I have a good friend with MS. They look "normal" (whatever that is). Without NDIS they would be housebound and unable to support themselves. Maybe let's go after the profiteering and leave the vulnerable alone.
This fake ‘on special’ pricing yo-yo bullshit by supermarkets needs to be stopped.
If the can sell it at the ‘on special’ they can sell at that price all the time
Woolworths engaged in ‘marketing magic’ to trick customers, consumer watchdog tells court www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
"reciting or publicly displaying a prohibited expression that is reasonably expected to menace, harass or offend a member of the public" is legal gibberish.
Calling "from the river to the sea" hate speech is Orwellian doublespeak that protects no-one - except the Israel lobby. #qldpol

After 12 year in opposition the pathetic Victorian Liberals still can’t muster up polices so resort to what they know - lies and misinformation

Friday, Brisbane protesters sing & dance to John Farnham’s Two Strong Hearts - ‘River to the Sea’
Saturday, 20 arrested for saying the exact same words in a chant.
So if you wear a wig & dance you won’t be arrested. The inconsistency is utterly humiliating for David Crisafulli.
Single frame. Man standing in front of woman in wheelchair says: “Instead of complaining about the expensive nuclear subs we may never see, or our increasing expenditure on war machinery, maybe think about how properly funding YOUR NEEDS makes us LESS SAFE as a country…”
Priorities.

This is a national disgrace
The electors of Hungary turned out to have something in common with the electors of Warringah - a keen understanding that every opinion Tony Abbott has is, by definition, wrong.
Can’t we just send Tony Abbott with a suitcase full of shirtfronts?
The gambling lobby is gambling on no one caring out about this. It needs to be trumpeted at every opportunity. #Auspol #gamblingreform newshub.medianet.com.au/2026/02/alco...
It was David McBride who blew the whistle, triggering the Brereton report & laying the groundwork for Ben Roberts‑Smith’s charges.
The thanks he got was jail, while war criminals roamed free.
It’s about time Roberts-Smith is put away for good, but McBride must be released.
Great that this case will finally be prosecuted. Our usual reminder that it's now sub judice and everyone should stfu about it and let the process do its thing.
The only explanation for @albomp.bsky.social not dealing properly with the harm gambling advertising does (including, and especially to children) is that he’s hostage to vested interests. He lacks the courage and leadership to stop this trade in misery. #auspol
Anthony Albanese won’t even properly stand up to the gambling lobby, there is no chance he will stand up to the US President, Lachlan Murdoch or Netanyahu.
It gets worse from here unless the ALP wake up.
Yep. I have actually seen this first hand. Get a weekly foodstuffs basket, pay a minimal price with use by date for perishables one or two days after the pickup day.
Because they know it would be the absolute end of them if they bent on this. If only they carried that attitude to everything else and used this latest batshit fuckery of harm from Trump to say no to everything. The US alliance is actively against our interests and the AUKUS Iran attack proves it
Peta Murphy was serious about protecting young Australians from gambling industry harm. The government’s proposed reforms fail the Murphy test.

"What we are seeing is not a bold public health response but a cautious, politically palatable compromise."
Albanese has put the interests of the gambling industry, sports lobbies, and media above the interests of children.
The pre-Easter 'taking out the trash' timing shows the govt knows it.
Unimpressive, insignificant.
We waited more than 1000 days for this…
By leaving online advertising largely untouched, the government is putting big business ahead of the wellbeing of Australians. The government’s message is clear: industry profits take precedence over public safety.
One day, the wars overseas will be over; the generals will have collected another row of medals. When the dust has settled, where will the monument be built for the thousands of children killed and maimed?

Though economists debate whether the $20 per rabbit pricetag comes from supply chain shortages or Lindt price gouging, there is consensus that it’s infinitely better than eating the cheap shit.

Solidarity with Nordacious.
Ludicrous - and very troubling - that an artist has to seek legal counsel about their art.
Why are Australian news presenters referring to trump announcements made via his Truth social account? It’s not an official WH account, it’s his private account on his own SM platform. Ignore him until he starts being ‘presidential and lawful’. #USpol #auspol
Always worth a read.
Today marks 1,000 days since the Murphy Report was handed to the government. 31 recommendations, including a ban on gambling ads, and still no response. We know gambling harm fuels family violence. The government must act on the Murphy Report now. #AusPol #BanGamblingAds
