Special Envoy, Jillian Segal, can appoint people now?

Two posts. Both are true. 🇦🇺 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 #IStandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

Australia must stand with the courageous Palestinian people as they suffer under Israel’s brutal illegal occupation. Israel must withdraw from all Palestinian territories, and pay reparations. 🇦🇺 🇵🇸 #IsraeliTerrorism #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

Australia must stand with the courageous Ukrainian people as they defend their country against Putin's unprovoked Russian invasion. Russia must withdraw from all Ukrainian territories, incl. from Crimea, and pay reparations. 🇦🇺 🇺🇦 🌻 #IStandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini

"I have never been so disgusted by a group of people in my life as I am by Israelis. Everyday I witness their utter disregard and disdain for Palestinian life. It is shameful and sets humanity further backwards with every vile act like this." – Guy Pearce, 21Nov2025 #IsraeliTerrorism #FreePalestine

Special little hoodies (hooded plovers) at Port Neill on the Eyre Peninsula. These vulnerable birds have to cope with many threats but some good work by dedicated volunteers around Australia's southern shoreline is making a difference. I love finding these.

ICYMI: Friday's #PlanetAmerica with @therealjohnbarron.bsky.social and Chas Licciardello on the Epstein saga is outstanding, quality journalism. Highly recommended. #EpsteinFiles #USPolitics iview.abc.net.au/show/planet-...

'FutureCoal is already influencing the Australian debate in a way that amounts to putting lipstick on a pig. 'If the Coalition is ever to aspire to office again, it has to wake up to the fact that a majority of voters, according to current polling, know a pig when they see one.'

This character visits my balcony often. Just now he literally yawned as I was talking to him. Rude! 😁

Me ... after I impress the boss with my excellent graph (he loves a good graph). Australasian Swamphen, Mount Gambier. (And someone will tell now me what these are called in NZ. I don't know why people do this but they always do.)

The person on the right called the person on the left "piggy". Seriously. #CatherineLucey #DonaldTrump #USPolitics #journalism

A scroll through PM Albo's tweets: • USA: shared values • South Africa: cooperation • EU: shared values • India: friend and partner • Ireland: shared values Is the "shared value" skin colour? 🤔 #auspol

Texas influencer based in Russia. Wouldn’t be surprised if most MAGA influencers are Russian based. That’s the state of the manipulated (happy to be manipulated because hate is seductive) world.

#CycloneFina has made landfall on the Tiwi Islands as a Category 2 tropical cyclone. Experts say it could intensify to a Category 3 system. The BOM's latest update shows the cyclone has sustained winds of 100 km/h near its centre, with wind gusts up to 140km/h. #weather #NorthernTerritory

“With their latest, poorly conceived climate policy, the LNP has boldly declared their priority: the financial burden of household power takes precedence over the urgent need to protect our planet.” theaimn.net/time-never-d...

A deadly funny thriller. Pure chaos. Dark comedy "Reckless" (2025) is a 4-part mini-series about two feuding Indigenous siblings in Fremantle, WA. Stars Tasma Walton and Hunter Page-Lochard, with Clarence Ryan and Jessica De Gouw. On SBS and #SBSOnDemand 📺

It would seem LNP's Hinchinbrook candidate Wayde Chiesa would be a perfect fit for David Crisafulli's Qld LNP Govt. #qldpol #QldVotes #HinchinbrookVotes

Liberal Leader Sussan Ley has dived into the sewer with her recent tweets, joining Barnaby Joyce, Matt Canavan, Pauline Hanson & Ralph Babet with nonsense attacks on Labor ministers or policy. She's destroying both her own credibility (and that of the Liberal Party) by posting blatant lies. #auspol

So many things I'm disappointed in by ABC News. But it always provides up-to-date news and advice when critical events are unfolding, esp. through local ABC radio. Sending good wishes to the people of the Tiwi Islands and Northern Arnhem Land in the NT. #CycloneFina #ourABC #JournalismMatters

As a child of the 1970's, I grew up on beer and cigarette ads. Fortunately long gone. The ubiquitous gambling ads of today have taught children, teens & young adults that you can't enjoy any sport w/o a bet with your mates. And PM Albo does nothing. 😠 #auspol #GamblingAdBan #SocialMediaBan

This outstanding, powerful, brilliant post by @demwar.bsky.social deserves to be a t-shirt (with uplifting music!) Superb. #auspol #AusVotes

Aust Govt in short: We want to make sure that the primary interaction your kids have online is with betting companies because we all want board positions post politics.

Reminder: Israel has a yearlong ceasefire with #Hezbollah. Israel has breached this ceasefire 10,000 times (in 1 year). 7,500 air strikes. 2,500 ground assaults, incl. an illegal wall built in Lebanon. Plus hundreds of assassinations of men, women and children. #IsraeliTerrorism #LebanonUnderAttack

Friday night. Work done. Dinner done. Sitting in the cool night air on the balcony, with a glass of wine, listening to #ScreenSounds with @dangolding.com Special: Australian Soundtracks from the Screen Music Awards 2025. Absolutely superb. 😊 🎶 🎥 📺 www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Quiet Piggy.

If you love film and television music, I highly recommend #ScreenSounds, hosted by @dangolding.com on ABC Classic Sat night 6pm-8pm. Or any time on the ABC Listen app. It is superb. 🎶 🎥 📺 www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

PM @albomp.bsky.social sounds like a befuddled 80yo 2GB listener, not the PM of a progressive Labor Govt. The #SocialMediaBan is an insult to engaged teens who use social media to learn about history, politics, world events, science, music, art, film, sport. Yet still no #GamblingAdBan? 🤔 #auspol

This week’s #SundayShot has @drdemography.com and @eddyjokovich.bsky.social plus an interview with @seankelly.bsky.social on the Quarterly Essay that’s got everyone talking. What’s not to love? Join us! And subscribe to us! youtube.com/@thesundayshot

Teacher Helga Lam had sexual relations with 4 male students (aged 13 to 16) in the 1970's. The criminal case against her collapsed when the NSW Supreme Court ruled the law didn't apply to women. Now a judge has found she couldn't be expected to have known her conduct would cause harm. 😠 #childabuse

International Men's Day was 19Nov. I don't remember hearing anything from the sexist misogynists who get upset and complain every year on International Women's Day. Where were all their celebrations?! btw the logos for International Men's Day are cringe every year. 👇 #InternationalMensDay 🙄

Superb @3rrr.bsky.social #SpinCycle with @jessielilley.bsky.social and @theshufflediary.bsky.social tonight. Stellar commentary on the #OliviaNuzzi & #RFKjr relationship & the excruciating #journalism coverage of it. Plus #auspol topics too. www.rrr.org.au/explore/prog...

Zionist Israel is a terrorist state. Its origin story is a lie: stolen land, drenched in the blood of Palestinians. Its horrific barbaric behaviour towards Palestine, Lebanon & Syria today should see it as a pariah state. Yet the West supports it. 😠 #IsraeliTerrorism #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

An Israeli air strike on Ein El Hilweh refugee camp in southern Lebanon has killed at least 13 Palestinian refugees. Israel continues to launch attacks on Lebanon on a near-daily basis. The video footage is terrifying. 😔 #IsraeliTerrorism #LebanonUnderAttack #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

The Daily Aus' Billi FitzSimons interviews Liberal Leader Sussan Ley 19Nov2025. #auspol #Climate #NetZero #science #economics #auspol omny.fm/shows/the-da...

Australian Labor PM Albanese is reminding me a LOT of John Howard, Tony Abbott and Scott Morrison (with his never-ending self-praise). Could we elect a Labor Govt with Labor leadership and Labor values at the next election please? 😠 #auspol #Climate #environment #fossilfuels #AUKUS #Zionism #CSIRO

'Australian values' according to whom, FFS? Given that most of the Libs' policies now seem straight from the 1970s, I'd be fairly sceptical they have the remotest idea what this country's values actually are.

An Israeli air strike on Ein El Hilweh refugee camp in southern Lebanon has killed at least 13 Palestinian refugees. The refugee camp has 70,000 Palestinian refugees. #IsraeliTerrorism #LebanonUnderAttack #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine aje.io/llwkxk

Seems that CSIRO environment, water, health, and biosecurity are losing the most jobs. We don't need those things do we! 😡

The CSIRO is to cut 350 research jobs. Important @grogsgamut.bsky.social piece. Read his report. Then I encourage you to contact your local Albo Govt MP. This is insane. #auspol #CSIRO #science #research thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

Well, this is total garbage! We need MORE R&D, not less, at this critical time... to be out front in innovation. World leaders. We have the smarts, the will and the energy. WTF @albomp.bsky.social !!

How can the UN Security Council pass a resolution allowing the US to go into Gaza to disarm Palestinian resistance groups?! Resistance, incl. armed resistance, against a colonial occupation force is not just recognised under int'l law, it's specifically endorsed. #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

Srsly outstanding commentary from Mark David, @independentaus.bsky.social. #auspol #Liberal #NetZero #TonyAbbott #SussanLey

If a Muslim man had sent a death threat to a white male politician it would be terrorism. The media would be screaming. Violence against women is quickly forgotten, even forgiven. If you are a woman of colour or of faith, you are considered fair game. Australia is as racist & sexist as anywhere.

This week, "mental health advocate" Chris Aldana posted a tweet defending his sexual "encounter" (as a 22yo teacher) with a 16yo as "consensual." Yet on his website he says it was "deeply inappropriate", "wrong" and that he took full responsibility for "the harm I caused". So, which is it? #SexAbuse

A new Liberal leader won't work. The problem is the horse, not the jockey. Now THAT'S a headline. #auspol
