Looks promising. Truffle Brule? 🤞Planted 12 years ago and neglected since. Need to hire a pig!

They can start the Truth Telling by admitting it was Genocide. I have had that argument with Dr Clements in the past. More recognition of Palawa please, but be careful of those who would legitimise the colonial atrocities by the threat of Palawa agression. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Just leaving this here.

Thread: update on the State Library of Queensland & QLD government's unethical rescindment of my Black&Write Fellowship, with references to their letter that I received today; and a call for action:

Quiet please. I am eating my turnips and the sun is shining.

Reconciliation. My @smh cartoon.

My column today's @themercurycomau - Australia's failure to impose sanctions on Israel is reprehensible

I had a grumble about three days ago, saying our little Japanese Maple was being very slow to turn this year - AND CLEARLY IT HEARD ME 😂

National Sorry Day is a powerful reminder of the work still ahead. Today, Indigenous children are being separated from their families at the same levels as the Stolen Generations Sorry without agreed actions and outcomes means that we continue to repeat the past.

Feeling so loved and appreciated looking at this open letter, and seeing the names on it. Blak solidarity is an act of resistance! overland.org.au/2025/05/open...

@senatorwong.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social And we won’t even expel an ambassador or put sanctions on these murderers? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

An Israeli air strike on the Musa bin Nusair School in Gaza City has killed at least a dozen Palestinians, including children and a pregnant woman. The school had been sheltering forcibly displaced families.

20 year reunion just gone on Saturday. Bit of nostalgia. Had a good day. Have been quite social this year so far and making sure I leave the farm at least once a week! The jumper still fits too.

4 flowers out of 2000 bulbs. No frost in March-April, so no saffron. Next year will try pre-chilling before planting but looks like time to focus elsewhere. Warming temps mess with chill hours that some plants need. 🌱

one thing I respect about medieval beekeepers is their total commitment to looking like Doctor Who villains

I stand in solidarity with Palestinians who are commemorating the Nakba today. The Israeli Government’s continuing genocide in Gaza is an extension of the Nakba, despite Palestinians having every right to self-determination and to live in peace. #auspol #politas

"The mutton birds have become so full of plastic their bellies crunch & crackle with the sound of it." @SenatorSurfer told me about this a few weeks ago. If this is not another wake up call for our rampant destruction of this planet I don't know what is www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Never forget how many of those advising the ALP are patting themselves on the back for ensuring the govt did nothing in this. “Not an issue/we made sure it hurt the Greens” Those doing so are truly putrid. At best excusing murder, at worst cheering for it. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

What is the charge? Providing a meal, a succulent mushroom meal? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Relieved Dutton’s out? Handy reminder: Albanese’s Labor government is, at best, complacent, at worst, complicit in Israel’s genocide. Gaza is being bombed, starved, ethnically cleansed. Voting out morally bankrupt leaders isn’t enough—we must still hold power to account for the most vulnerable.

It's time to hold unprincipled politicians accountable. Vote them out, and support candidates who align with our Australian values of humanity. #auspol #voteforhumanity

AN URGENT CALL TO ACTION FOR INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS & SHARE WIDELY Jilya’s founder, psychologist & Nyamal woman, Dr Tracy Westerman AM says: “true leadership means you take a stand for others more than you take for yourself”. This is THAT moment. Will you join us? www.change.org/p/urgent-cal...

😂😂🤣🤣👍🏾

"Australia stood by while plans unfolded to simply push the whole population of Gaza elsewhere and take their land, plans which are now being implemented. "This is beyond hypocritical. It is an abrogation of every principle of justice—" johnmenadue.com/post/2025/05...

Excited to announce Jilya has been shortlisted in two categories in the NSW Literary Awards; the UTS Glenda Adams Award for New Writing & Indigenous Writers Award-with Indigenous writers taking out book of the yr multiple yrs running its an incredible category to be in! ❤️

As promised, here is a free link to my OpEd on Intimate Partner Violence. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/20621/... I hope this provides a much needed evidence based approach to this is complex issue.One that belongs in the hands of those who understand the it from a position of science, of data

At @australia.theguardian.com— "Welcome to Country booed at Melbourne dawn service" Also— "Denied citizenship by the country he died for, this Anzac Day Aboriginal war hero Bill Allan is being honoured BY FRANCE" Australia is a racist shithole. #auspol www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ap...

My OpEd on intimate partner violence in Indigenous communities will be published by The Sat Paper tomorrow. I’ll post it here.My hope is it will change racially charged attitudes that have informed too much govt policy-&ensured our most vulnerable victims (Aboriginal women) remain more vulnerable

A minority Labor government (whether with Greens or independents) has long been the subject of intense scaremongering in the mainstream media and from the duopoly parties, which is perhaps the best reason to barrack for it.
