Escapee from Twitter. Just an immigrant to Australia (like all the rest) with an opinion that's hopefully based on lateral thinking. Social Conscience is a good thing - the world needs a whole lot more carers and a lot less haters.

Just a couple of months ago Rosie received snake anti-venom that saved her life. Another 15min and she would probably not have made it. Here she is celebrating being alive after an 8km run through the mud and hills. Celebrate every day like Rosie x

He's like a 2 year old excited about getting some lollies (candy). An utter and complete embarrassment to the USA. Cannot believe the number of people that voted for him. At least half their population are complete idiots.

I recently spoke to an evangelical here in Australia. He was a Trump admirer (he's a strong anti-abortionist). He is now on the other side based on a number of Trump's latest actions particularly the Venezuela invasion. He now believes that "Christian Nationalism" is the biggest threat to the world!

First Hitler invaded Poland. The comparisons with the orange imbecile are terrifying looking on from Australia. He's already announced 6 other countries he is targeting including Greenland. We have US facilities in Australia (Pine Gap) - we need to withdraw our alliance - we are no longer mates.

Tonight in Australia we had our first mass shooting for many years with 12 killed/29 injured at a Hanukkah event on Bondi Beach. Agree or disagree with Palestine, THIS IS NOT THE SOLUTION. Whoever did this has severely damaged the Palestine cause. This is Australia. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

abc.net.auLive: 'Horrifying' attack on Jewish community in Bondi leaves 12 dead, dozens injuredPolice say there are multiple fatalities following a shooting near a Jewish gathering at Sydney's Bondi Beach. Follow live.

2019 and Kayleigh delivers Trumpee’s healthcare plan at a press conference . It was huge and unfortunately it was totally blank. Question from afar - how do red voters explain this or do they just ignore it? Do they not realise they are being taken as fools?

Watching from afar, I am afraid that this move towards censorship/banning of media criticism of your President could ultimately result in the banning of Bluesky. This whole site represents those opposed to your orange felon. I hope I am wrong.

We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories. Vaccines are safe and effective. Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans. He must resign.

The hoops to jump through in Australia to even own a gun are numerous. And they need to be stored in a locked gun safe that will be regularly inspected. The NRA and GOP have a lot to answer for - money talks and children die. There are no words.

Australia Post has suspended most postage to the US ahead of new tariffs on low-value parcels. Businesses wanting to ship to US customers now unable to use the government-owned carrier. Online retailers had stopped shipping there in recent weeks, as global postal services described "chaos".

All empires will collapse, eventually. The dominant power of any age will be overrun by corruption, incompetence, and a lack of vision. A country will forget what made it strong, and complacency breeds fragility /1

An asabiyyah is usually strongest when in harsh conditions and in opposition, and it weakens when it settles down into a life of complacent luxury. Ibn Khaldun argued that an empire will rise and fall within five generations.

When a nation starts to look after only a few people at the top, it’s often not long before something or someone takes over. /1 This is known as the ‘Empire cycle,’ and it goes back to Ibn Khaldun. /2

Normally today I would wish you a Happy Independence Day, but today is not normal. Your people have voted for fascism. Your leadership so closely resemble Germany of the 1930s more and more each day that the rest of the world are horrified.

THANK YOU - I just reached 300 followers. That's 300 people who are interested enough in the opinion of an Australian to sign up to my views. I hope I can continue to do justice and help show the world our heart.

So now I read that MAGA believes all the demonstrators are being paid!! WTF with these people - are they drinking some mind-altering drug? It's great that the people are taking to the streets but yet again MAGA and the cable news will find a way of diluting it - the US is a bizarre place atm.

We may have been a little quiet, but the introduction of 25% against our steel and other exports will finally wake us up. Australia needs to boycott US imports. Canada is family to us and their example needs to be followed. Fk Trump and Fk Elon.

This is the Premier of the State that I live in (Western Australia). He just won by an absolute landslide in our elections held over the weekend. And yes, he thinks JD Vance is a "knob". In Australia this is short for "knobhead" in case you wondered! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
