Hey, heads up ABC.
If you think that the Black Saturday bushfires happened on the 28th Feb 2009, as you stated in #IWasActuallyThere,
I can tell you weren't actually there.
Bit of a shame that you cannot check even the most basic of facts any more.
It was a big day for many of us. Truth matters.

A very important topic and a few connect-the-dots moments for me but I must admit I got bogged down in the long list of names. Bit of a slog at times.

‘A facility for them’: Labor says WA shipyard to be used by US for sub maintenance as it commits $12bn
Defence minister says Henderson naval shipyard ‘very much an Australian sovereign capability’ but admits Aukus submarine partner will use it

The US will be able to use a major naval precinct in Western Australia to dock and maintain its own nuclear-powered submarines, the federal government has confirmed, after committing $12bn to upgrade the shipyard.
The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, on Sunday insisted the shipyard was an “Australian facility” as he downplayed suggestions the announcement was timed to appease US demands for increased Australian defence spending ahead of a potential face-to-face meeting with Donald Trump. Continue reading...

Not a very common bird around here.
It joins the New Holland Honeyeaters, Crimson Rosellas, King Parrots and Eastern Spinebills feasting on the almond blossoms that somehow have survived the crazy weather.

I don't like Albanese as PM but it reflects well on him if he gets criticism rather than praise from war criminals.
It's hard to see a path forward for Israel. They will never be forgiven and this is Netanyahu's fault. He is the one who has betrayed his country.

The truth emerges.
The campaign to silence writers - which imploded the Bendigo Writers Fest - was waged by an anonymous group of pro-Israel academics, 5A.
(A group that has no compunction naming and defaming individual writers, btw).

Just got my tax receipt from the ATO.
I contributed thousands to welfare, health, education (no problems with that) and also thousands to defence (way too much).
But environment and conservation doesn't even get a mention. You would never guess we are facing an ecological crisis.

How good is it to live in an Australia where a foreign nation is deliberately starving an entire country of people and a South African born white woman is paid from Australian's taxes to defend the foreign-nation-that-starves-people and is also directed by our govt to tell us to shut up about it?

Jillian Segal obviously feels that condemning Advance would be worse for her reputation than staying silent.
It suggests she must be close to people who would view her speaking out publicly against racism as a betrayal of core values.
It's a concerning thought.
