What a ridiculous question to ask! Haven't we given them more than enough already? #auspol

A fun fact from preparing for this weeks post that I forgot to include.

Penrith is 1st in the NRL this year for % of minutes played while leading. Tigers are 5th.

But who is second? (Even I was surprised by this one)

eg "One nation is rascist" or "Greens all talk no walk" etc are on the list then arrest them.

The #police have to interpret laws done in haste which are ambiguous on the spot. The major issues is the senior command and pollies who "react then engage what few brain cells they have.
#auspol

The ban is harder. Given resourcing the only real way to do it is use the banned word list to remove people shouting, wearing, referring to those words, terms, objects etc.
if they come back arrest them.

The #police on the street have their issues

Origin, Shell and Santos dominate almost the entire eastern market. Time to tax them 25% and introduce new laws that require them to prioritise Australian domestic customers. Up to now they’ve received a free pass to rort the Australian taxpayers for the CEO’s and companies financial benefit.

There are so many but this was a huge one for me

As a country we screwed the #pooch on protecting #Australia since the Milton Freedman madness infected the #political process in the 50's and 60's.
This covers #food prices, #food & #energy reserves, selling #public assets etc etc etc.
#Labor has been playing the same silly games as wel. #auspol

A photo of the Porta Nigra, a massive Roman city gate in Trier. Constructed of sandstone blocks, featuring two large cylindrical towers with multiple arched windows and passageways. The weathered structure stands prominently in a modern urban setting, surrounded by buildings. Sunlight casts shadows on the stone facade, highlighting its intricate details and imposing presence.

The Porta Nigra in Trier is the best preserved Roman city gate North of the Alps. It was built around 170 AD and converted into a church in the Middle Ages.
The Porta Nigra was restored to its original state in 1804 at Napoleon's behest.

I am loving that Victoria's property taxes are driving residential property vultures out of the state. Way more is needed to rid us of these predators, but it's a good sign that housing prices are already softening in this state.

Galileo explains Earthshine

'The Earth, with fair and grateful exchange, pays back to the Moon an illumination like that which it receives from the Moon nearly the whole time during the darkest gloom of night. '

When you lie down with #DickTators , spelling intentional, you get up with a bad taste in your mouth

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

a black cat is holding a big marijuana nug in its mouth. there's "syrup" dripping from the bud onto a flat surface, where a few bees are also having a taste.

happy 420 to those who rejoice 🤙🏽

I've lost the fabric of my mind by whining coaches of whom Ricky is one.
I agree changes can be detrimental to the game and agree the penalty in the 40 change should be reversed.
However as a fan I am more of a tragic with the changes

Consecutive play the balls for each of the four tries Melbourne conceded tonight - 9, 6, 9, 5

Um it lost brain cells working out SGI can keep blaming everyone other than the board.

I didn't like Flanno but .... the board decisiond were why I stopped supporting the #redv after 60 some years

Don’t let one loss sour the celebration of the Tigers' improvement - The Rugby League Eye Test I get it. The Wests Tigers lost a heartbreaking match to the defending premiers. They’ll never face Brisbane with a more favourable set of events. A home game on a Saturday night at a packed Campbellt...

Yes the Tigers lost on Saturday, but they've still shown dramatic improvement this season, especially in defense. This weeks post is a look at the numbers showing how Benji has shaped the team

List the banned words in a regulation that requires approval by say ICAC or the supreme Court to change.
Amend the crimes act to make using those words an offence. KISS applies in the law esp.
Those more interested in grandstanding will whine .
Both sides will want #freedomofSpeech

You know there's a fairly simple solution to @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social issues with protest laws being thrown out and the national issues around banning phrases that have come to mean something completely different to what they used to mean.

Got our solar panels installed this AM. They came at 8:30am and we're gone by 1:30pm. 13 panels and 10kwh battery.

We can't export to the grid yet (the network operator has been flooded with new requests) but we charged our car with the sun this afternoon. Great feeling, strongly recommend.

One Nation speed bump: Have we reached peak Pauline? One Nation’s primary vote has dipped to its lowest level since January in the latest Resolve Political Monitor.

The right wing nutjobery of blaming the #poornfir everything rather than fixing the problem is coming back to roost.
