Look, as a Tasmanian who just survived Christmas Day 2025, I think it’s safe to say that even though Neil Finn wrote Four Seasons in One Day about Melbourne, if he’d lived in Tassie first it would’ve been a big hit for Split Enz.

Has anybody got experience with ceiling fan rebalancing kits?

I need them for a couple of our fans and I don't remotely trust any of the ones I have seen online to be spun around the ceiling at high speed for years on end without killing a family member.

I would love high quality recommendations.

Hey #auslaw peeps,
What are your favourite examples of consent judgments agreed to by Australian courts?
What are your *least* favourite examples?
Are there any notable consent judgments in employment law that someone screwed over by HR should know about?

- High temperatures inside tents, causing extreme sweating
- Confiscation of religious materials
- Denial of religious freedom or services
- Environmental hazards: heat, flooding, and disease-carrying insects

There urgently needs to be greater oversight and accountability.

How about that NACC?
Are we going to get to the election without them delivering a single successful corruption investigation?

Can anyone help clear up some confusion re the social media ban? Will my 8-year-old get to keep her existing SportsBet account? She’s sweating on a 20-leg multi and can NOT afford to be kicked out @albomp.bsky.social

When Suicide Prevention Australia is calling out your reckless legislating...

Just mulling over the social media age bans with @kathangus.bsky.social (midwife & parental support extraordinaire) and she made the point that teen parents will now be excluded from most online parent support groups as they tend to exist on Facebook and Tiktok.

The Electoral "reform" Bill is, tbh a crock that will lock in the major parties and squeeze independents and new entrants.

This is moving fast. Thank you.

Tasmanians. Be aware Tas Health has updated their alert to COVID - Moderate-increasing. They do not put it to Moderate until it's really quite prevalent and even at its highest never changed it to High. SO it's quite prevalent. Take care

apparently my name was used in vain on Q+A last night.

here’s a representation of political funding over the last political cycle.
