Every dollar that the Feds refuse to spend on their primary health, aged care and NDIS responsibilities leads to somewhere between $1.40 and $7.50 of expenditure required in the hospital system because of that $1.00 decision, depending upon the hospital. This is not new. We already know this.

Who says NSW coppers don't have a sense of humour? Guy shoots a person dead during a MH crisis, mistakes his Glock for a Tazer apparently, is cleared of all suspicion of idiocy, and then they make him head up a police MH training unit! 'Coz he knows all about it now. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Modern airports are confusing 😂😂😂

There's an 11year old girl sitting in adult cells in Perth lockup because she got caught shoplifting a drink and a pastry from Coles.worth less than $10

This is NSW Glencore mine. NSW peeps, they need more submissions to ensure Mod 8 dies a natural death.

Some astonishing details in here. It’s like reading a recipe for pure corruption.

like the head of the proud boys who accidentally shot his own eye out stupid.

COP30 could have been a zoom meeting. COP31 definitely should be a zoom meeting. #auspol

I’m doing one final work in progress show in St. Kilda on Nov 24! Cheap tickets. Come! www.trybooking.com/events/landi...

Something I wish got challenged more often in this “men in crisis” discourse is the blithe assumption (or sometimes outright assertion!) that everyone’s boss is a woman now. “Women now dominate white collar work and corporate management roles.” No they don’t. That just isn’t true.

Ah bugger. Another good one gone. Farewell to the hilarious, wise force of nature Todd Snider. Celebrating his too short life and art this morning with his Hard Working Americans — We’re All In This Together.

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

Never Ask A Woman, Her Age A Man, His Salary EIC Jeffrey Goldberg of the institutionally transphobic The Atlantic, what he did as a prison guard at Ktzi'ot Prison during the First Intifada.

The greatest country in the world? Not only is that demonstrably rubbish, it's precisely the insular, parochial, ill-educated and ignorant mindset that led to the US electing Trump. Twice. Trump is America's id.

"Americans are the only race which passed directly from barbarism to decadence without knowing civilization." -- Variously attributed.

USA, you have a problem.

Zero emissions coal Non-lethal F-35 parts No One Left Behind™ Our politicians just flat out lie to our faces now.

Anyone else noticed how Nazi rallies get the go-ahead fairly easily from state governments, then the horrified public reaction is weaponised to pass anti-protest laws, which are then used to quash anti-genocide dissent and justify police assaults on small brown women? You picking up on this, too??

That's just sick

Might one offer the current/temporary Opposition leader this observation by Bjelke-Petersen about running along a barbed wire fence with a foot on either side: ❝𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞.❞

An interesting observation from @ausconservation.bsky.social’s CEO on whether a regulator OR a politician should be the ultimate environmental approval decision maker - “it’s much harder to make a donation to a regulator than it is to make a donation to a politician”. #environment #auspol

“In our bold and brave quest to cut emissions, we’re planning to increase emissions in our bold and brave quest to cut emissions, so expect more emissions as we reduce our emissions…”

“We’re not gonna cut emissions but we’re gonna cut emissions,” Susssan Ley told reporters today. aapnews.aap.com.au/a/pZdBJCmJL

"ended up having sex" whoops however did that come about

I see the Liberal Party has invented “clean coal” again. It didn’t work last time. It won’t work this time. #auspol

Ya know, you could do something about the way certain segments of the population are talked about in the media...

The giant environment-destroying rape culture theft machine is attacking Australia too.

Every time Sheryl posts, my heart breaks a little. This time my heart broke a lot. Never forget 50 years ago, in Australia, rape was considered a property crime against the father/husband. Not a crime against the woman or girl. Husbands and fathers couldn’t, by law, rape their wives or daughters.

In 1999, a woman named Jessica Gonzales sought and obtained an order of protection against her physically abusive husband ("AH"), who had repeatedly threatened to kill her and their three children. The order included language specifically limiting when and where AH was allowed to see the children.

Advance now officially own the Liberal Party, and they didn’t need to spend a cent to take ownership. If only houses were this easy to buy…

#OtD 12 Nov 1956 Liverpool dockers refused to load a Soviet ship in protest at Soviet repression of the Hungarian uprising. The ship left empty a few days later. Hull dockers took similar action and Scottish miners passed a motion condemning the USSR stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1300...

The National Union of Journalists has called for worker representation & independent appointments to the BBC board, amid the fall-out from the BBC Panorama doc The union has also defended the integrity of its members at the BBC & demanded "sustainable funding to safeguard public service journalism"

Luckily Vyvyan was too old for the nonce formerly known as Prince Andrew. Although the top model was often Epstein’s lure. The intellectual part is spot on.

“We’ve finished our review into our election drubbing, and we have resolved to take productive steps to engage with the electorate on issues that matter to them. As such, we will abandon Net Zero, the Paris Accord, and shaft our first female leader. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

History. Alice Pepper becomes the first person from the First Peoples Assembly of Victoria to sign the Treaty.

Sir Peter Riddell, the former Commissioner for Public Appointments, speaking about standards in public life just now: "I had a rule...If something [I did] appeared in Private Eye, could I defend it?" If ministers adopted the "Private Eye principle, they might have avoided a few problems."

going to be awesome to be 15 years old in victoria, where you won't be allowed to watch youtube but will be allowed to go to prison for a thousand years

Australian politics nerds know that when a PM’s friends start to leak to the media that he will fight any attempt to replace him, it’s a good sign that his party is organising to replace him www.bbc.com/news/article...

Australia's mainland state capitals are ALL in the top 15 for cities worldwide with respect to housing unaffordability. There might be some discussion to be had on whether median or mean figures were used for this, but Australia has reached basket case level. These are not figures to be proud of.

Capitalism brain is when doing the work you're paid to do is "entitled" but expecting your young employees to do unpaid work and be enthusiastic about socialising with you in their free time is not "entitled", somehow

Talk about a cursed set of words

Liberal MPs want to ditch Abbott’s Paris Agreement and Morrison’s Net Zero policy because they are ‘too woke’. Imagine, Abbott and Morrison considered ‘too woke’ for the modern Liberal Party. Never vote for these people.

Can we please stop using the word “donations” to politicians. Let’s be honest. Santos paid blood money to your local MP.

Me as a therapist: is the room here in the butthole with us right now?

The only way to win is to do what keeps losing, because what just won can't win. At a certain point it stops being gaslight and starts being deadlight.
