#Herzog has just arrived at Parly Hse. Albo frothing 🤮. There was so much ANGER at this morning's demo on the lawns of Parly, and rightly so... aimed more at Albo and Minns than anyone else. One of Matilda House's grand daughters gave the Welcome to Country, and stated that Herzog was NOT […]

Much amusement in #qt at Angus Taylor's expense: many of the questions cleverly finishing up with "Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus"... until the smartarse member for Gippsland jumps up with a POO, objecting to the use of a member's name. Spoil sport. #AusPol2022

Perfect weather for a cycle to MoAD with bro and SIL. Did the Behind The Lines cartoon exhibition, fabulous. Then home via Snapper on the lake for fish n chips. And now I'm putting the finishing touches on tonight's Nasi Lemak, which is taking coals to Newcastle as they lived in Malaysia for 5 […]

Susssan looking very pleased with herself this morning and it's reminding me of O'Reilly in Fawlty Towers: blissfully unaware of Sybil with her Pointy Gnome just around the corner. 🤣😱 #auspol

Great to hear Fiona Carrick MLA on ABC 666 with Ross Solly, discussing the renaturalisation of Yarralumla Creek. The flood damage to the 'drain' in Curtin over the weekend leaves us with the ideal opportunity to look at renaturalisation, in stages, as sections such as this crumble from old age […]

[Controversial opinion of pet death.]
Very sad for Nagi, Dozer has died. But the poor boy was put through far too much for the last few weeks of his life. Nagi was unable to let nature take its course. I can totally understand that, but it doesn't make it right, and it's not something which […]

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has foolishly cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, and homelessness is predictably now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if lazy political ideology doesn’t get in the way.
Homelessness on the Rise in Finland - Y-Säätiö
Asunnottomien ihmisten määrä on kääntynyt kasvuun. Nyt asunnottomien määrä kasvoi Helsingissä, vaikka asunnottomia asutettiin vuoden aikana vaikuttava määrä.

This article would have been much more useful if bike locks/security was discussed. Pretty useless without that info (eg are there some types of locks which discourage these thieves??)

Of course, it is obvious that Albo's judgement, the Governor General's weakness, pointless Labor backbenchers like Alicia Payne and insiders like Katie Gallagher are also being protested […]
