My gift to my fabulous Mattie. Merry Xmas all

In the aftermath of Port Arthur, the ALP put politics aside to unite with PM Howard on gun reform. It unified us and helped us heal.

This is EXACTLY why we voted them out, AUS

Recovering the lost history of Gaza Decades of conflict and displacement have obliterated the history of one of the world’s oldest human settlements

Recovering the lost history of Gaza, by William Dalrymple. Decades of conflict and displacement have obliterated the history of one of the world’s oldest human settlements.

PBS is literally a life saver for so many Australians.

"We can demand that the Australian government does stand up for Australian values.

"Poll after poll indicates that Australians are deeply concerned about Donald Trump & what he is doing in the US."

The role of the United States in the dismissal of the Whitlam Government In 1975, Australia lost more than a Prime Minister — it lost its independence. The CIA’s hidden hand in Whitlam’s dismissal still echoes today.
