The ICE agents wearing masks in the USA today are most likely the same people who vehemently opposed mask wearing during COVID

To clarify, according to the latest from the President: the US did not attack Iran because it anticipated Iran would attack it because Israel was going to attack Iran. The US attacked Iran because it forced Israel to attack Iran because Iran was going to attack Israel after the US attacked Iran.

Netanyahu to the U.S. Congress, 2002: "If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region."

Please please please get on this

I asked my students today who the new Liberal leader was. None knew. One knew about Sussan Ley. All knew who Peter Dutton is (not fans though). Albanese and Hanson also had universal name recognition. No one could name the leader or past leaders of the Nats or Greens. #auspol people overestimate

The slope is getting more slippery

The US rejected such an argument for preventative self-defense in 1981 when Israel bombed Osirak in Iraq.

March already. Time to think of Christmas plans

Melbourne weather is being very Melbourne

Why are surgeons like armadillos? Because whenever a patient tries to speak with them they roll up into an armoured ball and pretend no one is there. #Epworth

Independent Senator David Pocock has added his voice to calls for a 25% tax on gas exports. @markogge.bsky.social explains why Australia taxes beer more effectively than its gas exports. Read the full piece on The Point: https://theaus.in/4sf8hAN

This referral is overdue. But will the Epworth and the tight cabal of private specialists get away with suppressing consumer and health professional’s complaints????

A neat summary of the impact humans have had on life on this planet

Nuclear was being madly pushed (by the nuclear and fossil fuel lobbies) as a solution for our climate emergency. Just never know when it will be finished, or how much it will end up costing, or what to do with the waste.

We’re all entitled to our own opinions. We’re not entitled to our own facts. Popcorn lung is an invention

Victorian government is refusing to undertake an independent enquiry into Epworth private hospital. The cover up continues as experts in the field have been muzzled.

Today is a lovely day in Melbourne after the rain has made the plants happy after a dry January when it looked like a drought was starting Tomorrow it will flood. 🙀

www.theage.com.au/national/vic... The question has to be asked: Why is it inappropriate, according to the Director of Clinical Governance at the Epworth Private hospital, to comment on an individual doctor who has damaged a patient when the patient has self identified?

Not surprised. Ashamed that the his is our government

Has the Segal woman called out Pauline Hansons hate speech?

Remember when Australia blocked Huawei because it reported to the Chinese government and was supposed to have kill switches that could stop computers, cars etc Now we find out this is what America tech bros have been doing

I find Australia getting number 2 ranking in digital governance hard to believe. Clearly it does not include things that are important to Australians: * Internet speed * cost to consumers * reliability (inc access to 000)

🪐📚 James Islington’s hierarchy series should come with a way of explanation of the three universes. The strength of the few shifts between each with no warning. Bit i suspect that may be deliberate. He spins an intriguing tale and this narration is superb.

You have to love Prof Twomey. She pulls no punches.

Enjoy this little round up of Angus Taylor's many talents . . . and yes, it's from the tiktok pages of Rupert's Australian (apologies for the aspect ratio, my converter refused to do anything better than this 😎)

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02... The biggest problem facing the Australian health systems is medical specialists. Over 30 years ago I developed the first patient experience surveys in Australia. Consistently the worst aspect of heat are has been doctors failure to communicate.

Yes indeed Sign the petitions

Yup

The difference between protests in Sydney and Melbourne is profound. The stand out is the directions given to the respective police

NAB have completely eliminated people from their service chain. 😤😤😤

You will be cohesive 😤

There has been two years of peaceful protests with no problem. The new laws and invitation to Herzog has resulted in violence and amplified division.

Can’t help thinking that inviting Herzog has been a deliberate provocation of division.

Buyers remorse. Just bought an ASKO heat pump dryer. The instructions in English have not been edited. Have I made a mistake. Can a company that can’t be bothered to quality check their manuals be trusted.
