How in the fuck do we live in a place where John Laws insisted female staff wore skirts & had bare legs yet our own PM @AlboMP this morning still called him a “legend” who was an “authentic voice of Australians” and who “built Australia up just as you guys [Kyle and Jackie] do”??? #NewsCorpse

#auspol I think we owe it to the nannas to turn up in yellow knitted bikinis for the protest

Oil and gas giant Inpex has admitted to srsly under-reporting its cancer-causing pollution (incl. benzene, sulphur dioxide & hydrogen sulphide) just days before a major oil spill at their Darwin gas plant. Inpex is a major gas exporter. Last year they paid no royalties and no resource tax! #auspol

One evening Max, next door's cat, pawed at our patio door to be let in. I opened it and he sauntered in looking annoyed, jumped on 'his' chair and curled up to snooze. Then i realised i could hear an alarm. Looked over the fence. They were out for the day, and their kitchen was on fire.

Labor and the Coalition are setting up a closed-door joint parliamentary Defence oversight committee that can receive secret testimony. Greens and independent MPs/senators will be excluded - no critical eyes welcome. Happy days for Defence and their $B in waste! #AUKUS #auspol

Incredible that we spent so long asking for a proper NACC and they're like 'we can do better than that, we can have a useless NACC but also a guy whose one job is investigating Paul Brereton conflicts of interest'

Hi everyone, I’ll be rambling on about Takayna for five minutes at the launch of this tomorrow, so feel free to pop along. bobbrown.org.au/event/art-fo...

I wonder why so many people are feeling aggrieved and becoming radicalised. Could it be the breathtaking wholesale betrayal of our values, while lying about it, on a daily basis?

Jolene would like to dedicate her #HedgewatchForAngie. Angie had such a beautiful life with loving humans. She had more time with their care than she probably would have with someone else. She was a brave fighter to the end. We will miss seeing Angie in her outfits.

Aussie friends: anyone know of any good advocacy groups that could help a young friend whose Centrelink payments have suddenly been cut by 1/3 for spurious reasons? He's in NSW, disabled, a Uni student and on AusStudy. I tried googling places, but don't know who to trust. #Centrelink #auspol

Gina Rinehart wins big on rare earths .... "The recent rare-earth deal between the US & Australian governments included a $100 million equity investment in Arafura Rare Earths, where Hancock is the largest shareholder" ... and much more! No wonder Gina was at Trump's Gatsby bash. #auspol

One day we will look back at the #MelbourneCup  and wonder why as a society we allowed glorious horses to be mistreated, exploited & abused just so we could gamble & get drunk. There’s no entertainment to be had in the suffering of animals. They deserve dignity & safety like us. #NupToTheCup

According to a medieval Irish legal text on cats called Catslechtae (Cat-Sections), if a cat is able to purr and to catch mice, it’s worth three cows and if it’s only able to purr, it’s worth one cow and a half.

#auspol How can we be be proud of ourselves when we treat our most vulnerable like this?

Happy First Gotcha Day, Flower! One year ago today, Flower finally went into the live humane trap. One of my friends called Flower my white whale. Flower lived in the house next door and was kicked out when the dog was taken for neglect and abuse. She was outside for six years (at least) before I…

We live on a property so the neighbours are a km or so away. A Muscovy duck has turned up and laid her eggs. Terrified that she will get eaten by a goanna or snake or dog. Put up on FB. Apparently it’s a neighbour’s. She won’t come and get it. Can I keep the duck (it’s so cute) or rehome it?
