The 'horrific' truth about the romance scammers targeting vulnerable Australians Behind the everyday scams targeting Australians, there are scores of vulnerable victims trafficked into the job.

No matter what it takes, be it the creation of a new Australian Federal Police unit, whose specific role is to investigate overseas based romance & crypto scams, the @albomp.bsky.social GOV has to "put up the money" to have the RIFF RAFF behind them ELIMINATED.

Hezbollah fires at Israel, citing truce breaches as ceasefire negotiations near The US will mediate another round of negotiations between the Israeli and Lebanese governments later this week.

#Hezbollah is illegitimate but RIGHT. #Israel & the #IDF are guilty in the worst manner of breaching the ceasefire with #Lebanon by carrying out systematic, unprovoked destruction of civilian dwellings, besides murdering unarmed civilians in COLD BLOOD.

Live: Iran says Trump's ceasefire extension a 'ploy to buy time' as Vance cancels Pakistan trip US President Donald Trump says he is extending the ceasefire with Iran. Follow live.

A very logical explanation for #Trump to "indefinitely" extend the ceasefire with #Iran despite the regime basically telling him to lump it & @jd-vance-1.bsky.social cancelling his "second" trip to #Islamabad, is that he knows that the US is simply running out of weapons.

#KyleSandilands is a loudmouth, sickening jackass. I think I have listened to only 10 minutes of him in my whole life. That was 10 minutes and 5 seconds too much. 😆😆.

Seriously, he is "noise pollution" on the radio. If you like him you have major issues.

King For A Day Blues YouTube video by Van Morrison - Topic

You got to give it to #VanMorrison, the notoriously grouchy and temperamental musical genius from Northern Ireland.

The man is 80 and he's still cranking out some really great music, this song KING FOR A DAY BLUES being off his latest 2026 album.

It swings and it's good fun.

It's a "catastrophic humanitarian disaster" in the making what the thousands of stranded sailors in the Persian gulf are facing, more and more by the day.

'Everyone is scared': Captain caught at the world's shipping chokepoint speaks out For months seafarers have been stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, tanker captain Raman Kapoor is speaking out about the fears and uncertainty of his crew.

The plight of thousands of seafarers who are "imprisoned" on their ship in the Persian gulf, trapped & threatened by being hit by a "stray missile, is becoming more diabolical by the day. STARVATION is a huge threat to them all. #Trump needs to stop being a FW & end the #Hormuz BLOCKADE @nbcnews.com

A $71bn rebuild and 77-year setback: A 'catastrophic' crisis in the Middle East The cost of rebuilding Gaza and the "catastrophic" human toll of war have been laid bare in a new report.

Exactly how the Zionists and their #Rothschild / #AIPAC masters planned it.

To turn #Gaza in its entirety into rubble and then turn into saviours and REBUILD it.

Because the only fraternity of people on earth who have $77 billion plus interest to reconstruct Gaza are Zionists and their bedfellows.

Iran warns it has 'new cards' if fighting resumes as Trump accuses Tehran of violating ceasefire The US president does not provide further details on the alleged breaches ahead of the ceasefire deal with Iran expiring on Wednesday.

It's pretty obvious to the WHOLE WORLD that both #Iran and the US have taken turns incessantly to violate what was a very flimsy ceasefire to begin with.

Both of their military's shenanigans to do with #Hormuz & the US blocking all Iranian ports is not exactly "honouring one.

Labor to tighten child NDIS eligibility to curb spending as Queensland MP warns change is ‘failing kids’ Health minister faces backlash from states as he announces major changes to scheme ahead of May budget

Fact is the #NDIS budget has to be reined in. It's sending Australia bankrupt.

So yes - lines have to be drawn in the sand and "much lesser on the scale" disabilities, including a myriad of mild to moderate "psychological conditions", including ADHD and autism in children, should get the NDIS chop.

'We are not leaving': Israel's plans in southern Lebanon spark concern Experts say Israel's continued presence in south Lebanon is creating a "bleak" future as it destroys villages in what it is calling a "buffer zone" and a "Forward Defense Line".

Who the actual fuck do the heads of the #IDF think they are to be telling "unarmed" Lebanese civilians that they cannot return to THEIR homes, THEIR VILLAGES, in THEIR "sovereign country", even with a ceasefire in place, so the IDF can destroy the lot?

Go fuck yourselves!

'Just do it and stop the crap': Ken Henry's blunt response to question of gas tax – video The former Treasury secretary Ken Henry offered his support for the proposal of a new gas tax during a parliamentary inquiry in Canberra examining the prospect.

What sort of fool is #KenHenry? To pilot the ridiculous idea to slap a 100% tax on the "profits", call them windfall or otherwise, that gas companies are making on Australian export gas?

When it's Australia's BEST LEVERAGE to get desperately needed fuel from Australia's gas buyers?

'We haven't learned anything': A looming 'crunch' for Australia's food system Australia's approach to fertiliser import disruptions means doubling down on a fragile, fracturing system, some experts say.

The BIGGEST threat imaginable to Australia posed by an ongoing Middle East conflict & closure of #Hormuz is a huge reduction in supplies of fertilizer for our farmers to GROW CROPS.

#Brunei' s commitment to supply Australia fertilizer is great but it will only equate to 20% of what Australia needs.

Live: Trump 'unlikely' to extend ceasefire deadline as Iranian negotiator says nation won't accept peace talks US President Donald Trump says he is unlikely to extend a ceasefire, set to expire on Wednesday night, US time. Follow live.

If #Trump is "unlikely" to extend the ceasefire with #Iran then he's "unlikely" to change course from making good on his totalitarian threats to target "civilian infrastructure" in #Iran, i.e the power grid and bridges.

Iran's "weapon suppliers" #Russia and #China won't remain "neutral' any longer.

Minns doubles down on ‘rational’ anti-protest law despite NSW’s highest court ruling it unconstitutional Greens criticise premier’s ‘extraordinary attack’ on judiciary and urge him to accept he ‘got it wrong’

If NSW's highest court has ruled that the Minns government's anti-protest laws are unconstitutional then I fail to see why #Queensland 's highest court shouldn't pass the same judgement on laws banning "from the river to the sea"& "globalise the intifada" from public expression.

Live: Iran says it has no plan for peace talks and will 'take action' over US ship attack Iranian officials accuse the US of "aggressive acts" and violating the ceasefire, saying there are no plans to attend peace talks being organised in Pakistan next week. Follow live.

#Iran might be bluffing about "taking action" over the attack on one of its cargo vessels which the US military "fired on" as it attempted to cross #Hormuz but it isn't bluffing about that there will be no Iranians turn up in #Pakistan for the next round of "peace talks". This war is just beginning.

Cash was meant to be dying. But new RBA data tells a different story Cash use ticked up for the first time since 2007 — and one in three Australians say they'd struggle without it, according to a survey.

CASH IS STILL KING.

NOT DIGITAL CURRENCY.

NOT BITCOIN/ CRYPTO.

The globalists who are hellbent on eliminating it must be "bitterly disappointed" that Australians increasingly are telling them where to shove their #CBDC.

The RBA in reality is NOT pro-cash.

@jimchalmers.bsky.social should really BEWARE of adopting "Keating's #CGT" regime in a short term act of desperation to raise tax revenue.

Reducing or abolishing altogether the discount on CGT would be like telling property investors and entrepreneurs to F off.

Israeli strikes kill four medics, targeting two rescue teams, Lebanese authorities say Lebanese authorities accused the Israeli military of deliberately targeting rescue workers.

The #IDF isn't looking into JACK SHIT @timesofisrael.com.

Just like it hasn't looked into NOTHING to do with corroborated "war crimes" perpetrated in #Lebanon (and #Gaza) by "Zionist thugs" since October 2023.

This constitutes a HEINOUS WAR CRIME.

Whatever your beliefs and religion (if applicable) are, if you have any belief in consequence and karma then you would be of the opinion that this #IDF soldier is a HUNK OF SHIT who's STEALING PRECIOUS OXYGEN.

Is that your view @timesofisrael.com?
