Proud Australian lefty, living in Northern Rivers NSW . Retired,interested in politics, food, music ( bit stuck in a time zone) and news. Looking after my sick wife of 30 years so on a new journey that has many challenges, but it’s what I signed up for.
As an Australian I quite like Blue Sky as an alternative to X but how can I squeeze the algorithms so I get more Australian and less US news?

Whenever you hear injured in Gaza or any other war zone , remember that the tools of war are designed to kill, and if they don’t kill they maim, disable, or destroy someone’s life.
It’s not a bruise or cut!

Ive already voted so had access to how to vote cards.
In my electorate the greens preferenced the Labor party and the Labor party preferenced the greens.
Look at the LNP and they preference One Nation!

Go Albo. Stick the knife in spud, but he’s your best asset.

Trust Trump? Dutton is flailing .
April 16, 2025 at 10:43 AM
Global outlook! Indonesian nonsense.
Dutton is sweating.
April 16, 2025 at 10:37 AM
Dutton and climate change. Eeek.

Finally David Speers is getting bored with Duttons evasive answers.

Gawd Dutton is awful.
Albo isn’t great but no contest.

Is there any way to prioritise my feed to get Australian news/comments rather than American ones?
April 16, 2025 at 1:31 AM
Auspol.
Where can I find out where a candidates preferences are being allocated to, in my electorate?

Auspol ABC radio.
I think breakfast with Sally Sara is such an improvement on PK. They are at least using ABC journos as commentators instead of the woeful Phil Corey and Samantha Maiden.

I like Bluesky but I would like to focus on Australian questions, rather than my feed be flooded with US posts. Is there a way to change the bias of my feed? I’m not ignoring the disaster that is US politics but feel divorced from Australian news.

Australian Netflix review

Just watched 1st episode of American Primeval and it is grotesquely violent. Great photography, acting ok, not much of a script, butdark premise that somehow there is a dignity in this American history whereas it shows greed, corruption and lack of any compassion. No stars

Reading Rex Patrick’s posts, so it’s not my idea, but, why does any government state or fed, give any industry any money without demanding a share with voting rights? There could be a whole government dept set up to oversee investments are in the country’s interests and demand a return.

Just watched Love You on iView and found it a little soapy but really great. Tackled issues I'm going through, and I expect many others.
