Not one mention of traditional owners’ perspective here. 😳 www.sbs.com.au/news/article...
A succulent Chinese meal…?
Oh, and we just made friends with one who visits our front garden
Yikes, I’d be banking on emancipation and suing the f*%# out of those parents. Sounds a little abuse-y.
It’s Thiel AGAIN, isn’t it?
If you see the Eureka Stockade flag today, know that Raffaello Carboni, an Italian immigrant who helped create the flag, said: "I call upon all diggers, irrespective of colour, religion or creed, to salute the Southern Cross as a refuge for all the oppressed from all nations on earth." #auspol
Interesting that Mehreen Faruqi was immediately sanctioned for holding up a sign in parliament supporting Gaza but Bob Katter threatens violence against a journalist who is simply doing his job and asking an MP a question - and has so far received no parliamentary censure.
The PM of Yemen has been assassinated. The one country that was supporting Palestinians with action has been attacked by gencoidal regime for months. Imagine if the leader of another country was assassinated by a foreign power, there would be an outcry. Does Yemen have a right to defend itself now?
Are we sure we want US beef imports, Australia? Is US food going to be properly labelled?
Peter Thiel again. Sensing a pattern…
No word yet from the Australian Government OR Governor General on how they will resolve this massive overstep and cultural misappropriation. I feel we should go straight to ‘deeply concerned.’ #auspol #lamingtonfiasco #commonwealth www.theguardian.com/food/2025/au...
Or maybe you read something thoroughly one time, made a decision - and an announcement - and some bloke called ‘Albo’ just swept in and pulled the rug anyway. *shrugs*
Today’s mood. We tried Melbourne’s wild weather today and we’re done with it. Snooze on the couch time. #melbourne #dogs
Can I just clarify that round eye whitey skips are still not allowed to use the ‘w—‘ word but Australians with certain ethnic makeup are allowed to use it as self reference, aesthetic reference and to one another? I just want the rules. I will conform.

Yes, it’s like falling to the top of the buildings.
Would be great if he could run for a seat in the next election. Is it allowable if someone is in good behaviour? I’d say he has already displayed exemplary behaviour.
Oh, that is awful. Am I going to find out the judge has some interesting entanglements next?
Now I feel really guilty for lazing in bed til 8am on a WFH day. I’ll try to dance down the hall with this energy and joy.

And did a ‘thumbs up’ to boot. They’re really honing in on that Trump/Atlas Group agenda.
Will be awesome when it turns gaslighter function on.
#Breaking: Doctors Without Borders joins 100 organizations demanding an end to the weaponization of aid and immediate and unconditional opening of all land crossings for the delivery of lifesaving humanitarian aid. Read the full statement: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/gaza-israel-...
Britain is now a state where you are stopped by the police and face possible arrest if you wear a T-shirt emblazoned with PLASTICINE ACTION
Oh wow. And do visitors corralled to leave via this room and make an inspired purchase like at galleries and museums?
‘They’re good for tourism’ doesn’t quite cut it anymore. Exiled Harry is better for tourism - Travalyst is at least a viable entity and his veteran games are noteworthy events. I don’t understand why the grumbling British media are so against that couple.
We might have been in the same row!
We saw this with a full house at The Astor today! Loved it. Laughed through it. A beautiful tribute and insight.
Has anyone tried just repeatedly asking them ‘why?’ And when they respond, ask ‘why?’ Bet they couldn’t get to 6 times. Why give Trump a third term? Why let him run DC at all?
They wanted takeaway this evening. I made two mammoth nachos (and enough for 2nd meal) with organic beef, low salt corn chips, 2 x avocado, beans, tomato, capsicum, cheese, sour cream etc and sides of corn on cob and potato salad. $22 for the lot. (They’re happy to reheat - not quite create yet!)
And I’ve taught my teens well with the fancy ‘Ploughman’s Lunch.’ We have all the bits for an awesome spread and they’ve mastered flat-iron toasty maker. (Overheard a young project manager on $140k wondering why he couldn’t save, then looking at his Uber Eats expense for year - almost every meal! 😬)
Yes! When did the average cafe breakfast go from $14 to 26? In most cases I don’t get the markup. Also baulked at a $7.60 takeaway coffee recently (with weekend surcharge). I’m fine with public holiday surcharges (to cover wages) though it did make me decide not to order from that place on weekends.
Freedom Boy Tim Wilson on ABC insiders today apparently. Why? He’s aligned with the IPA Atlas network political agenda. Project 2025.
Who hired them?
I’m sure I was one of these sources of amusement!
Don’t want to interrupt the gaming - they’ll be locked out.
It's ‘impossible blue,’ isn’t it?
Aldi now trialling home delivery. www.aldiunpacked.com.au/aldi-livery-....
Maybe pagan prayers or rituals can be incanted or Indigenous stories told…. Or maybe it’s just time to get rid of all this hypo-Christian guff from Australia’s parliaments - state and federal. If they want to practice faith, do it in their own time.
BREAKING: A US judge just denied our request for an injunction to the land transfer of Oak Flat to Resolution Copper. Oak Flat, a sacred site of the Apache and part of the Tonto National Forest, is scheduled to be privatized on Tuesday. With the clock ticking, we have appealed to the 9th Circuit.
Not sure if that photo is of him. Here’s Zampolli (right) with his young de-facto wife, who was also on Epstein flight logs when super young.
Bollocks. It didn’t start in 2023. Isreal wants it all and this is just an excuse. They also want Lebanon and parts of Syria and Egypt.
Worst: lihapiirakka (kind of a Finnish turnover pie pastry) that was filled with little fish heads. A sad day. Best: So many cuisines to choose from, though an omelette with things picked straight from the garden at a coastal shack in Aitutaki is hard to beat.
It should come as a surprise to absolutely no-one that the @BBC and @abcnews @ABCaustralia are working from the exact same Israeli playbook. #ukpoli #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust #WesternMediaComplicity
I still use it though sometimes it’s difficult to get relevant Australian results / info.
And in Australia? Which organisations are aligned to Atlas Network? And people such as Tony Abbott?
www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...
Maybe just look into her buddy and ‘agent’ Paolo Zampolli and his connections. Zampolli’s Brazilian not-wife was super young and on Epstein’s flight logs too. She’s either a friend of Melania’s or was at least in photos with her for every Mar-a-Lago event for years. (Probably a victim.)
Well, they did disclose they were a ‘f*cker,’ I guess!
I think there’s room for both. No reason to limit activism.
I have a feeling Australia as dumping ground has always been part of the deal.
Anything from Australia’s ABC?
Guess that September deadline for France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand is great comfort when Isreal is murdering people day by day. 😒 When will they realise Netanyahu and Israel’s government does not care about their harsh words, concern or furrowed brows?
Predicated on agreement to demilitarisation of Palestine. We’d all feel safer with demilitarisation of Isereal.
He didn’t win. Pass it on. bsky.app/profile/elec...
Who would be THIS dumb? 🙋 🤦Two words we need to learn how to say to corporate tax bludgers. What do you reckon they are?
Dependent on a ‘demilitarised’ Palestinian state. Which would be just ready for Isreal to attack again at some stage. Same should be required of Isreal.
How about a demilitarised Isreal. Surely Netanyahu would readily accept that if he thinks is appropriate for Palestine. I’d feel safer in the world. And surely Albanese will readily do away with AUKUS if he thinks it ok to suggest/force demilitarisation on another (should be) country.
Labyrinth and also The Princess Bride. Both became cult or mainstay classics later on.
Are they?
The board chair seems to have been a poor match for this organisation. Interesting that she went to the UK media to further bully the founders and people continuing to highlight the charity’s cause and attract funds rather than resolve her own issues with the board. Kinda sounds like a set up.
😆
A conman, a liar, and a drunk walk into a bar. “The usual, Mr Hegseth?” asked the barman.
So many bees feasting on the flowering rosemary under the olive trees in our Melbourne winter garden today. Wonder where their hives are. #bees #urbanfoodgarden #Melbourne
Excellent article from @tomtanuki.bsky.social about the zionist lobby in Australia and all the blood on their hands. #freepalestine #auspol independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...
the Gaza flour massacres are when Israelis cause starvation by bombing farmland and blowing up bakeries and besieging the territory and then deliberately targeting murdering starving people who gather at food distribution points. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...
There are a lot of wealthy and well connected Australians with strong ties to Isreal. Their voice will have an affect. And either they use this to publicly speak out about these atrocities now and agree with sanctions or they are complicit.
Back in May 2021 I posted on twitter about a journey I'd undertaken to find a tree that I can see from our bedroom window. I've decided to post it verbatim on here as lots of people really enjoyed it. So, here it is…
@beltee.bsky.social 😍
And are all chickens, ducks, snakes and lizards women now?
What if you have egg-producing equipment like a chicken coop in your backyard? Are you a woman then? (Can’t keep up with these definitions!)
I heard Melbourne University also has an Interest in coding weapons. Could probably look through their annual reports and find some clues from funding or partnerships.
Who got the silver mines?
Well, when you put it that way, it sounds a bit ridiculous doesn’t it? 😆 But… it’s an interesting justification for increased police powers and controls over protesting.
The timing of this mask march with Premier saying, “It's clear they need more powers, and we're giving it to them," she said. "Our criminal anti-vilification laws come into effect next month. We will introduce powers for police to unmask cowards at protests after that.
Could be false flag
It’s just an insanely good vote winner for starters. Let alone potentially great for Australia if they don’t syphon it off to pay the US for imaginary subs while potentially accepting shitty uranium to dispose of.
Oh, octopus garden dives were my favourite. Not such a fan of deep diving, especially when these guys are so entertaining.

Is it time to talk about Palestine’s potential offshore resources and whether this is a driver to genocide and takeover their lands? #Gaza #Isreal #US #followthemoney
How long will they be there? Can you reduce the price to ‘cost per wear/tread?’ Might seem like a bargain after all. 😀
The mega wealthy won’t want to surround themselves with all the poors soon, so they’ll head off to Europe and Canada to spend their cash.
First deduct substantial legal fees. Then the cost of getting a house, furnishings, car, and funds to live on (she would have no earnings or superannuation for 20+years). $2m is way too low to compensate for this - let alone the life they robbed her of.
They give it away for free at supermarkets and to cafes a couple of times a year when they do their circulation audits. Then pretend this is the circulation/readership to advertisers. Scam rags.
She was wrongfully convicted, spent 20 years in jail for no crime and it destroyed her life. She is not a ‘former s- k-‘ at all as she was never this. Please remove this post. The wording is harmful and damaging.
Maybe his insight is that it will knock off people requiring social care, thereby ‘solving’ the problem.
"Independent member for Mulka and Yolŋu man Yingiya Guluya said the federal government must stop funding the territory government if the money was being used to put Indigenous children in prison." "It is systemic racism what's happening. Not looking after and listening to the Indigenous people..."
Listened to Jim Chalmers blathering away about AI - insisting it would increase productivity, but not addressing job losses directly ... and and the end of it thought... "Well that's a load of bullshit, right there."
@jimchalmers.bsky.social why Jim? You're treasurer, it's up to you to find out why these things are happening & work out how to fix it. @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social you should be helping him Chris, this is vital to your ministry, a way to pressure FF producers. @albomp.bsky.social WHY NOT?
I’d recommend listening to the whole National Press Club address of Australia’s Race Discrimination Commissioner Giridharan Sivaraman if you can catch it. Eagerly waiting on Albanese Government’s response and adoption to the recommendations. #auspol
Why start again? We don’t need an individual one.

Oh, I think his speech (and the report probably many people contributed to) is very inspiring - and honest. Particularly about First Nations people, discrimination, racism and equality. (Can I say blakfella’ as a round-eye whitey?)
Is anyone going to be held accountable for this? #auspol
News just in about one of my favourite Adelaide places - the State Library of SA has been recognised by the 1000 Libraries Awards as second most beautiful in the world. The Mortlock Wing (currently closed, btw) is a seriously beautiful spot.
I do love a tandoori chicken pizza. Even better with slices of mango.
