia's response. 🖕

"Life is getting harder. We can't afford everything now." They have cut back on food essentials. As they sit in a cafe, drinking lattes. 🤔

This is happening all over Australia. Caravan parks are no longer "forever" homes as they once were. At least, in Tasmania, legislation was introduced to protect the rights of long-term residents.

Seems Bluesky is having a meltdown.

"Everyone deserves a second chance." She left out "if they're white." She is such a horrid woman. #auspol

I remain unclear on what these Australian "values" actually are. No, "mateship" isn't a value. Values aren't a homogeneous, one size fits all concept. It's not like our politicians demonstrate basic values of honesty, integrity, or trustworthiness. #auspol

The whole world should be horrified by this. Sanction the fuck out of Israel. And stop supplying them with the means to commit genocide. Why is this so fucking complicated?!?

It has always been thus. The USA is all about the USA.

That initial support for this US debacle is looking a bit stupid now, isn't it Albo? Get us out of AUKUS now. Pay whatever penalty we have to. Let's cut our losses and run. #auspol

Literally hundreds of studies show this. Its Covid infection, not vaccination, that causes cardiac damage. We need someone to promote this message strongly because Shane Warne was one of the first high profile deaths from something that looks a lot like Covid sequelae. bsky.app/profile/canc...

He blames the government and the Covid vaccine because he can't accept that his father's lifestyle choices led to his death. Warne also had a bout of Covid severe enough to require ventilation. That would have weakened his already compromised heart further. It wasn't the vaccine.

Excellent article by Amy Remeikis.

We always realise too late what we should have been doing.

I hope the ombudsman says the automated assessment tool should be ditched. It's obviously not working and leaving people worse off than before. #auspol #agedcare

The 300000 people about to lose their healthcare are going to be so much better. They'll be better than they've ever been under the care of Dr. Jesus Trump.

Chris Bowen reminds the media it was Labor in 2023 who put the law in place for fuel reserves to be kept in Australia after “4 refineries closed” under the Coalition. “It hadn’t happened until then” “If I was the Liberal Party, I’d stay pretty quiet about these matters.”🔥 #auspol

The Huon Legislative Council elections are coming up. Libs don't even have a candidate, not that they need one. Their representative is "independent" Dean Harriss. I don't live in the Huon now, but I did for 28yrs. The good candidates are Paul Gibson, Clare Glade-Wright and Michael Rowan. #politas

I think societal framing of autism needs to improve along the lines of we have built society for neurotypical brains, and need to assist neurodivergent brains navigate the incompatibility that has been created.

A good insight into trying to navigate the NDIS 👇 and the internal and external unfounded pressures upon it and autistic people. 1/

What is interesting about this post is that the poster is having a dig at baby boomers, but if you actually check the facts, 59% of Trump's votes actually came from Gen X and Millennials. 30-49yo 28%, 50-64yo 31%, 65+you 29%. Sure, there are fewer boomers alive, but it's not all them.

Let's not forget why the Strait of Hormuz is closed. It was open until the US and Israel decided to bomb Iran. If PM Albanese could be courageous and fast track Australia to renewable energy instead of doubling down on the very fossil fuel dependence that leaves us exposed to global instability.

As I can attest in regards to my adult daughter. Those assessed as level two autistic do fall through the cracks. Not "disabled enough" for adequate assistance, yet not able enough to effectively live an independent life. At almost 65, I am still actively parenting my adult child. #NDIS
