I shook hands with Kim Dae Jung and said hello to Louis Farrakhan on the same day. I sat at a table beside Tina Turner in a coffee shop at Coolangatta. Queen Elizabeth II stopped and said hello to me in 1973 when I was 12 years old.
Ok Bluesky, what are your most low key celebrity interactions? I once shared a lift with Tim Finn and put drinks in Bryan Brown and Rachel Ward’s fridge. My husband sold cheese to John Cleese and my mum delivered groceries to Gough Whitlam. Go!!

Maybe reliance on a couple of 250 year old documents, written by a bunch of oldish white men, for guidance on how to run a country is a problem. Particularly now that an old white man is ignoring the guidance #america

Migrants who breach values would be kicked out under Ley-era policy draft
A leaked copy of the Liberal Party's migration policy prepared before Sussan Ley was ousted included plans to "elevate" the current non-binding Australian values statement.

If the signals intelligence agencies of the "free" world brazenly harvested private data like Meta, X, etc do, there would be outrage and commissions of enquiry. It seems that it is okay because it is not the government spying on us. Weird. #surveillance #privacy #bigbrother

Albanese and Minns have delivered Israel exactly what they wanted. A riot that feeds Israel's narrative about anti-Semitism. If either respected Australia's values and allowed peaceful protest to proceed none of this would have happened. Both are Netanyahu's pasties. #auspol #herzogisamurderer

So, there you have it. One Nation will do to Australia what Trump has done to America. We have been warned. #auspol #onenation #paulinehanson
Thinking of voting One Nation? Here's what they'll do with your ballot
One Nation questions if man-made climate change is real, wants to wind back access to abortion care and plans to pay the HECS debts of doctors working in the regions.

Watch Netanyahu's Australian patsy, Albanese lap this up. Stand by for more oppression of speech and thought, especially that related to the idea of Palestinian statehood. Israel is a criminal state committing genocide. This statement has nothing to do with the Jewish faith or people. #gaza #israel
Unreal. Now he is threatening the world!
Benjamin Netanyahu:
“I demand that Western governments do what’s necessary, to fight antisemitism, and provide security and safety for Jews worldwide.”
“They would be well advised to heed our warnings. I demand action from them NOW.”

Australian governments prohibiting "from the river to the sea.." is not about anti-Semitism. It is about oppressing the quest for freedom of the Palestinian people, and promoting anti-Islam sentiment. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. #auspol #palestine #freespeech

It strikes me that this move is less about reducing anti-Semitism than it is about increasing state sponsored hostility towards Islam. When we have governments banning people voicing a desire for freedom and statehood we are in a bad place. #freespeech #islamophobia #auspol #fromtherivertothesea
