Thugs, bullies, drunks, and rapists abounding. Australians deserve better. Vote independent for greater integrity in our Parliament. #Auspol

"The government needs to get serious about mental health in this country and can and should be doing a lot more. Instead we have a government that would rather keep people in poverty and then deny them access due to cost for the healthcare they need."

Australia’s media and marketing sector remains largely unaware of major privacy changes that took effect in December 2024, even as global evidence shows regulators can enforce new laws within days www.mediaweek.com.au/privacy-refo...

Read this article. If you don;t understand it, ask for clarification. We have preferential voting for a reason, and it's NOT to choose between only two parties. Time to use it.

ANYWAY, sorry, here's a bird. Pause and regard the bird. The bird is happy, for the bird has found a peanut. May we all find the small joy of finding a tasty snack today. (photo by me)

Really missing humour in posts, generally. I know it’s a dystopian hellscape rn, but finding something to laugh about might save someone’s life today!

I’m old enough to remember being told it was antisemitic to suggest that the israeli regime would intentionally bomb a Gaza hospital. Now they’ve bombed every Gaza hospital, and even patients being treated in tents. #auspol

This week at Mt Gibson, we're conducting a trapping survey to check in one the reintroduced Red-tailed Phascogale population. Here's on stopping to take in its surroundings after being released back into the wild. #WildOz

Sussan Ley's failure to mention one word in her Australia Day address speaks volumes Convicts, barbecues and Captain Cook all got a namecheck in Ley's January 26 address. Omitting Blackfellas continues a dangerous denial of history, writes John Paul Janke. www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article...

Two young Victorian men who were involved in the attempted importation of more than 100 kilograms of cocaine into South Australia have been sentenced to three years in jail with a non-parole period of 18 months.

I’ve been reading reports about the many crises that young people are dealing with at the moment, and among the very serious, I was struck with how sad it is to have to live at home for your entire 20s - so I wrote about sharehouses for @australia.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is what we all should remember.

I’ll say. 🙄🤨
