Is there an unspoken agreement amongst Airbnb owners that they just roll a dice and list a whole lot of random amenities at the properties they rent out and when you get there and these things don’t exist or are broken they just go, oh noes thanks for the feedback have a nice stay.

Sydney media types gleefully calling Dan Andrews an authoritarian tyrant, and then calmly acquiescing to *whatever this is*

Earlier this year, a Jewish Australian soldier in our army was stripped of his security clearance after he admitted he participated in these CSG training camps. He also said that CSG directed him to lie to ASIO about it to avoid further scrutiny of its activities. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"No organisation that preaches hate should have access to any government money under any circumstances," he said. So every religious school that vilifies LGBTQI+ people gets their funding completely cut off right? Right? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

I searched for Gaza on Insta. There is no genocide. This is where it’s all going.

Me when my first son was born: we will never have any gun-related toys in this house. Me today: guys there’s one rule - you never shoot at anyone’s head, body and legs only.

Made the mistake of asking my pharmacist why he works every day. Poor man is living on the edge. Sounds like an incredibly stressful job.

A whistle-blower has revealed that BBC presenters are under editorial instruction to protect Israel's reputation. I wonder if, here in Australia, presenters on our ABC have similar editorial instructions from senior management. 🤔 #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine #JournalismMatters

Data centres put on water restrictions first challenge.

How odd that I'm on the 9/SMH Idea Xchange mailing list where they do their reader polls and I didn't see this poll. Possibly because they know that, from past responses, they wouldn't get the response they wanted so they went somewhere else where they would. Dishonest. #AusPol

On Wednesday the Sydney Morning Herald published an opinion piece by Cumberland City councillor Ahmed Ouf about Muslim-Jewish solidarity in the wake of Bondi. The piece was quickly taken down. We're publishing it here in full. www.deepcutnews.com/p/ahmed-ouf-...

Israel normalized genocide as a weapon of war—and the world is already copying the playbook. In Sudan, mass extermination has spiraled out of control using the same tactics Israel deployed in Gaza. mondoweiss.net/2025/12/isra...

Respondents to the poll were asked whether the government should “ban pro-Palestine marches”. Not white supremacist marches, not pro-Nazi marches, not White Australia marches or anti-immigration marches. Just pro-Palestine marches.

If there was a world record for the fastest time from car to bed in pj’s with face cleaned and cup of tea/ chocolate in hand after a long day out of the house, I’d hold it.

Got an acupuncture Matt for Christmas that is like lying on nails. Just fell asleep on it. Pain is my relaxation jam.

I want to go back to Christmases past when the only outrage in the discourse was over whether we said Happy instead of Merry.

Aldi trolling us

ADHD is forgetting where you’ve hidden the kids’ Christmas presents when it comes time to wrap them.

Not unlike Murdoch, Albanese passed legislation to ban kiddies from social media to appease Murdoch and yet the whole Murdoch press is (almost) blaming Albanese for the Bondi massacre….. Albanese could give everything the Murdoch’s and Zionists wanted and it still wouldn’t be enough…..

My god how quickly we have capitulated. This is a man who was happily photographed signing bombs to be launched on Gaza. Pandering to this man does not help Australia’s Jewish community one bit.

‘None of us will ever safe until all are safe. None of us will ever be free until all are free. Literally.’ A beautiful piece …

If you’re going to bank camping spots over summer, at least have the decency to cancel the ones you don’t use.

An absolutely magnificent Freudian slip! 🤌🏼

We are obsessed with owning as much real estate as we can. “"During busy times we do see people looking to reserve inlets or parts of the foreshore for exclusive use by installing gazebos, inflatable pontoons and other structures before their visit.”

Olive grove by olive grove, sheep pasture by sheep pasture, village by village — over the past two years, Israeli settlers, often with Israeli military support, have escalated their unrelenting campaign to seize land and erase its Palestinian presence. Paywall free: nytimes.com/interactive/...

*stares wistfully over a field of barley whilst chewing on a stalk* Looks like king of MAGA is killing the heart of white American culture huh. *spits stalk out* Hate to see it. *rides into the sunset*

Remember, Ley & news.corp et al aren't talking to you, or even about you. They're screaming at each other & mistaking the echo as a response. Most Australians want to honour the victims, have stronger gun laws and to get on with their holidays in peace free of unhinged ranting (relatives excepted).

Sussan Ley, you shameful POS. To think you could make regular people come to the defence of Penny Wong in the year of our lord 2025. Absolutely grotesque display and when the dust has settled you will be left out in the cold for it.

Ten years since the conservative campaign to kill section 18C. Remember?

Yes, let's hear about gun laws from the person who thinks Port Arthur might have been a false flag op.

Ah yes. Eating oysters under a fake Eiffel Tower to avoid paying taxes. Living the consultant’s dream.

His wife must love this nonsense.

This is the shit we are pandering to.

This is so fucked up

One of the most unedifying weeks in Australian public life.

So as everyone kind of knew, when Chris Minns talked about cracking down on protests and gatherings, he really meant specifically pro-Palestine and anti-mass-murder protests: racist, white nationalist protests (probably attended by neo-nazi anti-semites) are completely fucking fine

Sending love and light to Jewish Australians tonight. 🕎

They’re not very good at this

While none of these are acceptable in any way, shape or form, it's remarkable how many have no clear ideological motive, or are enacted by petty criminals or neo-nazis. It's directly counter to the idea that pro-Palestine marches are their sole and major cause. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

These are the people who are willing to go on the record. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

No I think the consultants fees are really reasonable actually. Just covering costs I’m sure.

Yes, Fischer did all the hard work, Howard took all the credit. I also read recently that they were based on legislation proposed by Bob Brown for Tasmania. #auspol

My working theory is that if Port Arthur had happened at any other time in Howard’s leadership, he would not have done the gun laws. He did not enact what he said he would and resisted it for the rest of the time he was in power. And everyone followed

Perhaps Howard wants to be the only PM ever to have enacted tough gun laws. He can see his legacy slipping and he doesn’t like it.

Australians should be a lot angrier that because of petty politicking and the Israel lobby, we are losing the opportunity to improve our gun laws and make everybody safer. This is foreign interference and treason, and it’s infuriating and terrifying. #AusPol

Not just shonky AF (illegal?) but it gives Clinton an easy response now to any other mentions/photos

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.
