Vaccines save 2-3 million lives every year.
They are incredibly safe.

The risk of a serious adverse event after vaccination is ~1 in 1,000,000.

Context:
The risk of dying in a car crash: 1 in 100.
The risk of peanut allergy: 1 in 200,000.
The risk of dying from choking on food is 1 in 2500.

I am struggling to comprehend that I am living in a time when my government (and a Labor government at that), the opposition, the establishment media and other assorted 'social commentators' are telling me to love and support Nazism, now labelled 'Zionism.'

I mean ... no. Fuck off. #GazaGenocide

Every billionaire is a policy failure.

Every defence of billionaires falsely assumes nothing would get invented or built if we didn't have billionaires

And the lines all our nations have allowed Israel to wilfully stomp over will come back on all of us. There is no international law now. No one is safe. Nothing they do matters. You could see 40,000 babies burned in a room and it would barely make a ripple in the mainstream. I’m so, so broken

β€˜A revolving nightmare that wouldn’t end’: The man who ran from Perth to Sydney in 35 days English endurance athlete William Goodge on Monday became the fastest man to cross Australia on foot. But the record came at a terrible physical and psychological cost.

Just amazing and what a tribute to his mother www.smh.com.au/sport/athlet...

Part of 15 minutes of mimicry by a female Superb Lyrebird this morning in Royal NP. Here, she's doing Australian King Parrot, New Holland Honeyeater, Pied Currawong and Eastern Whipbird interspersed with natal calls like the "whistle song" "churring" and "clicking" sounds. #birds #birding #nature

Yes, thought it was very good. I’ve always been a fan of Bob Dylan.
Do we know what Bob Dylan thinks of it?

The decision comes after the traditional Welcome to Country was not performed on Anzac Day.

I said it yesterday - I view Welcome To Country as an act of generosity, a hand extended in friendship

That anyone would reject that hand tells me all I need to know about the quality of that person

We live on beautiful, ancient lands, steeped in the greatest history

I'm truly grateful for that
