Retired -yes, brain dead -no! Dog lover, interests in politics, equality, climate, world affairs. Fed up with media/journalists who no longer report facts nor hold power to account. A disappointed ex-rusted-on Labor supporter who has turned Green.

Reposting this since the post-Haines conversation seems to finally be turning to what we think is obvious.

The critical defining feature of violence in Australian society is that it is, almost entirely, male. Pointing fingers in every direction (media, social media, gaming, gambling, porn, politics, whatever) will achieve nothing if it isn't also accepted that the problem is fundamentally a male one.

OMG can you imagine it if Hanson got to decide who got what by way of health care in this country. Does Gina own a Hospital yet?

Science based evidence. Another reason to keep Hanson away from our health system. #auspol #vaccinessavelives

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

Coming soon to ABC The groundbreaking series Given Up, which follows young children with hopes and dreams from a variety of backgrounds as they progressively give up their passions and principles to become dead eyed soulless functionaries of a major political party. Part 1 Anthony Albanese

Anything anywhere generated by AI should by law have a big fat ‘generated by AI’ label on it. If people or companies are happy enough to use it, they shouldn’t have any issue with publicly acknowledging it

This is the fat fuck who destroyed Australia's manufacturing industry before scurrying off to the US to play bum buddies with Trump. True to form, 730 and the ABC provided a platform for him to gloat over his past traitorous activity and to bloviate on why Trump will win the midterms. #auspol

It's the wrong question altogether. Immigration has never been all or nothing and we need skills and enterprise that for one reason or another we haven't got at home. For the poorer, the economy's bleak because the rich take too much and don't pay tax on it. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“Intercontinental missiles arrive on time. Rifles and ammunition cross borders, clear every bottleneck, meet each deadline. But a peasant in Nepal cannot procure his fertiliser or fuel at market price at a time of need,” he said.

My thoughts exactly!

If Channel 9, Channel 7, SBS and the Murdoch media were truly serious about protecting our democracy, they would walk out on Pauline Hanson's press conferences and boycott her in solidarity with The Guardian and ABC journalists who Hanson banned from them. #auspol

The politicising of potholes is another ‘Reform UK’ strategy, where low information voters are told simple stories - “Look at the potholes-the establishment has failed you.” In reality, right-wing parties cut infrastructure maintenance and push responsibilty onto LGAs.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

ABC 7:30 report on Labor pork-barrelling - no shit sherlock - glad to see in order to present a balanced view there is comparison with Colour Spreadsheet that Brigette McKenzie oversaw. McKenzie (of course) blathering and trying to explain the difference with her version of pork barrelling.
