If we can help people learn, grow, cope, then we should. Respect, for self, others and our world, equity of opportunity, celebrating life - simple life principles.

Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC.

Let me get this straight:

Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds?

Release the Epstein files.

did Morrison leave all his stupid policies on the PM desk?

this is insanity - have they looked at the census lately

40% of australians are "no religion"

anything that privileges SOME is yet another apartheid segrationist rule coming out the Lodge #auspol

@albomp.bsky.social Your comments re: bed & lie in it - apart from the cruelty & disregard for Aust policy - reveal a disregard for the coercion, forced compliance required by many women - both in Aust & camps overseas to simply exist. You know this to be true. #auspol #Auspol #Bringthemhome

And note the contrast with the protests in Melbourne. People motivated by the same concerns - but in a different policing environment. @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social #FreePalestine #Auspol

She tried to fix the Liberals women problem. But now she’s quitting the party β€” The Age The founder of a key Liberal women’s network has quit the organisation and the party, days after the Liberals’ first female leader was dumped.

So Well Done Angus has squibbed his first chance to be on Insiders (apparently even David Speers is too tough an interviewer for him), sending out Jane Hume in his place #auspol

And of course, this is all about pretending women are important in the Lib/Nats. More spin, and as content revealed, no substance. No change. #auspol

Jane Hume making comments regarding taxation, inflation and housing is laughable and completely lacks credibility.

#LNPDyingParty stuffed up all three while in government. Hume voted against cost of living and housing support. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

The actions of the police are reprehensible- the young person needs medical attention. I hope he is ok. Kidney punching is pure violence. #auspol

This is such a sad and frightening time - to watch our country change and to look into the abyss of what some people in power (Minns) think is acceptable. It is not and we say no. The actions of some police was appalling. #auspol #freepalestine #Albo

This is not what the #FairGo is meant to be, #auspol.

There are dangers for all minorities. We should all be protected equally.

Recent events in #Australia make it clear that isn't true.

#BoorlooTerror showed it again.

International condemnation of new Israeli settlement measures in West Bank grows The United Nations says it is "gravely concerned" over Israeli plans to expand control over the occupied West Bank.

Hey Albo,

Wanna ask your genocidal mate Herzog what this is about?
