OK since it looks like another election I hope the Liberals are on notice from the last one. Do not preselect persons of curious vaccine views who think Tasmanians are ostriches. #politas

🚨 This is massive news. I can't tell you how thrilled I am to hear it. While they've not said anything on the details, we can say with confidence they will now look at matters *other* than the current mutual obligations framework. We can all think of one or two legal issues of that description.

Yet another rise in COVID notifications this week in South Australia. It has gone from 159 at the beginning of May to 313 today. There have been similar rises in WA, Vic, Qld and NSW. Subvariant NB.1.8.1 is taking hold.

Soon enough, ICE (or its associated thugs) is going to start shooting and there'll be full-blown riots. And that will be the rationalisation Trump's been after to declare martial law and suppress protest and the right to assembly.

This is wonderful. And it's the only possible solution - average people taking back control.

Serious #health hazard. Do we all k is which antibiotics? Are the same of similar used in human medicine? If so, expect SERIOUS increase in anaphylactic shock among patients.

Whether Israel is committing genocide isn’t even contentious anymore. The real question is: how did we ever let it get this far? Australia’s Albanese ALP government still won’t condemn Israeli atrocities on par with the Nazis. #auspol

Just a note because I'm seeing some of this stuff, if people like Labor winning seats on Greens prefs in the House they should not complain about One Nation winning seats on RW prefs in the Senate. And vice versa. Cuts both ways.

Australians say Albanese's excuses for failing to: - sign up to the UK, Canadian and French position on sanctions - expel the Israeli ambassador, - commit to uphold ICJ/ICC rulings, and - cease all contracts for weapons components to Israel are not credible. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

#climatechange Where are the Australian voices crying out against the stratospheric emissions being caused by Israeli bombing. No other 'war' has ever caused such enviro damage. We all worry about collapse. Why the silence on Israeli damage-right across the media of all platforms.

I completely agree. The ONLY solution is to act on aggressively climate change. Not being able to afford insurance is only the beginning. Australia could have been a world leader in renewable energy if we had acted when we should have. It’s better to act late than to not act at all.

As the climate and ecosystems collapse and the world descends into fascism, maybe think about whether you should be fighting back instead of tone policing the people encouraging you to. 🤷
