Trump has been the worst president ever for farmers. Twice. But they voted for him three times. Now they want the rest of America to give them welfare. When they did it to themselves. But they don’t like socialism.

Sidenote: Did you know that the NACC employs over 200 people, spends over $50m per year, has 5 offices, and in over two years of operations hasn't landed a single major corruption finding?

Official petition to the 🇦🇺 govt: make part-time PhD students' stipends tax-exempt! www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/... Stipends are low but at least tax-exempt. Unless they go part time, then it becomes taxable. This disproportionately affects PhD students w/ care duties, health issues, young children..

MEDIA RELEASE: SA Premier spreads gas industry misinformation Premier Peter Malinauskas told an event sponsored by the gas lobby that a new gas project in Narrabri, NSW, is needed to firm up SA's electricity supply. Our research, using the government’s own data, proves this is simply not true.

Good.

It was very telling as well that when Seven chose to report on Trump's announcement, and offered alternative reasons, the first they listed was financial reasons through the NDIS Like even their "fact check" still propagated a false narrative

“Panadol Rapid has been proven to give autism twice as fast as regular Panadol,” warned Robert Kennedy Jr. theshovel.com.au/2025/09/23/w...

Just got charged extra for bringing a reusable coffee cup to a cafe. Remember when we were encouraged to bring our own cups by getting a discount? I’m querying it with the cafe because there was no signage about additional charges, but still.

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

This is it, but people are too gullible and mindless to realize it.

David Speers could be in Timbuktu or Kalamazoo for all I care. I'll be tuned into The Sunday Shot with @davemilbo.bsky.social and co.

@albomp.bsky.social Australians don't take kindly to being threatened. And even less kindly to arse licking toadying politicians. Fuck AUKUS. Fuck Pine Gap. FUCK US Troops on Australian Soil. CANCEL YOUR MEETING.

From today, JobSeeker will be indexed to $56.69 a day. That's 89 cents more - or what Labor calls "cost of living relief" 🫠 Claiming credit for an automatic inflation adjustment that keeps people in poverty tells you everything you need to know about the state of the ALP.

Patients pushed back to general respiratory and rehab clinics. Not great. Knowledge of long COVID in the general medical community is effectively zero. Most are busy pretending it’s 2019.

We need more Jasmines

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

AUKUS accurately summarised by @firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social

Privileged and honored to be speaking tonight at Wembley Arena at the Together for Palestine (@T4Plive) concert, alongside some big names from across the world, at 7pm UK time. You can watch live on YouTube. www.youtube.com/live/RWBVHFv...

Hey fellow romance authors

Again and again: free speech silenced at the behest of an organised pro-Israel lobby group by weak-kneed management. If people don’t stand up to this pressure there won’t be a single institution left in which anyone can talk about the genocide in Gaza.

No-one was MAKING staff go to this session. If anyone felt unsafe hearing about children’s health during war, they could have just …. chosen not to attend. It was obviously cancelled to ensure NO-ONE would talk about it.

Today's final approval of the North West Shelf is a climate, economic, and energy security disaster. Australia Institute analysis shows the 45-year expansion is equivalent to building 12 new coal power stations. @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

What is the actual fucking point of this government? One of the most significant majorities the lower house has ever seen, a complete rejection of LNP & its policies by so many people in so many electorates, a mandate to do good & secure the future of this country And this is the shit they serve?

Disgraceful. No govt that actually cares about climate change would do this. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Now the media is reporting that "significant progress" has been made on the negotiations and final approval could be imminent "subject to new conditions". What's different? Has the level of pollution that would damage the rock art changed?

Australia’s proposed FOI amendments add layers of secrecy, says Professor Gabrielle Appleby from UNSW Faculty of Law & Justice, and Head of Research for the Centre for Public Integrity www.governmentnews.com.au/foi-amendmen...

Age verification? I played MajorMUD on a BBS.

If genocide isn't your redline, then you have no redlines. The Sydney Harbour Bridge was closed temporarily as tens of thousands of Australians made their voices heard against Israel's genocide in Gaza. #FreePalestine #3E

Meanwhile in Australia – The government is invoking robodebt as a reason for its its FOI changes — but they’re literally the reverse of what the robodebt royal commission called for. www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/05/l...

New #FOI Bill an assault on Government transparency. With Scott Morrison at least you knew he was being secret. With Anthony Albanese, it’s worse, because he likes to portray himself as transparent, but he’s not. #auspol

I feel like what publishers took away from Baldur’s Gate’s success is that every game needs to have like 5000 hours of content, instead of the much more valuable takeaway imo: you need to let players have sex with a demon lady and a man who turns into a bear

It’s not just some rich people paying less tax - big businesses are doing it too. The gas industry is a prime example with 9 out of 10 companies involved in Queensland gas exports paying no gas company tax. @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social #auspol

Couldn’t decide… so here’s both, dark + light ✨ #Fenris #Fenrisfanart #da2 #DragonAgefanart #FenrisDA

When I see a picture of a band with one masked member, or walk by a couple with a single masked partner, or see a group of friends with only one masked face, I feel disappointed and saddened I feel frustrated and angry, which I imagine is also how those solitary maskers feel.

I can see a lot of you are wondering what to do now the major parties are showing themselves to be different sides of the same coin The community independents movement is holding its annual online convention today/tomorrow Join us here #auspol > www.communityindependentsproject.org/convention-2...

Nobody is “grooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people ARE grooming them to be Nazis.

Now we have toddlers with long COVID! www.iflscience.com/first-of-its...

In Melbourne, neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell was welcomed to the March for Australia stage, where he told the crowd how "his men" had led the march. He later led a large group of "his men" to violently attack Camp Sovereignty, the Indigenous protest encampment in King's Domain

We have literal nazis on the streets and not a word from the tax payer funded anti-semitism envoy Jillian Segal. Maybe because they aren't students with Palestine flags protesting Israel's genocide. #auspol

This is why I call COVID an airborne heart attack virus. After my 2nd COVID infection, I started having heart pain while pushing my toddler in their stroller. Before I turned 40. I’m an ER doctor. I know what “heart pain” sounds like. It was terrifying to experience it so young.

Media outlets have been called out by the Australian Bureau of Statistics for inflating their data ahead of anti-immigration 'March for Australia' rallies. ~ Dr Abul Rizvi Media misuses migration statistics to promote anti-immigration rallies independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

And if you fear that you will now be at higher risk of death and complications because you cannot stay up to date on vaccines, please consider for a moment that that is the burden you’ve been happy to put on disabled and vulnerable people for several years.

If you are angry, as you should be, that restricting access to the vaccine will make covid worse and more dangerous, please start wearing a mask, which actually does a significantly better job of preventing transmission in the first place.

Melatonin no longer available from iHerb in Australia. I use for menopause but thankfully just ordered enough for a year. But my sister is now back to expensive paediatrician appointments to source a script for expensive melatonin for her adhd kids.
