@egilhagen.bsky.social You asked me about Australian weather! Heading for four days around forty degrees where we are in Melbourne. We only got over the last heatwave three days ago.

I’m so sorry.

Terrible news. I’m shocked looking on from Australia.

Listening to Jim Maxwell and Alan McGilvray’s grandson on ABC radio presenting the Alan McGilvray Medal for Cricketer of the Year to Pat Cummins….and what do we have on Channel 7? Filler. This is petty.

Bigotry. Dutton is like Pauline Hanson.

The Saturday Paper. Well worth a subscription.

RIP Michael Leunig and Mr Curly too.

Temperatures soar across the nation as heatwave continues A widespread heatwave has large parts of the country's interior expected to reach highs of above 40 degrees Celsius throughout the day on Monday.  See what's happening in your state.

We are frying here Downunder.

I never did get it. Four selfish characters all me me me.

Love that? Why not Big Bird? The Windies were a sensational side… calypso cricket and good looking blokes.

My other favourite hottie was Thomson. The crowd build up with his run up at the MCG was the best.

Here’s two for one.

Thought it was our Australian ABC for a moment. Not trash.

Reminds me of Dennis Lillie’s magnificent zapata moustache. He’s still a hunk! In fact when I think about it….all these cricket legends when I was in my twenties watching the Chappells and Rod Marsh. Botham.

Has it stopped raining at the GABBA? Which seems weird in this thread about the heat.

PS. Yesterday on ABC.

Not as yet.

That was an excellent program. 💗 Grand Designs. Loved her enthusiasm for trying to reduce her footprint and be self sustainable.

I am not sure about incinerator loos though...in terms of needing more power to run them than she had, thanks to the council not approving her solar panels.

Totally in agreement. Unnecesary to make an edict like that. They will catch the arsonists and let the law deal with them.

Meanwhile the tobacco wars firebombings are around the 120 mark… last month people above a convenience store nearly lost their lives. A bigger worry.

Two security guards and all calm. After a dreadful morning.

As a side note, a school bus owned by an Islamic school torched in Adelaide in a suspected terrorist attack and that barely made the news a day ago. It’s been almost forgotten already. It’s interesting how the cycle of news is reported.

Just listening to an American warning people not to travel to Australia. As awful as the firebombing of the synagogue was….in-laws family have lived down that street since the 1920s and still own a shop there. I don’t want to foster hysteria. We parked next to it later that day and went to dinner.

Live: Dutton declares he won't stand in front of Indigenous flag as PM The opposition leader has vowed to only display the Australian flag at press conferences if he's elected prime minister next year. Follow live.

Dutton doesn’t even hide his bigotry any more. We knew that well before The Voice.

Not here. I’d love him to migrate here. That was why I gave him full credit with the post.

From the talented David Rowe, cartoonist for the AFR.

ABC24 (Australia) had rolling coverage yesterday speaking to experts with some footage that they were able to access. It was comprehensive.

I had two carpel tunnels done for nothing. And a smashed ankle cost me zero all the way through till I got rid of the moon boot. I recently had an ultrasound and a CT scan for free. Pathology tests all free too.

The PBS. Most popular meds are on it.

www.pbs.gov.au/info/about-t...

Several countries in there like us in Australia, have universal health care. I don’t pay a cent for outpatients appointments with top specialists/public hospital surgery and my GP bulk bills. My medications are subsidised under our PBS scheme and I hit the Safety Net early in May so meds are free!

A classic case of FAFO. I don't care about the supermarket bottom line. I care about the workers in this case. You put people under constant pressure to compete against their colleagues with timekeeping/productivity....you increase their mental health issues. And we shoppers go elsewhere.
