In case you weren't aware, One Nation's health 'policy' is just 65 words (lol) with no costings and a vague promise to increase numbers of health professionals in the regions. How they plan to do that when they seem to want to stop immigration is beyond me 🤷‍♀️

How can something that seems so complex actually be quite simple?

Finally a journalist who had more balls than the entire press corps of the USA. It figures it would be a woman who we assume has no balls, which shows us that the so called "men" of the US press are capons, not roosters.

I promise you that, no matter how hard @jewishinsider.com tries, they will never convince anyone normal that Ms. Rachel is "controversial" to anyone normal. It's embarrassing.

One Nation 'abortion' policy based on lies, fake pics, medical ignorance, saying rice-grain-sized-cell-groups need same protection as toddlers, guided by men whose policies are literally killing girls & women all across the US south ...& the need to distract from its stupid housing policy disaster.

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami devastated communities where coastal mangrove forests had been removed. In contrast, islands still covered were well protected. Wild, natural ecosystems are not a luxury. They are the very bedrock of a habitable planet. share.google/5oQXv9s3WwLI...

You may, like most people, feel the USA has just sunk into some quicksand without any kind moral frameworks. A very fair feeling. Let this cogent, inarguable speech by Adam Smith bring you a modicum of hope.

Good morning Blue Sky

Man who received subsidised passage to settle in Aus &years later naturalised as an Australian so he could apply for a subsidised Rhodes scholarship …then renounced his UK citizenship in 1993 to stand for Aus Parliament whinges about people who have been here for thousands of years. 3 flags Tony!

I think it's important to put this is a large framework of understanding. Democracy, equal treatment under law, accessible education, a merit-based economy, prosperity, all produced a Black president and lots of empowered women -- and elite America said enough. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

Possibly the most frightening talent of the brown bear is an uncanny ability to blend seamlessly into the environment in an almost chameleon-like manner, allowing them to easily surprise their unsuspecting prey.

The degree to which the Envoy is compromised just balloons every day at this rate. Process trashed, mates looked after. Australia. You’re standing In It.

the bus. you've once again invented the bus.

14% of Lebanon being ruled out for Lebanon - by Israel. This is utterly unconscionable behaviour. Under International law…oh, OK. Never mind.

i doubt it was a lengthy battle eh

It broke my heart to see Morris Day & The Time here. How could a quality act play for Trump? Very happy to read that was a lie, and the band have denied involvement. So it's all awful largely fake acts top to bottom again. Phew!

Two SIFF suggestions (I distribute them). One is a glorious film titled SILENT FRIEND that will make you feel better about the world. The other stars Juliette Binoche and Tom Courtenay, and you will never forget QUEEN AT SEA. www.sff.org.au/program/even...

I've seen the David in Florence and stood before Guernica in Madrid. I caught Zero Mostel's Tevye and James Earl Jones in Fences. I've had the tasting menu at El Cellar, twice. But all of that was mere prelude to seeing Sonny Rollins close out jazzfest in New Orleans. God bless his immortal soul.

The golden ratio.

World braces for huge US-Iran update before Monday's opening markets - Season 2, Episode 6

Imagine missing your own son’s wedding so you could go surrender to Iran

Last week some of the wealthiest people in the country had tantrums because there’s small changes being made to the tax system. (Not enough in my opinion) while we have disabled people being thrown off the only support they have. While charities are running out of food for people.

Two things should be true in a democracy: 1. Being rich should not help you get elected. 2. Getting elected should not help you get rich. How’s your country doing on these criteria?

Tim Snyder continues to nail the power play. It doesn’t make you feel any better. But a little wiser - perhaps?

the foreign owned salmon industry in tasmania is now sending propaganda tea towels home with children in state public schools #politas

First, we denigrate, tariff, and threaten other countries. Next we deploy a thuggish state paramilitary force to arrest anyone they think looks foreign, frequently violating basic rights. Then we make travel a lot more expensive with a war of choice we can’t fix. Hey, why aren’t you coming here?

Outsmarted by < checks notes >….a coyote.

I’ll be damned. The Pulitzer board did it. Good on them

this is word for word what my last performance review said

The Bondi interim report has blindsided the LNP rejecting their claim that it was Albo’s fault, encouraging them to get onboard with a gun buyback scheme & blaming Israel & the US for having “increased the risk of attacks” in Australia with their unprovoked war on Iran.💥

Pollution levels in Paris after 10 years of advancing sustainable transport.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

Never ever imagined anyone else’s words outside of Pacino’s would be quoted from this film. Huge kudos.

God I love a murmuration - great salve in these awful days too - could never have imagined seeing one this epic!

The Iranians are saying “we’re not going to negotiate with a liar who changes his position every twelve hours”, and the Americans are like “we can’t stop him doing that”. So yes, it’s all going great for the global economy.

“From the liver to the brie,” one sign read. “Globalise the insalata,” read another. “Well played,” said one police officer. Well played indeed Queenslanders.

The similarities between the two are undeniable.

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

The same people who argue with climate scientists about who knows more about climate are naturally going to argue with the Pope about who knows more about Jesus.

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”

he showed up to a mostly empty auditorium, got heckled by anti war protesters opposing the war he just humiliatingly failed to negotiate an end to, erika kirk stood him up, and he tried to explain catholicism to the pope. the only way he could’ve had a worse time is if he pissed his pants up there.

Good gossip at the feeder today — photo thread 🧵 #birds

This is what Times Square will look like when Congress or a cheeseburger finally does its job

Say "weak on crime" again. I dare you.

A reminder to never upset the Iranian embassy.
