The top half of the country is underwater. The bottom half is on fire. Can we talk about climate change yet?

Arsehat of the Year- Vote 1 Linda Reynolds www.crikey.com.au/2025/12/03/v...

“My precious”

Struggling to settle on a nominee for Crikey’s 20th anniversary of Arsehat of The Year? Join me in a slow clap for Linda Reynolds and ensure she gets the recognition she deserves. www.crikey.com.au/2025/11/25/a...

My chilling week on Roblox: sexually assaulted and shat on as a child avatar roaming the online world In seven days my young alter ego is cyberbullied and attacked while exploring clubs, casinos and horror games, all with parental controls in place. www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

Treaty, yeah!

Now here is somebody the world really should mourn Here is a woman deserving of all the accolades and all the glory and all the stars we have in our heavens One of the brightest, most compassionate, beautiful humans to ever walk our planet May you fly high O Captain, O glorious Captain ❤️ 🐒 ❤️

Thanks for the email, Çentrelink. Seems like your emails are coming from an office in Paris now, but I’m confident it’s not a scam because of the big green ‘VERIFIED’ stamp.

My dog ate something nasty, and there was malodorous Linda Reynolds all over the backyard.

Tedoo is the new Amway. Part way through reading an interesting post, bang! There it is. ” and that’s when I removed my own appendix having obtained all the tools and instructions I needed on the Tedoo App. Thanks #autoappendectomycommunity!”

If you’re mourning Meanjin, perhaps you could have a look at this tendril of a literary journal that has been started by some young people I know. www.varnishlit.com

I’ve had a real Linda Reynolds of a week, so TGIF.

The little Meanjin collection that I helped bring into the world as editor. Just a fragment of its 85-year catalogue. What an act of bone-stupid arrogance to kill it.

I've seen ABC refer to the Nazi rallies as "anti mass immigration rallies" over and over, exactly what Nazis want labelled as, legitimising them. In contrast, not once have I heard the Palestine rallies called anti-genocide or anti-colonial. I wonder what that's about 🙄

Appalling, appalling, shortsighted, penny pinching timidity…

I will do my very best to make Linda Reynolds’ name an insult of the worst kind. When vets empty impacted anal glands, they will say “Ugh. That was a real Linda Reynolds.”

“You defamed me! I’m not THAT type of rapist.”

As you contact the Australian Special Envoy for Combatting Antisemitism to express your concerns about the manner in which they're using your taxpayer funds, this statement from the Jewish Council might be useful (some other resources linked below might also be of interest)

#auspol #JCA #antisemitism #envoy "The report is riddled with misinformation about protests and universities that verge on conspiracy theory" " An emphasis on punitive control, straight out of Trump’s authoritarian playbook." Jewish Council of Australia www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2025/07/jewi...

The opening paragraph in Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal's Foreward ignores 65,000+ years of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander presence in Australia. Expunging a people's presence on the land, their culture and history? Deeply disturbing. #auspol #NAIDOC

Well, @qantas-official.bsky.social, I haven’t had official confirmation that my FF account was hacked, but the flood of emails urging action on overdue tolls, wayward Auspost parcels and bank account logins appears to confirm that it was. It seems the hackers are willing to pay their staff overtime

Well done Angus. Good Job. Fantastic

Heretical idea, but for-profit operators have no place in health, education, child care and aged care.

I’m loving the booth data. Fascinating to see 2 pp results varying so widely only a few kilometres apart. www.abc.net.au/news/electio...

Can someone do a welfare check on Gina Rinehart please. Gina's sphincter could be turning huge lumps of coal into diamonds as we speak causing untold pain, suffering and serious damage to her anus. Gracias. #auspol #AusVotes2025

MURDOCH LOST ANOTHER AUSTRALIAN ELECTION

Just got a message from a mate: “Can Peter Dutton get a ‘Goodbye From Country’?” 😂

Hey Canada! We put our elbows up! Love, Australia. #binnight

An election campaign that started in part with a focus around fighting antisemitism ending with "were the neo-nazis right in their heckling at Anzac Day?"

My mother saved this letter from Bob Hawke, because she understood what a significant and precious thing Medicare was.

Listen to Louise @milliganreports.bsky.social

Unbelievable.

The housing crisis is front of mind for many Australians right now and the Coalition’s plans to cut free TAFE will choke the supply of skilled workers and wipe out efforts to tackle this crisis. #DontRiskDutton #ausvotes #auspol

I wonder why Australia's transport emissions haven't returned to the pre-covid trend? Is it all WFH? If it is, then it's a nice way of quantifying the emissions benefit of that

Labor’s Cheaper Home Batteries policy has received near universal praise from industry, community groups and representatives from civil society. That’s because they know what this 30% discount will mean for bills . One group refuses to get on board though.

Do Australian voters know about Peter Dutton and Paladin when he was Home Affairs Minister? 🤔 #auspol #AusVotes25 #DicksonVotes #DumpDutton

Dutton today: “I’ve never done well at shares, which is why I probably followed my mum & dad’s advice to stick to property” Narrator: He's such an everyday, apple-pie sort of guy who's always failed with shares - except for that 1 time in Jan 09 when he randomly invested in 3 banks. #auspol

This was more satisfying than it should be.

Why do white supremacists fake tan?

Just leaving this here.

🤣 gotta love a good chess joke!

Yep, when you hear that mining is huge, remember they mean the profits are huge... The Hospitality industry pays more wages to Australians than does mining.

People still tend to think of gas as a vital industry to Australia, but the truth is, if anything, it costs the Australian economy. Throwback to Polly Hemming dropping some truth bombs on ABC The Drum 💣💥 #auspol

@nordacious.bsky.social, we need a Mariann Edgar Budde pic please.

If you're one of the 900,000 young people voting for the first time this election, know that Peter Dutton and the Coalition have never prioritised climate change and oppose Labor's 2030 CO2 reduction targets.
