I was working in the Melbourne CBD today and I was absolutely appaled by the violent mobs of racists attacking everyday people. The manager of my office is Sri Lankan and was fearing for his life. Shame on the abc for not calling this what it is - a violent racist mob @abcnewsbot.bsky.social #auspol

Wherever you were born, you are welcome in this country. Thank you for being here!

Good news, beach lovers: our research found 39% less plastic waste around Australian coastal cities than a decade ago

Delete Twitter and tell everyone else you know to do the same. Each person on there is a source of power for him

I take your point, and agree, but it would be better to do this on a geographically accurate map since these areas aren't exactly the most accessible parts of melbourne by PT (particularly as this excludes trams). I'd say the middle and outer suburbs need better access

Yesterday Albo mocked the Greens for their billionaire tax. Simultaneously, Labor secretly made a deal with their "enemies" on the right, to rush thru political donation reform, to make it harder for the independents. The major parties are TERRIFIED of voters finally having quality choices.

Greens are not a major party - they're grassroots and not funded by billionaires and large corporations. That means they're not beholden to the wealthy 1%, they instead listen to their members. That's enough for me!

Horrifying!
