1/ Trump Administration officials have reportedly held several secret meetings with Canadian separatists, who are seeking US$500 billion to bankroll their efforts. It suggests that the Administration is interested in breaking up Canada and absorbing the remnants. ⬇️

43 social housing apartments in Ibiza by Peris + Toral Architectes

Built using 20cm thick rammed earth walls, that provide thermal mass, storing excess heat in the summer months and regulating the humidity of the interior air

I don’t understand why @albomp.bsky.social is hesitating to reform. He’s got no opposition. Seize the day! It may never come again.

Fair enough. Balance the pleasure of a few against the safety of many.

A Royal Commission? That just needs more beach houses for barristers.

Someone already proven to be an inspiring leader - any field, science, military, business, public service. Get evidence from those they lead. Note “inspiring”. Which denotes admiral character.

Gun control gun control gun control. Don’t let the conversation get diverted. Gun control protects everyone. #auspol #Bondi

So agree

Why do we have gun clubs? For people who want guns. Why should we make an exception to the general ban? Seems nuts to me. Only people who really need a gun should be licensed to have them eg livestock farmers and professional animal shooters.

Push to tighten our gun laws as we mourn for Bondi and remember the Lindt Cafe horror 11 years ago today. We are many but we are one. #bondi #ozpol

Yes, tighten up the rules that licensed the shooters to have six guns, including apparently semi-automatic ones.

As a comparison, Australian minimum wage is just over $Aus24 an hour ($US16), and our cost of living, with rent factored in, is about 13% less than the US.

Why do churches and religious groups in Australia still have tax exemption status?

“Pull up your socks” “stop dragging the chain” “Shake a leg“ and “crack the whip” Oz.

Magnified by the media I agree, but consider the avalanche of independents taking conservative seats in the last few elections

She’s rich because her father “found” iron ore. For reasons I don’t understand Australia ceded him ownership. Sure, give a finders fee, but Australia should stop giving away our natural resources.

Yes. Someone whose opinion I value worked closely with her many years ago. Not a fan.

China is looking like the only adult in the room. Which is scary, considering China’s attitude to anyone not in the “family”.

Because it’s our side that did it it’s OK is NOT OK. And we no longer know which is “our side”.

The top three stories on every news website in Australia are pure, unadulterated US propaganda, and all it took for Labor to cave to support Trump and Israel’s illegal war was one Hastie press conference. It’s all objectively worse than 2003. Very grim.

Trying to find immediate, accurate, in depth, news reporting in OZ is becoming impossible.

The best were the ones with proper home made mayonnaise. Gee they were delicious. Unfortunately salmonella made an appearance at our local. Backyard eggs are great but there is a reason for food safety laws.

Australians, stay away. Or if you insist on going, don’t take too many clothes! This Aussie girl, married to a US citizen serving in their military, was imprisoned and refused entry. If it could happen to her it can happen to anyone.

We need schools to teach defence against disinformation, like they do in Finland

Trumph; a study in the nihilistic pursuit of power. And tyranny.

He wasn’t worth your effort but you put the story nicely together for others(me) to use. Thank you!

I love your answer. Guess Trenton hasn’t responded. That might take some effort.

Sadly her constituents seem to be still bewitched by Trump’s propaganda
