You’d think, in a country where a woman is killed, on average, once every week the epidemic of violence against women would take precedence over a slogan on a shirt. Just saying…🤬
At least two people have been arrested in Queensland for saying "from the river to the sea" today at a protest. I think we all knew this day was coming. A dark milestone in our homegrown authoritarian decline.
Australia has lost the plot. Don’t our police officers have better things to do? How about targeting organised crime, or the illicit tobacco industry, or DV, or drug dealers or …… but nah, they arrested peaceful pro Palestinian protestors.
Great. So if you write to BlueSky support about a violation of your intellectual property, they reply telling you to contact another email address, which replies telling you to contact BlueSky support.
Pathetic

Pathetic weasel words from someone I once admired #auspol
Larissa Waters asks Penny Wong if Australia is “at war”
Wong “we are engaged in collective self defence…”
Waters “Point of order on relevance, are we at war?”
Wong “I responded by being clear that we are engaged in collective self defence…”
Is that a yes? 🤔 #auspol
Private briefing to senators by Trump admin confirmed that it had no war aims in Iran, no exit strategy and hadn't even thought about the Strait of Hormuz or economic impacts. It's almost like they're a bunch of moronic man-babies playing with fire.
Yes me too - they are gold
I love that idea
I've noticed the male green frog hanging around my house looks unwell. I think it's a fungal issue. I looked up treatment today and apparently this can help. I ordered a bunch of cement blocks. I'll put them around the pond in the sun after drilling holes in them.

Time to put your big girl & big boy pants on Labor #auspol
Being "quietly alarmed" is what the moderate Liberals used to do all the time, right up until they all lost their seats. Grow a spine or don't bother.
Just as many “difficult” doctors

With the majority of voters in democratic countries bitterly opposed to the illegal, illegitimate and insane US-Israeli war on Iran, the big question is why do are all the Big Tent established political parties all on a unity ticket in supporting it?
Money money money & world domination
Single frame. Soccer field, five Iranian women players in motion, one kicking a goal which is flying past an Iranian Ayatollah goalkeeper.
Goal!
My @smh @theage cartoon.
Iran is called the greatest terrorist in the world.
But actually I think you will find the greatest terrorist in the world did this...
Who?
Serious issue for Labor
I’m not
Six frames. Woman talking to girl. 1. “Sunday was International Women’s Day - the one day of the year when women get to…” (girl looks excited) 2. “…be controlling and violent toward their partners,…” (girl looks less thrilled) 3. “…tell men what to wear and what they can do with their bodies,…” (girl looks a bit stunned) 4. “…make men feel unsafe and blame them if they get attacked,…” (girl looks uncomfortable) 5. “…and curtail men’s liberty and make laws that serve our own interests.” (Girl looks depressed) 6. “Because men deserve a day off.” (Girl looks seriously unconvinced.)
#IWD2026.
My @smh @theage cartoon.
Yes annually
More than 60% of Australian medical researchers left active research roles between 2019 & 2024 because they could not make ends meet - while my costings from the PBO suggest the govt could more than double annual spending from the MRFF without any effect on its base level of funding.
Some people just can’t handle power - he’s one of them - promoted way beyond his capacities #nswpol
Pretty clear measure of just how arrogantly self-assured the premier has become, that he happily drops this mid-conversation like it's business as usual
