Victoria Brownworth was such a wonderful presence & inspiration to so many - so sad to hear she isn't coming home. What a fighter. This image from X where she was much followed, admired and always so kind to all.

RFK Jr's "MAHA" report is filled with references to studies that literally do not exist, or that completely misinterpret the studies' findings. “We did not publish a paper.. on this topic with that co-author group, or with that title,” says one cited researcher. www.notus.org/health-scien...

Have just spent a couple of very enjoyable hours dipping into these for the umpteenth time. Every primary school teacher needs to read them, not just English leads! @suchmo83.bsky.social explains things with such clarity and purpose.

I just watched the full version of this story and it’s one of the most sickening things I’ve ever seen. ABC had to start it with a content warning because it contained such distressing images of malnourished and injured children.

karen wyld having her fellowship rescinded by state library of queensland, seemingly at the behest of the qld minister for the arts, bc of her support of Palestine is a) fucked, and b) another reminder that without true autonomy and resources, Indigenous communities will always be under the thumb.

Is the Oz going to go after large swathes of the Australian writing community?Some of us were in Melbourne with the admirably principled Aviva Tuffield last week. To be absolutely clear, we are opposed to the actions of the Israeli govt in Gaza.

Bemused at all the talking/writing about “how to fix the Liberal Party”. Like, whose problem is it to fix? Indeed, is it even a problem? Only if you’re them. “Be less like you!” Does anyone take that advice? I say let them work it out.

I’m trying to avoid Meta this week so you will all have to out up with photos of things I bought for the house lately. Number 1: this concrete darling who is probably meant to be an Aristo-cat but who I prefer to think is Mewsette from Gay Purr-ee.

Angus Taylor is apparently a front runner to lead the Liberal party. Other than being the village idiot and sabotaging this election with his utter incompetence as shadow Treasurer, let’s take a walk down memory lane to recall just a few of the incidents that make Angus Taylor very unfit to lead 1.

I’m a newbie to Tasmania but it seems to me that the visceral loathing people here have for the state government had a big part to play in the Liberals trouncing.

Angus: Well, Donald Trump, I’m going to say this once—and I might never say it again—I want to thank you. I want to thank you for bringing Canada together. It took a malignant narcissistic slug like you to make us put aside all our differences

BREAKING THREAD: 1. Cost of living’s at forefront of #auspol election, so 4 Corners did deep dive into the PM & Opposition Leader’s finances. Analysing complicated document maze, we found Peter Dutton failed to declare to parliament he was beneficiary of family trust. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Because a Nazi booed a Welcome to Country on Anzac Day, Channel 7 decided debating Welcomes to Country was a valid question. Once again the racist Australian media shows where it stands.

The outrage over WelcomeToCountry is a cynical ploy by Peter Dutton, exploiting Australia’s racial tensions for votes. It’s laughable that a respectful acknowledgment of Indigenous custodianship has become a political battleground. This isn’t leadership; it’s divisive pandering. Focus on real issues

So the “low tax” party is now openly campaigning on raising income taxes? To fund defence? Not cost-of-living relief? Not health? Dutton’s not running for PM — he’s running for Treasurer of a war fantasy. Austerity in camo. Delusion in a suit #auspol
