Literacy not an essential skill when you’re beating in people’s heads and abducting them.

The minimum qualifications for joining the MET need looking at…

Qld is a big and divided state.

Brisbane is more progressive on many subjects than other state capitals. But go beyond the Sunshine Coast or down to the Gold Coast and things get weird.

So it lasted only 45 years until the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Citizen’s United into law.

Corridor Crew is like the intellectual version of Mr Beast’s bros.

But way more entertaining, informative, charismatic and fun.

It’s a bribe.

Trying to remember why Fatima Payman was kicked out of the ALP…

Looked like a hostage video.

excellent work now the entire place has been razed to the ground...that said, it wouldn't made a jot of difference what we said - oh by the way we could stop supplying military components to Israel, where's that announcement @albomp.bsky.social ?

If ever there were a reason not to buy a Tesla – beyond them spontaneously combusting, driving off the road or at speed into the back of something – then this would be it.

I think we should take up a collection to bribe one of them..🍺

Australia has upwards of $500b-$1 trillion to spend on war and destruction over the foreseeable future.

We can fund essential infrastructure easily, if we choose to elect a government that will do so.

Not shocking at all.

Israel knows Western Govts – including our own – have issued it with a blank cheque to act with impunity.

And there are plenty of Aussie journos – some, possibly MEAA members – who have been happy to run interference for the regime as it slaughters their colleagues.

Road tax for Australian EV users ‘sensible’, Tanya Plibersek says ahead of key economic summit Treasurer Jim Chalmers has said he is working with states and territories ‘on the future of road-user charging’ for electric vehicles as fuel excise revenue decreases

Federal Labor Govt lays out case for Big New Road Tax by hiking a charge on EV owners.

Do the right thing, Labor slugs you.

Fact: Ratepayers fund nearly 4 in 5km of Australia’s roads. Not Feds.

And excise tax goes to consolidated revenue. Not roads. #auspol

MEAA condemns targeted attacks on Gaza journalists as a war crime as toll nears 200 deaths

Our colleagues Al Jazeera reporters Anas al-Sharif & Mohammed Qraiqeh, & cameramen Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal & Moamen Aliwa have been killed in a strike on a tent for journalists near Al Shifa hospital. They worked relentlessly through bombing & hunger to document this war. Please remember them

Can anyone name a Fascist dictator who died peacefully in his sleep of natural causes in his dotage surrounded by loving family & friends?

Louder for those in the back of the room.

Active voice, please:

“Israel murdered five journalists on Sunday …”

Shorter. Clearer. Actor.

That’s sorta the point, though, isn’t it?

Distract, project and deflect.
