Whether it happens 6 hours from now, 6 days from now, 6 weeks from now, 6 months from now, or 6 years from now, it will be one of the largest worldwide celebrations in the history of the human race.

Kids may be more likely to get the new ‘Cicada’ variant of Covid-19, scientists say. Here’s what to know about BA.3.2 www.cnn.com/2026/04/02/h...

Suspend mutual obligations immediately! They are punitive and do not help the unemployed find work. It’s cruel and pointless. The money wasted on these bogus employment agencies could be spent in better ways, especially right now. I thought Aussies cared about people getting a fair go?!

Azelastine is marketed as Dymista and sold over-the-counter (no script required) in pharmacies in Australia for hay fever.

Australia has sent SAS troops into the Middle East while this awful and illegal US and Israeli War on Iran expands. How could the PM not have told the truth about this last night?

Everything is fine.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Paul Daley has got it right!

Labor won't cancel mutual obligations while they have the 'work for the dole' mentality to keep the general public appeased (we give you $ and you jump through hoops to keep it). The big winners are incompetent, lazy, greedy providers doing minimum work for maximum and multiple pay days. #auspol

It's clever how our politicians made Submarines the focus of AUKUS, instead of its ACTUAL purpose. Rather than the expansion of US bases across Australia and the servicing of the nuclear-armed US fleet here, all anyone ever wants to talk about is submarines which were never going to arrive. #AusPol

According to recent research “Prolonged AI use may make it harder to think critically and creatively,” so if you care about protecting your mind avoid using AI, and if you really care about protecting your mind you should also try to do what you can to avoid catching Covid.

A reminder that gas is NOT a vital industry to Australia – if anything, it COSTS the Australian economy. Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports could solve the gas crisis – and raise $17 billion every year. ✍ Sign the petition: https://theaus.in/4uTyGWX

“Let me remind you what fascism is. I need not wear a brown or green shirt. Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing people may use political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy to retain its power of exploitation & special privilege.” ~ Tommy Douglas

Your regular reminder: It’s not vaccines vs masks It’s vaccines AND masks AND clean air AND tests AND more

Australia’s gas resources belong to Australians, not the gas companies. A minimum 25% gas export tax is only fair. It means Australians get a return on the extraction of our resources and we can fund public programs for the benefit of all. 📷 Credit: Mike Bowers #auspol #politas

I fully support the teacher’s strike tomorrow. Jacinta Allan talks a big game but is refusing to give Victorian teachers the increased pay and better conditions they richly deserve. They are massively underpaid and undervalued.

For some reason "AI is just like watching Netflix" is back in my feeds so I took that as a sign to update my data tracking for Netflix. The company's energy use rose 1% from 2021 to 2024. Compare that to: Google: 71% Nvidia: 88% Meta: 96% Microsoft: 119%

Deepest apologies to @jessicacalarco.com

Not to be glib, but the fastest way to make renewables “economically viable” might be to make fossil fuels… unavailable. #IranWar

“the findings suggest that COVID-19 accelerates vascular ageing and could increase lifetime cardiovascular risk” everyone is ignoring this but we all know increasingly people in their 40s and early 50s are having heart attacks and strokes the likes of which we haven’t seen since the 1960s

Could the media stop with this bullshit? CPI adjustments to poverty payments are not a "cash boost" and it's a disgusting insult to say so. Try listening to people forced to live below the poverty line for a change instead of regurgitating Labor spin. (Fixed it for you, btw.)

The Gas industry now saying a 25% export tax would "stop investment in new gas supply, leading to gas shortfalls" Bullshit. Utter bullshit. 83% of Australia's gas is exported. THERE IS NO SHORTAGE

Remembering the ancient ways

As petrol and diesel prices surge following Donald Trump's war with Iran, now is not the time to remove incentives that encourage motorists to switch to electric vehicles.

“He used to rev the engine whenever he left the driveway. Now he just sort of rolls down the hill in neutral,” one neighbour said. theshovel.com.au/2026/03/18/d...

MAGA enthusiasts insist Trump knows what he is doing: “Oil prices are rising, international trade is under threat, people are dying and everything is getting worse. As usual, Trump has all of the leverage here." theshovel.com.au/2026/03/18/w...

🍊 says he doesn't need us. So END AUKUS NOW and give us back the money we gave you for the subs you're never going to give us. and WAKE UP ALBO and the rest of the sleepy Australian parliament!!!! The US is no longer our friend. #auspol

@betootaadvocate.bsky.social pretty much sums it up #warflation #auspol #rba

Do not use 1800 RESPECT. FOI reveals that “once a week, every week”, 1800 RESPECT is being subpoenaed, handing over confidential client notes and audio recordings of victim counselling sessions, to accused rapists and their legal teams. www.news.com.au/lifestyle/re...

#AusPol let's start bringing this up in the press conferences and Estimates. Tell Chalmers how many jobseekers he gets paid and make him justify it in those terms.

Unfortunately so true. Preventing bs may be more effective

I cannot reiterate enough with the frequency and gravity it deserves that every reinfection increases the cumulative risk of Long COVlD. Our PMC survey data (n>2,000) suggest it is rare to avoid LC after 5+ known infections. I'll talk more about that again Sunday night in Becky's Space.

This appalling war that Labor supports is unravelling into chaos as Trump now calls for a Coalition of the Unwilling to send warships. Australia must refuse and instead join with other nations, not to fight this illegal war, but to help end it.

I’m telling y’all we could use more of that energy on this side of the pond. Decorum doesn’t work with Republicans who are steamrolling norms and daring Dems to fight back. 📌 Australian Greens Senator Nick McKim accuses his own government of “complicity” in what he calls an “illegal US-led war.”

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

It hasn’t. It has succeeded beyond our wildest dreams and that’s why the blokey blokes are so hysterical about it!

when they claim AI will reduce workloads, remember that Dr Richard J Gatling invented the Gatling Gun in 1861 with the belief that because it could do the work of several soldiers, armies would get smaller and fewer people would die in war

“In all this talk about who was responsible and how this happened, are we just going to ignore the fact that girls were allowed to learn?” said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

"Edelson says his law firm receives one 'serious inquiry a day' from someone who has lost a family member to AI-induced delusions or is experiencing severe mental health issues of their own."

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. It does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz or any other geopolitical chokepoint.

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?
