It’s looking more and more like HSR will finally happen here in Australia. Decades of studies going nowhere and this is the most promising yet! For both the Sydney Newcastle leg first yo but even the entire East coast going forward #auspol #rail #trains #transit #urbanism #rail

Hot take: If you literally can't survive without it, a billionaire shouldn't own it. Digital infrastructure is as essential as roads and hospitals. Let's act like it and nationalise it now.

This YouTube comment 💔 “Thanks for writing a song that expresses the strange grief that comes with watching a country that we grew up thinking was the greatest, collapse by its founding structures. Fighting to protect amendments that it ultimately will be destroyed by it too” #america #fascism

this looks great

Not nearly enough is made of the incredibly impressive feat Indian Railways has made to electrify almost 100% of its 135,000km of track, while also growing renewable sourcing. Huge: timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/ind...

How to not plan for the future in seven rails. Different types of dual gauge tracks in Brisbane, Australia. Three different gauges were used in this country, with it even resulting in dual gauge being needed for the new Inland Rail project. #trains #infrastructure #australia

One of the easiest things we can do to improve the world is to END GOLF

So Australians are supposed to be disappointed that our PM won’t be meeting a lunatic who believes Paracetamol causes Autism. Spare me! Ian

That tiara could fully fund the charity I'm on the board of for 4 years. Fuck the royals.

Union members at the ABC and across the media industry stand with John Lyons and reject the US President’s unfounded attacks on our colleague. #MEAAmedia

Christ on a bike Tony Abbott is still a cunt, isn’t he?

idk man if I had just lost my kid to a school shooting and the news cycle was dominated by people loudly mourning the loss of a guy whose life’s work was radicalizing people, largely children, into thinking that’s a cool and normal thing to do while contributing nothing else, I’d probably go insane

Sign the petition calling for a National Firearms Register – a reform first pledged in 1996 that is critical to preventing future tragedies in Australia. nb.australiainstitute.org.au/australia_ne...

This picture alone should be enough to end this fucker’s presidency. Imagine this was your 12 year old daughter. Imagine what happened after this.

Now THIS is interesting. Especially that last bit about Melania making an unscheduled visit to “tour” Walter Reed….

For those saying the rallies on the weekend weren't racist, violent Nazi rallies. Really? They were though. And everyone knows they were. #auspol #AntiImmigrationRally #NoRoomForRacism

If Katter is good for anything it’s a sad laugh at his insanity

2% of parents reading to their children just breaks my heart. Reading to my child is one of my favourite things.

What’s the reason the autistic community are being attacked so profoundly? Can anyone guess ? #NDIS #DisabilityRights

"Strength is not measured by how many people you can blow up or how many children you can leave hungry." Didn’t expect our government to actually finally say things like this in response to being called “weak”. Keep it coming! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

I find it fascinating how an old episode of Star Trek Voyager (Warhead) can be so timely. The best Trek is always the Trek that is touching on problems of society.

Our government announced plans to recognise Palestine finally. Way overdue and not enough but it’s a step. Sanctions next please. #auspol #palestine #israel #australia www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Welp

Had a fun day today. I may have accidentally hyper focussed for 12 hours but it was worth it!

It's the smartest most useful model yet 🙃

The ABC doesn't even try to hide their bias anymore. Tonight's 730 story on Victoria's WFH legislation - the intro calls it an "angry debate" then the only people they interview are all critics, incl Head of a business lobby group, a business owner/"influencer" and the LNP's Tim Wilson...🙄 #auspol

This one is for all the "I don't get it" people. How the art is interacted with is part of it.

Huge American-style utes are damaging our roads, reducing safety, and increasing emissions. “In Europe they’re introducing measures to discourage people from driving these big utes... "In Australia we’ve got subsidies for them.” @richarddenniss.bsky.social, Executive Director #auspol

If this isn’t enough indication that your constituents want genuine action then I don’t know what is. Come on @albomp.bsky.social, show some actual guts and real leadership instead of the nothing you’ve been doing so far. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #auspol #palestine #gaza #australia

Which will no doubt be used to justify jailing children 🙄 #auspol #queensland #humanrights www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

What state have we got to as a country when saving human life has to be justified?

Another different angle shot but of the Eiffel Tower from a few years ago. This one I have a giant canvas of as well and it’s one of my favourites. #photography #paris #france #blackandwhite

I was in Sydney a little while ago and took this different angle of the harbour bridge. Something fun about shots of famous things from different viewpoints. I feel I should get this one printed! #photography #australia #sydney #blackandwhite

Is there anything more delicious than a glass of really cold water after cleaning your teeth?

Iran has a democracy until then CIA MI6 overthrew it in 1953. Read here why. Why is the US always messing with other nations?

This image is now absolutely everywhere over European media lmao

"Improving living standards is really what productivity is about – not growing the profits of large companies" At least someone is saying it! @grogsgamut.bsky.social Read: www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

There's a thread on AskReddit asking, "People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened?" 99% of the answers are depressing American stories about medical bills, 1% is an Australian who found a wombat burrowing under their house.
