Treacy

Congratulations 🥂

So, last night 4 Corners does an important story about child sexual abuse in child care and Sussan Ley attempts to discredit Albanese about a t-shirt….

Furthermore, there’s a couple of million Australians who have suffered childhood abuse that will affect their lives forever….

But a t-shirt…..

Me too!

Government threatens reprisals after losing key Senate vote The Coalition and crossbench united to extend question time until the government releases a report on jobs for mates.

The Albanese government is upset because the Senate has asked it to release a report into jobs given to mates. It is quite specifically grumpy about answering more questions in question time www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

It’s hard to watch!

CREW: The donor list for the ballroom reads like a cross-section of the most powerful interests in America. On one end, there are corporate giants — Amazon, Apple, Google and Meta — all with significant stakes in federal regulation and government contracts.

You’d think, wouldn’t you.

Maybe they’re slow on the uptake and this will address the apathy.

If 42 million Americans rely on Snap benefits - surely the No Kings rallys can do better than 7 million? 🤔

Thanks for the tip!

Looks idyllic.

Thanks for the inspo, I’m planning some hikes over the next two years and I think I’ll add cycling in China to my bucket list!

😘

😆

TBH my daughter’s 18 so I’m often in Sephora or Mecca with her and it’s hard to resist!

You’re not hopeless - you probably don’t need it!

Yes - I also love the magic cream and Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint (CT).

That’s impressive!

I wear the same lip shade, Charlotte Tilbury 90’s pink (it’s a rose shade) after my favourite Chanel shade was discontinued.

Eye pallets on the other hand…

I’ve still got one but it was from Mecca last year, not sure what I was thinking 😆

So true!

Worse though is when your favourite lipstick shade is discontinued.

Extraordinary!

Wow - I should update that list. Thanks for sharing it. Here's an updated map of independent publishers.

Wow 🤩

“#Rudd created headlines for all the wrong reasons.”
#JaneNorman you’re letting your bias show again. That headline was not created by Rudd but your friends RW/conservatives looking for a gotcha to spoil #Albo ‘s meeting with #Trump.

Errggghhhh.

A notification from Norton advising my details are exposed on the dark web.

Thanks Qantas.

Nice to see you too. I’m mostly offline but pop in every noe and again.

Thankful that you are showing up in my feed 💛

Me too Yvonne - mine’s not arriving until March (apparently due to everyone getting onto the rebates) Happy to wait though.

Fantastic.

With climate trigger axed Labor wants to rush new environmental laws through after ‘positive’ talks with Coalition Proposed timeframe leaves 12 days to scrutinise most significant changes to national environmental protection regime since 1999

The environment minister wants to pass a major re-write of federal nature laws this year, encouraging miners to lobby the Coalition to work with Labor to help rush it through parliament 🤯

Surely it’s coming to a head!?

An unprecedented crackdown on the rights of journalists covering the Pentagon represents a dark day for democracy and should serve as a wake-up call for complacent Australians who take press freedom on our shores as a given. Almost all reporters based at the Pentagon packed their belongings and walked out of the building on Thursday after the Department of War cancelled their passes for refusing to sign up to new conditions that media outlets have described as censorious and “disturbing”. As the Herald’s Michael Koziol reports, the US Department of War wants pass holders to sign a new document that, among other things, stipulates they cannot solicit information that has not been explicitly authorised for release by the Pentagon, exposing reporters to punishment for routine journalism. Even in Trump’s America, where attacks on journalists and outlets are increasing, this is chilling stuff. It is an assault on the fundamental tenets of democracy, and another reminder that the War Secretary, former Fox News contributor Pete Hegseth, is totally unsuited to the role. Readers should not forget that this is the same imbecile who posted highly sensitive military operation details to a high-level government group chat that – unbeknownst to him – included a senior American journalist. However, the fish rots from the head, and President Donald Trump bears ultimate responsibility for this fiasco. Trump has set the tone for hostility towards a free press, and Hegseth is a mere useful idiot to the president’s broader campaign against accountability and transparency. The Herald applauds those outlets which took a stand for journalism by refusing to sign up to the appalling new conditions. Almost every news organisation across the political spectrum refused to accept the Pentagon’s clampdown, including News Corp’s Fox News, the conservative channel Newsmax, major newspapers and TV networks, and newswires such as AP, Reuters and AFP.
