I would much prefer to be asleep right now

Need a theatrical release for award nominations...

We here are the Libs Nat's and ON screaming about the explosive device being thrown in WA

Excellent question #auspol

As a bushfire raged around them, a volunteer brigade made a plan to survive The volunteer brigade from Terip Terip went through "hell" and back, narrowly escaping death, while fighting to save their own community and those nearby.

“Eddy was angry at how much his brigade was asked to do with so little resources.”

Maybe @albomp.bsky.social would like to explain to Eddy & all of us why there’s > $300 billion for AUKUS but volunteer firefighters put their lives at risk with insufficient resources!

We should tear up AUKUS and expel all American service personnel immediately. The US government are actively undermining our national security

Tesla had the position that people would use the name "Tesla" to refer to any electric car. That has been pissed against the wall. Now even Teslas don't get called "Teslas", they just get called "Swasticars"
