#auspol AUKUS bigger plan, and they know it will destroy us.

Much as I'd like to see the Iranians free themselves of their theocratic government, Iran having nuclear capability may be the only way that ghoulish Israel is forced to reign in its genocide and expansion. All other countries are simply sitting on their hands and looking the other way.

Just wondering how much of a signal the payout to the J6th insurrectionists is to Trumps cult followers, if they should be called on after the Nov primaries and/or in 2028.

Left- IOF chief rabbi says that Israeli soldiers can rape Arab women to boost their morale. Right- Israel dropped charges against 5 soldiers accused of raping a Palestinian prisoner.

Orange flags were put up along the highway for the State Emergency Services "wear orange" Wednesday here in Nthn Victoria. Person putting up the flags told a traveller it was in support of One's Nation, and that has been taken up and applauded by the locals along with Ausie flags ...so help us all.

Americas inability to deal with Trump, his regime, the GOP and the partisan judiciary, has exposed its claim of "greatest democracy" as being as shallow as a Hollywood movie set. They've believed their own BS far too long.

It appears the hurt feelings of a few mostly white pro-genocide pro-🇮🇱 Australians when they spot a Palestinian flag or watermelon matter deeply to our pm @albomp.bsky.social however the lives of Australian women along with racism and Islamophobia don't matter one iota. #auspol #MVAW #MVAC

Brilliant. Well worth everyone's time to watch in full, think about, and decide on how to react to change the course for the better.

This gave me chills. Watch.

Could @australianlabor.bsky.social please consider helping non-profit housing co-ops buy blocks of units sold as a single block, which can be quickly renovated and rented at 30% of a person's income? This block of nine is being sold near a light rail stop, making it perfect.

2/2 The domain is being hosted on the same IP address as the so-called “Muslim Votes Matter” party, the “Free Palestine party” & the “Save the Environment party” – three other entities seeking registration ahead of November’s election. Avi Yemeni and Monica Smit are involved. Dirty politics

Doomscrolling the state of AUKUS, Australia, the United Kingdom and the US, I could almost throw the towel in, but then seeing what countries in Europe are doing, which is too rarely reported, my spirits are lifted. Polies take tax funded "study tours" to Europe but still suck up to the RW "WEST".

Over a decade ago, when I was renting, I places a bird bath with a central Buddha figure in the garden, purely for the aesthetics. On Hindu festival days, my landlord's mother would honour it with garlands of flowers, and scented candles. - Would that we all could be as inclusive and respectful.

‼️ Not a single stone remains standing, nor a tree, nor a human being—Israel has completely annihilated Beit Hanoun in Palestine. ‼️ I just don't understand how the world sits back and watches this shit.

Hearing of yet another family getting together and making a huge effort to do the badly needed renovations on the family home, in order to prepare it for sale after the parent's deaths. Shame they didn't do that while the parents were alive so that they could live their last years in some comfort.

Makers of artificial indoor plants should include a few dried leaves, or at least some try tips, in their plants. There is perfection in the imperfect.

Meanwhile criticism of these barbarians could end up with a prison sentence in Australia. #auspol #endthegenocide #fromtherivertothesea

Ha! Ha! Just had a mind prompt about politicians and the "Upper Class". Nixon's son wasn't that he recorded conversations in the Oval Office, but that he got caught doing it. - back then, incompetence had its price. Today it is rewarded.

Powerful speech. Truth to power. I hope that he's right about the mid-term votes. It will require an overwhelming turnout at the polls.

If the Nationals and One Nation formed a coalition due to the demise of the Liberals, then they too would be a NON party.

Respect for democracy, human rights and international law is weakening globally – and Australia is not immune to the consequences, Gillian Triggs writes. #auspol #HumanRights #Democracy

On Budget night tonight, an exclusive group of Australia’s 1% will pay $110,000 to dine with Labor’s inner circle. The 1% pay a worker’s annual wage to sip champagne with the PM, while you read the news about NDIS cuts that pay for increased defence spending. It’s cooked.

Even under kings, dictators and other potentates, people adapt and learn to survive. It's when the system becomes unstable and you don't know who to trust, bribe, confide in, that the shit really hits the fan. ...just saying...

Ha! If the roast chickens at the local supermarket get any smaller, they will be able to / (have to under consumer laws), sell them as a Spatchcock*, and charge a premium for it. * In Australia, Spatchcock refers to a small young chicken which is tender and considered a single-serve portion.

When I agree to a price, job, thank someone for a job done, or greet someone for the first time, I instinctively put out my hand to shake theirs. Increasingly they look at my hand, and me, as if I was trying to ...I don't know what, ...pass on a virus(?). When did shaking hands not become a thing?

If you haven't read "The Constant Gardener" I highly recommend you do. Extremely relevant on many levels. (e.g. The Panama Papers)

The scientists supposedly all had access to sensitive government research, and the nature of their work has led to speculation that their cases might all be connected.

Its becoming almost impossible to distinguish between truth and lies, reality and AI, be it in the media or on social media. Even the "truth" may only be part of the overall truth and out of context. We are increasingly required to rely on our own moral instincts, resources, and logic filters.

The single greatest policy failure of my beloved party #shame #auspol youtube.com/watch?v=GDhl...

Musk is insane. Even with the most advanced shielding, radiation would kill people on Mars in under 4 years. Gravitational effects would severely affect the body structure and function. Adaptation, reproduction and "evolution" are a total helucidation. ...but if money = power, insanity is irrelevant

I could not have said it better!!!❤️💯

Whichever party put it there should lose their votes for that polling location. Fines are not enough of a deterrent.

Just read yet another novel where the author started well, but the ending felt like a rushed race to tie the threads together haphazardly to meet a publishing deadline, page count or from fatigue with the story-line. Most disappointing. Would have been better if the ending had been drafted first.

Big deal. "The Government has secured over 450 million litres of additional diesel and 100 million litres of additional jet fuel to make sure Australians have the fuel they need." Australia consumes approximately 630 million litres of diesel and over 190 million litres of jet fuel per week. 😕

I just wanted to say... youtu.be/ZneH1O5Ymzo?...

I feel absolutely certain that not a single $ of the $750million Israeli hasbara fund has any influence at all on our media, journalists, politicians, judiciary and "influencers", whos moral sense ensures that they report and act absolutely objectively based on known evidence and facts. /sarc

I think all the time about how Nazi Germany needed to be put down violently and at great cost whereas we could stop Israel just by turning off the tap of weapons and aid. And how every day we choose not to do that.

This goes beyond “crimes against humanity “. Way, way beyond……

Trump's "Trumphal Arch".

Japan has joined South Africa's icc icj case against Israel.

Since moving to the country, I miss the instant gratification of being able to complete a project in mind. Be it on-line, Bunnings or the butchery, it can be 1,2,3 4 or more weeks before your hearts desire arrives, by which time. You're over it and it's just another chore.

"we urge you to suspend Australia’s diplomatic relations with Israel until there is clear evidence of its compliance with international law and humanitarian standards...Steps have already been taken by Ireland, Spain and Italy." And end all weapons deals with Israel. johnmenadue.com/post/2026/04...

So many Americans in the comments, complaining about his "privilege", who don't seem to realise that (1) Sam Neill lives in New Zealand (2) New Zealand has universal healthcare (3) Healthcare in civilised countries is a right, not a privilege. Also: great news!

We hear a lot from and about the anti-semitism commissioner, but we also have anti-racism and anti-islamaphobia commissionioners. They need to get off their arse, earn their keep, and make themselves heard to counter the Israeli speech censorship and manipulation.
