The highly influential Donna Summer/Giorgio Moroder’s "Our Love" served as the template for New Order's Temptation & their iconic Blue Monday. The drum pattern & rhythm was used for Blue Monday, the backbeat & synth arpeggiations for Temptation

finally someone in Parliament said it. I am not the only one who noticed that Abbott-era bipartisan hysteria over Australians fighting with ISIS has until now been matched by complete crickets on Australians joining genocidal Israeli occupation forces.

When are our media & arts institutions going to grow a back bone and not be spooked by lobbyist letters making vexatious and defamatory claims. Have we learned nothing ? Are these institutions more concerned about cranky letter writers than war crimes they seek to distract from?

From an orphaned calf found sleeping beneath a tree in 2004, to a mother of three living wild in the wilderness from whence she came. Lualeni’s journey since her rescue is as profound as her success as a wild-living mother. Her latest addition is her first male calf, who we’ve named Luki.

Utterly wild that people urging the Australian government to acknowledge the global reality of an authoritarian USA, like serious countries are doing, are met with 'that's unrealistic' critiques. This is a country of cowards that would prefer our politics to forever be in the realm of make believe.
