Australian in Wollongong. Work in media (sub editor) Lefty/progressive. Habits/likes: music (esp Aus bands. So many good kids coming through. Triple J fan; good books; art; swimming, surfing, bushwalking, motorcycles, keeping my Mini Moke running.
So a 35-year-old five foot two woman who is a former politician is arrested by NSW police in a small protest, left like this, and may have serious eye injuries. Yet police say it’s not going to classed as “critical incident”? You think?

Poor Ted. Someone needs to let him (and the Australian) know that after last month’s crushing defeat he has a minority in both houses of Aus parliament and Labor can and will ignore him for at least three and maybe six years. Better get a hobby Ted.

Image on p1 of Australia’s biggest selling newspaper The Sydney Morning Herald this morning. Guy on right is our PM Anthony Albanese. Nation, like Canada, reassessing our faith in the US as a reliable friend. In trade but also defence.

We live in Aus and it’s about to turn into 3 months of 30C hot summer days. This is our lovely looooong haired tortoise shell after her annual trip to the cat barber. She is very indignant but secretly appreciative

My last X post. Old Aussie politician (Jack Lang, NSW Labor premier in the 30s) once said: “If you can’t win the, argument wreck it.” Feel like that now with our poor MAGA peeps, hence urge to rev them up. (I have kept account open for now. But would be a badge of honour to be thrown off it).

Marsupial mums: The locals at Thirroul (south of Sydney) keep stealing the cat’s food. Who could argue.
