before judging someone for eating frozen or processed food you must: 1. ensure they are able-bodied 2. find out if they have a functional kitchen + safe living space 3. realize that you will never be entitled to any of this information so you must, in fact, never judge others’ food choices🫶🌈💗

Transcript from estimates: "The special envoy themselves undertook targeted market research through confidential soundings within and adjacent to the Jewish community to identify potential suppliers for this work."

#auspol Amy Remekis on point as usual. As we hear the press complain about "broken promises" it's worth remembering "The press gallery is whiter and wealthier than most of the population. ...It’s largely a privileged world, which is becoming more privileged every season."

Strange she doesn't know given the Office of Multicultural Affairs at Estimates provide some more info. Special advice for Special Envoy under special contract for .... prepping Segal for the RC... and helping her with "media engagement and public discourse". From the Canberra Times (28 May).

In case you missed it on msm it’s National Reconciliation week!

Thank you . I will complain to abc. It’s National Reconciliation week and Armstrong does a story on a toilet paper company with an Indigenous founder to undermine Labor. It’s Price like stuff on the referendum . Does she ever acknowledge the amazing work of Indigenous Labor MPs ? She has no shame

Former Labor advisor Sarah Adams questions the Libs’ plan to become electable again by making Tony Abbott President saying all she can recall is choppergate, eating onions, cutting hospitals, the GP tax “And all of that is before you get to misogyny…culture wars…”🔥 #auspol

Happy 65th, Melissa Ethridge! 🎶 What's one of your favorite Melissa Ethridge songs? 🎶 Born in Leavenworth, Kansas, on May 29, 1961, Ethridge released her self-titled debut album in 1988. The album quickly became an underground success. It peaked at #22 on the Billboard 200 chart and earned her a 👇

Morning🦋 I think by now, all of you know it takes something "special" to compel me to turn the sound on, for anything🤫 There's so much 'noise' both in my mind & in my environment that I loathe to add to it with anything. I consider this video amazingly special & I'm sharing it to you, to listen🐸🥰❣️

Ballot paper. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Driving home my oldest, I commented on an evergreen tree by the side of the road which looked like it had a catastrophic leaf fall when he completely matter of fact, says :"It sneezed" 🤣🤣🤣

Puppydog eyes. My @smh @theage cartoon.

The are literally paid to blow smoke up people's arse. My son's been searching for three years. They are "helping" him find a job but NONE of them are suitable for him, physically or mentally. They've now signed him up to a "small business" course, to become self employed 😩 More work for us parents

Dear #RushFamily If anyone gets a dm from me, I’m sincerely apologizing. The system is doing it on its own and it’s not coming from me. Please just delete. Hopefully this goes away soon. I would never ever do this to anyone on purpose, nor would I annoy anyone with this garbage. 🤬😤

The only Ghostbusters I'll ever watch.

ASIC who is currently giving evidence in the Senate says they have commenced preliminary investigations Sarah Court “we are onto this” Well let’s see how this latest scandal goes. There should be a a complete ban on these big dodgy firms, KPMG, PwC, etc, they never learn.

BREAKING: KPMG Australia CEO Andrew Yates has resigned. Follows explosive Senate evidence revealed by Senator Deborah O’Neill of an internal whistleblower being suppressed after exposing KPMG Partners accessing secret Lendlease files to rig multi-million dollar tenders. #auspol

The things that are lurking there are shock jocks, ex shock jocks, The Herald Sun & other tabloids, Jeff Kennett, the Vic Liberal Party and tax avoiders.

Neil’s still ranting about “dangerous and deadly” Victoria…..yet, oddly, still chooses to live in its capital city of Melbourne-officially the Most Liveable City in the world-and relax in its elite peninsula resort area….

It's a terribly sad day for Australia with the passing of Neale Daniher. Neale was a truly remarkable, courageous advocate who dedicated himself to raising awareness and improving treatment of motor neurone disease.

Trump pardoned those six men and now wants to reward them….

This from a woman who blames Melbourne’s lockdowns for her son going to live in France with his dad. Why doesn’t she go back there if she hates it in Melbourne so much?

This Trumpism BS is what happens when Journalism is reduced to cheap entertainment &billionaire funded propaganda Courage and integrity in Journalism is needed now, more than ever Hanson’s ON are dimwits,FFS! Any so-called journalist should easily call them out instantly

David Pocock left gobsmacked after asking why a contract - no tender - no minister sign off - has gone to a co founded by Scott Morrison’s fmr priv sec Yaron Finkelstein Home Affairs Sec Stephanie Foster has the answer, a decision by the unelected Antisemitism envoy. FFS #auspol

One Nation redneck, Joyce whining to Channel 7 Right Wing shill, Barr about what’s “crazy” is as hilarious as it is demented

ABC's reporting on this has been woeful. I agree with Johnathon Green's comments about news a couple of days ago it isn't isolated to one story. 2 stories talking points fleshed out then case studies. Then debunked by an expert, junk journalism he said close to politically captive. Come on ABC!

Clare Armstrong just said a lot of people are going to pay more tax (with the removal of CGT discount). Its a capital gains tax. You have to have made a capital gain to pay it. How many people will that apply to and why shouldn't they pay tax on a profit?

It's rubbish reporting

Was it the racism and hatred of migrants , including our wonderful health care workers 😢?

Abso bloody lutely! Did the ABC "journalist" ask exactly which ON policy attracted the disaffected voter? Or was it the aeroplane?

❤️💛🖤

An ex local Freo Green Councillor ( campaign manager for Pettit) told me she rents out her spare bedroom as an Airnnb because she doesn’t want a permanent tenant and makes more more money doing Airbnb 😪 The Council advertised the top 10 luxury Airbnbs ( not hers) on their website

ABC has obligations to Australians not to follow commercial media, the need to find the negative is evident daily. ABC supposed to be researched and factual, not based on fomenting angst. Competent journalist instead of ex Murdoch stenographers required

And for nearly a year she hasn’t stopped sowing seeds of doubt about Albanese! How much is she paid a yr ?

So who does Clare Armstrong work for ? abc the Conservative right in the LNP or Murdoch ?

A bit proud. 1000’s of knitters across the world are knitting Rowan’s Heirloom KAL by Martin Storey. Rowan have just emailed their knitters worldwide and have included a picture with of my WIP. (see Rowan Connect Make Along group on Facebook too) 🧶 #knit #rowan #heirloom #kal

QIDAN have done an excellent summary of just how little action has taken place in response to the Disability Royal Commission. Very much worth your time: qai.org.au/wp-content/u...

"Finkelstein was contacted for comment but referred questions to Segal’s office. A spokesperson for Segal declined to comment, noting she is due to appear in Senate estimates on Thursday."

NRA seems to be the got to for many to learn (another was One Nation) “how to target lawmakers and how to mobilise their own members to give the impression of broad community support.”

".....has gone to a co founded by Scott Morrison’s fmr priv sec Yaron Finkelstein" Which one? - Wolf+Smith"

Dan Tehan, colossal numpty, commenting on the electricity price reduction today. Power prices went up by $1300, he says, with no context. For who? When? Where? Compared to who? Crikey, is this the best that they can do? #auspol

Hoarding dollars is the same as hoarding McDonald's wrappers It's gross
