Centrism is dead, but the corpse lingers on. paintingfakes.blogspot.com/2026/05/the-...

Smart countries learned the vital importance of mitigating vulnerability to fossil fuel dependency & planned a path to decarbonized sovereignty 👀 www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/aga... Others are still sharing tired ideas that'll lock in further dependency & enrich the industry flogging it 🙄

Not to be forgotten.

In light in these events, I do think we need more gun control. Anyone off the street shouldn't be able to just walk in and buy a gun. There should be MANDATORY marksmanship lessons for all gun owners.

Marvellous!🎉 Bring on the tax (be ambitious!) & I hope WoodCIDE's projects go away & die Would rather have the irreplaceable Murujuga rock art culture & knowledge library, less environmental destruction, less pollution & improved chances of a liveable climate for life on earth

Here's a probably over-long but (at least to me) fascinating dive into the story of Jesus and the Gerasene demoniac. Just why DID Jesus drown all those pigs, and what can we learn from that? paintingfakes.blogspot.com/2026/04/legi...

Absolute madness. #Alcoa #Ecoterrorists #wapol #auspol

This is a classic example of the 'dictator illusion'. No one person can rule a country the size of the US. It takes thousands of people. Trump is the chief sales person for a large network of oligarchs who are enriching themselves on the back of mayhem and destruction.

This is actually appalling. As Australia has a significant Lebanese community I would expect condemnation from @albomp.bsky.social @tonyburkemp.bsky.social and Penny Wong. #Auspol.

“police allege the women had changed into Difficult Women t-shirts to hide their identities” ah yes that well publicised and serious charge of wearing a t-shirt to “hide your identity” from people with guns and coercive powers of the state. www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/escalat...

This is beyond disgraceful ... the lack of coverage in the western press is at best unprofessional at worst racist and another confirmation the right's unending campaign against the UN is bearing fruit.

"In 2025, five Palestinian writers and 15 Jewish writers appeared. And this year we planned to include three Palestinian and 12 Jewish writers." So in shutting down Adelaide Writers' Week Australia's Zionist lobby managed to silence 12 Jewish writers. johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03...

It's moments like this I feel smug about riding my bike everywhere.

So, in case you were wondering, it's illegal for local councils to evict homeless people from parks and take or destroy their stuff. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Remember we are talking about children here. They did not 'make this bed', why should they have to lie in it? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

So, the 'Isis Brides'. - 23 are children. They are not responsible for anything. - All 34 are Australian citizens, entitled to return. - None of them has been convicted of a crime, or even charged. The idea that we should leave them in a crappy camp forever is cruel. This is not 'social cohesion'.

In any other administration, this would be a HUGE story! But in this regime, it gets lost with the daily onslaught of corruption.

Want to boost business in your local cmshopping precinct? Make it easier for people to walk or ride there.

PM: “I have nothing but contempt for these people… “ ABC: What about the children? PM: “That is the responsibility of their parents and their mothers in particular… their mothers made this decision to travel overseas against the national interest…”

If you ever wonder who is the greatest threat to world peace...

This is truly terrifying, like the Nazis we are simply erasing people from existence, and it is happening without anyone questioning it.

Never heard of Edward Bellamy? Me neither, but in the late 19th century he was big news. paintingfakes.blogspot.com/2026/02/edwa...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

What does it mean to be united as Australians? paintingfakes.blogspot.com/2026/01/unit...

Too easy Albo. Royal Commission terms of ref to include Netanyahu effect on antisemitism and Murdoch's The Israelian & other media peddling lies for a foreign lobby (their effect). That'll sort it

I made a submission to the Senate inquiry into the proposed Environment Protection Reform Bill. Here's a copy of my text. TL:DR - it's not very good. paintingfakes.blogspot.com/2025/11/refo...

I agree with the Liberal Party. Net zero is a scam and we should abandon it. It's like saying it's OK to commit murder as long as you pay a surrogate to have a baby at the same time. Also, that it's ok to procure multiple murders in another country because that's the other country's problem.

2009 He had accepted a chocolate Freddo Frog worth 70 cents from a friend who had allegedly stolen it. 'But the incident is far from amusing. The case gave a revealing insight into the entrenched racism of WA's "justice" system. Indigenous people in WA are the most imprisoned people in the world.'

I think this is absolutely correct. The right wing of politics has been very quick to harness this anger and turn it to their own ends, which are mainly 'make rich people richer'. The mainstream left has resisted and tried to be the 'sensible centre' when they should be for radical redistribution.

It's Melbourne Fucup day

Robodebt is not an isolated case, and the same sort of s*** is still going on. We need a much more fundamental reform of both the system and the departments that administer it.

I wish the Liberals had won the last election, Peter Dutton is the best PM we never had.

You have got no boxes and they have got billions of boxes. But it still is not enough. But thank god they are spending all your money on military police to 'protect us'. Aren't we lucky?

"In light of CSIRO's role as the appointed monitor of the methane leak, on this occasion it gives rise to a perception that the reason for their passivity and secrecy can be attributed to the financial relationship between the CSIRO and Santos," - Senator Waters www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Nauru is not just a floating prison. It has its own history and culture. The last 100 years of their history have not reflected well on us. Now we are exploiting them once again to house people who would be much better supported here in Australia. paintingfakes.blogspot.com/2025/09/the-...
