Jacarandas! Means it’s Spring 🤩 & Xmas is coming 😳

Way hey hey! A galah at Boolcoomatta ... being a galah 😄

If you think the hate in Australia is new or imported from the US, you're not paying attention and are deeply neglecting the history of this country.

Wooooo 👻 Ooooooo Weirdly, I can’t abide horror films but I love the Uncanny podcast (although I won’t listen at night lol). Now it’s October, #Uncanny is counting done to All Hallows’ Eve with snack size spookiness every day 🎃 (there’s 109 full sized eps to hear if you’ve not had the pleasure)

Excuse me! Could I have a little privacy, please? 😄

It’s what we do to anyone returning from serving elsewhere right? #auspol

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

If you wish to complain about NACC Commissioner Paul Brereton, and what looks like (another) huge conflict of interest, you can at the NACC Inspector’s website. You can even complain anonymously if you wish. naccinspector.gov.au/make-complaint

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

Always wonderful to bump into my old friend Daniel Radcliffe!

I know it's not the point of this article at all but Briggs is ridiculously good at what he does. If you haven't heard his stuff, I recommend checking him out. Either solo work or A.B. Original, or any one of the multitude of collabs he's done - it's all good! Briggs is amazing.

Looking forward to guiding our upcoming Saskatchewan wildlife tour later this week! #birding #photography #birds

Jimmy Kimmel starts right NOW for the east coast,, Let’s Go,!!

The debate should be clear that when Hastie says *people feel like a stranger in our own country* he means this. And Box Hill and Preston and Harris Park and Springvale and lots of other great neighbourhoods. Nobody should mistake what he said.

One of the best Aurora shows I’ve seen. Legit just stopped and watched it dance. Big camera is shooting. This is just iPhone again.

Victoria's big batteries have broken a record, charging up with enough electricity to power over 2 million homes, after soaking up half of the state's rooftop solar capacity reneweconomy.com.au/victoria-bec...

I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.

THE COLOURS 🤩

“Why should my taxes pay for YOUR healthcare?” Because you live in a society. Part of being in society means contributing to ensure everyone is taken care of I wish more people would realize the tax dollars they would spend on Universal healthcare would be far less than private insurance premiums

Out in Ōtara today learning about pest control, bait & trapping, suppression over elimination strategies & feeling grateful for these new perspectives of the place I’ve lived for over two decades. These little pockets of the Ōtara catchment, almost 200km of open stream, are such a joy to discover.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

Mediawatch said they couldn’t find the article I mentioned about Golriz “using mental health as an excuse” in our episode of The Elephant. Found it: www.thepost.co.nz/politics/350... and here’s the Mediawatch episode: www.rnz.co.nz/podcast/medi...

No, I won’t come on the radio show you are paid to do, to “debate” aka educate your uninformed and sexist opinion. When will these sports men learn, I have no interest in any of them.

Bah bah bah! 🇵🇸

If people can't pay their bills or feed their families, many are going to turn to crime. What else are they supposed to do? This is why Centrelink benefits are crucial. If we don't support people who need it, through taxes, we pay through increased crime and insurance premiums anyway.

Yayyyy. I'm so happy for you, @squigglyrick.bsky.social for your grit & heart & writing voice and because you don't write for awards but for justice. And kudos that the Prime Minister's Prize going to a book which chronicled a wicked failure of government.

“Some of the people responsible for robo-debt are working outside the public service and not sanctioned by legal boards as far as I know, and some who designed robo-debt are still in the public service in compliance and audit roles. How can that be?”

‘Voices for Freedom’ Certain political communities love a misnomer for a name hey? Like a Taxpayers Union. That isn’t. A union. 😗 Like a “grassroots group”. That isn’t. And has big money back-up to boot. #NZpol #auspol

“Israeli Forces Kill 198 Palestinians in Gaza Over Three Days” It’s a genocide. Daily endless massacres, largely ignored in the West.

This whole section really.

Drones should be an illegal weapon of war. There should be some risk to a military operation to theoretically give people pause. This is death by PlayStation controller.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.
