PSA, I don't give money through SM. I interact on here in good faith for fun & a nice chat. You may be legit & in need but you will be muted or blocked if you ask for money. If I follow back & the first thing you do is DM me, you will be blocked. If you look like a bot I won't follow back. TYFYA.

Religious fucknuts are invading my letterbox with their various scams and cons. JFC the Australian Christian lobby would actually work for Satan id he existed.

Dutton's property investments... A reminder, on this property he made $3,675,000. But because you get a 50% discount on capital gains, he only had to pay tax on $1,837,500. That tax discount each year costs around $22bn - of which $18bn goes to the richest 10%

100+ sleepers, 15 or so posts, 40+ decking, 40m of steps, 20m merbou, 40m of bearers/joists, 1500 decking screws, 500+ bugle screws, 1 dead drill, 5 cubic metres of soil moved. Next stop is to finish the terracing, put in a cubby house and then the big one is to redo and revive the pergola.

Very ironic that Peter Dutton is on TV in parliament emphasizing some of the things Kevin Rudd mentioned in his apology speech - the speech that Peter Dutton walked out. Anything this potato says regarding indigenous issues should be taken with a grain of chicken salt. #auspol

Excellent policy.

This is huge. HUGE. Oral contraceptive pills to be added to PBS for first time in decades. Funding for IUDs, long lasting contraception, and menopause supports. This is one for the history books. Seriously, BIG. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Almost finished building a deck and the stairs up a big gradient on the side of our house. My soft software hands aren't so soft anymore and my very soft body is slightly firmer. Next stop rejuvenating the pergola when we get more money! #sundayvibes

Vote Teal number 1 in this election, even if you want Albo to win, put Labor 2. A progressive cross bench will force Labor to act & innoculate us against the right wing oligarchs. And vote carefully in the Senate. A progressive HOR is hobbled by a conservative Senate.

And in Australia prevention is always better so make sure we are not beholden to a 2 party system again. Independents are the vaccine against a rise of facism in this country

🥹 shed a tear for @LiberalAus' "astroturf" (fake grassroots) "australians for prosperity" which cries about being 'bullied'. these actual bullies have received $725k+ from the #coal lobby. so we're helping the 🎯 pro-climate action MPs counter this coal industry campaign… 🧵

Just released to me under #FOI is a never-before-seen chapter of the Official History of Australian Operations in Timor that was secretly expunged from the history. It tells uncomfortable truths and confirms Howard Govt lies and public deceit. Full story on Michael West Media soon. #auspol

It would be a mistake to think that everyone experiencing the worsening impacts of climate change will suddenly accept what needs to happen to arrest it. Misinformation and conspiracy theories will be deployed to muddy the waters as much as possible - looking at the comments in the US, it's working
