Rest in piss motherfucker. My deepest condolences to the rent boys of DC who have just lost their main source of income.

The Tasmanian federal redistribution announcement will occur mid-morning Wednesday 15 July. #politas

UK politics isn't my usually vibe but seeing Farage campaign and possibly lose against Count Binface as his only notable opponent in a stunt by-election that he triggered - is just gold. Binface has promised amongst other things, to build at least one affordable house and nationalise Adele.

Mayor Blomely is putting up a $35K campaign war chest for his mayoral reelection - says it's donations - there's a spending cap on LGA elections, it's definitely NOT $35K. #politas

My Pops picked up photography about ten years ago, but the pandemic turned him into a full‑blown student of the craft. He spends many of his summer evenings capturing hummingbirds — and recently learned their wings can act like tiny prisms when the light hits just right. Magic in motion.

“I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. “As a Church, I say again: as a pastor, I cannot be in favor of war.” — Pope Leo XIV

Someone out there has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

Brilliant eulogy speech tonight by Vica Bayley for John Kudelka.

Gotta have some guts with which to shit said pants first. #auspol

At the #NPC today, Pauline Hanson doubled down on the allegation the late Tim Fischer had once called her a "witch" and to "burn her at the stake" When pushed, she couldn't recall the evidence. "In some newspaper somewhere" she claimed Here's the quote It was from a man called Terry Andrews 🙄

love this website

Shelton has $20,000 racked up in legal fees too. Nothing compared to Howlett, but even so. #politas

Today, Pauline Hanson complained about people who have difficulty speaking English. Luckily, her speech provided the perfect example for anyone wanting to learn the language.

Anyone who's spent any time in politics knows what the two issues are that Howlett is before the Commission for. Knowledge and proof are two different things however and and potentially involves some delicate issues regarding previous portfolios. #politas

Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

Howlett has just resigned #politas

Word on the grapevine is that Jane Howlett will be on the back bench by Friday. #politas

Jonno Duniam to quit the Senate & Brad Stansfield to run for it. What in the actual fuck #politas From the bottom of my heart though - fuck all the way off Duniam. Then wherever you end up, fuck off some more.

Gold. Rest in peace to a pair of legends.

Turns out rocky split the roles between other Ministers - the back bench now grows. He claimed it was a cost savings measure btw.

Briscoe is a heinous PoS.

A redesign of the Bridgewater Jerry lapel pin to reflect the new Bridgewater bridge and river traffic returning to the upper Derwent. The bridge is made of 5 lines to represent the 4 past and present new Bridgewater Bridges, as always with Mt Dromedary in the background.

Fergusson wants it, & badly - is practically unemployable now outside of politics so looking for redemption. Jaensch & Shelton have allegedly been tapped to 'retire' at next election, Fairs' main value to the party is his bum in a seat. Wouldn't be Vermey I imagine - too junior. #politas

I live for jokes like this. Miss you, Mr. Pratchett.

The gang from Cafe Connections, discussing the Bridgewater Jerry project as well as a few other ongoing activities this year. Joined by Jess Tyler from Asthma Australia and local artist Hannah Foley.

As part of Jerry Fest and the Bridgewater Jerry Photography Competition we will be printing last year's entrants as a small book to be given away at the gallery later this year. Some exciting stuff already.

I forgot to mention that entries can be submitted to the Cafe Connections Facebook page or the Bridgewater Jerry Photography Competition Facebook group. Please date your entries to aid us in tracking Jerry! Ts&Cs in comments below! #Hobart #Tasmania

Get your cameras out, Jerry's made an appearance for this year's Bridgewater Jerry Photography Competition! #Hobart #Tasmania #BJPC

A new study has demonstrated the regenerative effect that #solar farms can have on degraded and depleted land, by sheltering it from harsh #winds, pushing down surface temperatures, and boosting #soil moisture.

Rules 1 & 6 respectively. Had to go check.

During my time working in and around politics we've always had a couple of rules. Namely never ever mess with the CWA or the AEC. No good comes of it.

Wish Sir David Attenborough Happy 100th Birthday! getup.to/9y9zVSx3EcOG... He is an environmental warrior, advocate, benefactor, all-round fabulous human. Happy Birthday Sir David Attenborough!

Tasmanian Liberal politicians had the utter nerve to show up to Port Arthur today, all whilst simultaneously advocating for unlimited gun ownership in Tasmania. The hypocrisy is off the charts. #politas #auspol

The 2026 Bridgewater Jerry Photography Competition launches soon! It's going to be "Foggin' awesome". And remember, "when Jerry is here, asthma season is near", so get your asthma plans up to date too. #BJPC26

Next month is the launch of this year's Bridgewater Jerry Photography Competition. Getting excited for it.

This is my answer. kevinbonham.blogspot.com/2025/10/yes-... I think some MPs do do useful things for voters with particular issues in their electorates, others can be pretty useless.

TBF, their policies are all from like the 1950's. Compared to that 2021 IS recent 🤣.

Major Australian fuel shortages remain very unlikely despite eye-watering prices. @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social & @ebonybennett.bsky.social discuss energy supplies amid the war on Iran, the government's decision to slash the fuel excise & how high prices drive inequality. #auspol 🎧 theaus.in/4s4STGE

$17B a year we could raise in tax. You could solve one major crisis in Australia every year with that sort of cash. #politas

thank god i found it again

Tasmania's Break O'Day council has the slogan "From the mountains to the sea". There might be rivers in the mountains, don't tell Queensland.

I am glad to see that the prevailing sentiment on boundary redistribution broadly supported my argument: Glenorchy & DVC into Clark, Brighton LGA remains in Lyons. All else as currently proposed. Let's see if all that lobbying pays off. 😵‍💫 #politas

Poetry!
