Lest we forget… not just the soldiers, but the truth.
Lest we forget the cost of war.
Lest we forget that peace is something we must continue to fight for—not with weapons, but with honesty, justice, and compassion.

World War I—where the ANZAC legend began—was, in many ways, a war of empire, born of the squabbles of European monarchs and their imperial ambitions. A family feud among royals sent millions to their deaths. Our ancestors—ordinary people—were caught in the machinery of pride, greed, and nationalism.
But in honouring them, we must also reflect deeply on why they had to fight. We must be honest: war is almost never about the people. It is the ruling class that declares war, and it is the working class that bleeds for it.
Today we remember. We remember those who served—those who volunteered, and those who were forced to serve through conscription. We remember the lives lost, the trauma carried, the families broken, and the futures stolen.
Their courage, their endurance, and their sacrifice must never be forgotten.
That's a charge. Every day of the year. But in slow motion, maybe it looks a little different. Surely not enough to overturn that. #lakersvwolves
Surely Luka is getting a tech soon. #nba.
Well, that was fun. The roof is leaking again. Front area flooded. Saved the neighbours house from flooding. That's something.
Woken up this morning by a warning alarm at Rydges Australia Square. Then it was an evacuation alarm. I was about to leave the 15th floor room and head for the stairs. Then the alarm stopped. We had to guess for ourselves what to do for a few minutes, then get a false alarm message. No apology.
Do we want an Australian MAGA movement running our government? I don't think so. The Liberal Party loves Trump's America. I don't know who I'm voting for as of yet, but I know it's not The Liberal Party of Australia.
Protesting is fine. Protest outside Tesla dealerships or wherever you like. Don't destroy property. Don't set fire to cars. Don't stoop to their level. It plays right into their hands.
Yuki Tsunoda watching Lawson completely screw up qualifying... 🤯
Do you know what a wanker is? That's you. Piss off. Leave me alone. Over 62000 people have been killed in Gaza since the October 7th attack. Once again I say, Hamas is evil and they committed an act of war, but you cannot, as a civilised nation, allow that many innocent people to be killed.
Israel must conduct itself like a civilised nation if they desire to be treated as the victim. Carpet bombing the shit out of Gaza is not the actions of a civilised nation.
Good to know you value one human life as lesser than another. You're a hypocrite. Telling me to check in with one group whilst simultaneously telling me another group will be ok. My post is months old. What happened was a tragedy. Hamas is an evil group. However, Israel claims to be better than them
True. Let's not forget the Palestinian people. I can't though. They have no electricity to even charge their phones.
Fair points. I know there is an opposition in Israel, it just seems they get yelled down all the time.
Chatgpt has made proving conservative liars wrong so much easier. Their hand selected quotes lacking context and plain untruths disproved in a few clicks.
It's appeasement in the Oval Office. It's not Europe in the 1930s, but it's the same plan. Give Putin what he wants and hope he doesn't want more. The Holocaust was just the next step.
Please, professional sport only happens to the absolute best. A school selling dreams is a con! Get your kids quality coaching outside of school and give them a chance of success in multiple fields. #centralcoastnsw
I was actually thinking of your buttons when I posted it. I agree that we may not have been talking about it if it weren't so large and in your face. It's possible that I am wrong and also right at the same time?
I do believe it is possible to agree with Grace Tame'e sentiments and disagree with her location of her protest. I think a button badge would have been a better option. However, Murdoch's power over politics is disproportionate to the average influence of a the average 90 year old.
Australian politics, argh, what a mess. However, the fact that when the Liberal Party left inflation was going up, but now the ALP have seemingly gotten it under control. What will Dutton be outraged about instead?
The #ALP helped the Coalition in attempting to cover up the Sports Rorts affair. michaelwest.com.au/scott-morris...
Mannering Park feels like I'm in hell. So many bogans. All with their Chinese made flags.
Goodness me, the casual racists have been out strong this year.
What ever happened to black basketball shoes? The NBA really screwed the basketball referees of the world when they started letting players wear coloured shoes instead of black/white.
Rejoined twitter to call Elon Musk a Nazi. He's either a Nazi or he's dumb. Or both.
Was told yesterday I am easy to spot at the gym, due to my apparel choices. Apparently wearings compression wear under your clothes is weird. As is wearing a white, or any colour other than black. Lucky I'm there for me and not for anyone else!
The wealthy prosper, corporations get a free pass, and ordinary people are left to pick up the pieces. Maybe it’s time to stop blaming everyone else and take a hard look at who’s really driving the chaos.
The right loves to claim the world is broken, but let’s get real: they've held the reins of power for most of the last decade in both the US and Australia—except for the past 3 years here and 2 years there. If the system is failing, it’s because *they* designed it to.
