Superb food and plating at Jano Bistro, Wellington NZ #plating #Food #Photography

I find the encased quilts in hotels too hot for me and always ask it be replaced with a top sheet and light blanket Last night’s blanket would have been too warm for a Sherpa’s hiking kit.

More than 600 dead since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. Ongoing widespread harassment and vilification of First Nations people including by elected MPs. A potentially devastating attack by a white man motivated by racist ideology. Terrorism is terrorism. #auspol

This is absolutely shocking. Something has to be done about this appalling situation in which so many now find themselves. The government needs to act

David Pope in Canberra Times

Oh just another breakfast TV host normalising racism and hatred

Read our advisory committee member, Josh Bornstein's important contribution in the ABC today (link in bio) about why Albanese should not have invited Herzog to Australia. Rescind the invitation, now.

I’m not sure how much notice this has received but the Assembly of First Nations in Canada has issued a travel advisory for the United States after reports that Indigenous people are being increasingly questioned and detained by ICE. www.instagram.com/p/DT-_SacDEH...

Creating a new position to prosecute fraud and report directly to the White House destroys 40 years of post Watergate reforms to protect DOJ independence. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

Weather outlook. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Australia’s four seasons

If you were going to hold any religious institution in Australia to account, you’d start with the Catholic church

the @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social calls on Albanese to rescind the initiation to Isaac Herzog

genuinely interested to see how throwing a bomb at a protest doesnt constitute terrorism, but i feel like i can probably guess the guy's race

firing the face associated with the unpopular thing is the Reality TV approach to damage control and must never be mistaken for the appropriate execution of justice

Happy White Australia Day #auspol #AustraliaDay

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

From the New York Times, front page video analysis, right now.

"Roughly 90,000 Jewish Australians received uninterrupted national mourning. Meanwhile, around 800,000 Aboriginal Australians are told they do not even have the right to mourn publicly on the day that marks the beginning of their dispossession." #Australia fyi @blakandblack.bsky.social

women escaping violent males need safe accommodation and MONEY. The state itself creates the biggest, most abusive barriers to secure housing and income. If policing DV resources were redirected to housing and income support, we would get somewhere - but they do not want that.

Something to think about. 🖤💛💔

The breakup note #auspol #coalition #socialcohesion

Australians think this, Australians think that is such fucked up arrogance from our public figures. Nobody knows what 27 million people all think. Not one of them has remotely represented my views or the view of people I have real conversations with about 14 December 25.

Allies before allies were a thing. Will never forget this moment. RIP Rob.

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Has Albanese committed to the defence of Denmark or the invasion?

The NSW Premier's Department has fired an Aboriginal man after he displayed pro-Palestinian slogans on his guitar at a work event www.deepcutnews.com/p/nsw-premie...

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

i just feel like america has no business starting fights with the country that makes ozempic

Australians have absolutely given travel to the US the thumbs down. My column for #ThePoint thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

Was going to launch this at Adelaide - but will now be Canberra in March. I suck at promotion, but it’s open for pre order at wherever you get your books (and you can ask your library for it too) 🩷

Hate and hate groups raise very real problems. There are existing powers to ban neo-Nazis and other groups that promote or incite violence. We have repeatedly asked why these powers have not already been used against neo-Nazis and not had adequate answers.

If you were part of the Robodebt class action settlement, you may be eligible for compensation. Registration for compensation ends in early March 2026. Make sure you’re registered. Contact Gordon Legal if you haven’t received a information document package from Services Australia

Shared with great respect to Randa Abdel-Fattah who has been through so much the past week, including being potentially defamed by the SA Premier. May our cultural and arts institutions develop an ounce of the courage shown by writers like Abdel-Fattah.

Australia has had a rise of 237,000 children living in poverty. Which brings the total up to 950,100 which means this year we are at risk of it surpassing 1 million bcec.edu.au/media/anothe...

Papers please

In Albo's new antisemitism bill, the definition of "hate crime", which underpins the new regime to proscribe "hate groups" like the Nazis, specifically excludes "advocating genocide". That is, advocating genocide is treated as not being a racist hate crime. Now, why would that be?

Few words. My @smh @theage cartoon

@roweafr just like clockwork FinancialReview

Boards composed of individuals with little experience in the arts & blind to the moral implications of abandoning the principle of freedom of expression, have been unnerved by the pressure exerted by politicians calculating their electoral prospects & relentless, coordinated letter-writing campaigns

When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.

Still waiting for those Epstein files to be released

“we’ll be greeted as liberators!” they say as they board the last flight out
