Insanity. If @albomp.bsky.social did this with the PBS, even Angus Taylor could beat him at the next election.

VERY good article. #Epstein

I have a question for the men who had no questions about Epstein

By Julia Baird

Is the problem that the abuse of women just doesn't … matter much? Or that it doesn't seem that abnormal?
I have a question for the men who had no questions about Epstein
The millions of pages of documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have shone a light on how many influential men were ready to disregard the experiences of countless women.

15 people shot on Bondi Beach and the government introduced new legislation within days.
1 man killed by a king hit, government introduced new legislation within days.
2 or more women killed every week at the hands of partners or former partners and …. crickets.
Their priorities are wrong!

@australia.theguardian.com In your article today you omitted a significant part of the UK’s new rule for dual citizens. It also affects Irish Australians as well! See the Good Friday Agreement on travel! Also those from Nth Ireland who have dual cit with UK & Ireland can use either! Pls correct!

This 'Aussie Christmas tree' photo is doing the rounds again - usually without attribution.
It was taken by Layn Simpson of Gympie - in his backyard.
An excellent snap.
I have an invitation to visit next time I'm in Gympie so I'll look forward to that.
You can find Layn on Instagram. Worth a follow.

Why are electricity bills so high? The Coalition & fossil media say renewables. It's actually coal, gas and corporate profiteering. We look at the evidence

An Australian Human Rights Act would make our lives better by putting human rights at the heart of laws and government decisions.

Legislating Human Rights Acts from Whitlam to Now Report shows why the Albanese Government should make an Act a reality.

‘The philosopher Judith Butler and the Middle East historian Ussama Makdisi are perhaps the only two notified people who have spoken publicly about the email they received. Butler sees the silence of the others as a sign of fear.’

This mesmerizing video shows global ocean currents in motion using NASA’s ECCO model, which integrates decades of satellite, buoy, and sensor data. The Van Gogh-style swirls reveal complex currents that drive climate, ecosystems, and weather worldwide.
