Just a bloke living on unceded Girai wurrung land by the beautiful eroded Port Campbell limestone coastline. Union forever. The ocean is life.

Reminder: Australia supplies F-35 parts to Israel, knowing full well that they are being used to bomb and kill innocent civilians in the Gaza genocide and across the Middle East. Israel is a Western settler-colonial outpost and @albomp.bsky.social has zero plans to stop the carnage. #auspol
if everyone before the courts was shown the same leniency as killer white guys, we could shut down all the prisons. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...
Last week I visited here to pay my respects to Wombeetch Puyuun a proud man who stood firm as he had watched his culture disappear before his eyes. He wouldn’t leave his country of birth & was friends with James Dawson, read below for context 🖤💛❤️#AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07...

Car’n the Cats. This has been my lucky jumper and has my old mans name on it. Hopefully the luck continues.
I think Reform Australia is a shit name that Craigie bleach boy is suggesting. With all that lot together who have excelled in the edumacational system of cookery, it should be Recook Australia! #cookers101

That’s gold Rob. When I was an apprentice the old storeman told me about him and his brother connecting a car battery to a corrugated iron fence outside the local country pub. It was the fence that a lot of drunk blokes used to piss on. You fellas would’ve hit it off. 😊
If Israeli foreign influence operations masquerading around as community groups in Australia don't like one of the world's leading children's hospitals discussing the death of children in war, then perhaps Israel should stop killing so many of them. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...
@thecanaryuk.bsky.social: "Based on all the data collected, the death toll in Gaza is at least 680.000 [...] 380.000 are infants under five years of age, 99.000 children five or older, 63.000 women and 138.000 men" #stopthegenocide #endtheoccupation #FreePalestine www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/20...
The Government has revealed conditions for Woodside's North West Shelf gas project approval: strict limits on nitrous oxide pollution. Woodside says the conditions are "not technically feasible." If the project isn't feasible without damaging Murujuga, it shouldn't be allowed to go ahead. #auspol

Thanks for sharing. A burst of goodness and feel goods. 😊
3 years ago today I caught up with David McBride in Parliament to discuss his case - he still thought the system might be fair. Today he is still in prison in Canberra and whistleblower laws are still broken. A stain on this country.
Ah yes, the perfect analogy of the broad church.
Our Xanthorrhoea is putting up a flower stem 😊 There is also a Bulbine lily pushing through that is about to flower.
Led by an Australian (Gerard Barron), of course. A Trump supporting anti-environmentalist who pretends to be helping climate action for his business. (sound like anyone you know?) Aus business / right-wing media LOVE him www.afr.com/companies/mi...
Seacliff beach this morning - but it could be Bondi. Our oceans are on fire. Dead marine life all over the beach. Scientists warned us. Now we are in it. End new fossil fuels. Stop subsidising coal and gas. Our world is on fire and our kids will cop it big time.
Rest up, stay hydrated and get well soon. Hopefully the doc can help you out tomorrow.

Perfect solidarity. I love the support. Strength to all there. 😊
I've seen ABC refer to the Nazi rallies as "anti mass immigration rallies" over and over, exactly what Nazis want labelled as, legitimising them. In contrast, not once have I heard the Palestine rallies called anti-genocide or anti-colonial. I wonder what that's about 🙄

Agreed, it would be very boring. I just got home from an English comprehension workshop with great people from Indonesia, Phillipines, China, Ukraine, Kenya, France and Columbia. Such a happy and fun bunch of people that are a joy to be involved with in their quest to learn. Laughter abounds. 😊

Australia's Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal has said nothing about the neo-Nazis' "March for Australia" anti-immigrant rallies, or their speeches promoting white supremacy and a white Australia. Meanwhile her husband donates $50k to the people promoting the marches. 🤔 #auspol #NoRoomForRacism
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.

Where is Anthony Albanese in calling the attack on the First Nations Camp Sovereignty a hate crime, a terrorist act? There could not be a more blatant attack that is motivated by racial hatred and white supremacy and yet First Nations communities are again failed by this Government.
Can @tonyburkemp.bsky.social please explain to us why Thomas Sewell is walking around free in Australia? He wasn't born here. He's a hate preacher. He's a potential domestic terrorism threat. I'm told there is a warrant out for his arrest. Why hasn't he been deported long before now? #auspol
Kebab Katter chucking knuckles.
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
For those saying the rallies on the weekend weren't racist, violent Nazi rallies. Really? They were though. And everyone knows they were. #auspol #AntiImmigrationRally #NoRoomForRacism
Babet would’ve been skulking around somewhere.
I was working in the Melbourne CBD today and I was absolutely appaled by the violent mobs of racists attacking everyday people. The manager of my office is Sri Lankan and was fearing for his life. Shame on the abc for not calling this what it is - a violent racist mob @abcnewsbot.bsky.social #auspol

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
If you have a Neo-Nazi leader (Tom Sewell) speaking at your rally, its a Neo-Nazi rally. This is not difficult.
Bob Katter has retreated from Brisbane to Townsville where he minced quotes from Thomas Jefferson & William Wallace under the Eureka flag. KAP Hinchinbrook MP Nick Dametto to his right. Whatever happens next, the party has now publicly aligned itself with Nazis. #qldpol
We really need to change this. Politics shouldn’t just be a career path to lobbying www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...
That’s awesome Rob. Well done. 😊

Tax breaks for huge, American-style utes cost the Australian government $250 million in 2023. But it gets worse. Emissions from passenger cars have fallen since 2005, but that drop was wiped out by the increased use of big utes. #auspol
Breaking! We have just found out that the Albanese Government plans to pay hundreds of millions for building houses for US troops and foreign arms companies using a secret AUKUS “cost-sharing” deal with Donald Trump.

Seems they are coming on shore to drill. Right alongside the GOR. ADZ Energy - Enterprise North-1
Yes this will make eating Tasmanian salmon a health risk sooner or later. Over use of antibiotics is already responsible for live threatening reactions when they are used in medicine. This is a major #health issue for humans as well as an environmental #extinction disaster. #auspol
We have a round table that only suits the big $ backers of the government of the day! When that round table tries to get progress the puppets strings get pulled and the round table is packed away for another day. We can’t be getting what we should have. That is a bridge too far.
Minister Watt uses purpose-designed regressive EPBC amendments that "removed the environment minister's ability to reconsider previous decisions if they had been ongoing for at least 5 years, & were approved w conditions that involve state-based regs" to end reconsideration of salmon farming request
The Australia Institute, Dr Richard Denniss, caused a stir by claiming that the government takes more money from uni students through HECS than it collects from the petroleum resource rent tax. Verified by ABC fact checkers. Time to change that. #auspol #gastax #product ...

A mob called ADZ Energy are getting ready to drill for gas within sight and just off the Great Ocean Road. I like how their photo shows the GOR as an old looking dirt track. Google maps shows it uncut. I thought there was a ban on drilling for gas on the Victorian mainland? Must have missed it..!
Heroes are made in Palestine. COWARDS?? They are made in israel. Shame on the whole world to allow the return of Nazism. #IsraeliNazis #PalestinianHolocaust #FinalSolution #auspol
Listened to ex NZ PM Helen Clark on #RNBreakfast today say Israel and its citizens aren’t feeling any consequences from their government’s abhorrent actions. Visa free travel that they enjoy has to be wound back. Sanctions, diplomats called in the whole armory. You can’t kill journalists.
Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.
Greg J Stoker— "He posted 45 minutes ago and now he’s dead. "Kinetic strike. Most likely keyed off his cell phone signal, which the IDF tracks. "To the "journalists" in the West who toe the line with the NYT editorial board. Any words for your colleague?"
Scientists in Vienna have created a leather alternative from mushroom mycelium that’s stronger, more flexible, & more fire-resistant than animal hide.

🚨Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal's "husband" claims are a lie – the couple have been donating together for decades, investigations reveal. The couple’s donations were even overseen and applauded by a sitting NSW Premier... Explosive 👇 theklaxon.com.au/lztu
Elbow Knees e still on his knees grovelling to his masters, the perfect conservative leader of the new and improved ALP aka Alternative Liberal Party.
One of the most damaging implications of cuts like these are how they increase reliance on the private sector. Though not entirely harmful, private sector research inevitably prioritises insular business goals not public ones. This is a retrograde move. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Best wishes. Hope the treatment works wonders for you.
Qld teachers on strike. The last time they went out the gate was 2009. It's not greed, as some media are falsely reporting it. Listen to all of their issues & let's make it better for them. No doubt teachers across Aus have the same issues. #qldpol michaelwest.com.au/not-just-abo...
Francesca Albanese slams the so called ‘Gaza 🇵🇸 Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)’ set up by 🇮🇱 & 🇺🇸: ‘It’s not humanitarian’ ‘It’s not dignified’ ‘It’s not protected’ “It’s a killing machine”
Someone tell Minns to dig up. There was no public safety issue over and above a large crowd. Sydney craps on about crowd sizes at events like football, Vivid and NYE and it's never presented as a problem. Add a cause – and in this case a worthy one – and suddenly it's all doom and gloom.

The SE corner of South Australia is getting closer to the risk of limestone collapse as more water is extracted from the aquifer than being replenished. If that collapse happens the ocean will take over the joint. Wake up state and federal governments.
ACTU Secretary Sally McManus says it's time to "bite the bullet" and reform negative gearing and the capital gains tax to make it easier for young people to enter the housing market.
No truer words have been spoken. 😳👇
