Maduro was a brutal ruler, it’s true. So is Putin—who Trump supports. So was Bolsonaro, who Trump supports. So was the drug-trafficking former head of Honduras, who Trump just pardoned. So is Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. MBS. Bibi.

Stop pretending Trump cares about illegitimacy or brutality.

If Andrew is a prince no more, why is Trump still president?

The NDIS does not increase “welfare dependency” (as asserted in today's AFR). It increases employment. Under the NDIS, labour force participation of people with disability (PWD) grew from 53% to 61%. For people without disability it barely changed. Unemployment for PWD declined from 10% to 7%.

Good morning
Woke is not an insult

Greetings from Tecoma. Good luck, mate! Be prepared for a David vs Goliath battle.

Sign the Petition Stop McDonald's from Opening in Northcote

High Street Northcote, Thornbury & Preston was named the coolest street in the world by Time Out last year.

This is because of its independent spirit, strong culture, and independent businesses.

The last thing High Street needs is a McDonalds.

The worst part about the #NDIS Is how inflexible and inhumane it is. It does not allow for the human experience. The amazing disability advocate

“Hi everyone, I just need to be clear my priority is revoking access as quickly as possible for this participant,” NDIA chief executive Rebecca Falkingham wrote to senior colleagues on June 7 last year. “All other issues are a second-order priority.”

Disabled people will not forgot this betrayal and we will hold them accountable at the ballot box.

Trump is mad at Biden for reappointing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who Trump nominated.

Don't let Donald know that the US Pope also holds Peruvian citizenship. He will arrest him and send him to Guantanamo.

Casey is still too close to call.

Too close to call.

I’m presenting BLB from 12-2pm @3rrrfm.bsky.social today playing LOADSA 2025 music and some Pere Ubu in tribute to the passing of David Thomas and also an interview with independent candidate for the seat of Casey Claire Ferres Miles

At least it's finally been announced as a marginal seat.

Desperado Dutton is trying to relaunch the No campaign, throwing Aboriginal people under a bus to try to win the election. This is a pathetic admission from Dutton that he has no vision, nothing positive to talk about, no solutions to problems. All he has is division, culture warring. Not a leader.

Dutton…..

Dutton going full racism this week. Gutter snipe.

Exclusive Brethren are secretly campaigning for Coalition The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church don’t vote but are sending hundreds of their people to hand out how-to-vote cards.

Nutters for Dutton.

Claire asked weeks ago for all candidates to band together for a fair and respectful election campaign. No one put their hand up.

Will your vote help others?

I also make the point here of observing that nowhere in the Respondent’s final submissions is any reference made to the circumstances as to why Mr Paul abruptly ceased giving his oral evidence. They also did not refer to his subsequent admission to hospital. I consider these to be serious omissions given the serious assertions in the closing submissions as to Mr Paul’s lack of credibility and evasiveness when giving his evidence.

Man various disabilities wins access to NDIS after being refused. He is hospitalised ~because~ of having to give evidence at tribunal, counsel for NDIS agency submit his evidence was unreliable and make no mention of the fact he was taken by ambulance to hospital. www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/view...
