Richard Flanagan on the Adelaide Writers’ Festival. Wise commentary. 👍 Via SMH

I'm seeing LOTS of #SocialCohesion. In support of Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah and the Palestinian people! AND oppn to Israel's ongoing genocide! I'm pretty sure that's NOT the "social cohesion" some people were hoping to promote. 🤔 #auspol #nswpol #AdelaideWritersFestival #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

A Total Fire Ban will be in place tomorrow, Saturday 10 January, for Greater Sydney, Illawarra Shoalhaven, Far South Coast, Greater Hunter, Monaro Alpine, Southern and Central Ranges, Southern Slopes. with forecasts of hot, dry and windy weather. rfs.nsw.gov.au/fdr

Journalists, time to pop the question to @albomp.bsky.social “Your government’s own #climate Risk Assessment says we’re headed for many more catastrophic bushfire days like this and many more lives and homes lost - so why keep adding fuel to the fire by approving huge new coal and gas projects?”

🤭 Absolute gold! 👌🥇

Yet again....

They hate this cartoon so much because it's so accurate. All strength to you @cathywilcox.bsky.social

@michaelpascoe01.bsky.social absolutely loved your interview on ABC Radio Newcastle this morning. So good to hear the voice of reason on Aunty. Hopefully they'll promote it on the News app. 🤞🫤

300,000 Australians marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in support of a #FreePalestine. Plus weekly protests in cities across the country. So NSW Premier Minns shuts down peaceful protest and our mainstream news media gives rolling coverage to a few "prominent sports people" 🙄 #auspol #nswpol

Would seriously love a journalist with enough guts to ask Albanese and Ley “Australia boycotted the 1980 Olympics because the USSR invaded Afghanistan. Were we right to, and if so, shouldn’t we boycott the Soccer World Cup due to the US breaking international law by striking Venezuela?

We’re going to need a bigger handbasket

BREAKING: Australians urged to hold off on passing any judgement over US-Venezuela invasion without first waiting for MSM to get expert unwanted opinions from John Howard, Tony Abbott, and Pauline Hanson. #auspol

Who isn’t jumping on the bandwagon demanding a royal commission.. normal everyday Aussies.. who have no points to score and no $ to gain

Law schmaw, invading is fun

More and more AUKUS as a defence policy is essentially “our best way to stop being invaded is to keep bribing the USA”

I was doing my best to start 2026 in an optimistic and grateful state of mind, but..... I think I'm out. 😔

The USA does NOT believe in democracy, freedom or int'l law. The USA uses its military to impose its will on other nations for "US interests". It is a failed state ruled by a deranged narcissistic dictator. Vassal state Australia should close Pine Gap & withdraw from #AUKUS. #auspol #USA #Venezuela

Dear Western media, Helpful list of words and phrases to use in your reports on the US action: • illegal • attack, bombing, invasion • abduct, abduction, kidnapping • breach of international law Words matter. Facts matter. You're welcome. #USA #Venezuela #journalism

Phew! Just as well we signed up to AUKUS 🫤 #Auspol

Which parallel universe universe would you like to step into right now?

More than two and a half years have passed since the Murphy inquiry into 'online gambling and its harm' tabled its report in Parliament and still no response from @albomp.bsky.social’s Govt. To be precise, as of today, that’s 920 days of policy paralysis. #auspol

@rodcampbell.bsky.social sends a message

Now this is news I can get behind! 😁 Only 1 item from Australia though. Hopefully we'll do better this year 🤞

New Year 2026!! Let's make it the best yet. Good health to you all. Let's celebrate each small win. Zero tolerance for anyone trying to divide, threaten or intimidate us. And let's be grateful for this beautiful country we live in. #Australia #NY2026 🥳🪅🥂🎉

Kia Ora beautiful Aotearoa! Happy New Year to you all!!!!!

You too Kym! I'm just reposting your thoughts because they're perfect 🥰 Happy New Year everyone 🕊️🙏🤎💪

Busy redacting 2025

Maybe we need to be wary of the “delegitimisation” of legitimate criticism, which is the latest trick.

I’ll be there. Hope to see as many of my followers as possible there too.

"$8.4B net profits for clubs and hotels from gaming machines in 2023-24 and $2.3B in tax revenue from gaming machines in NSW in 2023-24." Great job Chris Munns #Auspol

It’s hard to take the Coalition’s calls for a Royal Commission into the Bondi incident seriously after they fiercely opposed a RC into their illegal Robodebt scheme, then refused to apologise even after the damning findings confirmed Australians lost their lives. #auspol

Watching this now on Aunty. We all owe Bob Brown & all of those courageous, determined environmental activists so much. Absolute legends. 🙏 💪🥰✌️🌿

Nasser Mashni, President of APAN— "Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism! "Share and tag @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social to ensure Minnsy gets the message!"

As I said to some racist woman on the tram today, “ Being racist actually makes YOU the inferior one!”. She just looked shocked that I would say that to her and that proved my point perfectly #auspol #nzpol

Perfect Pyjama Day: Read a book, husband watched the cricket. Just had a shower and swapped to winter pyjamas, my dinner is prepped (see photo) and he can grab leftovers 🤭. Current temp here in gorgeous Lake Mac 16.4, feels like 13.5! Absolute heaven 🥳 Cin cin! 🥂

For those who celebrate, enjoy a ridgy-didge Australian Xmas tree. [📷 Credit: Layn Simpson, Queensland]

Woo hoo! Made it, and I had the radio on all day 😁 First time, #Whamageddon

Been awake since 4.30am (don't ask!), Christmas lunch here tomorrow & I'm just done 🥵 So, Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight. 🎅🎄🤎 My very best wishes & thanks to everyone here in this pretty- safe, slower-paced space 😉. Enjoy the Christmas break if you aren't working and please stay safe.

It’s time to cut and run from AUKUS as fast as we can.

🎯 I thought 2024 was bad and the following year would be heaps better, so clearly this isn't a time for optimism 😢. ( Merry Christmas though!) 🙂

This cause, from the Jewish Council of Australia, not Zionists, is close to my heart - please sign: petitions.getup.org.au/petitions/fr... @getup.org.au

Quite a few people in the opposition and media forgetting just how fragile is a civil society.

Don’t be distracted, the real question is; why does anyone need SIX high powered weapons? apple.news/Ae9jg1OFCQ2C...
