Building a new section/emergency department of the Canberra Hospital hasn’t fixed or will it fix the underlying problems we have always faced with Canberra hospitals. You can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig. #Canberra

The New Zealand Labour Party says it will not join Australia, the UK and the US as part of AUKUS if returned to power at the next election in 2026 Party leader and ex-PM Chris Hipkins says if elected, he woud “restore New Zealand’s proudly independent foreign policy”

Even the frog is taking a break from the rain.

This is so intensely awful. Santos is Australia's ExxonMobil - one of the meanest, most aggressive and bloody-minded fossil fuel companies in the country. They're obsessed with suing their critics into the ground, and they're winning.

#BREAKING 🚨 The under-16s social media ban has passed the Senate – although it won’t take effect for at least 12 months The entire crossbench, as well as two Coalition senators, voted against the bill, with the final vote standing at 34 to 19 Parliament returns in 2025

Possibly the last sitting day of the Senate. We could go into an election at the beginning of the year & our legend of a Senator addressed his last speech to thank his family, staff & Ken Behrens. Let's make sure, this is not his last, we are lucky to have him as our ACT Senator. #Canberra #Pocock

Any female that had him as a PE teacher, are not surprised by this.

Who remembers Canberra's 1981 Tourism commercial. #Canberra #ACT #KenBehrens #Capital

Any female that had him as their PE teacher, is not surprised by this… there was so many rumors back then. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

Watching the Social Media Minimum Age inquiry. This is colossal failure by the Labor government. Unsupported by evidence, nearly impossible to enforce, riddled with privacy risks, unworkable exceptions, and exposes major flaws in Labor's capability and competence.

I love this.

“The evidence base for the underage social media ban is poor – and yet it’s that bill being rushed through parliament, not the partial gambling ad ban, much less the full ban.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

When did Black Friday sale become a whole 2 week thing? Even Woolies is having a Black Friday sale.

Senate is the house of review, our job is to scrutinise The govt has 30 bills for next week & they’re prioritising mis/dis bill first - will not pass & will just waste time We should sit in Dec & pass stuff like housing, grocery code, student debt www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

In the early months of the NACC, one of its chief integrity officers saw the writing on the wall and quit. There were alarm bells, they told colleagues, and hints that the new executive didn't grasp the heightened responsibility of their roles. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

Govt openly admitting it wants to entrench the two-party system 🤯 But communities around the country want to see more competition & authentic representation 🇦🇺ns pay the price for duopolies & lack of competition www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

#labor wants to kill #palmer and slow down the #greens, and the #coalition wants to kill the #independents and slow down #OneNation. it’s like, ‘you help me kill my enemy, and i’ll help you kill yours’.

I couldn't sit by and not say anything on the government's plan to expedite a poorly planned social media ban. Education is the answer, not simply burying heads in the sand in the name of protecting kids. Teach them. That's the answer. So I wrote this. #auspol

"Sneaky, excessive and unjustified" No wonder the major parties don't want any parliamentary scrutiny of their Financing Elections Bill. What Emeritus Professor Anne Twomey said👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

the two major parties are ramming through a massive funding increase for themselves and a host of measures that'll advantage them over everyone else. let them know you've had a gutful — sign @jacquilambie.bsky.social's petition 👇 lambienetwork.com.au/pages/electo...

POV: the ENTIRE senate crossbench voting for parliamentary scrutiny of 400 pages of electoral reform that doesn't commence until 2028 Major parties teaming up to oppose & hide from scrutiny their desperate attempt to maintain the duopoly.

We need to see a massive improvement to Canberrans access to essential health services. Whether it's GPs, specialist or public surgery wait times we have to do so much better. I will continue to push this now and into the next election campaign. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

Finally, a place to go for all Ken Behrens to go in the city #canberra #kenbehrens

People that create accounts using celebrities/sports personalities full names so they can’t use them are just weird and creepy.

Drove past some hot and sweaty road workers earlier and my first thought was … ‘I wonder what the melanoma rate is with Aussie road workers’…. Think I’m getting old.

Me: ‘it’s a beautiful Saturday morning!’ Donut:

Let the weekend begin! Another working week over means getting closer to my favourite time of year! Ordered all my Christmas lights, organising all the Christmas events for work and on top of that, my favourite boss and his amazing wife had a beautiful baby this week!
