Cartoon- scene is two billboards beside eachother. First billboard has pic of Albanese grinning with thumbs up & says "Labor: Bound to Disappoint" Second billboard has pic of Dutton grinning with thumbs up & says "Coalition: You have NO idea how low we'll go" Two people are looking at the billboards with one saying "I"m all for truth in political advertising but it CAN get a bit depressing."

ICYMI- yesterday's #auspol cartoon from The Guardian

Not been here much of late so I thought I'd share a few photos from beautiful Lombok, Indonesia. The mountain is Mt. Rinjani, the largest in the Indonesian archipelago

Nothing like spending quality time with my daughter, and some dear friends

Any word from The Australian Medical Association or the various medical colleges about the Israeli devastation of Gaza hospitals and the targeted killing of doctors, nurses and staff ?

😢Don’t mention the war . I read AlJazeera online everyday and then read abc Perth . Like living in a different world . More interest in the weight of a tragic teenager from a wealthy Perth burb than the death of 42,000 in Palestine .

Melbourne weather here in Makhanda. My luggage was way over limit because I wasn't sure about packing only summer clothing. I was right

National disgrace

A child at 10:
· Loses 4 baby teeth a year
· Knows the complete date
· Can name the months of the yr in order
·Can read & understand a paragraph of complex sentences
·Has developed skills in addition, subtraction
·Has some skills in multiplying & division,
And, in Aust, can go to prison

I acquired a taste for these during my time living here. They seem to be unique to the coloured community here. I've never seen them in Perth, even in shops specializing in SA food

It also gives the lie to those horrible sadists on horseback who say it's about pest control. They introduced them in order to hunt them...

You will never regret it

Yes, I did. I've also used a block pack for all the Nazis

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

Please be nice to each other.

We’re all doing our best.

Headline from "The Forward" which states "This 94-year-old Holocaust survivor recommended arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders" with the sub headline "Much has been said about Amal Clooney's role on the ICC's panel on war crimes, but less attention has been paid to Theodor Meron."

It's giving gerontocracy

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A pretty shameful oversight that at last night’s Walkley Awards there was no mention of the record numbers of journalists who have been murdered by the IDF over the past year.

These announcements are satire. SURELY.

I'm emailing out cartoons like this one every weekday. Sign up to join in the fun because at this stage we have to laugh or we'll cry

The Three Wise Monkeys…

Sally Rooney: When are we going to have the courage to stop the climate crisis? Capitalism is driving the destruction of our planet. We have to think outside – and against – the framework of our current political system

Sally Rooney: “Multinational corporations are destroying Earth for profit. If we want real change, we have to be willing to threaten those profits.”

I’m so glad the left finally has a safe place where we can organize and strategize and love each other because boy howdy do we need it.

A Comment on Connolly on Mill on Colonialism In 1897, the famous anti-colonial marxist James Connolly chose as the epigraph for his pamphlet, Erin’s Hope: The Ends and the Means, a short passage written by the English liberal John Stuar…

“…the regimes of exploitation established under colonialism normally displace pre-colonial forms of collectivism & egalitarianism that continue to serve as, at once, a bitter memory of what has been taken away & an ideal of a possible future with enduring appeal…”
