In Australia, 2024 was a big #flu year in terms of hospitalisation numbers during the season's peak, but for mortality, #COVID19 (8.4 deaths per 100,000) resoundingly surpassed #flu (1.9/per 100k; in 2017, rate was 4.2/100k) overall* *numbers from the FluCAN sentinel hospital sample

Mark Dreyfuss perplexes me - I thought he was for transparency? Why did it take so long? Rex Patrick persisted in his FOI requests and as a result, we have insights into Morrison and Porter’s roles in Sports Rorts. #auspol michaelwest.com.au/scott-morris...

The great Marcia Langton rips into Dutton for his overt racism, esp for his dismal attacks on our First Nations people. A man with hatred but no policies, prejudice but a track record of failure as Minister, divisive even within his own party- remember he spilled on Turnbull…& we got Morrison.

They detained a US citizen in a warrantless raid of brown people. This is for my relatives who told me they were only going after the "criminals". These were working people. Paying taxes. Even US citizens getting arrested for not showing their papers. www.axios.com/2025/01/24/i...

There’s a conversation that needs to happen on the left about disinformation. Too many are willing to hold the right accountable for it, but let it slide around on the left. Pingers has a new TikTok exemplifying its pervasiveness. (too long to post & not my story to share, but link at bottom). 1/

Extremist, misogynistic haters have no place in Australian parliament. This is hideous stuff from Babet. Calling a woman “thing”, “witch” and “demon” is beyond offensive. I hope the senate condemns this filth.

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity. A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
