The media continues to use the word "ceasefire" to describe what is absolutely and obviously not a ceasefire, in order to anchor its perception. Every such headline reinforces the fake narrative that a ceasefire exists, even if it's going "40 more people bombed by Israel during ceasefire"

#auspol pay attention, Tony Benn "The way a government treats refugees is very instructive because it shows how they would treat the rest of us if they could get away with it" what matters, is theyre treating PEOPLE like that, regardless of who they are

A lack of access to clean clothes and sheets led to high rates of heart disease in this outback Queensland town. But an Indigenous-led washing initiative is changing health outcomes in the region.

I forgot the thysanotis which @cdunnart.bsky.social is racemoides

My mum was in care when she fell and broke her thigh bone. The sensor mat had been disconnected, so she lay on the floor for hours before being found, and then for another couple of hours before ambulance crew arrived. I hope your elder is ok?

Farmers can you recommend a farm weather station? Recording wind, temp, rainfall, pressure and evaporation. I have a davis system that records daily from 12 to 12, rather than 9am to 9am. Thoughts?

Exactly ... Robert Reich's explanation of sham 'trickle down' economics. There is none. bsky.app/profile/rbre...

Lyn Alcock is known as the 'Numbat whisperer', spending hours every day observing and photographing the tiny, endangered marsupials, recording behaviours that have never been seen before.

The dismantling of Science in #Australia continues... I remember that hopes were high in 2022 that the new Labor Government would end the decade-long decline. We are now in the second #Albanese term, and things are worse than ever. ABC News article: www.abc.net.au/news/science... #PlantScience

🤣 Love it.

Pretty remarkable how high Australia sits on the scale for lifestyle carbon emissions globally - and how little this gets mentioned in domestic climate discourse. hotorcool.org/publications...

$350 billion for Aukus submarines but we can’t afford 350 research jobs

He’s not wrong, the former Science Minister* *In the same Party as the current one! (From Guardian Australia “live”)

Ed is so good

The Govt has declared domestic violence a national emergency - now we need an emergency response. One woman is killed every four days by a current or former partner. That is unacceptable Read the full article at: www.mamamia.com.au/zali-stegall...

The last time I wrote about this I copped the biggest whinge fest from the then (Labor) minister’s office about how they weren’t cutting the budget lol

This is obscene. The challenges facing the nation means we should be scaling up CSIRO, not cutting it to shreds. While we are sending billions to the US for nuclear shipyards, our science and industrial base at home is falling apart for lack of funds and direction.

True.

Any #pollinator visiting this Triggerplant will have far more to worry about than just being unexpectedly daubed with the plant’s pollen 🕷️ This Milky Flower Spider (Zygometis xanthogaster) is hoping for a tasty morsel #ausinverts #ozflora #wildoz #spider #arachnid #inaturalist #nature

Schrödinger's mouse?? 🐭🌿🌱 Currently there are four Australian species, plants & animals, listed as nationally extinct despite them all being recently rediscovered… which means these species get no protection under our environmental laws #auswildlife #wildoz #nature www.abc.net.au/news/science...

I don't trust anyone who doesn't consult their pets when making important life decisions.

One thing the soviet system got right was its emphasis on the virtue of education as an end in itself. In my view education should be a right freely available up to degree level purely because of the net social benefit of an educated citizenry. Populism is driven above all by the poorly educated.

Terrible twin pet sneaking a feed from Dot. Typically, this theft would be treated with savage contempt but Dot is so tolerant.

I'm feeling like a Scottish crofter, I've no idea who won the cup, but I've fed the chooks, milked and fed the goats, fed the sheep and cows, cut firewood in this weird spring/summer and now in drinking reef wine listening to Irish trad music.... viva Australia

25mm in the gauge and more on the way.

South Korea President Lee made sure there was symbolism for gifting a Silla dynasty crown. 👑 A dementia 🍊 fool on the world stage will be treated as such.

“Given that the low rate of income support payments keeps many families in poverty, reducing child poverty is not inherently complicated." A polite way of saying: the Albanese govt is choosing to keep a million kids in #poverty. That's a lot "left behind". #auspol thepoint.com.au/news/251031-...

Melb cup day looks like it could be interesting...

How many times do I have to say it, and how plainly? The US is no longer an ally, and is fast becoming a rogue state we will need to divorce ourselves entirely from.

RBA said market-sector jobs (those driven more by demand) had been the bulk of job growth in 2025... but the data says... errr wut? thepoint.com.au/news/251024-...

Can’t argue with that. Without getting the media landscape to stop serving up political propaganda, meant to deceive and stir up dissent, racism, othering, contrived culture wars, intended to get voters to vote against their own interests, democracy will wither and fascism will take its place.

Australia's CEO-to-worker pay ratio is about 50-1. However, forget trickle down, because most CEOs in Australia are trying their hardest to reach the US ratio before they retire.

Fox.isNOT.news It is angertainment and propaganda. #FoxIsNotNews

#FreePalestine I miss the many Palestinian journalists slaughtered by Israel. Their silenced voices make it unbearably hard to grasp Gaza’s reality. May they rest in peace, and may their killers, complicit in genocide, be investigated and prosecuted without delay.

While Israel acts surprised that Hamas can't find all of their dead "hostages", Palestinian corpses returned BY Israel tell a story: “There were also scars and discoloured patches of skin showing they had been beaten before being killed. …” #CrimesAgainstHumanity #Gaza
