Where did my little folding bike take me today? A road closed made for a detour. Shoes off to cross the inlet to walk along a beach to find another road.

The 90 deg V twin 270/450 pulsed firing. The sideways bob when you blip the throttle from the longitudinal mounted crank and flywheel. Brings a smile to my face even before I’ve left the driveway.

Emboldened, work-shy Nazi thugs. They attack defenceless women in our parks. They deliberately commit affray, assault, and issue violent threats. Revoke their bail. Use police, media and bystander footage to lay new charges. Yesterday would have been a good time.

This loser calls the premier a coward. Yet he and his fascist mates attacked defenceless middle aged First Nations women on the weekend in Melbourne. Two women needed to be hospitalised.

Despite 78% of West Australians wanting stronger enviro laws, a Labor Premier & Labor PM prioritise fossil fuel companies over Nature and protecting this incredible place for future generations? 🤯🤦♂️ We’ve got state capture of the major parties in 🇦🇺

I thought Alan Kohler was fairly conservative. Yet today he discusses the risks of productivity over equality and social stability. It’s a good read.

As Trump takes charge, we can see the dark side of productivity and growth
In Australia, our woeful productivity lately is a source of puzzled discontent and finger-pointing, especially when compared with the United States. But the dark side has been made clear.

Interesting how perceptions change. When I was a schoolboy, captain James Cook was a hero. No discussion of invasion. Now at the NSW Art Gallery - this statue. A relaxed James Cook contemplating his legacy as he overlooks the harbour he discovered. Michael Parekowhai.

Labor and Liberal governments have passed 49 anti-protest laws across the country over the last two decades. It is damning (& history will judge us harshly) but no surprise that 🇦🇺 leads the world on climate protest arrests.
