“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

As if - have you seen the Albo government? They have been sold to Zionists, Israel, the US - Trumpet, the UK - Charlie, and all the billionaire mining and weapons manufacturers. Good luck with trying to hold them to account. They have a massive majority and have broken all their promises #auspol

@australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social Listen up!

Australia must take a stand!

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

A policy no doubt compiled by public servants who would never live there.

Samuel Adams, 1768.

Israel's emissions increase with every bomb dropped, killing the planet as well as people and their culture.

We can spare the better part of a billion dollars for this, apparently. THIS is what the reanimated corpse of Labor does with a huge mandate. Bloody hell. John Howard would be proud.

"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." -Abraham Lincoln seems timely

“Recognition without consequence legitimises paralysis. Israeli leaders, dismissing recognitions as “political theatre”, are emboldened by the lack of material follow-up. As Gaza’s devastation deepens, international norms erode when law is applied selectively.” johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09...

#dutton preempted that comment: #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is inspiring and something Australian tenants should keep an eye on as Labor keeps relying on the private sector for new apartment builds.

@hrw.org has published a report on Israeli attacks on schools sheltering displaced people in Gaza. Israel claims it targets Hamas fighters in these schools (but they rarely provide any evidence) Guess what? The report shows they're lying.

Admission: I'm Middle Aged Worse admission: I get the very distinct feeling that my cohort of humans was lucky enough to see the very best humanity could achieve before the planet ends our comfort, and maybe existence, for being fucking idiots And I really hate this because I have kids 🥺

Autralians should be aware of the Australian Border Force, a civilian paramilitary under the control of politicians, not a state or federal police force, not a part of the ADF, just like ICE in the US just waiting to be put to the same uses as ICE why else would it be there? #auspol

History is like science and free speech. It doesn't exist for you to agree or disagree with it, it exists for you to listen to it.

Duopoly stagnation - neither party prepared to invest in Australia, Australians, or voters I doubt very much ANY community-based representative representing voters with needs would allow that to happen Only career, party politicians peddling ideology would sit on $BILLIONS to benefit this country

Biggest is not always best.

At least our federal government should give it a try.

"Politics can’t defeat the realities of physics and chemistry, but that is exactly what the Albanese government is attempting to do with their grossly inadequate emissions reductions targets..." - Professor Euan Ritchie theenergy.co/article/2035...

Boredom and disappointment are the two most important feelings that kids need to learn how to cope with.

I honestly don’t care about James Comey. But I want to live in a democratic republic. His indictment proves we live in a banana republic, where the autocrat personally orders indictments of his political enemies, and when his own officials refuse he finds new ones that will.

I long for the day when a political leader calls for a national debate on the direction we wish to take. Do we want to follow the American socio-economic model or the Scandi-european, the insidious sales pitching that we can have world-class public services and low taxes has reached its endpoint.

If you are in the US military, this is your reminder that it is illegal to follow an unlawful order.

Thanks for pointing to this, Gekko. In unsettled situations, any publicity is good publicity to the mediocre but ambitious man, or woman.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

And it's not funny, it's tragic!

No one will stop comparing ICE to the Gestapo until they stop acting like the Gestapo

Hastie's little playbook needs be called out by everyone And rejected Migrants are NOT here grabbing your jobs and houses They're building your new house, starting new businesses, bringing in skilled work we don't have in Australia to cover shortages

You cannot make sense of nonsense You cannot make sane commentary on insanity You would not go into a lunatic asylum & try to rationalise a conversation between the inmates (unless you were an equally insane psychiatrist) Just accept that America is insane & act accordingly

MEDIA RELEASE: SA Premier spreads gas industry misinformation Premier Peter Malinauskas told an event sponsored by the gas lobby that a new gas project in Narrabri, NSW, is needed to firm up SA's electricity supply. Our research, using the government’s own data, proves this is simply not true.

ABC is running a story at the moment about a doubling of calls to the poisons hotline for melatonin, driven by gummy-form delivery. They're quite excited about this. But the thing is, it's really hard to OD on melatonin - it seems that the "very serious consequences" might be being hard to rouse.
