Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

The British are doing more than just asking for resignation www.thenational.scot/news/2583361...

Herzog named in #EpsteinFiles. Seems he flew to Epstein island for a weekend. Another good reason for the Australian Government to cancel his visit here and stop treating people like him as esteemed guests? bsky.app/profile/opde...

US police arrested 12 anti-ICE protesters at Columbia University in New York. The demonstrators accuse the university of cooperating with immigration enforcement agents and are demanding the campus be declared a sanctuary.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

The problem with complex systems is: You just don't know. And whatever they build to replace the broken stuff is - of course - shaped and impacted by the old system, so the spirit is carried on, even when the corpses are buried. (Maybe I did read Systemantics by John Gall too much)

“Oh it’s just money, no real impact tho, it’s just such a small amount…” Because people on Centrelink payments *survive on small amounts* assholes

Canberra bubble policy folk: “oh we fucked up and doubled up on garnishing some debts, but it had no impact, people just didn’t get a tax return, so what? Pay it back? Naw, haven’t even told them yet”

How can DSS say “no current impact on customers” when historical remediation is still required? If people have had money incorrectly gaken from their FTB and it isn’t yet repaid, of course there’s an impact

You can’t agree to meet halfway with a rabid dog

China is dominating renewable energy production while the EU fumbles around with carbon credit scams and the US is actively fighting its own climate scientists. It’s not hard to see who is actually planning for the future, and who is going to get left behind.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Yesterday they put up a For Lease sign out the front of the place I’m leaving at the end of the month. This month it was pristine this afternoon a big red Leased strip across it. It’s a tight market.🌼

Shutting down the Kennedy Center is even more serious than it looks President Donald Trump is showing his desire to control American culture, echoing similar moves by autocrats around the world. And the Kennedy Center is a test case.

“Electric cars are just cars that are cheaper to run, they last longer and they do all the useful and annoying things that cars do, only cheaper, easier and for longer.”

Trump doesn’t really think about Australia much at all. Give him enough money and he’ll be happy to forget about AUKUS.

Not problem but opportunity…

Last year, for the first time, alcohol and gambling companies, and their lobby groups, donated more than $5m to the major parties. Looks like they are getting a reasonable return on their investment.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

Terrorism charges have been laid against the as yet unnamed offender in Perth. In my opinion this only happened due to the outrage from all sections of the community. To the non-Aboriginal people who have been complaining and helping keep this alive, thank you. It’s your voices that mattered.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

The Jewish community is to be allowed to mourn but Indigenous communities are told to “get over it”. #auspol.

Have officially applied for the OAP. The form tells them I’m working for another week. Get a message then a call in late morning. Didn’t hear it for some reason but I’m off sick and usually wouldn’t see it until 5pm. Usual efficiency I see.😕🌼🌼🌼 Wishing yet again I was independently wealthy. Hmmm🌼

Thank you Kate Chaney, first politician to speak in parliament about the Terrorist Attack in Perth. It still took 10 days from the attack. Tell me Aboriginal people are treated equally, and I’ll rip you a new arsehole! Through your throat!

Online safety watchdog says tech giants failing to detect child abuse A new report highlights gaps in proactively preventing exploitation and sexual extortion activity on livestreaming, video and messaging platforms. Given we have the #Epstein fiasco, this is important.

These fucking idiots honestly.

Really? What about engaging with his own coal exploration expansions approving government?

Did a Woolies order and 6mins from delivery time get an apology message saying they can’t do it. Instead of refunding immediately it’s going to be up to 3 working days. Not happy. #Woolworths #refund #nothappy

1. Fuck this Handmaid’s Tale bullshit 2. If you want women to stay home and raise children, pay them. It’s work

On January 26, an explosive device was allegedly thrown into a crowd of peaceful protesters in Perth. As I said last week—and again today in Parliament—this should be investigated as a potential act of terrorism and treated with the gravity it deserves by state and federal police forces.

I watched Question Time today and @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social, who was my local member and someone I used to love, talk up all the 120 something things they are doing to address DV. How about #RaiseTheRate For crying outloud, raise the fucking rate.

The victims, and I mean the women not the perpetrators, have nothing to be ashamed of. In fact I admire them immensely. To have the fortitude to come out publicly and relate the horrors they were put through is a truly heroic act. Power to them. ✊🏾 Jail and loss of everything to the perpetrators.

💯💯💯 agree!

Morning. ☕️

Now the white population knows how the non white population has always felt. The uncertainty, the fear…

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

“…if we don’t intentionally rebuild connection, parks will matter more, not less. We should treat them accordingly. Not as luxuries. As infrastructure. As the commons. As the small green rooms where a society learns, early and often, whether it knows how to care for its own.”

“The solution begins not with a ballot, but with a decision. It begins the moment you turn off the news and talk to your neighbour. It begins when you refuse to be ridiculed into silence and speak your truth with courage.”

(1/2) No surprises here. Years ago I predicted they'd find a way to stop women voting. This one weird trick could stop US women from voting
