It's good to relax with a well earned drink after yet another hard day supporting children being murdered. #auspol

Backyard already wet?

But wait, there's more 🌧️

Australia about to see more record rainfall and flash flooding.

Albanese says Australia supports US action against Iran and stands with the Iranian people’s ‘struggle against oppression’ Department of foreign affairs warns travellers of risk of reprisal attacks, further escalation and flight cancellations in Middle East

Albanese actively standing up and volunteering to loudly defend the bombing of girls schools feels like a defining moment of his tenure

Yep, love Australia's preferential voting system. Plus voting is compulsory 😀 which can get much better results.

As an Iranian in exile as some call it, I want nothing more than a regime change in Iran.

But what I don't want is my country destroyed, people killed, and all looted by Americans!

Pahlavi dynasty are not Persian nobility.

Installed by Brits in 1925, Pahlavi shahs ran an authoritarian state. Oil made them rich.

Threats to nationalize oil brought western interference.

SAVAK quashed dissent, helped by US & Israeli.

Plus ça change.

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.

Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program.

A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".

Unreal.

Hard to argue

Internet connectivity in Iran is now in a near-complete shutdown, down about 98% vs the previous week. The disruption began around 07:00 UTC, following reports of military strikes — and in past incidents the government has responded with nationwide Internet shutdowns.

Chronic ocean heating fuels ‘staggering’ loss of marine life, study finds Fish levels fall by 7.2% with as little as 0.1C of warming per decade, northern hemisphere research shows

Rising ocean temps blamed for massive die-off of marine life. "Researchers examined the year-to-year change of 33,000 [fish] populations in the northern hemisphere.... They found the drop in biomass from chronic heating to be as high as 19.8% in a single year." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Chris Minns' stormtroopers. Guns for graffiti, silence for the dead - Michael West Chris Minns' NSW government is creating a policing unit of around 250 officers, prioritising hate crimes above other violence.

#Minnsolini's warped priorities don't encompass protection of women from domestic violence or preventing organised crime. Instead he ramps up violent police power for one tiny demographic group.

“AUKUS’s main game is the base that Australia intends to give to the US at HMAS Stirling in Western Australia.”

I don’t think this can be right. No-one is silly enough to pay $368B to the US to let them use our base. #auspol

Hoping Michelle Milthorpe will get up this time.

Why a teals party is a bad idea

"On current trajectories, progressive independents are set to win a record haul in 2028," writes Richard Denniss. "Indeed, independent Michelle Milthorpe is already a good chance of winning former Liberal leader Sussan Ley’s once-safe seat of Farrer." satpa.pe/RA6J1Dd
