"I didn't think anywhere in the world could experience the fear, desolation and distrust of others like Ukraine has, but then I went to regional NSW......"

I’ve just discovered that the BBC has some of my old documentaries - re-edited and served up on YouTube. Here’s a mash-up of my first landmark series on human evolution - The Incredible Human Journey - from 2008 but still holding up! youtu.be/1NWevQpcFIo?...

By some strange coincidence, following the ABC report, this dropped today too, & provides a longer & more-detailed account of neo-Nazi organising in AUS. www.theage.com.au/national/ric...

The Final Report of the People’s Inquiry into Campus Free Speech on Palestine is out now. The reports documents case after case of censorship, surveillance, discrimination, disciplinary action, and bureaucratic obstruction targeting students and staff engaged in pro-Palestine advocacy.

Oh poor diddums, there's literally a payout for transitioning into working after you lose your job as a parasite

"The billionaires themselves will argue that they have created jobs and boosted economic growth, but there is little evidence of this ... much of the wealth of Australia's billionaires comes from 'economic rents' — from things like mining and property development"

ABC fellas stop chumming with far-right domestic abusers challenge

Correction, Pickering was not on Avi Yemini's podcast, he just went out to the "protest" outside the ABC Melb building and allowing himself to be interview by Yemini (for no good reason). Problematic is treating Yemini with any credence. Absolute joke. www.smh.com.au/national/cha...

I too will pledge never to support the SA Government's legislation, and I will have exactly the same effect as these clowns www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

Grace Tame's hosting 4 podcast episodes of 'Ladies, We Need to Talk' on topic of neurodivergent women, called 'Autistic AF'. Shares her experiences, interviews experts and more... Bloody legend✊💜 t.co/EIl1Dzl9T2 #Auspol #Autism #Neurodivergence

Why the fuck is Charlie Pickering doing an interview with Avi Yemini where he is going at Grace Tame???

Patricia Karvelas said on the ABC Politics Now podcast yesterday that she believed Pauline Hanson could be PM. #auspol

Tone's gunna axe the tax. You heard it here first

Wow ABC, imagine how hard it is for normal people, if this person 2 years ago had to close their cafe whilst running 2 pubs at the same time, crazy! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

An FOI for how much this bribe cost the government

Wrong. Hughesy is all over it

You can read the whole deluded statement here, including where it highlights how Australia is racing to spend $8 billion of our money to build the US a nuclear submarine base off Perth by 2027 www.minister.defence.gov.au/statements/2...

All media hype and polls taken of a carefully selected demographic. Hanson claims to represent the average Australian, but the truth is a stark contrast.

Albo selling us out. Crikey. After months of kicking, screaming and ignoring our emails, the government finally admitted it’s in talks with the Trump administration to hand over Australians’ biometric data. But as Bernard Keane writes, even senators aren’t being told any details of the plan.

thinking about this a lot today

Ossoff: "While you pay more for everything, Donald Trump wants your tax dollars for what many are calling the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom."

But I thought there was a crisis of free speech at universities and students should hear opinions they don’t like? Oh silly me. This only applies to right wing opinions.

Country people: "We hate immigrants and vote for racists, why is everyone leaving the town?"

One Nation are racist, bigoted, & anti-science...facts that are all easily found online. They will trash this country like Trump has the U.S. Vote for One Nation & this is on you. There are sound choices for a fairer Australia, including independents and the Greens. www.smh.com.au/national/one...

Ah... Day 1 of Winter. I checked, and yes now it is the Winter of Discount Tents.

Genuinely fucking impressive demonstration of misleading/deceptive advertising by this Perth real estate agency www.realestate.com.au/property-hou...

Have I misunderstood or has Richard Marles just paid billions for some AUKUS submarines from the op-shop?

Oh COME THE FUCK ON

"While they have been self-represented for almost all of the legal matters, information released under FoI shows the NDIA has spent more than $330,000 on legal fees and expenses to fight the family on the most recent matter alone, briefing barristers and a King’s Counsel to represent them."

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

"Kos hates The Greens because they only talk about Gaza" This man bought you the nonsense last week around One Nation being in opposition, don't take him seriously

white people love to be named "bum farto"

RIP Marcia Lucas, whose skill as a film editor and storyteller made a clunky independent film called STAR WARS greater than the sum of its parts. Rightly referred to as "Lucas's secret weapon," Marcia had an uncanny talent to see a film from the perspective of an audience--and won an Oscar for it.

In fun news, the United Nations Environment Programme now has an AI chatbot: The ambitiously named EnvironmentGPT.

The paywall is in many ways a blessing

Sorry to hear about Jeff Bezos's rocket exploding prematurely. A good technique to prevent that from happening is to try thinking about something you find totally unarousing or even repulsive, like giving workers a living wage or paying a fair share of taxes.

Starbucks done EFFED up in Korea. Bad. May 18th just passed, Democratic Movement Day, when rose up after the military dictatorship sent tanks to mass-murder citizens. Some inappropriately call it "Tank Day." Starbucks commemorated Tank Day with a sale on tank tumblers. It gets much worse...

Last month, the NSW Government slashed gas exploration licence application fees from $50,000 to $1,000. Now, some everyday expenses cost more than what a multinational pays to explore for Australian gas. Ridiculous, right? ✍ Sign here to back a 25% gas export tax: https://theaus.in/4tjteKX

Codes of conduct for hiring PR people is too hard I take it?

I've obviously no idea why Mr Finkelstein's PR company has unique expertise on antisemitism, but am I right to think that he was working for Dominic Perrottet when (JAN 2023) Perrottet apologised for wearing Nazi fancy dress to his 21st? www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ma...

a big payday could be coming your way if you've got a chisel and a ladder

Australian companies should get taxed heavilty for every employee they move offshore.
