Something deeply disturbing in our society when people actively work against the police to capture someone who has murdered two policemen and doesn't recognise society We're showing deep signs that as a society we are beginning to fragment and decay from within These are questions for all of us
What else would you call it?? Would it be different if it were a Jewish gathering
I can relate!
A man that split a woman's head open yesterday, for asking them to just please leave, walked up to a Woman Premier and threatened them and he is still walking around. A 11 year old Aboriginal girl has been in an adult jail for 4 months for shoplifting.
The ghost writer strikes again…
Sounds like it - someone is operating his Truth Social, for sure.
Photo passed along from a federal employee from inside the Dept of Labor building, where a giant Orwellian image of Trump's face is now draped outside. Big Brother is watching.
This bloke did not want to be photographed at the Naarm/Melbourne Nazi rally. Odd given he's supposed to be flag proud. Oh well, too many cameras not enough hands. #auspol #springst
So have we heard from him? Or was the announcement just on Truth Social?
Advance Australia’s nepotism babies!
And Vic police are complicit: ‘Victoria police said it was too early to confirm whether the alleged attack on Camp Sovereignty… would be investigated as “prejudice-motivated”, the force’s term for offences that could also be described as hate crimes.’
Elon Musk also got himself involved, inflating attendance figures by at least 10 x in a post on X.
We need to watch our own backs in Australia. Far right groups and nazis can’t gain traction here, as they have in US and UK. First Nations are the only non immigrants here.
It's the US that has ringed its military bases around China and threatened to use 'Australia' as a launching pad for its little war in Asia. 'But to White House analysts thousands of miles away in Washington, this cradle of Chinese shipbuilding is part of a growing threat.'
I’m wondering why an AI generated ‘speech’ by the orange one hasn’t been put up yet …
Across the nation, the March for Australia got underway stuffed full of Australians from all walks of (intolerant of other people) life — First Dog on the Moon www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
If we have special envoys to tackle racism for specific races and cultures who experience racism, why is there no special envoy to tackle racism against First Nations people? #campsovereignty
In the UK's current climate, 45C is now possible in summer, while extended 40C+ heatwaves are certain in the decades ahead Our housing stock is completely unprepared for this so that indoor heat death will become commonplace during summer www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Tony Blair and Jared Kushner are apparently partnering in Trump's rebuilding Gaza in his own image plan, to the dismay of many. www.rawstory.com/trump-267394...
A Green Senator was sanctioned for protesting genocide. Y'day we saw one MHR & 2 Senators speak at the nazi rallies ...... yeah I know the answer.
www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09... This woman is almost as annoying as Linda Reynolds. "Reigniting the spirit of Australia." Racism and hatred is not something we want to "reignite." #auspol
Everyone in Canberra probably does, but I think you mean those in parliament …
Call out ‘march for australia’ for what it is - domestic terrorists and nazis: ‘Police investigate violent attack by neo-Nazis on Indigenous sacred site - The Age’ ‘Men charged with assaulting Sydney police officer after March for Australia rally - ABC news’
So trump is still getting his ‘Trump Riviera’ then.
🚨 The age assurance trial report makes the case AGAINST a social media age ban. The risks it identifies - mass surveillance, biometric data collection, Big Tech control, and systematic bias against girls and POC - clearly outweigh any potential benefits.
To @albomp.bsky.social & Jillian Segal, Fucking abhorrent Nazi’s marched on our streets, attacked indigenous Australians & 20yr ongoing peaceful protest for treaty & acknowledgement of genocides. Anything? Or only synagogue doors & predominantly ‘white’ Australian heritage you stand up for? #auspol
An unlikely alliance of the Coalition, the Greens and Independent senator David Pocock is pushing for the release of tens of thousands of extra home care packages for elderly Australians. Follow live.
I think that is wishful thinking.
Just spouting trump’s excuse for ICE. Of course; never an independent thought from cookers.
It was but it is only early in their campaign. As a nation we need to identify what motivates these “protests” and determine what steps need to be taken to overcome them. Otherwise they fester and grow and infect others widely. Knee-jerk or emotive reactions are inadequate.

As those third class passengers of Titanic also said, when there was no hope of getting space on a lifeboat. 😕
FDOT crews wash away chalk memorials as soon as they appear. Police presence has been constant. What was once a symbol of love and remembrance is now patrolled and erased.
Both China and US have shares in the companies taking over this family’s farm, allowed by Victorian law. The project is aptly named,’the Donald project’.
It’s frightening- maybe as you said, he knows he’s dying and he’s taking the world with it - nukes?
Murdoch and fossil fuel Nazis Shell Australia right behind today’s March for Racism.
A sad day for Australia.
Thomas Sewell spoke at the racist rally in Naarm today, so it was officially a Nazi rally. #AusPol
Leaders of the March for Racism.
So - this extremely anti-government, angry, "religious man", who roams dense bush & rugged hills freely, "has been on a disability pension since the early 2000s" & has also been deemed fit to hold multiple firearm licenses. There are more questions to ask, ABC #Auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...
Dr Assal Rad— “𝘛𝘰 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘺 “What an insane way to describe a war crime.”
Australia's war is not against China. Our fight is right here against dumbcluck Government thinking that surrenders to Murdoch mediocrity, automatic agreement to allow unfettered environmental destruction, fear of ending colonial rule & terror of taxing the ultra rich johnmenadue.com/post/2025/08...
My family is like herding cats trying to organise get togethers 😂I hate to think how long it would take by email ! 😂
Should be front pg news the world over! “72% of the world is now under authoritarian rule," Nobel winner Maria Ressa says. "We're literally electing illiberal leaders democratically." www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...
*hypocritical. AI typo.
Isn’t that a bit odd -a ‘sovereign citizen’ who still accepts disability pension from the Aus government? Almost hypercritical, one might say?
BREAKING: yesterday Labor rightly condemned anti-migrant rallies. The same day they signed a $400m plus secret deal with Nauru to allow them to forcibly deport up to 100,000 people without their consent. Labor’s dog whistle politics is so much part of the problem.
And since the extended family don’t seem to want to join me on signal - they all have Whatapp..🤷🏻♀️
I didn’t realise how sprawling the empire of Meta is til I tried to leave. My family has a chat group in Messenger; but you need a FB account to access. Whatsapp is also Meta owned. So my only choice is to deactivate FB; but that is really only logging out.
David Pocock: “Like many Australians I was frustrated & angry about many decisions government made that clearly weren’t evidence-based or in best interests of Australians. I’ve come to see why: a lack of transparency and broken lobbying rules.” www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/21450/...
"By expelling Iran’s envoy over unsubstantiated allegations while ignoring Israel’s mass atrocities in Gaza, the @albomp.bsky.social Government shows Australian policy is not neutral, not independent, and not primarily about safeguarding its people." #GazaGenocide johnmenadue.com/post/2025/08...
i have understood what you meant, and thoroughly agree.
Interestingly, one of the early naturalisations after the Act of 1903.
Again, so what if he has Lebanese heritage. My grandparents were also naturalised ex Italian citizens, from part of Sicily- and I’m proud of my heritage.

Also heard on the ABC today the producer of Spotlight call Dezi Freeman not a bad bloke, when dealing with him for Current Affair. Shits me to tears. Astounds me how many GOOD Blokes we have in this country who murder women, cops, children and each other.
"Despite the clear evidence of the impact of climate change on the economy, the Govt refuses to release the climate risk assessment report" "Govt is refusing to let voters know about the impacts of climate change on the economy." @richarddenniss.bsky.social australiainstitute.org.au/report/clima...
It’s actually quite interesting background to the AUKUS debate. I haven’t finished reading it yet.
Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
And might that ‘tragedy’ be imminent, with a bit of not so gentle persuasion?
We are all the frogs in boiling water - oblivious to the fact we are all ready to cook.
An eye opening book:

Point to all the knife, pitchfork, etc. attacks in another country. Hell point to a group of countries. One American shooting event will have more casualties. Mental illness is world wide, this doesn't happen world wide buddy. You are right, it is an issue to be addressed, not the pressing matter
That horse bolted the day trump was re elected. There’s no maybe.
But don’t leave the Kerrys out…
A worthwhile read.
Following in trump’s ICE footprints - the only things missing are the masks. Shame on you, Labor government!
Pretty much.
Spent an hour and a half trying to get into my myGov account- because my account was locked because someone trying to get in. Still locked out because I don’t remember which person in history I admire the most … ironic, really.
Magpies and pigeons constantly invite themselves into my house 😂I hope there isn’t much poop to clean up…
"Two people fighting the Bear Gulch fire on the Olympic Peninsula were arrested by federal law enforcement, in a confrontation described by firefighters and depicted in photos and video."
FFS!
How bloody ridiculous.
Orwell just got the year wrong…
Orwell was just out by 41 years…
The truth is, temporary safety measures imposed by force rarely stay temporary. History shows that once freedom is surrendered, it is almost never freely given back. And just like Franklin, we’re here to say no.
I remember a time not so long ago when flying into LA meant going through brown pea souper smog. To be greeted by blue sky on landing a few years back was uplifting. I guess it’s back to the brown smog…
Appalling. Another consequence of neoliberal stupidity. As Rod Campbell notes: “The simple policy fix is to tax the gas industry and properly fund universities." #ClimateCrisis #auspol
I don’t think he remembers who Taylor Swift is. Women don’t register as individuals to him unless he has a current beef with them.
FFS. This country is literally famous for its droughts. We already regularly have to be told to limit showers, use recycled water on gardens, turn off taps while brushing teeth... And they want us to spend our water budget on the lying plagiarism machine? REALLY?
Let’s be clear: RW politicians have always resisted anything that teaches critical thinking in schools, always cut back broader education, & strategically cut back access to education for the under privileged. It’s a tactical choice to maintain a slave class for the rich.
If only there was something we could do…
That’s awful. 😕
Do young people even know what that means? My mother was fond of that word when she caught us wasting time instead of doing our chores 😂My 40 yr old daughter didn’t know what ‘skiting’ meant. That word might come in handy, too, when dealing with FB posts …
Japan has just opened its first osmotic power plant 🌊⚡ This works by mixing fresh & salt water across a membrane, creating pressure that drives a turbine to make electricity. This site will generate 880,000 kWh a year...while helping run a desalination plant providing fresh water to the city 👏
FFS why has he been cancelled?
Britain can’t fall too!
I haven’t had those in ages! Yum, great comfort food.
Hyperthetical question: If a US President dies in office, and the VP becomes President, does that count as a first term? Asking for a friend.
Is there a secret Operation that Labor and Liberal parties put their members through, that inserts a Fascism gene and removes all empathy? This language is atrocious and scary. The path it is leading us down will end up with a Trump in Canberra.
“…new laws that would remove the obligation to grant procedural fairness to non-citizens facing removal to a third country.” No better than trump’s US.
Who would have thought?
This is beginning to sound like a drinking game.
“Primarily” is the operative word. Be transparent and name the other countries.

“The Alaska Aerospace Corporation considers transparency with Alaskans a priority. On occasion, there are some launches, like the one last week, that do not permit us this latitude.” !!
