Imagine if all the $$$$$ in the armaments industry was spent on medical research, health & dental care, housing, education, famine relief & climate change mitigation! Just imagine. What a beautiful world that would be. #Health #Housing #Education #Welfare #ClimateChange

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

The Brethren supreme worldwide leader is like Sergeant Schultz: "I know nothing." Everyone but he knew that armies of Brethren were working the polling stations. If he's lying that could be contempt of parliament, 6 months jail. theklaxon.com.au/i-never-inve... #auspol

My article on AUKUS. AUKUS is about madness, militarism and money. Turning Australia into a US military base, sacrificing our sovereignty, and enriching retired politicians, military and public servants while battlers struggle to put food on the table

pearlsandirritations.comAUKUS has escaped proper scrutiny for five years. That is about to changeThe independent public inquiry into AUKUS will report on 4 November after examining the project’s implications for Australia’s security, economy, sovereignty and international standing.

Let me tell you a story about the politics of Australia: Over the last 28 years generally, but over the last decade particularly, I've done a lot of politics outside of Australia. Last week, an organisation I work with called me in for a meeting mostly among people like me around the world /n

Undoubtedly Albanese is disappointing, failing to communicate on issues causing public concern. Failure to lead on grasping need for bolder foreign policy, on explaining complex economic times ahead and current economic stresses ahead contribute to loss of trust.

Why is it nobody will mention the fact that Australians are living with the abomination of a government and almost an entire Parliament which supports the kidnapping, rape, torture, starvation and murder of tens of thousands of innocent people? Trust? Trust is dead.

This is a great episode from @janfran.bsky.social , pulling apart the PM’s “turning the temperature down” bullshit while we are gaslit about who is actually turning the temperature up. Including himself, grinning in selfies with the world’s inflamer-in-chief.

It’s been pissing down here for days. Tawnies are out there in the elements, as is their wont. If you look closely, you can see the Teflonesque nature of Mr Tawny’s plumage. Keep the sound off unless you’re keen to hear a lot of rain as well as some inadvertent Radio National.
