Yep, it's lending rights season. If you are an Australian author and haven't already please sign up for PLR/ELR so you can earn money from having your books in public libraries. Every little bit of money helps

New authors, here’s my regular reminder about public lending rights payments. This national scheme pays authors for copies of their books in public & educational libraries (over a certain amount). It’s not always a big wad of cash, but it can be very helpful. Info: www.arts.gov.au/funding-and-...

Just got my PLR/ELR statement for the year and it's therefore a good time to remind people that Australians have a Lending Rights system. Authors in Australia get paid Lending Rights if our books are in libraries. Therefore if you borrow books libraries keep them on the shelves and writers get paid

This morning, I'm thinking about how last night, Peter Dutton received the priceless gift of time ... more time to spend with his investment properties. I love that for him :) #auspol

Trump’s America may have been repudiated by Canada and Australia but we’re now highly respected by Russia, North Korea, Hungary, El Salvador and Venezuela, to name a few. So there.

Good job #Australia don't be us,I urge anyone in the #world if you have a candidate that is for trump and wants to be him, do NOT vote for any of those people. Seriously don't be like the USA!

It was invigorating to see ABC journos with no fucks left to give showing the LNP no mercy and cutting them no slack last night. Every time the LNP senator tried to spin the election as “not that bad” they tore him a new one. It was delightful.

The Trump effect was stronger in Australia than in Canada and this result was absolutely a repudiation of the attempt to port over the extreme revanchist right wing nationalism embodied by Trump. There are good Australian journalists and observers of this stuff out there. You can talk to us.

Last week Canada unequivocally rejected Trumpian politics. Australia has just done the same. Fuck Dutton. Fuck Trump. Fuck fascism. We can do better.

As the Australian election approaches I would like to once again remind Australians we have preferential voting. If you vote for a minor party or independent as first preference it is NOT a “wasted vote” because you preference the major you support later. …

A thread. If you're trans, skip it. If you're cis, please read. It won't take long. I'd like to introduce you all to Helen Joyce, one of the key people at Genitals Matter, I'm sorry, Sex Matters, which describes itself as a human rights charity with no trace of irony. 1/

MSM reporting of ‘preferences deals’ reinforces myth that voters have no control on how they vote. Do yourself a favour: Refuse how-to-vote cards on election day. Know the parties & candidates before you enter the booth. At least, know the racists & proxies; put them last. #ausvotes2025 #auspol

This sentence 'Aboriginal people are the most incarcerated on the planet, making up only 4 per cent of the nation’s population but 36 per cent of Australia’s prison population.', written by @clairegcoleman.bsky.social should stop us in our tracks and take our breath away.
