Don’t look for meaning or nuance in my profile picture. It’s just a picture of two nice looking actors from a great movie.
The other is 5yr old granddaughter's artwork.
Both make me smile 😃

Your reminder: In 1995 Labor introduced Sect 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, making it unlawful to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate due to race, colour, or national or ethnic origin.
Those who opposed this are now attacking Albanese for ‘allowing’ antisemitism.

Thinking about all the paramedics, and all the nurses and doctors in the ED's, operating theatres and ICUs (and the support staff) - we are enormously lucky to have them.

Am sure the government will be absolutely devastated that the social media ban will greatly limit the ability to organise things like the School Strike 4 Climate.
The November monthly temperatures have been released and 2025 looks set to be the 2nd hottest year on record.
Remember when warming apparently stopped in 1997?
That is more than 0.5C ago.

Electricity prices! What a shemozzle!
I can't flick a switch without thinking of former LNP PM John Howard's:
"We are firmly of the belief that services are best provided by private industry."
Can you think of 1 instance where privatisation has worked for consumers?
Labor started it in 1991.

Maybe they could devote a wing of the new stadium
More than 90 Tasmanians who have been medically cleared to leave hospital are not able to because they are waiting for an aged care place or NDIS support. Premier Jeremy Rockliff says it's "not good enough" and is calling on the federal government to increase hospital funding.
