I’m mainly here to be the Middle Footscray Station underpass flooding correspondent.
Today @samhellkin.bsky.social has put on the first Trans Book Festival at the @wheelercentre.bsky.social in Naarm. The absolute who’s who of TGD writers and a full house to see them speak.

Some of you may not know the regard in which I was held on the bird site for my coverage of flooding events at the Middle Footscray underpass. Sadly, the drainage issues have been fixed.

But happily, the little village has a new drama!!

While he stands there being all sad and stuff, remember he's still litigating all over the globe to try and stifle the very credible multiple allegations of domestic violence against him

Just as Zverev is about to speak at the trophy ceremony, a woman repeatedly shouts:

“Australia Believes Olya and Brenda! Australia Believes Olya and Brenda!”

Broke through the silence.

Younger folk may ask ‘who was Kevin Andrews?’

He was the Social Services Minister in 2013-14. I will speak neutrally about what I recall of him, because he’s dead.

Condolences to his family, friends and those who liked him.

*takes a deep breath*
#BREAKING 🚨 Former long-standing Liberal MP Kevin Andrews has died aged 69

Andrews served as member for Menzies from 1991 until 2022 and was a minister in multiple governments

A statement from his family said Andrews died “peacefully overnight with wife Margie by his side”

Education inequality is a blight on this country. If the rich get the best education, it reinforces and entrenches poverty. Utterly shameful.

Plibersek has been served up a diet of shit sandwiches all term, and Albanese decided to give her a side dish of roasted shit just to make sure she understood what her role is.

This is very damaging stuff by Albanese. Won't help them in WA but will hurt elsewhere

Plibersek had nature positive deal in writing before Albanese vetoed without her knowledge
Exclusive: Environment minister agreed detail with Greens but the PM intervened after lobbying from WA premier and miners

No matter the content of the legislation, the Senate dealing with 32 bills in one day is a sad abrogation of the proper scrutiny role of the upper house and an approach that can only erode public confidence in the Parliament. 1/2 #auspol
Labor passes migration and social media ban bills after marathon Senate sitting
More than 30 pieces of legislation pass the upper house amid a flurry of deals with the Coalition and Greens

I deleted the bird app a year ago for various reasons but mainly because I didn’t want to support Elon.

Anyway it’s SO nice to see so many people reassembled here, especially in this time of media uselessness.

I’m proud that Liberty Victoria stands with a swathe of other civil society organisations to oppose the Albanese Government’s cruelty towards migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum.
