I came here to mention the guillotine. You know, as an interesting historical device …

Agnes, 78, from Leeds says she was just focused on getting home and having a nice cup of tea...

it says a lot about the average politician that this guy seems to expect that zohran mamdani only said what he said to get elected and doesn’t actually believe in anything

I'm delighted to be guest interviewee on 7News' The Issue discussing the dismissal of the Whitlam govt & the secret correspondence btwn Kerr and the Queen. Thank you Tim Lester! #auspol www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH_W...

New: "If Republicans had a lick of courage or common sense, they’d already be demanding major changes to the humiliatingly awful amateur hour show underway at the U.S. Justice Department, where prosecutions are rife with incompetence and abuse of the rule of law." Free links/subscriptions.

It is time to isolate Israel completely. Stop supplying them with weapons, send in a UN force to open up the borders so the people can get food. Israel is not to be trusted.

A man in police custody since a crash killed a woman, 30, and a girl, 10, in the Queensland community of Doomadgee has been confirmed as the partner of the woman and father and stepfather of the children in the vehicle.

Our review of 700+ videos of the Portland protests shows a wide gap between the reality on the ground and the characterizations by Trump, Fox News and DHS, which said its office in the city was under “coordinated assault by violent groups.” By @robwdavis.bsky.social and Steve Suo

@janecaro.bsky.social I want to thank you for the detail at the end of your book Lyrebird It is very helpful to hear how others went about their book research I’ve just started immersing myself in the research for my second book & I especially like your authenticity readers. I’m lining mine up now

Stephen King has spoken. #FelonyField

Saw someone share an article about a 9 month investigation to see if Twitter’s algorithm is amplifying far right content. Next for that journalist: spending the best part of a year investigating if you can find shoes in a shoe shop.

Israel now has a 'strategic choice it has long tried to ignore. It can no longer claim that domination is acceptable as peace, or that apartheid is justifiable on security grounds, or that mass displacement can be presented as humanitarian. The mask has fallen.' open.substack.com/pub/palestin...

Excellent Sunday program Take a listen

What a show!. What a finale! Great interviews. 👏 @helenhainesindi.bsky.social @instanterudite.bsky.social @davemilbo.bsky.social @davidpocock.bsky.social @punterspolitics.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axia...

"We’ll be hearing a lot of Gough Whitlam’s legacy, of Medicare and the fights he had to change Australia. Of the reforms Labor still proudly presents as its legacy" @amyremeikis.bsky.social. But the Albanese govt has the political courage of custard. #auspol www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Ketan Joshi's Irrational Climate Reset I am calling for a return to the wild, unacceptable and unthinkably weird idea that we can decide not to live under the thumb of an expensive, deadly and ancient fossil fuel economy No more hand-wringing about pragmatism. Be idealistic, and don't be sorry 🤜🏽

"100,000. That’s the number of people who actively volunteered for the campaign, knocking on doors, talking to their neighbors and co-workers. That’s one in every 10 people who even voted for Mamdani. They recognized politics as an act of being in community, beyond just showing up to tick a box"

There are two types of people that the planet needs fewer of, billionaires and poor people. The ratio of wealth is so one sided that for every billionaire we destroy, thousands of poor people are lifted out of poverty because of it. Win, win. 🎉

Thie #SundayShot is up! @mariecolemanao.bsky.social & @mrdtjames.bsky.social give great insight into the Dismissal & Victorian Treaty...& I had a lot of fun at @punterspolitics.bsky.social dinner. Throw a few dollars our way so I can claim my bus fare to Canberra! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axia...

Ahhhh, yes. The great red cities. 😂

Happy to tour visiting authors & @thewaroncars.bsky.social podcasters @sgoodyear.bsky.social and @brooklynspoke.bsky.social around some key central Vancouver city-building this morning, before their book event with @visionzerovancouver.ca tonight! (some tickets left, apparently) Great conversation!

I think when you are personally comfortable you can reach out more I’d start a small Foundation

on substantive change, Dan says dozens of great Aboriginal organisations around the country are under skew-whiff power arrangements because they are funded by governments, whereas under Treaty the arrangements become negotiations between equals #SundayShot

🎯 "But Labor is still looking to the Liberals for approval on policies where it wants the status quo to continue." The government were given a mandate to change & the list of what most of the community want changed 🐌 🦗 #Auspol www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

A test of character If you won $20m in a lottery what would you do with it?

It's interesting how many ex journalists join the coalition. Tells you a lot about the media landscape (and bias) in Australia. #auspol

😂😂😂😂

We should all video our elders doing anything. Have them speak in their language, whatever that is. Then translate it if you can. It's a great way to learn that language. This is our last chance to get those videos before we can't anymore.

It's snowing outside. Winter is here. Grace has Christmas music playing in the living room. Gramma is cleaning. The fire is going. 😁

This is so depressing- like the ANU in Canberra

Not colourful, just a self aggrandising cunt

Graham Richardson (1949-2025) has died. PM Albo's statement praises him in glowing terms, barely mentioning his grubby deals, saying Richo was "colourful" and "controversial." I'd say Richo was a "power-broker" who served the powerful, wealthy & himself, not the Australian people. #auspol

All those people who think they can dodge the effects of the climate crisis because they live in a nice developed country are about to get punched in the face. It’s coming in hard everywhere.

Moderate Liberals breeding program. The Age

The Sunday Shot, insights into looming environmental catastrophe. Puts more emphasis on the complete lack of action by this #Faux Govt. Stop considering and start doing something constructive. #auspol #IntegrityFirst Worth a listen. youtube.com/shorts/1a9mX...

Butler has a clue or 3 about this portfolio

It’s come to this. So sad for my once amazing organisation. That said, I still say 99% of people at the operational coalface put 110% every day into making Australia safer and more prosperous. I’ve never experienced more passion in a public service. Anywhere. New CEO literally starts tomorrow.
