Sorry ABC - 8m are not on "income support". My fact check for @thepointau.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/factchecks/2...

Convo I’ve had a few times this year with Kid: “you sure you want to spend 6-10 years training to be a aquaculturist / meteorologist / engineer, rather than just do a four year trade apprenticeship and earn decent money afterwards?”

Another interesting take ahead of the budget - be warned however - they also quote Tim Wilson, who, as you’d expect, has nothing of substance to add… www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

"Scathing". Tribunal rebukes govt over nuclear waste secrecy. A big win here for Transparency Warrior @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social and the public #auspol #AUKUS michaelwest.com.au/transparency...

Sydney ferries can be a bit pushy, case in point: The Manly Ferry photo bombs my clear cool dawn shot of the Opera House.

Oh, the hypocrisy. Returning Australian Islamic brides have been charged with entering a conflict zone! Meanwhile, Australian mercenaries returning from service in the Israel Defence Force after 'fighting' in Gaza are welcomed with open arms and are free to return to Israel for another tour. #auspol

Sir David Attenborough is 100 years old. But his most important message is that the Earth will be dead in less than 100 years if we don't stop Climate Change.

Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough Thank you for being a friend to all animals and for helping the world to cherish us x

Snowy 2.0 isn't just a project management failure, it's also a project accountability failure . Snowy Hydro's CEO, the Secretary of DCCEEW, and two ministers knew of the $40B blowout, they just weren't telling you - the person playing the bills. #auspol

Great book

'Dutch broadcaster ‌RTL said the ⁠woman ‌was a stewardess at Dutch airline ⁠KLM, ‌who had been in contact with ⁠a woman who ⁠died from a hantavirus infection in Johannesburg'. Extremely important to confirm whether the patient has hantavirus as soon as possible. www.rte.ie/news/2026/05...

Leftist Aussie bsky is a minuscule corner of the internet, slightly stale and often resembling an ouroboros of intra-group conga-line ass-sucking. Interesting to watch emerging anti-capitalist kids on TikTok develop their own content, style and flame wars completely oblivious to history repeating

Great book

OHHH FUCK RIGHT OFF.

Feed people. House people. Make people safe. Protect nature. Reduce waste. Reduce energy usage. What am I? An extremist. #Auspol.

Israel is occupying more of Lebanon than Russia is occupying of Ukraine. Israel is destroying every single building, ethnically cleansing the whole place so they can steal it for themselves. Not only is Europe silent on this, it is still sending weapons to make it happen.

Are you telling me that taking the profit for rich people out of the equation suddenly makes renting affordable? That’s crazy talk. #AusPol

We're seeing a massive uptick in false accusations of "antisemitism" in Australia against Jewish & non-Jewish people opposed to genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, unprovoked wars & illegal occupation, @albomp.bsky.social. Jobs are being lost, voices censured. Why are you ignoring this? #auspol

I’ve given in to the unstoppable, the cold of winter has put its icy fingers into the start of Sydney days and into my old body. This calm, cool scene is Rushcutters Bay.

Yesterday was a slower day but #Abla is back on boundary patrol this morning. She can hear the school bus coming.

neither here nor there but i keep hearing this dude’s name to the tune of 🎶Jason Derulo🎶 and that’s about the best to be said of his contributions, of which I have more to say here rick-morton.ghost.io/immoral-rear...

Rumours that the govt are about to to target family discretionary trusts in the Budget is a very good thing. My column www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

Sales of some of Australia’s most popular diesel utes and four-wheel drives have fallen sharply as the continued spike in fuel prices prompted by the conflict in Iran pushed electric vehicle purchases to another new monthly record in April.

#Abla had some fun this morning, teasing the ladies of the #CallissChookChateau with a dead spoggie that they thought was a mouse

I don’t understand how the Albanese government can morally justify keeping the jobseeker rate way below poverty level, when their economy requires that some people need to be unemployed bc “labour market”. I guess morality doesn’t come into it.

My husband and I were having an interesting conversation this morning in bed about the nature of Australia and how many people have moved to Australia to escape something or after having suffered some sort of trauma eg war, poverty. And…

Well no - she’s seen that the Trumpian technique of wearing her conflict of interest loud and proud leaves critics with no comeback. And normalises the corruption.

Hiding in plain sight. I love dawn light, it often delivers unexpected hues and is both unpredictable and uncontrollable.

Govt abandons Inland Rail project as its cost doubles to $45B, continues pouring $10B to US/UK shipyards for unlikely #AUKUS sub delivery, rejects $17B yearly gas tax revenue and continues Snowy 2.0 despite a 21x price increase to $42B #shambles 🤷‍♂️ #auspol
