Mother to two Papillon pups and one geriatric Tonkinese cat. And a couple of humans. Keenly follows #auspol and US politics, which explains my current mental malaise. Dumbfounded by how truly horrid people can be for no reason. Just stop it!!

It’s difficult to describe the amount of sheer “they wouldn’t do this sort of thing now would they” hand waving in the NACC Robodebt findings

Israel Carries Out A Beach Massacre In Beirut

An Israeli strike reportedly targeted displaced people’s tents in the Ramla al-Bayda beach area. A huge number of dead & injured.

An outrageous war crime reminiscent of the massacres carried out in Gaza.

Also, petrol is not a stable fuel; should not be stored for extended periods (many months). (Diesel is ok.)

Indeed. "Sorry, ma'am, that you are in a physically threatening situation with a man, but all our units are currently busy arresting non-violent folk talking about a river."

Speaker Milton Dick not taking anyone’s nonsense today, seconds into the PM’s answer on fuel supply Dan Tehan stands up for a point of order, but Dick fires back, says it’s not happening.

Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.

See the problem here?

I’ll always trust the findings on Robodebt from Commissioner Catherine Holmes, who led a commission of integrity, who didn’t hold hearings in secret, over & above the findings of the NACC, led by Paul Brereton who works in the shadows with conflicts running through his veins.

"We don't have a shortage of supply. We have a glut of greed."

“According to the Australia Institute, around 30% of all gas exported from Australia is not needed to meet contract commitments.”

Great seeing @edhusicmp.bsky.social quoting our research in Parliament yesterday! 👏 #auspol

How US bases make Australia part of the Iran war Australia’s role in supporting the US-Israel war against Iran with the hosting of a string of US military bases across the country is a critical contribution to the US war machine.

Amy Remeikis. It’s become clear that Aust/US facilities are big part of Israel’s war/occupation machinery.

Jillian Segal’s aggressive moves to remove Aust free speech/protests are linked to Israel military needs. Aust has been occupied. #auspol

Four frames. Title: “The rules”. Albo and Penny Wong at a lectern. 1. Albo: “Some of you have asked if rules still apply, so we’d like to clear things up.” Wong: “Obviously we shouldn’t kill!” 2. Albo: “However, if you hurt or kill someone and enough people agree they were bad, then the rules aren’t up to us.” Wong: “It’s a ‘matter for them’” 3. Albo : “Also, if you get someone else to do the killing for you and someone accuses you of it, that’s ‘a conspiracy’” Wong: “Against the rules!” 4. Plus, if thousands of innocent people get killed when you kill the bad person, you must focus on the six people you saved.” Wong: “That’s the rule!”

I need to watch that on iView. Had ABC News on yesterday to watch it, and for some reason they didn't have this Press Club on the main news channel, which of course I didn't realise until it would have been half finished 😑

Or, and hear me out, the US and Israel could immediately halt their war of choice that has dragged the rest of the world into harm's way through their malignant narcissistic actions? 🤷‍♀️

You've justified, defended & been complicit in A FULL-SCALE GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE for around 29mths now, @australianlabor.bsky.social, but suddenly Labor MPs are "quietly alarmed"—what, their electorates are waking up that thanks to you, "Australia is at war with Iran"? Cry us a river to the sea.

Australian governments subsidising fossil fuel use by more than $30,000 a minute, analysis finds Australia Institute data finds state and federal subsidies for coal, gas and oil products increased 10% in past year, growing at a faster pace than funding to NDIS

Subsidising big polluters generating massive profits instead of raising the rate, putting dental into Medicare, or making education free. Make it make sense 😑 #auspol
