If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

I know many of you may question why I amn't publishing articles today? A fair question to ask.
Being a journalist requires prioritising news. With a heatwave, fires everywhere, and resources stretched, other news will just have to wait.
Ya have to move shit up or down or off the bulletins.

This Model T has been in my (Maternal) family since it was built at Geelong in 1925. One of the first to roll of the production lines.
Still going today, 100 years later. My cousin uses it regularly. In Vic High Country.

How in the godforsaken fuck do we live in a world where deviants on Twitter can tell Grok to remove women’s and children’s clothing and neither Grok’s inventors nor those deviants are then charged with serious sexual crimes?

As a Black Saturday survivor (but who lives in the city today) my empathies rest with people in country areas.
All it takes is some dhead flicking a lit smoke out the car window, someone driving with a hot exhaust in long grass and within minutes your town is on fire.

Isn't this funny?
Today's Herald Sun has an article "Accused guard back at prison" that states: "If the allegations against (prison officer) against Ms Habicht were shared publicly, it might 'rock the boat' with some Indigenous inmates" (at Langi Kal Kal Prison).

Thank you kindly. I don't just write words. I stand behind and for every word I publish.
Don't want to stand by and up for your work, well, don't write and publish it.
Real journalists are agents of people, not power.
Stand up & be counted. Ask the late Father Bob's "cobbers."
