Australia must immediately withdraw from AUKUS! We cannot remain in a security arrangement with a country which attacks one of its neighbours without cause! This is even more reprehensible than Putin's attack on the Ukraine!

Sometimes it is really worth getting up early. Going to be a hot one today.

Some just hitched a ride with the colonisers. Hence Australia’s millions of Indian mynah birds.

My footling breech twins are happy successful 35-year-olds and I didn’t read this article, because I knew I wouldn’t be able to bear it.

I just smile when doctors tell me I should weigh less than I did when I was feeding two fat thriving babies.

Yep, sickest I have ever been. I fully breastfed a set of twins till they were two among my 8 years. Used to dream about being fully hydrated. Fed is best and it’s rarely easy for anyone all the time.

Hilarious for those millions of Australians and Canadians and New Zealanders with British -born grandparents who got TF outta there.

Saw jam and condiment dispensers in Dutch and Belgian hotels in September. One had small paper cups to collect the jam, one had edible cups like little ice cream cones. Butter was still in single use packs tho.

Australian here, and I grew up eating these every day. They also cook down beautifully into what we call stewed apple and you call applesauce β€” making a beautiful smooth purΓ©e with no effort at all. New season Grannies are the queen of apples.

We have compulsory 12% superannuation savings for all workers and it’s not that recent β€” I’m retired and it came in early in my working life, in 1992. As always the super wealthy have exploited the tax concessions outrageously.

Australia does and has for decades. Not saying it’s good and it certainly has its issues, but it happens.
