Hey 💞

The right way to wholeness is made up, unfortunately, of fateful detours and wrong turnings. It is a 𝙡𝒐𝙣𝒈𝙞𝒔𝙨𝒊𝙢𝒂 𝒗𝙞𝒂, the longest way, not straight but snake like. - #CarlJung; art by @judithnangala.bsky.social

love to bring them to the off leash park so they can have some freedom and dog time 🥰

Pauline Hanson: I got given a 1.4 million dollar plane and got flown to dine on a mega yacht with Gina Rinehart One Nation voters: she’s one of us

Doesn't sound great, #Auspol Paraquat will continue to be used in Australia despite 70 countries banning weedkiller over Parkinson’s disease fears

My column: what is the median income for Australians. And what puts you in the top 10% @thepointau.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

I hate that this is not a proper bonfire. But a suburban rental demands safety 😾

“At The Australia Institute, we always say that we’re a rich country and we can afford to do everything we like, but we can’t afford to do everything that we’d like,” says co-CEO Leanne Minshull. ✍️ Sign the petition for a national plebiscite on a 25% gas export tax: https://theaus.in/3Qfbcfv

New Farm Park today 💫

WIP. I have never tried to sketch a cow/bull before despite being so very Taurean. Think I’ve made her face a little overly short and sweet with this attempt

Last night my dinner table was full of family, with English and Cantonese sprinkled together. That's not a problem to be fixed, it’s the best of this country. Pauline Hanson wants you scared of dinner tables like this so you never ask why her billionaire mates get richer while your rent goes up.

"The taxation statistics confirm that a tiny number of people are hoarding an enormous number of homes. They show that just 1% of taxpayers own 25% of all rental properties" writes @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social Read the full piece on The Point: thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

Today we were united in grilling KPMG over accusations of sharing confidential client information to rig audit tenders, using AI to cheat on internal exams, breaching audit independence & mistreating a whistleblower. How can the govt continue to justify using KPMG’s services?

A little punk rocker 😆 Actually, a baby eurasian coot at my local pond. From my back catalogue because the weather is still keeping me indoors.

The banner descended & the commentariat did what it does best: agreed with itself, instantly, at volume: “Oh noes! GetUp just gifted her the victim narrative she came for”. Mmmaybe. But then the mainstream media reads these things through the lens of, um, the mainstream media.

Unusual cloud front

Yup, along with 9 other weapons multinationals and 11 other corporations working for arms industry. More than a quarter of the National Press Club’s sponsors are part of the global arms industry or working on its behalf See my investigation from November undueinfluence.substack.com/p/arms-indus...

A few weeks ago we broke news Thales and the Australian gov are making explosives for the IDF. I assume you've noticed mainstream press hasn't followed this up? Anyway, I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything, but Thales is a sponsor of the National Press Club.

You already know enough. So do I. It is not knowledge we lack. What is missing is the courage to understand what we know and to draw conclusions. And then to act on them.

Cheers ☕️☕️ Choc level = stress level Can’t get the bad taste of National Press Club out yet .

So just to clarify, are migrants and children of migrants meant to leave Australia according to Poorlean? Because if that’s the case I lose my family. #Auspol.

Sequel time

Jumped in the car and went to Mt Crawford Forest today. I was all set up to look for fungi with my macro lens but, as soon as I got there, the little birds came to greet me and I was pleasantly distracted. I got lots of shots of this scarlet robin. #birdsseenin2026
