Australia's Liberal Party (which is actually the conservative Party) just got smashed at a federal election. To fight back, they've appointed a leader who was sacked for rorting expenses and who changed the spelling of her name because a numerologist told her to.

I am so incredibly proud of my BFF, Brisbane artist and gallery owner, Deb Pettigrew.

She’s just produced these stunning artworks for Mother’s Day.

Good Egg Gallery, Samford, is open Sat-Sun 10-3.

Check out the gallery’s Facebook or Insta pages to see the range of art and gifts on offer.

ADHD mums freeze, panic—then feel the guilt

Before being diagnosed with ADHD, I used to find my kids’ tantrums & screaming unbearable.

After being diagnosed & medicated, I realised this was ADHD overwhelm.

Here is the latest in my trio of essays on Trumpet of Patriots. This third essay addresses the question you've all been asking:

"Why does Clive Palmer pour millions of dollars into political campaigns he knows he cannot win?"

The disdain Trumpet of Patriots’ Clive Palmer & party leader Suellen Wrightson hold for Australian voters is evidenced in the rogues they accept as political candidates.

I’ve looked, particularly, at Wide Bay candidate, Gabrial Pennicott.

Following my article on Suellen Wrightson, I have now looked into Gabrial Pennicott, Trumpet of Patriots candidate for Wide Bay.

Pennicott, is now a fundamentalist Christian and embraces the Kingdom/#7Mountains movement but has a very "colourful" past.

Suellen Wrightson is no Trump – but she’s exactly the kind of person who is swayed by propaganda, motivated by fear & self-interest, & inhibited by a lack of education & critical thinking skills. #AusVotes2025 #auspol

The oddly but aptly named Trump-pet of Parrots, er, Patriots, er, whatever is just another disruption mechanism from the oligarchy, using bog-standard folk who don't realise they're working against their own interests.

If you're wondering who the people standing for Palmer's latest, MAGA-fellating foray into Australian politics, @chrysstevenson.bsky.social does a great job at looking into their leader. #auspol
Who the hell is Trumpet of Patriots' Suellen Wrightson?

I did a deep dive. There are no skeletons in the closet. But I try to explain it's Ms Wrightson's "typical Aussie" ordinariness that makes her all at once vulnerable, relatable and ... dangerous.

I saw Wicked today.

Perhaps the biggest miracle was I sat through the whole 2:40 without having to pee!

The movie is perfect, but I didn’t get swept up in it emotionally as I expected. Perhaps it’s me.

It makes great social & political points, but I wonder if right-wing viewers will notice.
