"the nation’s peak Muslim body, the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC), labelled Morrison’s remarks 'reckless, deeply offensive and profoundly dangerous'.” A description that also fits well with this buffoon's time as PM. #auspol

G’day.

With respect, affection and gratitude for an extraordinary leader and her lifetime of service www.croakey.org/with-respect...

I had a great time playing this. I'm in the trumpet section. I hope you enjoy watching it. If you do please share it youtu.be/rdcGEBk9egA?...

We couldn’t possibly change the date. It’s just not something we do.

I walked past this demonstration today. There was an overwhelmingly stupid number of police for a small protest. It was frightening and wrong. A gross overreaction - to prove what?

Been working g in the garden, and a black cockatoo turned up to munch on the banksia.

A bit of calm. Old man pelican, at the inlet. South Coast. NSW. Australia.

"conservative media simply refuses to identify the anti-Zionist Jews they are attacking as Jews themselves, because to do so easily pierces the antisemitism mirage they’re trying to erect over the mass graves of Palestinians."

Perfect. As always with David Rowe, check out the beautiful little details.

When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.

Noting today’s apology in the SMH, I feel it important to say that I stand with @cathywilcox.bsky.social & @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social #auspol Australian’s should be governed by Australian not foreign interests. All, irrespective of faith, have a right to free speech & protection from hate speech.

Grass roots. My @smh cartoon.

Just saw this. What utter bullshit. The Israel lobby are devoted to destroying the livelihoods of anyone who does not share their love of genocide. The SMH is a rag. www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw...

I am grateful to the Catholic family that invited the PM to attend the St Mary’s Cathedral funeral and who called for a ban on the Adler rifle let into the country by Tony Abbott and used to kill innocent Jews at Bondi.

Sunset. Sydney Harbour. Now.

By the way, it’s still happening www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/...

What should you be watching in 2026? Here's what the ABC's foreign correspondents think: www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01... And our political journalists: www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01... And our economics writers: www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

"albeit" is doing mammoth work in that NBC sentence. Even moreso had "regular airstrikes" been supplemented with the reality of the continuing denial of adequate life-supporting aid to Palestinians, and the arbitrary imposition of a new border on the open-air concentration camp that is Gaza.

"Between mid-October & the end of November, around 1.6m people – roughly 77% of the population analysed – faced crisis-level hunger (Phase 3) or worse. This included more than 500,000 people in emergency (Phase 4) and over 100,000 people in catastrophe (Phase 5)" news.un.org/en/story/202...

In Andrew Bolt's infamous 2018 "tidal wave of immigrants column", he specifically singled out Jewish communities as 'part of the problem' The idea that the far-right, anti-immigration parties and xenophobe media are going to protect the Aus Jewish community is absurd archive.ph/sDmhO#select...

I had to cut and cut again to remove Bad JB from the final copy

Never forget it took less than a day for the right-wing conservative forces in Australia politics and media to turn the Bondi massacre into their own political grandstanding in order to sew division. Contemptible.

Bondi politic. My @smh @theage cartoon.

This is quite pathetic. Not unexpected given the journo, but still.

Put it down. My @smh @theage cartoon.

"Comment after comment from members of the C-suite around the world (and even a best-selling author on the subject of workplace burnout) berated me for my leadership style and my apparently insufficient knowledge of Italian-American actors." www.capitalbrief.com/article/i-bu...

@ketanjoshi.co might appreciate this.

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

For me, Barnaby will be forever remembered as the bloke who couldn’t hold his drink, keep his pants on, or accept the science that spelled disaster for the people he swore to serve in the dust-choked margins of rural Australia.

Unfortunate juxtaposition in my feed this arvo.

Bloody hell. www.instagram.com/reel/DQWfDRe...

This is all so predictable and boring - so why does it keep happening? www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

This is from the Sydney Morning Herald re the kickback scheme in the Department of Transport www.smh.com.au/interactive/... And this is an extract from the NSW tender site. Precision Protection Barriers, publically named as having paid kickbacks wins a new $7.7m tender. What. A. Joke. #auspol

He’s at a rally about planning. *Apartments are woke.*

A statistic that concentrates the mind: In the first 6 months of 2025, China installed 250 GW of solar power capacity. This is around 150% of France's aggregate electricity production...

Sunny Saturday, I am charging my bike, my car, my watch and my phone. All from the solar. Don’t tell Barnaby.

Harbour is looking good today #Sydney

Got a visitor

Cockatoo in the wattle bush.

Bit of a storm here. Put the wind up the cockies. #Sydney Sound up.
