And the ALP is using this massive polling to do nothing.

Important issue that got very little coverage

Before privately run day care mess it was privately run aged care mess.

Took a Royal Commission to tell Labor fedgovt what to do abt it.

Action followed departure of some profit seekers as cost of doing it right cut into their profits.

Privatise for Profit is a sickness. Stop doing it.

Had a Halloween dress-up at work today.

I wore my jeans and company-branded polo.

I was asked why I didn't dress up.

I replied, holding the logo, "THIS ISN'T HORRIFIC ENOUGH FOR YOU"??

This was reported to an on-site manager, and I was instructed not to repeat it.

FFS. No sense of humour.

Abbott’s Australia – specifically, the one that exists only inside his head – is so white it has to be read in the dark.

"This is what happens when you have a political field dominated by one player and a centralised, spoon-fed media. It’s what happens when Australia’s centralised ruling political party answers to nobody but themselves – you get actions and policies that nobody asked for." 🎯 #auspol

Cabin wall.

Test fitting the wall to make sure everything lands on a stud and the plaster is not on a plywood seam. I am also going to add insulation because a sound engineer told me it will make a small difference to the speakers resonance, or something. I stopped listening when he said the first bit…

National anti-corruption chief steps away from all defence investigations The head of the National Anti-Corruption Commission will step away from all defence-related corruption referrals following questions over his handling of perceived conflicts of interest.

NACC chief Paul Brereton steps away from all defence investigations - and the next step needs to be away from the NACC entirely

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Not only is the NACC a disappointment it’s a fucking joke!!.. Ian

Israel supporters SHOULD be shunned and vilified.

JFHC, these people. Always the victim. I hope this is thrown out of court at the get-go. #auspol

PS: Surely you meant "implied," @australia.theguardian.com? NOT "inferred"?

This announcement leaves so many unanswered questions:
- Why is Brereton still a Major-General in the ADF?
- What happens to all the defence referrals he has been working on, and making decisions on, until now?
- Why is he paid over $800k a year not to work on defence referrals?

Not to mention, why is he still head of the NACC?

BREAKING: NACC Commissioner finally bows to public pressure and steps aside from all defence-related corruption referrals.

This is a major-general backdown from Commissioner Brereton who, up until now, tried to stare down the growing public revolt over the conflicts of interest.

I'm sorry, but that not's good enough Paul Brereton.

You need to leave the #NACC completely, then we'll be satisfied.

You were never the right choice for the role in the first place. You've been an utter failure in the role & have compromised the integrity of #NACC

Just a screenshot of my novel Gunnawah on the Amazon webpage showing it's now a Number 1 best seller, which is a ridiculous brag but who the hell else is going to do it for me?

Ahem

Today my debut novel #Gunnawah officially became the Number 1 best seller

That means I'll get a private jet, and a 10 year supply of Grey Goose and Tim Tams, and a marching team of cartwheeling dachshunds and . . . . .

(I'll just get a red sticker on the front cover 😎)

Six frames. Man addressing a woman with a Palestine flag t-shirt and a sign saying STOP THE KILLING. Frame 1: Man says, “If you care so much about humanity, why aren’t you marching for Sudan?” 2. Woman: “can you tell me first: who is the “us” and who is the “them”?” 3. Woman: “Which group should we see as the victim? Which is sub-human?” 4. Woman: “How many weapons or parts are we supplying?” 5. Woman: “Which side controls the narrative? Whose version gets discredited?” 6. Woman: “Now, if you would like to lead the march?”

Stop the killing.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

Looks like Barnaby’s in trouble again, this time for allegedly entering the space of a female staff member & launching a tirade bcoz she asked him to go through the proper process of submitting a form for a request to take leave. How the Nats put up with this guy is beyond me.

The gas industry is ripping us off, and 'it’s been an open secret for years': ACTU ACTU calls for a 25% tax on gas exports to help fix Australia's housing problem

The ACTU is calling for a 25% tax on all gas exports and for the tens of billions it would raise to be invested in public housing…sounds good to me…what do you reckon we should spend all the money we’d get if we stopped giving our gas away for free? #climate

No media about this?

NSW Police investigated 14 incidents of alleged antisemitic attacks and found NO evidence of Iran or any other foreign agent acting in relation to the 14 alleged antisemitic incidences

The Minns and Albanese govts both exploited this falsehood to further their own agendas

This is how serious it is.

Three frames. Intro: “Humans are a funny lot. They make up rules, establish principles, then contort themselves to get around them. Frame 1: Fellow holding IPCC report. “Science says we must act NOW to save the planet!” Below, same fellow lying down legs crossed, writing asterisk on paper from off stage. “But business and politics mean we just put an asterisk in the legislation.” Frame 2: Same fellow, holding page with FOI, NACC ets, says, “A healthy democracy requires transparency and accountability….” Below, bent over backwards, “still, it might destabilise the nation if they knew what govt got up to.” Frame 3: fellow holding bible, “God says every life is sacred and we must not kill…” Below he strikes an awkward pose, “But God wants us to BOMB the CRAP out of those barbarians.”

Contortions.
