Australia is doing well with solar

. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

Geese Glide Effortlessly Beside a Speeding Boat. And Let People Touch Them Mid-Flight!

I’m reflecting on all that has happened this week. It is a mixture of sadness, paranoia, scared, mad, disappointed, and overall a sense of grief. It is a prevalent sense of grief of the inevitable dismantling of our diverse scientific and academic institutions.

"super/collider draws our attention to one of the most surreal natural sights on Earth – the pink lakes of Western Australia, including the stunning Lake Hillier. A true wonder of nature!

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Labor pledges to make 9 out of 10 GP visits free by 2030 and very significant funding increase to Medicare. They would need to get reelected but that could still be with a minority government. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Still like super hero movies?

Gorgeous two wolves.

Wouldn't it be great if our mainstream news media (incl. our "fair and balanced" ABC) reported the facts? 🤔 #auspol #AusVotes2025 #ausecon #inflation

Peter Dutton is NOT your mate!!

Well done SMH, this is how you report lies -as lies

Vote Dutton, get Trump👇🏻

‘“We all know this was a huge systemic failing in public administration. It was overwhelmingly a cultural failing,” Griggs said, acknowledging the harm & pain the #robodebt had caused so many citizens.’ Surely Griggs must take responsibility as Sec. #auspol www.themandarin.com.au/287012-rc-sh...

Pete Buttigieg is right. The major challenge of all progressive parties in government is that they’re tasked with fixing everything, when everything cannot be fixed all at once. And when they don’t fix everything at once, many get disillusioned, ignoring all the good they HAVE done.

6th most signed petition in the country and 53 away from 1000. 21 days to go to have your say on our relationship with the fascist US Govt. www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Has anyone asked Dutton what he thinks of Trump siding with Russia against Ukraine? Since Dutton loves Trump’s Gaza “redevelopment plan”, he should be under pressure to explain his views on Trump’s frankly terrifying pro-Russian stance.

The former director of the ACCC Gas Inquiry is calling for a limit on gas exports. 80% of Australia’s gas is exported. They are draining the system to the point we need to start importing gas, and they price gouge us for the remaining 20%. Calling a duck a duck. #auspol

Photographer Varun Aditya captured this stunning clip of a pride of lions without using a flash. The photographer spent three nights in a hiding place, waiting for the perfect moment.

As truly pathetic as this is, it only helps to confirm that Australian politicians and "institutions" are fully committed to the complete erasure of Palestinians by Israel with the aid of the West. #StopIsrael #FreePalestine www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

This is their plan #auspol

Labor’s economic miracle! While other developed countries have seen unemployment go up, wages come down, inflation still out of control, debt spiralling and services being cut, in Australia Labor has delivered more jobs, wage increases, lower debt, tax cuts & MORE SERVICES!

Another very encouraging set of jobs numbers which show unemployment is still really low at 4.1% & 44k jobs were created in January. This means under @australianlabor.bsky.social inflation is down, wages are up, unemployment is low & now interest rates have started to come down too #auspol #ausecon
