“Lord Howe Island Board chief executive Suzie Christensen said surveys were important, as "the insect hasn't been seen here in anyone's living memory".” (That’s my brother, seeing the phasmid!). I’m so proud. (He was heavily involved in the rat eradication too!).

My brother with the new phasmids on Balls Pyramid, Lord Howe! Amazing. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

It is, isnt it. (In this instance it seems to have moved frok a private space to a fully monitored CCTV space, which is extra gross).

Urgh. www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

Double eyeroll.

Hahah I did that poster! I'd totally forgotten about it!

UnionsNSW doing UnionsNSW things by asking folks to ‘tag’ women who are ‘doing it all’ in a post about ‘doing it all’ on a poster from 2008 #IWD event to challenge women ‘doing it all’. 👏👏👏

I’m on day 5 of losing my voice, like not a little bit. My whole voice. I’m bored with it now. On the upside, I guess I didn’t abuse a single man to celebrate international women’s day, it never ends well.

Loved my Bunnies this afternoon, now for the Tillies!

Cody Walker 40/20. Wow.

It’s November 19, fellas. Every year.

Today’s the #SundayShot was interesting. Host, @instanterudite.bsky.social excellent as usual. Slightly awkward for the #IWD edition to have three middle aged white men (called Scott, Michael and Dave) make up the rest of the panel (and an Ian in the longer interview).

This little kid says it all. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

#IWD perfection.

I’m going for Noah Martin’s legs in Canberra vs Manly. Incredible strength.

Eyeroll.

LOL, how fucking funny would it be if it was an electrical fire.

I do enjoy, as a proud unionist, when men like this of the union movement find themselves in an (alleged) bother. Women dominated industry unions are growing and effective. Time these men gave it away. We’ve got this. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Easy to lip read Kennedy then ‘Sam, Sam, nice touch’. I love what good sports they are.

How good is women’s football? Absolutely loving the Matilda’s playing Iran. The Iran players seriously, what strength, legends. ♥️⚽️

I know everyone will see all the 💙🦐 but I got a new plant and it’s spectacular. (It’s the long grass like one, people it grows underwater).

Urgh. “Mr Amon sent the complainant an image of himself on Grindr wearing a RFS uniform.” www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

I was just watching the footy — Little is with her Dad — Lane kid love.

It’s that time of the year again. #iwd #internationalwomensday

MaryAnn Bin-Sallik was the first Aboriginal nurse graduate in Darwin and the first Aboriginal person to receive a PhD at Harvard University. Following her death at age 85, the Djaru Elder is being remembered for her work in Indigenous education, health and human rights.

Despite the government firing the Secretary responsible for DEWR misleading the Ombudsman, the Department has decided to continue to lie to the public, despite separately telling @jeremypoxon.bsky.social there were no documents on any app because it's actually more of a Qlik dashboard.

This is incredible, right down to the Toyota Yaris. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Friday watching this gang! 🦐💙🍺

Difficult. My @smh @theage cartoon.

The Justice and Equity Centre is the best place I’ve ever worked. The joint is full of outstanding people doing incredible things. We have a job going in government strategy shenanigans, I mean, relations, and you’d be my peer. www.ethicaljobs.com.au/members/piac...

Oh, how I laugh (cry). Quite the way with words. “I hope you have a shit Christmas, because you are a bunch of sellout dogs.” www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

Just picked Little up from her rep soccer training. Her team (under 13s) was having a game against the under 16s. Little (11) was half the size of some of the others, she did great.

What is medical misogyny? The patriarchy and capital, the best of friends. Stunning #4corners

I somehow missed the spawning, perhaps it was in the pipe/pot but I have HUNDREDS of tiny tadpoles in this pond. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸

Another excellent #SundayShot today. Well done @instanterudite.bsky.social and team. They have a target of 10k subscribers by June 30 and are not far off…

Thanks @grogsgamut.bsky.social for highlighting this nonsense from Albo on the #SundayShot this morning. I’m still shaking my head about it.

This should make your blood boil. But coming from a small country town, it is not at all surprising.

Sickening: ‘The indictment alleges [the complainant] was 13 — that was a fact not known to the accused." He told the jury Mr Amon would have "had an assumption any person using those websites was 18 years or older".’ www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Make your bed. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Been a day. I heard the Albo interview on Sydney radio this morning. Very interesting to hear him celebrate his government restricting kids access to social media, for the good of children, after saying that Australian kids stuck overseas as ‘the responsibility of their mothers’. 🗑️

This kinda reads like a joke that doesn’t need a punchline. ‘Gatto, Newman, Marshall and Setches walk on to a yacht…’ but it isn’t a joke. www.theage.com.au/national/rot...

Bad immigrants. My @smh cartoon.
