Ban, ban, ban except for limited use for farmers

Because it’s not getting reported on enough: Muslim fruit shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed, father of two, was the hero who bravely tackled one of the Bondi Beach shooters and took away his gun. He saved lives during a major terror attack. Say his name, and honor the lives of the victims of the shooters

New Aussie media rules required Bluesky verify I was over 16. Used face verification method, and got a tick I look older. No surprise for me, and everyone's happy again.

Thanks to everyone for re-posting so far. I apologise for it being a confrontational post to find in your feed. I can see what the protectors are trying to do now. We must not let them normalise this. These are crimes.

Qld LNP Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie's May decision on the Moonlight Range wind farm & battery site overridden & the project proceeding with federal approval. Separately, revealed only 25% of community submissions to him came from local residents. #qldpol reneweconomy.com.au/billion-doll...

Doubt it’s real, but on the other hand it certainly could be true he would post something like this! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Trump's healthcare.

Virginia Giuffre’s ghostwriter disclosed that she possesses the full list of names from the Epstein files, backed by private recordings that substantiate the information. nypost.com/2025/10/22/u...

On Thurs 23Oct25, Lush Cosmetics closed all its shops and factory in Australia, in solidarity with Gaza. All staff will be paid for the hours lost during the closures. In response, Westfield Head Office instructed their shopping centres to cover-up Lush Cosmetics' notices. 🤔 #GazaGenocide #Lush

Donny baby…

Saw a big solar EV charging setup at New Italy while driving in Australia

President Donald Trump imposes 100 per cent tariff on Australian pharmaceuticals unless manufactured in the States US Trump has imposed a hefty 100 per cent tariff on Australian pharmaceuticals unless they are manufactured in the United States.

People claim Charlie Kirk's murder is an attack on free speech. But after binging his podcasts, he's clearly anti-gay, anti-Black, anti-Muslim & more. True freedom champions EVERYONE's rights … or you're just a bigot hiding behind religion's fig leaf.

With Scott Morrison getting awarded an AC, in this year's list. It makes the award about as valuable, as a toy in a box of breakfast cereal. #auspol #straya

Sure thing, Minister Watt ? How good is Six (6) MILLION tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every YEAR UNTIL 2070, .. every year, .. every year, .. every year. #ausPOL #Climate #CO2 #Legacy #FAIL

Photo taken when the Hinze Dam on Gold Coast started to rise in 2012 to new water levels. This magnificent gum still had green foliage, but today is just dead timber, the nearby shore also has far more dead timber as well. #straya

Also having had the privilege of scrutineering for the first time this election, I can tell you I have never seen so many carefully written and placed numbers in my life! It’s pretty clear people take voting seriously and really want their voting intent to be properly understood and counted. #auspol

Yesterday at Miami Beach, Gold Coast, overcast and cool breeze

A gas exploration drilling rig has appeared within sight of one of Australia’s most loved natural wonders, the 12 Apostles. We don’t need to turn our iconic natural wonders into gas fields. We need to prioritise Australians over exports. @emmashortis.bsky.social went to take a look ⤵️

What Jacinta Price’s defection from the Nationals to Liberals shows is that she has no loyalty to anyone but herself. But we already knew that from the way she treated the 80%+ Aboriginal community who voted Yes for the Voice. Price ruined a once in a generation chance at reconciliation, for what?

On th TV news, I just saw names of 4 potential candidates who may stand for leader of the Liberal party, with Spuds departure. If any one of them becomes the Opposition leader, I may never see an LNP government again in my lifetime. #auspol #straya

For Albo that's not a win, that's a thrashing of Spud and his party. Aussie's not interested in divisive politics, as used overseas in some countries. #auspol ##ausvotes

Postal vote has been done, my wife has also done hers, both will be posted tomorrow. The sitting LNP member is last on both in a field of nine. An Indy at the top, with Labor next, so now fingers crossed for the count on Saturday night. #ausvotes

Windy at Miami Beach, Gold Coast, about midday. Can see suspended sand in waves after stirring by TC Alfred recently. Usual strolling nymphs with friends, along the walkway, and a couple on boards in the surf. A pleasant stop for a coffee today. #straya

Looking at corflutes it's easy to see who has money to spend. Sitting Liberal member has hundreds of them all over the electorate. At major intersections are corflutes of a community Indy, perhaps half the Liberal number. A long way third the Labor candidate. The rest are rarer. #ausvotes

Found I have 8 candidates standing in my electorate this year. A good Indy and my #1, then one from from each of the 3 main parties, then another 4 pests completes the ballot. So with LNP included, I will have 5 pests at bottom on my vote. #ausvotes

We have a winner…🏆

Karma-flavored ice cream is sooo delicious.

Big turn out in the US states for the protest marches, and good to see some real action. But you have to wonder, how many, had not bothered to vote during the election. Voting is the real strength of democracy, to prevent the problems that now exist.

Some sound wisdom for Australian voters to seriously consider when casting their vote in the upcoming federal election. #auspol #ausvotes #ausvotes25

dutton never does the national press club. publicly available transcripts show that recent years he has appeared on 2GB radio 85 times – including 57 ‘interviews’ with Ray Hadley and 26 with Ben Fordham – and 81 times on Sky News, with 20 appearances on Sharri Markson’s show. #temutrump

#ausvotes #straya As PM, Albo has been called AirbusAlbo, or similar, while representing Aust overseas. The work just continued safely here, with a good set of ministers doing their jobs. A look at quality of Dutton's backstop shadow team, you have to shudder if he was to become PM after voting.

Election promises ALP - Permanent tax cut of $10 per wk- applies 2 all taxpayers Or LNP - Temporary fuel excise cut of about $7-$14 per wk for a year - doesn't apply to electric vehicle users, public transport users, cyclists, electric scooter users, etc. 🐝 #auspol #insiders

Rio Tinto is investing in solar power and battery storage to decarbonize its Gladstone aluminum operations in Queensland, Australia, with a deal to purchase 90% of the output from two solar and battery projects, aiming for a 70% reduction in emissions. Dutton must have missed the announcement

#auspol #straya Election May 3 and battle begins. Dutton with little to offer, but cheap petrol for a year may win a few. Albo has done well, but lacking in some areas, so for me in a Lib held seat vote order will be, #1 community Indy, #2 Labor, #‽ some unknowns as yet, #last LNP.

#straya Miami Beach, Gold Coast, this morning, overcast, with rain showers, walkers, and dogs execising as usual. Also a reminder TC Alfred had passed through not long ago.

#auspol In Australia, you can replace Fox News with Sky News.

#straya Just read a 150 year old Moreton Bay Figtree in Portugal, ran second in the Most Important Tree in Europe. It's an annual voted award held for last 15 years. The winning tree was a 300 year old Beech Tree in Poland.

This is Ali France. Labor's candidate in Dutton's seat. She's out and about with Steven Miles ensuring the electorate she wants to represent is safe during Cyclone Albert. Dutton meanwhile is busy wining and dining billionaires at Justin Hemmes' mansion. Share this widely. #auspol #qldpol

Other words…..FUCK OFF! Christians: If you oppose birth control, don't use it. If you don't believe in evolution, don't study it. If you don't like abortion, don't have one. If you don't want to marry someone of the same sex, don't. But, you have no right to tell others how to live, learn, or love.
