Australia. Most of you noticed that your family, usually not very far back, are in fact, immigrants.
For those that didn’t, and attended rallies yesterday, how does it feel to stand up with the ideals we went to war against?

While TC Alfred bares down on South East Queensland, the Public Service is working in their THOUSANDS to keep the work of the Nation going. Veterans Affairs processing and claims teams? Working. Where? Safely, at home.
WFH & Flexible Work means they haven’t stopped, work keeps moving…

Waking up to a Nirvana reunion fronted by Post Malone was even less on my bingo card for 2025 than Europe being ousted from peace talks on their own continent, and I’m occasionally wondering if all of this is really happening or whether the ADHD meds weren’t a good idea after all.

Been a while since I posted a cute Echidna, so here you go!
Came across this intrepid one at Mulligan's Flat. To get the shot I put my camera up on the log and shot while hiding my face out of view. Got pretty lucky I must say!

On Jan26, Australians commemorate Britain establishing a prison in Sydney. It's a vile celebration of invasion, dispossession, colonisation and mass murder of the Indigenous peoples. It has nothing to do with Australia becoming an independent nation. 😔 #InvasionDay

To the Respected Left in Australia, the UK, and the USA,
The far left is not the issue and has never been the reason for any far-right triumphs. The real problem lies in the centre-left's hesitance on key issues, which is costing us votes. It’s time to stand firm and confident in our beliefs.

Great story by @caseynewton.bsky.social - while this is US only, for now, the obvious ramifications of allowing total lies and misinformation to spread/be amplified when the prior system was at least part effective in preventing that
2025 is the new 2016 for your relatives claiming crazy things. 😖

The privatisation of the Public Service under multiple LNP Governments has resulted in worse service for Australians, higher costs to the Taxpayer and lower accountability. Essential work in the National Interest underfunded while consulting firms make bank.
Today the Coalition made clear if elected they would sack public sector workers, cut their pay & return to funnelling our money to the big consultants. We lose jobs, pay, expertise, services & money spent in local communities. Good for consultants profits, bad for the country
