Nobody in particular. Eclectic interests. Generally optimistic. Occasional flashes of humour too subtle for some (even me). But overall quite nice.

Q: How did these explosives get there? Do these devices just grow in Gaza's soil? Or did a military put them there?

The recognition of Palestine is a victory for the many Australians who have been calling for this, but will not end the genocide in Gaza. The Albanese Government must now sanction Israel for its criminal actions the way it has sanctioned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

There was such goodwill on the march, among all participants. The only danger came when the police ordered the march to stop (in the middle of a downpour) then much for people to turn around.

The huge Harbour Bridge march shows people have had a gutful of seeing starving children in Gaza. Politicians need to catch up | Anne Davies
Along with the horror of Gaza, there was palpable anger towards Chris Minns and, to a lesser extent, Anthony Albanese
The NSW premier, Chris Minns, risks going down in history as the most conservative premier of the modern era.
