For some reason Australia's governments are simply to scared of the business lobby to encourage work from home. "think of the CB coffee shops!" WFH brings more $$ to urban and regional businesses, we now live rural and support or regional town thanks to WFH.. #AUSPOL.
So Trump is back to threatening war crimes by destroying Iran’s civilian infrastructure? This reckless moron needs to be removed from office. #25th
Hormuz open
I hope JD Vance comes to Australia to campaign for the Coalition and One Nation at the next federal election.

A small white EV is parked in the driveway, plugged in and charging.
Just got home and charging now ☀️😁
Welcome to the new world Dave, it does feel good to be driving literally on sunshine!
I'm a data scientist @ourworldindata.org and I need help from a botanist or someone local to Kyoto, Japan! 🌸
We present one of the world’s longest climate records: 1,200 years of peak cherry blossom dates in Kyoto.
The researcher who maintained it, Prof. Yasuyuki Aono, sadly passed away last year.
Well, whoever it is, you couldn’t blame them after their lovely under-the-couch den was boarded up
Certainly the Swan-Haberman article seemed to be all about JD saying “it wasn’t me”
La Tingle, demonstrating that Zelenskyy is turning into the anti-Trump: clever, persuasive, and strategic.
Yet again @albomp.bsky.social puts business and profit ahead of protecting lives and families. Your supposed gambling reforms are laughable. Truly pathetic. Shame on you!
Maybe giving this speech was a bad call. (And who wrote this mess?) Trump is clearly lost; admitting it to the rest of the world is a bad idea.

Albanese called it “the most significant reform on gambling that has ever been implemented”.
What he means is: “the most significant reform on gambling that the gambling lobby let me do"
Pathetic. And releasing this just before Good Friday shows he knows it.
Albo: all top, no iceberg. #auspol
I went for a Hyundai EV, partly because I know at least there’s plenty of established dealers/service centres, and supply chains from South Korea should be less subject to being affected by international events compared to other brands.
Yes, just like Star Wars
Yesterday I came across an article Leigh Sales wrote on Thursday when the ABC was on strike. It is one of the worst commentary pieces on Australian political-economic history I've read.
It was clear no one of quality was around to check her work or prevent it from being published. 1/13
The simplest toys are the best
A useful reminder: The media's ongoing amnesia regarding Pauline Hanson www.crikey.com.au/2025/12/19/p...
"writers and editors can remember that Hanson has been elected to parliament, but cannot retain anything she has done since." #auspol
Millions of people are carrying on their everyday lives, totally unaware of what's about to hit them.
If Trump blows up Iran's power stations, Iran will destroy energy infrastructure across the Gulf.
This would be one of the major "before-and-after" events of human history.
Yeah, I know how you feel, Finn
‘Trump is aiming for dictatorship’. That’s the verdict of the world’s most credible democracy watchdog | Martin Gelin
Better stock up on toilet paper before the fuel shortage impacts supermarket deliveries 🤪
And Mia only put her ears back for a second when Finn moved, & she relaxed again as soon as she realised he was moving away. Progress on both sides!
That’s the way I feel every morning, when I wait to hear the latest overnight news 😭
historical oil demand vs secnarios
On the second fossil fuel crisis of this decade (and likely to be worse than the last, fair to say), a few small thoughts
First: global oil demand would be so much lower without climate delay, fossil corruption, oversized SUVs, western overconsumption. Everyone who pushed these holds responsibility
