David Speers should be f**king ashamed of the way he outright bullied and patronised Larissa Waters - who was answering questions in a totally honest, relevant manner - on #QandA this morning. What an arrogant prick. Honestly. @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @larissawaters.bsky.social #

Regardless of Erin Patterson’s guilt or innocence, Dr Chris Webster seems like an opportunistic narcissist that has been dying for his 15 min of fame these past few months. The misogyny & sensationalism in this case has been absolutely unrelenting. #ErinPatterson #MushroomTrial

Calling tonight’s Four Corners episode ‘Generation Cancer’ wasn’t in the slightest bit sensationalist or alarmist was it @abcaustralia.bsky.social ?? #FourCorners #ABCAustralia #4Corners

Does anyone know how the incredible Richard Scolyer @richardscolyer.bsky.social is doing? I noticed his socials have been quiet for the last fortnight or so. Thinking of him.

Is Rose Jackson a pre-programmed robot? If not, I’m currently finding her indistinguishable from one. No wonder NSW’s mental health system is in crisis. #FourCorners #4Corners #NSWPol #Auspol

@ajgardineresq.bsky.social Any idea what the heck is happening in Goldstein??!

If John Howard is ‘concerned’ about something or thinks it’s stupid, it’s almost certainly the right thing to do. #Auspol

OMG. -128 votes in it in #Goldstein after a full count of two-party preferred and first preferences. Now to the full distribution of preferences. Could this get any more suspenseful??! FARK! Come on @zoedaniel.bsky.social - we're all behind you!! #Auspol #AusVotes2025

It seems counting has resumed in #Goldstein. C'mon Zoe! Let's do this. www.abc.net.au/news/electio... #Auspol #AusVotes2025

So does anyone know if #Goldstein has been officially called for Tim Wilson? The margin has been sitting at 206 as of last Friday and I can't find anything anywhere that confirms he has officially been declared the winner? #Auspol #AusVotes2025 #AustraliaVotes2025

There's now 206 votes in it in #Goldstein at 4.37pm on Friday. Can someone please explain to me how there WON'T be a recount here? #Auspol

302 votes difference at 11.30am Thursday with the margin slimming every few hours. I think she's gonna do it! GO @zoedaniel.bsky.social - YOU GOT THIS!!! #Goldstein #AusVotes2025 www.abc.net.au/news/electio...

I've tried & tried & tried to stay on X in some capacity, driven by the desire to not let that platform fall to the Musk/Trump sycophants, but after seeing some of the toxic content on there today, I just can't do it anymore. Has anyone retired their X acct for good & not looked back?

Fun random fact: Erin Patterson of the ‘mushroom murders’ case is currently being held in the same detention facility - in the same high-security unit - as Malka Leifer of the child sex abuse case at the Adass Israel school in Melbourne. Oh to be a fly on THAT wall!

‘Welcome to Country ceremonies absolutely have a place in Australia but we, the white folk in charge of nearly all public institutions & govt, should get to determine when and where these take place’ says Georgina Downer, who isn’t a white supremacist at all. #QandA #Auspol

Honestly, #Election2025 really is a choice between the tepid/apathetic and the abominable. So deeply uninspired & bereft of hope. #4Corners #Auspol #AustraliaVotes #FourCorners

Epstein, Trump, Prince Andrew…the list goes on…did this. Entitled white men & their gargantuan egos & penchant for rape did this. This is what happens when you give up all hope of justice ever being served. ALL hope. RIP Virginia. You deserved so much better. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

All I can say is I hope Dutton’s apathy isn’t a sign that someone has bought the election result for him already. Absolutely nothing would surprise me, esp when old mate Gina’s in the mix. #Election2025 #Auspol

Can someone please explain to me where the ACTUAL F**K the Democratic leaders in the US are right now?? WHERE???? #Trump #Vance #Zelenskyy #Russia

If you're in Australia & want a genuinely ethical alternative to Airbnb, please consider booking your next short stay via heartful.travel, which I launched in late 2024. Our focus is on accessible and/or sustainable accommodation & our commission rate is just 7%, less than half that of Airbnb's.

When I first logged in to Facebook this morning, Trump was at the top of my feed. Honestly, f**k you Meta.

As far as I’m concerned the American Democratic Party is as responsible for Trump’s victory as he is. They almost certainly knew he cheated and did precisely ZERO about it. He said ‘jump!’, they said ‘how high?’. They believe in democracy in theory, just not in practice & now we’re all f**ked.

For anyone else in Australia whose mental health is super fragile right now due to a merciless genocide concluding, a convicted felon and rapist being inaugurated as US President and ‘Australia Day’ all occurring in the space of a single week, I see you. We got this.

Late night philosophising: If social media were a country, no one would want to live there.

Call me what you will, but I personally find this picture of the corpse of a man who was seriously injured by the IDF, hospitalised & then prematurely discharged from hospital only to die of hypothermia in his family’s tent infinitely more distressing than a bit of graffiti.

At least 10 minutes dedicated to ‘anti-Semitic’ graffiti in Sydney on ABC News this morn, but ZERO mention of the reported 300,000+ innocent people who continue to be slaughtered en masse in Gaza. Chris Minns standing there like a hyponotised puppet, towing the party line. Makes me ill.

Welcome to the USA 2025, a country that is LITERALLY ON FIRE & about to be stewarded by a climate-change-denying serial rapist & criminal. And did I mention the $8B worth of arms we’re about to send to Israel to help them violently murder thousands of innocent people? Enjoy! #California

So it seems those at the helm of private schools are no longer trying to hide what they really are, namely profit-driven businesses dressed up as ‘elite’ centres of education. Case in point: the current principal of my old high school proudly refers to himself as ‘Principal & Managing Director’.

In 2022, 1742 Australians died an alcohol-induced death & approx 3000 people ended their lives because of problem gambling. In the same year, 50 Australians died from misuse of paracetamol. Which issue do you think our utterly idiotic fed govt & TGA chooses to focus on??? #Auspol

2024 was a hot mess of wonderful, good, average, bad and awful. I’m gonna safely assume 2025 will be likewise. I’m starting to think that’s the key to being happy - or at the very least, content - actually. May 2025 bring you a similar degree of radical acceptance. Salut! #happynewyear

Carols by Candelight Australia - your annual reminder that the crack cocaine black market is still thriving down under. #Christmas2024

There @australia.theguardian.com - fixed it for you. And how a man gets only 20 years in prison (likely much less) for carefully orchestrating, comprehensively documenting and perpetrating 92 counts of rape by him and 72 others is utterly insane. Standing with you in solidarity #GiselePelicot

Kamala Harris’ kept mentioning in her campaign that she believed in ‘the promise of America.’ Right now, the only thing promised for America is total & utter fuckery, criminality, corruption & abuse. What I want to know is where is Kamala now? Why isn’t she fighting?

Watching the first episode of Queer Eye season 9. I miss Bobby.

FFS! The anti-Israel graffiti in Syd & the arson attack on the synagogue in Melb are of course deplorable acts, but they are not motivated by anti-semitism. They are actions borne out of TOTAL & UTTER frustration at our COMPLETE apathy as a nation to unequivocally condemn an UNRELENTING genocide.

Try telling this to any rusted-on ALP (or coalition) voter.

What do you do when you spill red wine on the carpet? Do what I do. Buy a new house. ….. Vale Maggie Tabberer.

The good people of America need to take a hard look at what the good people of Sth Korea just did in helping overthrow the Presidents martial law call. Instead, it’s like everyone with a soul has just rolled over & is playing dead. Where on earth is your fight??? So much is at stake!

This series should 100% be mandatory viewing for every Australian adult. Absolutely incredible, gripping, affecting television. I am still reeling from the conclusion. The Jury: Death on the Staircase streaming now on SBS On Demand www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-...

Pushed myself a bit too hard today. Chronic pain is a b**ch (and no, that’s not beach). Shout out to all my fellow CP sufferers who soldier on regardless of feeling like their bodies are shattering like glass!

ABC Melbourne Radio talking about Art and Music therapy being restricted or cut from the NDIS. Distressed people ringing in about the changes. The NDIS is going to hell in a handbasket. The NDIS Minister should resign. Oh wait.... 🤷‍♂️

Awoke to the news this morning that creative arts therapies - including music therapy which my 7yo home educated Autistic/ADHD son has benefitted SO profoundly from - are set to be cut from the NDIS. Please sign and share the below petition to stop this: www.change.org/p/creative-a...

Friends, I need your help. I have an acute dose of the blues. Mood very up & down, in a constant state of fight/flight & on edge. I’ve been like this since the US election result. The world seems to be going to shit. I’m on ADs & trying to do the right things. Any hot tips for feeling better?

Over on the other place tonight. People getting themselves in a hysterical stupor over a disturbingly wealthy bloody automotive company’s rebrand.

Has anyone read this? I’m no conspiracy theorist, but it seems HIGHLY plausible if not entirely certain that the US election result was due to multiple ‘bad actors’ infiltrating the digital voting infrastructure. Thoughts? freespeechforpeople.org/wp-content/u...

A woman is being killed in Australia every 3 days by violence of men Every 3 days Imagine having to sit with that reality as a woman As men we can’t be bystanders or silent Your response can’t just be “I’m one of the good ones. Why do you hate men.” Speak up. Act. Be an ally

Evening folks. I wouldn’t normally plug work stuff, but if you’re looking to book a local getaway in Aus soon, please consider booking via my recently launched startup, Heartful. Focused on sustainability & accessibility, we’re an ethical alternative to Airbnb. Visit heartful.travel for more.

Just an alleged sex predator and an alleged sex predator’s enabler out and about enjoying a couple of valvoline and cokes. #AlanJones

If Australia were America, Alan Jones would now be the perfect Prime Ministerial candidate. #Auspol

The world is really in a battle of ‘we’ vs ‘I’ at the moment, isn’t it?
