Australia's global share of corruption small, wouldn't change the world if we ignored it
And, poverty? A small share, so let's not worry
The housing crisis, too. Not most of us, so let's keep negative gearing
Aus share of global CO2 emissions minor

Action on these issues benefits Australians

Why on earth do we suddenly care so much about what the Nationals Party are thinking. Irrelevant minor party easily swayed by the wind. Oh I mean coal, or what ever it is Gina wants this week…

Soo cool. I want to sail there. Not sure the kayak will make it

Just to demonstrate how much worse it's going to get: O'Neill ensured Woodside quickly became Australia's ExxonMobil. Constantly playing dirty, attacking activists and campaigners, just living in the worst muck. I hope BP's ready to get muddy.

Ah good to know you are well prepared. Except with snow, can’t you just put the food in the snow - no freezer required? Or maybe the bears come or the moose or something ?

Good morning @leesylou.bsky.social my other Alaska contact informs me you have a good load of snow coming your way. Hope you have lots of cans of beans or what ever it is you do for breakfast there

A Banksy artwork about injustice found on a wall near a courthouse in the UK has been washed away by authorities, except a dark foreboding silhouette remains, showing a ghostly figure with a hammer threatening a small man on the ground holding a sign or perhaps a tool.. the clean up has turned the picture into something new and striking

The state appears to be struggling at washing away injustice

excellent read- phoenixing is a gold mine for dodgy company directors and urgently needs to be shut down.

Occasionally, it occurs to me that one day I will have to despatch my assassins to remove this upstart challenger, lest the world realise they have younger, smarter, much handsomerer alternative to my shitposting as a service. I think that day has arrived.

The results are in: ✅ The Greens’ ‘right to disconnect’ laws are good for workplace productivity and employer engagement.

Remember then all those employer groups (and the Coalition) were acting like the sky would fall in 🤣
