An EXCELLENT article!

An EXCELLENT article!
Her position is an outrage to our First Nations communities, and her report is an affront to all decent Australians who can condemn the actions of a country and their leadership whilst recognising not all of its citizens support the action.
Jillian Segal’s husband is John Roth, whose company Henroth Investments Pty Ltd donated $50,000 in 2023-24 to Advance Australia, one of the most inflammatory and divisive special interest groups in Australian politics
The overly-militant eradication program hasn’t achieved good community and landholder collaboration and it shows. They need to work more closely with industries moving items that could be transporting fire ants. Govt need to put more $ into local suppression teams who are much more effective.
In what context?
Benjamin Netanyahu nominating Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize is a very dark and scary sick joke. Brendan O’Farrell, Brunswick @theage letters
Sanctioning Francesca Albanese for trying to stop a holocaust, while funneling a genocidal maniac billions in weapons and diplomatic support, is some heinous evil empire shit. It's an assault on reality.
This is not winning any friends for Israel. 80 years from persecuted to predators. Revenge is bad enough, treating your enemy as sub human that you need to erradicate is insane.
How can we justify being so pearl-clutchingly intolerant of any sleight against the Jews but very happily openly racist against our own First Nations people?
To date, only the woman who provided the little girls to be raped on Epstein’s island has faced justice. The actual rapists of the little girls remain free as birds…
There are probably many reasons for the changes in attitudes to the war from the almost universal support of Israel immediately after the attacks to today. A one word reason for the change, it's obviously #Netanyahu. #auspol #israelpalestine
The aid site massacres are acts of state terrorism. By instilling fear that the helping hands are holding machines that might strafe you down at any moment, Israel is attempting to make Palestinians lose all hope. #auspol #Israel #Gaza #Aid
I want to talk to you about Palantir and its expanding footprint in Australia. TLDR: You should be worried. This US surveillance tech company has secured multiple Defence contracts worth over $11 million. We need transparency about what data they're accessing & why. 🧵
She danced the gravy fantastic.
Timelapse of Israel stealing Palestine.
Happy to join the fight to keep them out!

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.
We have sob stories about people with $5.5m in super, advice for those with $8m in super for how to avoid tax. It’s not just the tax system that needs fixing - also our media My column. www.theguardian.com/business/gro...
I certainly hope so. Will they do anything about it though? Unlikely.
As the U.S. and Israel escalates their war with Iran, Israel is doing something else: annexing Palestine under the radar. Roads for settlers. Cages for Palestinians. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/how-...
Sh*t is indeed getting real. A long but compelling read.
The axis of the world has tilted - likely irrevocably.
China’s singular crime is to have built an economy larger than the US, with industrial breadth and depth that the US not only does not possess but cannot hope to emulate. Paul Keating #auspol #USChina
I’d like to think that our current PM has more diplomacy than Scomo…
To play devil’s advocate - it takes an awful lot of legal process to cancel an international agreement of this magnitude. There is much advice and preparation that needs to be shored up before you approach the other parties and then much diplomacy to be engaged in before you make it public.
If your suspicious of election fraud this is a must read article.👇
I suspect it is all carefully manufactured. What is happening elsewhere that they are creating such a public distraction?
Can we also look at charging for our natural resources and designing a better system for ensuring that companies that transact in Australia contribute to our tax revenue? Wouldn’t this be a more impactful and immediate boost to our tax revenue?
😳 Now that’s a visual I did not need! 😂
They are totally going to get drunk, have bad sex and get back together at some point!
Ireland introducing free Menopause Hormone Therapy medication. Imagine that.
I think it's gone unnoticed how many indies just barely missed out this time. 0.05% off Bradfield (?) 0.1% off Goldstein 0.3% off Bean ~1% off Forrest ~1% off Monash 1% off Fremantle ~1% off Grey ~2% off Fisher 2% off Flinders 2.5% off in Cowper 3% off Wannon ~3% off in Lyne Calwell still unknown
The latest Honest Government Ad that Giordano, Lucy, Zoe and the team at @thejuicemedia.bsky.social have made has possibly my favourite authorisation message ever! Absolutely, definitely not the Australian Election Commission have just made this ad and it is surprisingly honest and informative!
This is the best 100-day recap I’ve seen — and it begs the damn question: Why is his approval rating still 39%? Are folks in a coma?
Let’s hope Dutton loses his seat in Australia now. The rest of the world needs to show that they vehemently reject Trump and those who stand with him.

No longer “French toast” but if you soak the bread in just the sugar and milk/cream part of the batter mix for about 30mins - then coat it in the beaten egg part and fry - you get a soft soufflé like inside and a crunchy toast outside!

I do so hope that the locals vote the dick out of Dickson I his election. It’s beyond time
This!
Presumably it would be implemented as a deductible at tax time? Meaning people would still have to pay the full mortgage through the year and then get a refund? Doesn’t exactly help make week to week living easier. Organised ppl could make it work in the 2nd yr with the 1st yr return but 🤷🏻♀️
I do hope that the rest of the world says no to any deals and just trades with everyone else for the next few years. This whole tariff thing is a big bluff and I want the world to call him on it!
It’s beyond time!
I’m huge - I’m going to be the biggest prime minister - probably the best prime minster you’ve ever seen - and I’ll have the biggest crowds - and I’ll have the most expensive power - and my friend Gina will have the biggest jet….. #takeoutthetrash #votetheDickoutofDickson #voteNotoTemuTrump
The voters of Dickson got it very wrong in 2001 and every election since. They have the power to oust Temu Trump now and keep Orange Trump’s tiny hands off Australia.
Maybe next time more of them will vote.
Indeed!
Yep. No surprises there.
Don’t tell Trump it’s uninhabited - he’ll rename it Trump Island and build a golf course on it!
Do we think someone in the production line is strategically removing screws? #theyhatehimtoo
#auspol #Australia #Politics #AusVotes25
Indeed - it’s plummeted in a matter of days 😳
It’s a sign that the people of Dickson need to send Peter “I don’t fill a sandbag” Dutton down the river. You need a local member who turns up and looks after his community
Hopefully this will be nail in Voldemorts coffin in #Dickson #auspol
This is a terrible look for Dutton. And when I say terrible, I mean as terrible as buying rock bottom bank shares during the GFC which shot up after bailout. I note this story has fallen off the media agenda already. Because News Corp killed it.
Peter Dutton is Scott Morrison 2.0 #auspol #AusVotes25 #DicksonVotes
Dutton is safe everyone #auspol
Peter "I don't hold a shovel" Dutton #auspol
Felt appropriate
He’s not wrong.
Just put my order in. Life is full of transitions. At some point you look back and see that you grew with each one and it opened up new spaces you hadn’t dreamt of then. 💚
This is a question I have as well. I’d have expected the judgement in January ….. but there had been crickets.
“I’m deeply worried by the darkening shadow that’s going over the world, a shadow that we have to call fascism” Stephen Fry
We aren't prepared for what's coming.
We have to wake up NOW! Australians do not know how good we have it. ALP are far from perfect but if they can come back & delay the election until the US has exploded into absolute chaos and violence - we might stand a chance. We need for this global shift to be real enough to keep Dutton out.
Trump has replaced the head of the military, FBI, stacked SCOTUS and stated “He who saves his country does not violate any law”. He’s sided with autocrats above allies and is purging the public service of non-sycophants. AUKUS? Still beyond questioning? What would it take?
A great article - we are surround in every nation by bloated billionaire bullies - and it is indeed a time of the cowards - when our leaders and communities aren’t standing up and speaking out against them. We cannot walk past this and look the other way. Too much is at stake. Stand Up & YELL!
I’ve had the same thing for nearly 4 weeks now. I’m exhausted.
As PM Albanese announces his game-changing #Medicare news, here’s a reminder that 11 years ago, as Health Minister, #Dutton desperately tried to introduce a $7 GP co-payment ‘price signal.’ Let’s send #TemuTrump & the Libs a very special vote-signal 🖕 at the election. #AusPol
I’m sure Dutton has already bought an apartment on spec in the new Trump Tower to be built on the picturesque Gaza Strip after Trump takes possession of it.
Although they are very loose!
*losing
Yes but not so limp it would drive people into the arms of Temu-Trump and the far right LNP version of Project 2025, surely? We do want more bold, decisive, ambitious leadership. But for good not evil. Whilst the US is loosing the plot we need a strong stable resilient non-facist govt - with balls.
It will all be done by AI. This is part of their point. They don’t think they need people anymore.
AI can do it in a matter of minutes. There will be a formula behind it and those the AI “fails” will get termination notices.
A long read but SO important. We cannot let the US 🔥happen here. This is NOT who we want Australia to be. We MUST NOT elect Dutton. Atlas Network & Advance Australia have huge $ to bring Project 2025 here under the LNP. open.substack.com/pub/tempests...
Dutton: No vision but division. No policy but animosity. #auspol #AusVotes2025

I just noticed that too??
Ha! So fab.
Perhaps the universal “gentleman’s agreement” of not holding men to account publicly - but also the universal commitment to the burning of women/witches on a stake in the town square?
Something really stupid is going to happen and it’s going to be so stupid that it’s the last thing that ever happened and then, later, when octopuses take the earth, and find our few remains, they’re going to be like what stupid shit did these stupid fucks do
Also T-bar or Twmba.

My thoughts are with you @lucyham.bsky.social. The whole widowing admin process and the behaviour of the banks and all business and social accounts is appallingly invasive and insensitive. Even 8 years later we still come up against yet another form or idiotic policy. Take care.
Or maybe vaccinated?
Absolutely! Thanks for the follow. I’m not specifically building my following - I’m just on here to avoid mainstream media and get more balanced and robust discussion. The world is going to hell in a hand basket and this is a good place to vent! 😊
It was a very enjoyable read.
