Here’s a plan to fully fund the NDIS, cancel AUKUS! That will free up $100 billion over the next decade to give people with disability the support they need.

I missed the reminders to renew my domain name rego so then lost my online ebook to a Russian betting site. So now I’m re- writing it with the Way Back Machine and chucking the new (hopefully improved!) iteration up on substack. Xero was a fucking legend! #punkjazz
A national address needs a national leader and a clear set of actions, this one had Albanese and a series of empty phrases workshopped through focus groups. What an empty man he is and what a hollow government.
Albo says the Australian way is to look out for each other. This is hard to reconcile with condoning genocide, walking past homeless people, keeping job seekers at half the poverty level, taking no constructive action against violence towards women, trying to kill NDIS etc

The song takes its title from the recent book of the same name by E Mark Windle available here: a-nickel-and-a-nail.myshopify.com/collections/...
In solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla which launches this week in a bid to break the Israeli naval blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, I've recorded a new song for Palestine

Three figures: Emmanuel Macron stands bold with hand aloft saying “We will recognise Palestine!” Kier Starmer with a finger slightly raised, says “We will recognise Palestine - unless Israel stops killing Palestinians.” Anthony Albanese with a finger barely raised says, “We’ll recognise Palestine when we’re ready (if there are any Palestinians left).”
Gestures.
My @smh @theage cartoon.
Smite narcissistic politicians
Al Jazeera Media Network urgently calls upon the journalistic community, press freedom organisations, and relevant legal bodies to take decisive action to halt the forced starvation and crimes against journalists and media professionals in Gaza.
Israel blocking aid from Gaza is creating ‘chaos and death’, say humanitarian groups

World war 3 how exciting! Wait... I'm being told it's not exciting at all. So whose fault is it then? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
BBC, and almost every other western legacy media news network.
With this weekend being the Bellingen Readers and Writers Festival, what better time to air a Local Global Show interview with boffwhalley.bsky.social (ex Chumbawamba) about his recently released (and hugely entertaining and educational) book “BUT…Life Isn’t Like That Is It?”
Two fab new releases on tonight’s Local Global Show on @2triplebfm - “new birth” from elizamarshall.bsky.social and “map of a blue city” by marcribot.bsky.social

How much coal would the French have to find under the Louvre to destroy it? How much gas would the UK need to find under Stonehenge to knock it down?
Australia must be the richest country in the world willing to destroy its ancient heritage for one more gas project #climate
