Every being has the right to peace, food and shelter. No more wars. Australia is behaving like a Trump lapdog. Condemn US/Israel aggression. #SolidarityWithIran

Until 2022 anyone could request an urgent assessment. Then act was weakened to require Authorised person.Just call MH hotline and they'll take it from there.

#MentalHealthAssessment. Google.. then call mental health hotline for an urgent assessment when a man is screaming out at night or is exhibiting bizarre behaviours.Not hard but never done. Not the police.They will be called by mental health if needed.

Old enough to vividly recall the 50s earthquake in Adelaide.Windows rattling. Pendant lights swinging at 0300 or there abouts.All on the streets. Lotsa damage.

Residents around Adelaide have reported feeling an earthquake this morning, with one saying he heard a rumble when his potplants started shaking.

"If Wilson is genuinely concerned with fighting antisemitism, she should explain why her party has not ruled out doing preference deals with One Nation, which has run holocaust deniers for Parliament and has extensive links to neo-nazis and white supremacists.” 💥🎯👏👏👏 #springst #auspol

Jewish Council of Australia@jewishcouncilau.bsky.social

We condemn the political threats made by Opposition Leader Jess Wilson on Sunday and reject her misleading connection between protest of Israel’s genocide and the horrific Bondi attack. Protesting a livestreamed genocide is not antisemitic. Our release: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/10/jewi...

Politicians telling us to ‘turn down the temperature’ is peak hypocrisy, @amyremeikis.bsky.social writes. "Why is it the people pointing to the fire are those being told to stop being so vocal about it?" www.deepcutnews.com/p/politician...

We’re all wishing Helen Haines a speedy recovery. She is warm, committed, smart, respectful and one of the most effective champions of integrity in public life. She has already changed Parliament for the better more than anyone else.

Congratulations President Lula. Demonstrates you don’t need to capitulate to Trump’s intimidation, interference and aggression. Lessons for our politicians?

Just went to see NAZA. "My role was technical." "Just trust the system". Two awkward "I was just following orders" quotes with a strong Nazi vibe. Then some explicitly genocidal talk: "It's so insanely fun." Just horrific.

Are there ANY candidates in the upcoming Israeli elections who DON'T want to murder Palestinians and steal their land? It would appear that every single candidate supports genocide. It's not just Netanyahu. #Israel #IsraeliTerrorism #IsraeliWarCrimes #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

When Farrell says "I'm trying to put it in perspective, Senator Shoebridge", is he implying that Israel starving Palestinians is somehow justified because of how the Nazis treated Jews?? That's the only obscene 'logic' I can draw from his rambling rant. #GazaGenocide #auspol

stranger@strangerous.bsky.social

David Shoebridge asks Don Farrell if he’s aware the Sumud Flotilla was trying to provide aid to starving Palestinians. Farrell rambles, starts talking about a book he read on Hitler’s “shocking treatment of the Jews” Shoebridge “Minister I’ll draw you back to my question…” 🙄

I was in a grocery store about a week ago an older lady being served before me forgot her cane. I called to her, she didn’t hear. Without hesitation the young lady behind the counter ran around grabbed cane from me with huge smile on her face and ran after the lady to return it.

usa people don't generally seem to care that their country is war on earth, they just want to wave flags for the red team, or the blue team, and pretend the 2 sides aren't both evil.

Obama has a brass face attending rallies as an asset. Kill score huge.

Trump claimed he heard Obama's event in Michigan today was empty. Meanwhile, the venue was packed, lines stretched outside, and Obama even addressed an overflow room because everyone couldn't fit inside. Mercado Media

No fan of T...p but Obama presided over more killing with invasions etc incl. The Arab Spring. He is part of the US problem. Complicit with @trackaipac.com and coprorate money.

Greens: This is public land being handed to developers, and Greens believe it would be much better for VIC Govt to build genuinely public housing on these sites, rather than just leaving it up to developers to choose the mix of housing. And once we give public land away, we can never get it back.

"I'm proud of my record." Qld Crisafulli govt Minister Amanda Camm resigns citing personal vilification. She pledged reform but instigated DFV budget cuts. Children were found to be housed in government offices & 91 children known to child safety died last financial year. #qldpol

Most important read. I am a child of the Great Depression. Luckily my father worked for NSWGR. Retained work, paid one week in four. We ate a lot of rabbit. The Post War Long Boom is over, and the distribution of income is unfair. Can Albanese and Chalmers tell us how they'll help.

Please keep Halloween wildlife friendly.🙏 In Australia, Halloween coincides with breeding & nesting seasons. Fake spiderwebs can also entangle nestling & fledgling birds in the nest, leading to serious injury & even death. Please avoid using fake spiderwebs.🙏

less than 24 after the horrendous Helen Haines attack, almost all politicians and commentators across Australia have highlighted the violence in the rhetoric around public life and the dangers it represents - supporters and those leading right wing organisations should hang their heads in shame.

Parts of that drought area in inland South East Queensland just had nearly 100 mm overnight. In October. In the strongest El Niño ever recorded. Just sayin'.

Glen@gergyl.bsky.social

I'm playing it up. Winter-Spring has been pretty dry in some places. Was out west of Ipswich this week. Ground there is seriously parched, but farm dams still have plenty of water. So far it's short-term: www.bom.gov.au/climate/maps...
