Tim Costello was on briefly and pointed out the culprits blocking it, a powerful gambling lobby. Independents don't take money from them so can pressure him to do the right thing. Too little, too late tho.

Tim Costello likened that to putting three cigarette ads on an hour

Yes and no. We all understood that spaceflight was a risky business. What we did not appreciate were Shuttle compromises forced by budget. Two big ones were the segmentation of the SRBs to facilitate overland transport from Utah, and placing live crew next to instead of above the rocket propulsion.

Absolutely a flashback. I was working at NASA Michoud on the external tank, watching live on NASA internal TV, and we knew it was our piece that exploded and consumed the Shuttle. Took a few days for the SRB to be identified as the culprit.

100+ year old Pasteur Institute in Tehran was a premier infectious disease research institute and vaccine manufacturer It is a reason Iranian kids like me born in 60s had access to measles vaccines soon after they were developed in the west

These are, of course, war crimes and in fact totally intentional ones. The Israeli and American governments are demonstrating to the world their lack of regard for the most basic rules agreed to by civilized nations

Very excited for a few days off let’s be frank

Inline with this shakeup, Chris Minns announces school recess in NSW is now 9:00AM - 3:00PM.

If only Labor had won the last election with an overwhelming majority …

Thank you PM Albanese for protecting our kids during class time. A great reformist government!

Under a proposed gambling shakeup, children will only be able to access their Sportsbet accounts at recess and after school.

@albomp.bsky.social says”no gambling advertising at school pick up and drop off times.” Is this the most fatuous suggestion in gambling history? #auspol

😳

Apparently they stole 4 large boxes of popcorn and two Cokes

Again calling on the Albanese government to ease the fuel crisis by converting billionaires to biodisel.

Isn't that what's happening, social media companies have to remove under 16's, parents and kids don't have to do it. Hefty fines will kick in after a time, mainly because it won't be easy, it's a big change

The seas have boiled and almost all life is gone. Three data centers remain, solar-powered, in continuous relay with one another. They continuously transfer electronic funds back and forth with one another, silently. At long last, the economy is perfect.

Whether it’s Kristi Noem getting Mar A Lago face or it’s Bryon Noem wearing enormous fake breasts, the Noems have emerged as unexpected practitioners of gender affirming interventions.

It’ll be hard because neither of you have the stones to stand up to the pedo-in-chief

“I understand that you’re upset about the price of petrol…. But believe me, soon you’ll be thinking $2.50 a litre is a bargain”

I’ll be providing an alternative national address at 7pm tomorrow

Shorter national address

Albo "No more sniffing fuel"

Is that Kerry Chant off to stage left?

“Australia is not an active participant in this war [but we were the first country to throw our support behind it]” - Albo

YA RECKON?

For old time’s sake, Gladys will be addressing the nation at 11

If Albo isn’t wearing this, Victorians won’t listen. #auspol

Cannot wait to be empathised with by Albo over the price we're all paying for the illegal war which his mates Trump and Netanyahu started and which he was the first leader to publicly endorse.

Adding, as always, to my "I told you so" KPIs

Real buzz in the air at under 7s ballet practice tonight with Albo’s live address to the nation imminent

Is anyone actually mentioning WFH as a sensible option for reducing fuel use (where possible) or is everyone too scared of Chris Lucas and Big Cafe?

people simply love it when you storm out of the gates to support an illegal war, then lecture them about personal responsibility after it makes their lives worse

Today marks two years since Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom was killed by Israel. Two years on, there has been no justice or accountability. Even the family’s most basic wishes of an apology from Israel and compensation to honour her life and support other aid workers have not been met.

I’m excited to share that I’ve been invited to address the National Press Club. My chosen topic is How to identify false information.

Go get your own oil! - OK sir!!

Albo is going to address the nation at 7pm tonight. It better not interfere with MAFS programming.

Who are we seeing at the comedy festival, lads?

If this fuel supply situation gets any more serious ABC news crews might have to catch a tram into Melbourne’s CBD from Southbank to interview cafe owners regarding their opinions about it. 😱

National Press Club copping heavy criticism AGAIN I reported on the arms industry's infiltration of the NPC in Nov (after it cancelled Chris Hedges) More than a quarter of the NPC’s sponsors are part of the global arms industry or working on its behalf undueinfluence.substack.com/p/arms-indus...

South Australia has spent years patiently constructing one of the world's first big 100% clean grids. Its reward? Industries are *flocking* there to take advantage. Peak load is expected to double in coming years. Go green, make green.

I love this lady" The "reporter" was asking her these loaded racist question and she handle it perfectly. He really wants Black people protesting. 👏 Good for you lady. 92%

"Many Australian journalists and media outlets have been disgraceful, and discredited themselves, in the way they have covered this genocide." #GazaGenocide #auspol

Israel’s holocaust of Palestinians reached a horrific new low today. No different than trains heading to gas chambers. Shame on everyone silent about this.

The National Press Club needs to explain why they think it's appropriate to invite the Israeli ambassador to speak - a man representing a country that has murdered 300 journalists since it started is genocide in Gaza. Hillel Newman should be expelled, not honoured by the media.

Andrew Probyn grills Hillel Newman as he refuses apology to family of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom. Pivots to denying the genocide in Gaza and gloats that Israel should be commended. On Zomi says “sympathy has been expressed…as far as I know” — utterly shameless. #auspol

Hillel Newman has justified Israel’s new laws applying the death penalty only to Palestinians, saying it’s because Palestinians are “deranged” & “the usual punishment is no deterrent” — Horrifying the broadcast is allowed to go on. This man is sick. #auspol

Gerald Ford vetoed naming a post office after himself.

Anna, sorry. Not the unflushable Sarah.
