NSW Labor has lost the plot and been taken over by a bunch of brainwashed catholic zionists. Disgusting given what occurred with Premier Malinauskas intervening in the Adelaide writers' festival. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Chris Sidoti, international human rights lawyer and current member of the UN Independent Commission on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, gave some very strongly worded interviews today on Isaac Herzog's visit to Australia. Worth watching.

Chris Sidoti, member of the UN Independent Commission on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, says Herzog's visit should be cancelled. Or if he comes he should be investigated and potentially arrested. Under our criminal law as well as under international law. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwRR... #auspol

Australia's disability discrimination commissioner condemns "dangerous narratives" surrounding the deaths of teenage brothers Leon and Otis Clune, saying the burden of disability should never be a justification for family violence.

Thought I'd watch the live stream of Midsumma Pride March. Last time I marched was in 2013. Time flies. Found the live stream on Joy 94.9 FM joy.org.au/live/

Victorian Labor has lost the plot on public housing policy. Shame on them. Don't know how they sleep at night. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

BoM app says temp in my town is 30.2°c while my thermometer says 37.1°c. Given the house is like a furnace, think I'll believe the latter. 🪭🫠 Mind you the closest weather station is 35km away. 🤷‍♂️

Families frayed by NDIS cuts are bracing for even more change ahead of a year that's set to reshape the scheme into something more sustainable, write Nas Campanella and Evan Young.

Shame on Victorian Labor for destroying Public Housing and outsourcing housing to profit driven private interests. Been saying for years, this neoliberal policy is leading to a social disaster given the ongoing housing crisis.

Australia spends more on tax breaks for landlords than social housing, homelessness and rent assistance combined “The data shows people who are getting help, even people who are getting the most government support that’s available to them, half of them are still in rental stress.”

Hearing Minister Mark Butler on ABC RN crap on about national cabinet discussing the proposed NDIS and health funding deal today, makes my blood boil, given he is so willing to throw people with disability under a bus. People with Psychosocial Disability will be next. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Colour me shocked! Surprised! Surely not?! (/Heavy sarcasm) www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

APAN President, Nasser Mashni— "Social cohesion. "Thanks @albomp.bsky.social"

Hard to express how shocking it is that this criminal behaviour has become so normalised these days. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Our ABC typing out a press release and calling it journalism again. They run this idiotic, “tiny house solution to housing shortage” horse shit every month. Trailer parks for the poors. Before you say it, better than nothing isn’t the policy standard we should settle for. #AusPol

Weather outlook. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Nice to wake up to a cooler house after the extreme heat yesterday, having reached a temperature of 45°c. My rental turns into a furnace no matter what I do to keep the heat out.

What a stinker of a day. Even with a crappy reverse cycle air con the temp got to 35°c inside while 45°c outside. Sill trying to cool the joint down since cool change arrived. #shitrentals

Wrap of todays #Heatwave SA: Renmark Airport 49.6 2:23pm NSW: Fowlers Gap 49.1c at 3:43pm QLD: Thargomindah: 47.3 at 4:34pm VIC: Walpeup: 48.9c 3:36pm #MelbWeather Melbourne: 42.7 at 4:48pm Laverton: 45.6 at 4:54pm *Some of these are all time or Jan records, to be confirmed tomorrow.

Current temperatures in the Mallee are the highest ever recorded in VIC. Several long-term, all-month temperature records have been broken at stations across southern Australia on Monday and Tuesday, with the heatwave ongoing in the east.

Looks like Walpeup (South of Mildura) has hit the highest temp so far in Victoria at 48.7°c recorded at 2:31pm.

EMERGENCY WARNING - GRASS FIRE - Shelter Indoors Now Incident Location: Camperdown-Lismore Rd, Larralea Issue Date: Tuesday 27 January 2026, 02:58 pm Next Update: Tuesday 27 January 2026, 05:00 pm #VicFires

Think I'm Melting. Hit 44°c just before 2:30pm. No current fire alerts in my area thankfully.

And we are back to Emergency Warnings, first for the day. Emergency Warning - Bushfire - Evacuate Immediately - 11:21 AM. The fire may impact the townships of Kawarren, Gellibrand and Barongarook around 12:00PM (midday) today. www.emergency.vic.gov.au/respond #VicFires

Anyone in Adelaide wants to do a story with abc news tonight about the heat wave and rental standards ? Let me know if you can I’m not feeling the best

Keep thinking I should go to the supermarket and get bread or something to make sandwiches, because if the power goes out I won't be able to cook anything. Sigh. Might be over thinking things, but probably better to be prepared than not.

Feeling anxious given extreme temperature forecast today in Victoria. Still haven't recovered from having to evacuate my rental home on Windy Black Friday on January 9th 2026. Thankfully town was saved. Don't want a repeat. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Given the forecast of extreme temperatures today my thoughts are with all my fellow Victorians and elsewhere, wishing everyone can remain safe. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

In public housing, with no insulation, @artistaffame.bsky.social has only a small window air conditioning unit “It’s so old. I bought it from Cash Converters for about $30 eight years ago,” “It basically does nothing. It will only cool one room down. In summer I literally have to stay in my bedroom.

Dreading tomorrow given extreme temperatures. Looked up highest temperature in Victoria, to discover it is 48.8°C recorded at Hopetoun on 7 February 2009 during the Black Saturday bushfires. I literally drove from Hopetoun to Ballarat that very morning, how bizarre. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

The Carlisle River Fire in the Otways from yesterday with a 45 degree day tomorrow.

Humans are the virus. Climate change is the cure. Mother Nature is medicating.

This is due to climate change and if anyone tells you different, get them out of your life. You deserve better.

Thanks Ella & Conor Pall for speaking out on the issue of young people experiencing family violence. Deeply resonates with me as I felt I had no where to turn to as a kid. "Victim-survivors say 'shameful' Victorian family violence response causes harm". www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Heart feels for all the people having to evacuate the Otways area and south of Colac due to the fires.

Really inspiring to see all of these people come out

Awesome speech by Gary Foley at the Invasion Day rally in naarm. #invasionday #naarm

Invasion Day 2026. Tens of thousands marching down Bourke St in Naarm/Melbourne now. 'No justice, no peace. No racist police!' ✊🖤💛❤️

Nice to have a day when I am not getting Vic Emergency fire alerts beep constantly on my phone. Know it won't last, but relieved nonetheless.
