A white-haired man playing a short, curved brown, wind instrument & wearing a long-sleeved dark brown top stands in front of a microphone and lectern, with a diagonally striped timber wall behind him.

Saw and heard from one of my favourite musos today – the multi-instrumentalist, multi-talented Michael Atherton, seen here playing some very obscure mediaeval instrument I've forgotten the name of.

A screen grab of Google News, showing the headline of the news*com*au story, which read, 'Six words that got protesters into trouble '. Apologies, I don't wish to send BlueSky readers to the Murdoch press.

At 09:00 this morning, news*com*au (Murdoch press) reported on the Brisbane woman who was arrested for wearing the 'River' singlet.

She faces a two-year jail term. Australia's democracy is in peril.

By 14:00 the editor at news*com*au deleted the entire story.

In the last 2 weeks the Western Australian Labor Party have signed contract after contract with USA and Israeli ogliarchs.
Massive multi billion dollar contracts and are courting Texan super frackers that decimated water in USAs midwest. ( see Flint)
