Outside Farrer Prepoll and Election Day Support This by-election is going to be a close race between One Nation and independent Michelle Milthorpe. Farrer is one of the largest electorates in the country, and we will likely have more than 90 pollin...

I just took action with @theactionnetwork.bsky.social: Outside Farrer Prepoll and Election Day Support. Take action here: actionnetwork.org/forms/prepol...

What gets me is that @albomp.bsky.social and his team KNOW this. They knew it all the time.

And did nothing to counter it. Just waffle and prevaricate.

It’s as if they WANT to be part of Israel, to be a vassal state to America, to cede all sovereignty to foreign governments.

Traitorous, imho.

When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.

Snap new Queensland ban on puberty blockers for transgender adolescents The Queensland health minister has issued a new directive to ban public doctors from prescribing puberty blockers to youths six hours after a Supreme Court overturned the January freeze.

Awful.

The Queensland Government is actively harming trans kids. #qldpol #aushealth #trans

Why is JD Vance skipping the 9/11 memorial service to instead give full military honors to non-veteran Charlie Kirk?

Gulf of Epstein

Would make a fabulous tea towel! Would buy several as Christmas presents (ever hopeful) 🙏

Del Monte Foods, maker of popular canned goods, files for bankruptcy The company, founded in 1886, said it was voluntarily initiating Chapter 11 proceedings, citing mounting debt, economic headwinds and consumer spending shifts.

Del Monte Foods, the nearly 140-year-old company whose canned fruits and vegetables have long been grocery store staples, has filed for bankruptcy as it grapples with mounting debt, post-pandemic headwinds and shifts in consumer spending.

Ooooh, he was sooo pissed

Very, very sad.

The best thing the Labor government can do to look after Australians is to #RaiseTheRate of #JobSeeker. That they think any JobSeeker can celebrate poverty, destitution, entrenching disadvantage, exploitative work and abuse as good is delusional. No. I am not a happy Aussie at all. #auspol

Poor State Library of Qld: I hear it continued to stand strong for their prize and its worthy winner, @wyld.bsky.social until they got a legally-binding, mandatory directive from the Arts Minister to rescind it. Terrible position to be in. Over to publishers: this book needs to be picked up now.

From A Balcony Over Jerusalem to A Bunker in Kyiv. Looking forward to session this Sun @SydWritersFest with @PeterGreste. I'll be on video from US. We'll discuss Trump's intriguing rel'ship with Putin & the reality in Gaza. "Bunker" tells the story of heroic Ukrainians & why Putin can never conquer.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

🤣🤣🤣

Incumbent member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters, said Senator Bridget McKenzie booed voters taking her how-to-vote cards during pre-poll voting in the Central Victorian seat of Bendigo.

McKenzie has not denied the allegation.

It would not be the worst thing in the world if Bluesky became known as the social media site people just hung out at and enjoyed themselves with

This is the best 100-day recap I’ve seen — and it begs the damn question:

Why is his approval rating still 39%? Are folks in a coma?

Karoline Leavitt’s Angry New Attack on Amazon Reveals Trump’s Weakness OK, so Amazon backed down on posting the cost of Trump’s tariffs. But the wildly disproportionate attack on the company from the White House press secretary actually exposed Trump’s deep vulnerabiliti...

If knee-bending Jeff Bezos and Amazon refuse to inform customers about Trump's tariffs, other companies should step in. Clearly label their added costs as TRUMP's tariffs. Slap Trump's name right on them. He's weak on this issue, not strong.

New piece from me:

UK coming around to the importance of incentivizing #whistleblowers for coming forward. Some people are uncertain about it, but the U.S. experience demonstrates clearly that payments to whistleblowers, who have a hard road and don't necessarily prevail, are returned to taxpayers many times over.

The ABC is a huge disappointment at times but it must be restored to being a truly independent media outlet ASAP.
Please make this a priority!

500,000 signatures for a Royal Commission into the media we ignore this term. Please don't let it happen again.

It was surprising and disappointing that the Liberal candidate for Kooyong failed to turn up to the local Friends of the ABC event this week.

It’s increasingly clear that the Liberal Party has less and less interest in a strong, independent media.

Andry José Hernández Romero

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 43 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Here comes the arrests of journalists now.

🤣🤣🤣
