Back home now after afternoon/evening drinks and dinner. Decided to watch Love Actually. Liam Neeson: picks up phone MrG & I: (In unison) I will find you and I will kill you. I feel we could make a very dark version of this Xmas movie.

Appalling from any Govt. An absolute betrayal from Albanese who spruiked about growing up in housos with a Mum on disability. As someone raised in a similar situation, I learned to spot a bullshit artist. He never got my vote.

Forget what you know about bushwalking and survival. The Tasmanian bush is different from anywhere else. Never go alone, carry an EPIRB, notify authorities where youāre going and for how long and do not deviate! Better still, pay for a guide, survival is measured in minutes here at times.

In 2020, Australia massively increased welfare payments and conducted a live experiment in ending poverty, but when the subsidy was removed, many were thrown back into hardship. Leaving aside the moral dimension, would it be cheaper to end poverty than to maintain it?

Itās confronting going into the city these days. Very sad to see the homeless people. We gave some cash to a young woman. I talked to her for about 15mins. Aged out of foster care, not enough support from charities (CEO wages?). We need to do better. š¢

The Zionist line that Pro-Palestinian protesters "are Nazis" is dumber than it usually is today, given that Palestinian protesters were the people that stood up to the Nazis on the streets of Melbourne while the AJA couldn't even condemn the supremacist thugs.
