Apologies for the sarcasm but I can't help myself. It's probably best to assume I'm being sarcastic unless there's a frowny face.

Descriptions of pictures available but as 99.99% of people who look at my profile can see, I'll wait for requests.
The LNP thinks we're doing too much to tackle #climate change & wants to slow down the effort.

It's just code for, 'Can't someone else do it?'

Politicians must be polite about dead shock jocks.

It's so all those other odious men who're still bloviating on programs around the country don't start to think he'd speak ill of them after they die.

The proportion of young Australians working and paying taxes has been declining and they can no longer afford to pay.

Just like the ALP does.

Richardson, who's just passed away, once wrote a book called, 'Whatever it Takes'.

His former friends & colleagues still scream blue murder about people who followed his advice to oust ALP icon, Whitlam, decades ago.

Those arguing that countries with higher #renewable energy usage pay more for power ignore a basic fact.

It is first world countries like Norway, Denmark, Canada & Australia that have embraced green power - Of course they pay more.

If Virginia Giuffre were alive, she'd be a witness in a criminal case by now.

All that's left is hearsay which wouldn't make a strong case.

If you restrict new mines the companies will simply extend old mines!

Couldn't you mine the East coast, from Bowen to the Hunter, by expanding & creating one huge mine?

Well after what the Japanese had done, civilians in the allied powers accepted horrific slaughter in Japan.

Unlike Dresden, Tokyo was largely a wooden city when it the allies burnt c.100,000 people alive. Australians could be led to accept it against any new enemy.

In the '70-'80s media reports implied there'd be rapid warming & metres of sea level rise by now

#Climate models in the 1970s–90s were less advanced and many worst-case scenarios assumed little to no action.

Even in 1988 the Maldives were expected to have gone by now.

The Commander in Chief of the United States military is the President who has the authority to make critical decisions about defence & military operations.

Perhaps that'd be a good place to start improving the health of the military.

Was Erika Kirk showing the sign, 'El Diablo', the sign of devil horns at her husband #CharlieKirk's funeral?

It's very similar to the sign for 'I love you' in some versions of sign language but I'd have thought she'd avoid the ambiguity.

Children have always suffered terribly during #war. One of my relatives was orphaned during #WWII, evacuated from London to live with an ancestor in the country & married another relative.

What was the problem with the event? Did it ignore certain victims?

Clearly China's military is far superior to Russia's but starting WWIII would benefit nobody.

That's my point. We're decreasing per capita emissions but having virtually no effect on total emissions.

The only reductions are in what future generations are expected to use.

Images like these don't increase support for Pauline #Hanson but make people feel uncomfortable about the flag.

It wasn't a big issue but flags were displayed in Australia but I don't think many would want to associate themselves with people like her.
