"Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has taken the unorthodox step of writing to United States Republicans to reassure the Congress members that a Coalition government would withdraw recognition of a Palestinian state" Here's another fuck you Sussan from. Me #auspol

If housing the homeless was declared a sport, the problem in Australia would be solved overnight. Unlimited funds would be made available. #homelessness

Genocide is a business, and political depravity is an economic sector. The raw material they both use is human life itself.

“Thousands of years after the formation of religions we are still much better at remembering fake scenes from the Bible which took place in the distant past, than acknowledging the modern biblical climate catastrophes and genocides taking place right here right now” open.substack.com/pub/georgets...

I was outside DFAT today with my mouth taped shut. I worked here as Australia's focal point for preventing genocide. Today I’m back. Not as a diplomat, but as an Aussie dad and citizen. Gaza is a genocide. Silence and acquiescence are complicity.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/silence...

Segal does not represent Jews Against the Occupation ’48 views and experience in any way. She is viewed as a special envoy to protect Israel’s interests, not to combat antisemitism. #auspolo #SpecialEnvoy #IsraelPalestine

Relatable. My @smh @theage cartoon.

The point about the Advance donation issue is the hypocrisy. Jillian Segal wants to police everyone’s speech while defending her husband’s right to fund an organisation that propagates racism. Her position is untenable.

Marla Singer in Bellerive Tasmania. This is a wrasse Scotch egg with seared lemon. The menu is delicious.

It's hard to focus on Israel's airstrikes in Lebanon due to Israel's invasion of Syria, which is hard to focus on due to Israel's atrocities in the West Bank, which are hard to focus on due to Israel's genocide in Gaza, which is hard to focus on due to Israel's war on Iran.

Dear Australia, She was about 20 feet from the officer, Holding a big blue microphone with a logo on it, Talking into a camera. YES! That officer did indeed intentionally target your reporter. www.huffpost.com/entry/austra...

In the extraordinarily unlikely circumstance that (1) I’d ever been nominated for an AO (2) actually accepted the nomination and (3) been given that award, I would be even more ashamed of myself to have the same award as that festering bag of shit Scott Morrison.

A very noisy juvenile a Grey Butcher Bird has been visiting. Such a character & very chatty.

Turbo chooks! Everyone loves turbo chooks! Especially the BABY ONES!!! omg so cute www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

You’d think that at some point a party of government might try identifying a problem with our society and working out a way of actually reducing that problem then explain it clearly. That would be a fine thing.

‘Leichhardt candidate Jeremy Neal suggested his own electorate, home to the Daintree Rainforest, Cape York and the Torres Strait, could be used as a nuclear waste dump’ 😵‍💫 Yep the LNP/Libs really are that clueless Vote for Dutton at your peril. www.queenslandconservation.org.au/lnp_candidat...

For someone who definitely isn’t obsessed with Donald Trump, Jacinta does go on about Donald Trump a fair bit.

Pademelon awake, he's been munching & sleeping most of the day, but it's evening & the lawn mowing starts now.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

A Grey Goshawk, but very white in this case. This Bird often stops by searching for a meal as there is chicken coop nearby. The bird can be seen slowly circling silently in this area hardly moving its wings. At times little birds will attack the Goshawk but it flexes slightly avoiding the attack.

Labor & Albo would rather amend environmental law & sideline their own Environment Minister (again) to favour a polluting, toxic industry owned by multi-nationals that pay sfa tax than ensure a healthy environment & the long-term survival of the Maugean skate www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Pademelon warming in the morning sun. Allowed to come & go as he pleases. He is fond of this spot & eats the grasses down. #Tasmania #Pademelon

In our meeting before spring break my colleague asked if anyone remembered how five years ago we left for break and didn’t come back, everyone laughed, and so I asked if anyone remembered our colleague who five years ago left and truly never came back, and the laughter ceased.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

Beaches covered in horrid toxic lumps? No its not english backpackers it's the salmon industry! ahaah www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Being a bit more of a locavore supporting some Amazing Brewers in Tasmania. Seven Sheds Brewery in Railton & @twometretall.bsky.social in Hayes. Outstanding. Tasmania is awful - Never come here.
