Guess she never was a cornflake girl…

Many of us in Australia have decided that USA is not a safe travel destination at this time. This is further evidence in support of that conclusion

I dreamed I saw Phil Ochs last night, as live as you & me,
Says I to Phil your 5 decades dead,
“I never died” says he,
“I never died” says he…

Prince, Leonard Cohen & Carrie Fisher will all be alive

I’m a bit parochial about our red bellies. They’re so beautiful & very sedate when you’re near them

Red belly?

Telephone books were an investigative tool used by Queensland police when interviewing persons of interest

Take care Cam, thinking of you

The Brazen Illegality of Trump’s Venezuela Operation A scholar of international law on the implications of the U.S. arrest of President Nicolás Maduro.

“The dangerous thing here is the idea that a President can just decide that a leader is not legitimate & then invade the country… If that were the case, that’s the end of international law, that’s the end of the UN charter, that’s the end of any kind of legal limits on the use of force.”
