Pretty widely disappointed with current politics; the Right's resurgence and the Left's disappearance. Joy in, among other things, music, art, nature, friends and walking our two greyhounds. No DMs, thanks.

The western media's failure to report the reality of Gaza didn’t start on 7 October 2023. It’s always been like this. Here’s why journalists won’t tell you the truth about Palestine. #auspol #gazagenocide #israel #msm

Power does reveal what people are really like: what their base and true instincts are. That’s something I’ve learned watching people grow with the job, and certainly Gough Whitlam did. Power revealed the things he cared for. JM #auspol #Whillam
What would Whitlam think of the Albanese Government?
Gough Whitlam’s head mandarin and Pearls & Irritations founder & editor-in-chief John Menadue shares what he sees as the lessons of the Whitlam years, one of which is that the powerful can never be trusted.

For years, billionaires in jeans and tshirts, at rock concerts and fashion shows pretended to be "regular people," but the current era has exposed their real values and beliefs - cruel, exploitative, egotistical, authoritarian, narrow-minded, and pathologically greedy.

Israel has been claiming Iran nuclear weapons are imminent for decades. Nick Feik’s excellent article should embarrass many other journalists reporting on the attacks.
Pre-emptive attack is self-defence. Bombing for peace.

Trump stands back as Israel tries bombing its way to a new neighbourhood… Israel’s real agenda & what role the US is really playing with Iran and Israel. Donald Trump & plausible deniability that the US is not involved. My latest analysis.
