The Sunday Shot. Not your usual hackneyed Sunday morning political affairs fare! Don't miss it, or you'll miss it. #auspol #SundayShot

Just showed the boys some select scenes of Jurassic Park and the older toddler goes “I hope they’re ok!” And I say: it’s ok, look, the little boy and the girl are safe! To which he says No. I mean the velociraptors.

Misogyny aside; the LNP’s wilful ignorance in regard to all things scientific is a serious concern Any party that chooses to base its political views and values on misinterpretations of biblical myths written over 3,000 years ago should not be allowed to govern anything

Job done. 🖤💛❤️ #TREATY

Superb work!

As I was effectively reporting on myself, I contacted MSM peers and The Age reporter, Gareth Hutchins 'took the story' and I 'handed' (sent) him all my notes and recordings. (Not ethical to report on oneself unless it can be justified ethically). See: www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

"Sure am," I responded. I was also wired to the dictaphone in my pocket, recording it all. Heck, they even tried to send me to an English class to learn to read and write ffs. So, yes, get rid of it & bring back the CES.

I soon worked out that I'd 'upset the apple cart' and at that meeting the Russo staffer asked me "why was I conducting reporting on a mutual obligation worksite?" So, I responded: "As you asked, I'm working to improve my employment prospects." The staff then asked if I was taking notes. 7/🧵

It was a mix of those sentenced by Victorian courts to 'community work' and those "sentenced" by mutual obligation doing the same tasks at the same places. So I started interviewing them. I filed reports. Some made the local Leader newspapers (Murdoch) I once filed and worked for. 3/🧵

Yep. When I left Murdoch and became a (then) unemployed freelancer, yes, I went on 'the dole' for a while. I had to sign up for a Sarina Russo job agency and meet the mutual obligations crap. So we saw an opportunity to both 'flip the script' and continue being a journo. 1/🧵

End all funding every single private employment services provider. Salt the earth so those in change of them never get any public money ever again - run them out of the country. Get rid of mutual obligations Bring back the CES Raise the fricken rate Ain’t hard.

So when Russo's agency assigned me to some useless task to 'improve' employment prospects, we showed up, but we had all our journo gear (pen, pad, dictaphone) in our pockets. Realising what I had in front of me, I started speaking to others doing the same 'mutual obligations' 2/🧵

Excellent thread

Just my thoughts. Yesterday, I was out in the field across Melbourne's north-east suburbs. Reservoir, Mill Park, Greensborough, Eltham, Lalor, Epping, Montmorency etc and I noticed something ... 1/

So then we all (the locals kids) went and got 27MHz CB radios and soon had our own network across Greensborough, Montmorency, Eltham etc) Channel 18, on 27MHz CB 'the Greensborough' channel. When we got cut off we kids found a way around it. That was the 1980s and 90s. Social media ban? lmfao.

The social media ban won't work. I'm of the 'one phone' in the loungeroom/hallway days. One day, when Mum was out, Dad at work, my bro and I, well, we climbed under the house and patched in our own phone lines. (This idiot forgot to turn the ringer off and got busted by Dad days later, grounded).

Huge story here. Daniel had his payments illegally cancelled by the Mutual Obligations system. After years of bravely fighting, he exposed the error and won the backpay he was always legally entitled to

Worthless, chickenshit ANONYMOUS statement from the do-nothing Albanese Government who have done nothing to address these crises OR rebuild trust in the welfare system, have no plans for reform, & watch on uselessly as the collapsing welfare administration blows holes in legislation and the budget.

Stunning! What a thing to witness. www.theguardian.com/global/2025/...

justinthenickofcrime A judge in Chicago just flipped the script completely. If ICE agents are caught trying to arrest someone at or around a courthouse, they can now be arrested themselves. Cook County’s top judge made it illegal for ICE to detain anyone inside or even near a courthouse.

My grandma texted to say the birthday flowers I sent came in the biggest bouquet she’s ever seen. I called our small hometown florist I always use to say an extra thank you, and they were like “We did your grandpa’s funeral in March. We just thought she could use some extra love this year.” 🥹

some sad news from @philhazell1.bsky.social on the other platform 💜

There is no bailout that will solve this problem. It took decades to create the markets for beans and months to devastate the markets for beans. NY Times: China Bought $12.6 Billion in U.S. Soybeans Last Year. [52% of exports] Now, It’s $0.

Just Saying My opinion only … We are being sold out by @australianlabor.bsky.social and the previous BS LNP government.. coal oil & gas … precious metals … cowering to #WarMonger western leaders.. crickets on #FreePalestine until dragged kicking and screaming cowering to #Zionists #Auspol

Big personal news - just booked my first international standup gig! Related: can anyone tell me what the Taliban find funny?

Oh good. At least we know that members of Congress and all the Capitol Hill staffers will continue to get paid during the government shutdown. Now I can sleep at night.

This is the cringiest MF on the planet. He’s actually saying this to our most senior military officers from around the world.

An excellent episode with Rachel & Paul plus @davemilbo.bsky.social's great UN coverage. Per Jo elsewhere re weekend edification: I agree. Not since the days of Barry would I say that Insiders is moral or intellectually instructive & stimulating. We're so lucky to have this fantastic alternative ✌️🙏✌️

I'd really like to see him marry into the venerable DressedAsLamb family

Agree with all of this... but the final lines? "None of this is normal. All of it is dangerous and corrosive to our democracy." This milksop characterisation is part of the problem. This is is fascism, right now, it's just that some people haven't noticed because they haven't personally been hit.

Washington doesn't want you to know this… But there’s ONE WEIRD TRICK that ends inflation and recession risks. And I can share it with you TODAY if you act quickly.

An unmitigated irrelevance...
