FFS I've been an RFS firefighter for nearly 50 years. You can't just arbitrarilly double planned burns. If not done judiciously, preferably using traditional first nations burning practices you can increase fire risk. You're also restricted by prevailing conditions. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Whether you’re a fan of Hallowe’en or not, you have to give it credit for being the last line of defence against Christmas advancing even earlier into the year, a ragtag gang of goths holding the line against a battalion of baubled barbarians

Ed Husic warns not to expect a “kinder, gentler” Israel if Netanyahu is thrown out of power, reminding that Gadi Eisenkot has also led campaigns to kill Palestinians, has “refused to criticise the viciousness” of Netanyahu & has even served in his war cabinet after Oct7. ffs.

Every fucking time

Woolworths customers say they expect to see "modest increase" in amount of shoplifting

Productivity is down in Australia because we’re all waiting for a delivery scheduled between 9:00 and 11:00 that comes at 4:00

sorry to ruin your fun but his whole stoner nice guy routine is an act. Scooby's not even his real name, it's Gideon, and the only reason he can doss about in a mystery van is because his family, the D'Oubay-Doux, made a fortune in the East India Company in the 1700s. educate yourself.

We know the reasons we shouldn’t do this, and we hope our readers don’t associate them with what we’re doing, which is all those things.

As Flávio Bolsonaro and his family land in USA without documents, Trump suddenly loves undocumented migrants

she literally sets the fucking prices omg this is like me saying i expect to see less coffee in my cupboard in the coming days

NEVER buy Tasmanian farmed salmon.

Sounds like they should only be available by prescription. Would end worries about perverts using them. Not great for Meta’s profits so you won’t see that being suggested.

Government that has vigorously supported a genocide wonders how society became more violent…

The Muslim Brotherhood are three weeks from developing a nuclear weapon…

Three people is not a protest, it’s one upset family member and two friends offering moral support. Vote Louise Elliott dead last in the Hobart City Council elections. 🖤💛❤️

My niece was taken to hospital in an ambulance on Saturday because of a psychotic break and she has still not been admitted to the hospital. She has been in Emergency ever since. Shame, Qld LNP, SHAME

This feels like the trolley problem

Too soon?

AI will destroy the internet. Not with its slop. Because secure servers will be constantly shut down to fix compromises caused by AI. We’ll all be back to physically shopping with cash by May next year.

Whole Parliament supporting a tax dodge run by a foreign company The lack of awareness is astounding Just ewww Charity is a failure of government #auspol

I’ve loved seeing predatory, lazy, and/or otherwise dumb Airbnb hosts have a complete mental breakdown over being faced with the reality that their real estate investment is still, in fact, operating in the hospitality industry.

If you cross a nervous Rodney Dangerfield with a cornered Hermann Göring, you get a Jeff Bezos.

"It is blatantly irresponsible for politicians like Jess Wilson to be linking legitimate and peaceful protest of Israel’s genocide in Gaza to the Bondi terror attack. We unequivocally condemn her mislabelling of peaceful protest as antisemitic." @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social statement. #springst

An image claiming to show an older couple in their underwear after being stripped and robbed by French rioters is an AI-generated fake. https://bit.ly/4Boegsg

Jess Wilson’s main policies 1) Punch down on Indigenous people 2) Boost support for a genocide 3) $8 Billion budget blackhole I seriously can’t tell the difference between Wilson and Hanson at this point. #springst

Lulu wins. Zuckerberg loses.

Excellent progress here. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Israel calls everyone it kills a terrorist. It called the protesters in Gaza terrorists. It called the journalists it shot dead terrorists. It called the aid workers it bombed terrorists. It called the activists on the Freedom Flotilla terrorists.

I need to make this clear: If you (WHOM I AM SPEAKING TO RIGHT NOW) have decided that "The Devil says he'll let us all go if we just hand over the outcast!" You *are* the villain, you *are* the monster, you *are* the bad guy. No questions. No exceptions. Liberty and Justice for ALL or GTFO

Israelis will vote for 1) accelerating the genocide 2) continue the genocide at same speed What shitcunts
