Good. Australian airlines will ban the use of portable power banks from next month following a string of international incidents, including a mid-air fire on a Virgin Australia flight in July. Devices must be within sight and can't be used or charged on board. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: President Donald Trump, Who Pardoned Convicted Seditious Conspirators After January 6, Calls for a Number of Military-Veteran Democratic Members of the House and Senate to Be Executed Simply for Reminding U.S. Soldiers That They Can Refuse Illegal Orders

NSW: Why everyone is getting sick in November. High flu cases are driving NSW emergency visits, with influenza up 33% in early Nov and 400 influenza-like illnesses presentations last week. COVID cases remain stable. “We’re hoping they’ll remain low over Christmas,” NSW Health’s Dr McAnulty said.🤦‍♂️

Can't blame them. "State and Territory leaders have launched a coordinated attack on the federal govt's handling of increasingly strained public hospital funding negotiations, declaring they cannot sacrifice hospital care to bolster the C'wlth's budget bottom line. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

For those of us not living under the Trump regime - the US President tried to shut down a female journalist by saying "Quiet, Piggy". What a deeply offensive and demeaning comment for anyone to make. Yet, this poor excuse for a human being is seemingly unstoppable. The world watches on in disgust.

300 more jobs (read, people) to go from the CSIRO. These cuts are on top of the 800 suppport roles already gone. Australia needs science innovation. And the CSIRO should have government funding certainty. You're losing us, @albomp.bsky.social. #auspol csirostaff.org.au/news/media/2...

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

ACT government has exercised an abundance of caution for the safety of our kids. The risk of asbestos contamination from these coloured sands is apparently low. But until it's sorted, 69 Canberra schools will be closed. Kids matter. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Here we have a factcheck of the claims made by Liberal and National Party MPs, to justify their abandonment for Australia to reach net zero emissions by 2050. LNP is officially a lost cause! And they're a downright embarrassment as an Opposition. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A must read. The LNP has massively misrepresented the costs of Labor's energy policy & has ignored the costs of their refusal to act on carbon reduction measures. Why? Because they are working for vested interests who only care about money & not the welfare of future generations. It's unforgivable.

What most women think and rarely say out loud... "A lot of men resent the fact that women have rights and have entitlements and have freedoms, and especially have economic freedoms that make them less dependent." www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Sociologically speaking, I find it fascinating how much shit the American people will accept and still believe posting on socials will change anything I yearn to turn on the news to see a million people surround the White House and demand the child rapist’s removal Big noise, small action society

Laura Tingle: "...there have been some significant shifts in Australia's international position - incl the decision to recognise Palestine... None of those changes happened because of Trump. Fair to say that at the least they have been done despite Trump. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Have a lovely weekend, you lot. ☺️

🧐 ACT Govt has launched another investigation into its fleet of Chinese-made Yutong electric buses - this time after reports from Europe suggested the vehicles cld theoretically be remotely “stopped or rendered inoperable” by the manufacturer. region.com.au/canberras-el...

Good on the Guardian for this. I'm astonished at how many journalists at other organisations don't seem to know this or think that it's important to mention. Coalition politicians keep claiming it's net zero causing rising costs without any pushback

The Faragists, backed by Gina, are about to trigger a full blast Australian fear campaign on net zero target and “mass” migration. Resolve polling indicates electors remain undecided on these political pressure points.

2 deg & late frost has trashed our zucchini, beans, basil , pumpkins, tomatoes are ok. So sad but we will start again, can’t miss summer veg. Ours is a tiny loss, I can’t imagine how sad for real farmers when weather ruins their crops. Look after our earth, it’s all connected #NATURE 🙏💙

France: "Wearing a mask is once again mandatory in Paris hospitals" "Faced with a rapid rise in respiratory infections, several hospitals in the Île-de-France region have decided to reinstate mandatory mask-wearing for healthcare workers, visitors, and patients over the age of 6." archive.li/ZeKtJ

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging. They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”. They raped them. Sex implies consent. The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

Wondering what Malcolm Turnbull thinks? Former Liberal PM Malcolm Turnbull says his party’s decision to dump a net zero emissions target shows it “does not take climate change seriously”, accusing the Opposition of “a Trumpian campaign against renewables.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Barnaby Joyce just went on television to congratulate the Liberals. That tells you all you need to know about the modern Liberal Party.

Did any trustworthy, impartial person actually see Epstein's body? Just askin'.

Anyone who has had Covid is a candidate for #LongCovid. Yes, you too. And with that comes a myriad of health symptoms. Significant allergies can be one of them. Covid is an insidious disease and, even if you're vaccinated, you are not magically immune. Be alert. You do not want Long Covid.

PM Albanese says it’s crazy that after two humiliating election defeats in a row where Labor smashed the Coalition, that the lesson they’ve learned is “that they need to be more right wing, more sceptical, more in denial about climate change”🔥 #auspol

Even Scott Morrison and Peter Dutton, a deeply weird pair of massive losers, adopted net zero policies. Because it is popular and because it makes sense in basically every way you could name. Imagine being more fucked than those two.

Liberals were already irrelevant and unelectable. And by tossing net zero out the window, it confirms that this may in fact be permanent. #auspol

In 2019 the EU banned the use of the insecticide, dimethoate, "citing concerns over risks to humans and to pollinators such as bees." In Australia, the APVMA "has ruled farmers must now wait at least 14 days after application before harvesting". 🤷‍♀️ www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Way too much coverage of the Liberals and net zero. #auspol

Excellent result. "Russia has lost its battle with the federal government over a site for a new embassy in Canberra.." #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Another way to say this is two thirds want net zero to stay - a healthy majority. Lead with that.

The lack of transparency abt Australia's arrangements w Nauru for asylum seekers is unacceptable. No-one should be digging around for details, requesting FOIs that then have large chunks redacted. We need full communication from our government, @tonyburkemp.bsky.social. You can do this. #auspol

“Barnaby Joyce's threats to leave the Nationals have put him into the headlines he so adores and helped end his party’s commitment to net zero. In the process, he’s possibly destroyed the Coalition.” | Tony Windsor satpa.pe/E8j0DQX

This deep pink rose is stunning in real life and is the size of my palm. The scent is lovely, although I appreciate not everyone enjoys a fragrant flower. ❤️ 😍 Yes, I was back at Old Parliament House in Canberra. So shot this picture while I was there. #BloomScrolling #TheDismissal

People's lives in the hands of incompetent dimwits. If you're going to shorten the airport runway, say by 1600 metres or whatever, advise the flight crew beforehand! Those passengers and crew had a lucky escape in 2023. Hard to believe this level of negligence occurs in Australia.

In a speech at Old Parliament House on Monday night, PM Albanese has said the dismissal of Gough Whitlam on 11 November 1975 was a "calculated plot, hatched by conservative forces", firing up a decades-long debate. There is no denying that. #auspol #TheDismissal www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

What the f*** is wrong with these vile men. 😠 "Canberra man Shegu Bobb, 27, was has been sentenced to three years and one month in jail after he was found guilty of sexual offences against an 11-year-old girl he met on a dating site." www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...
