Just listened to a great audio documentary on ADHD. Focused on the UK but just as relevant here in Australia. Refreshing to hear balanced reporting of the current issues around stigma, diagnosis, treatment and access to health services. #ADHD #neurodivergence www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

As the next Federal Election approaches, misinformation from senior Liberals is increasing alarmingly. 'Lame-stream' media lets Angus Taylor's lies go unchecked ~ Alan Austin

What happens if a hung Parliament is elected at the forthcoming federal election in Australia. What is the role of the Governor-General, and the conventions that govern the appointment of a Prime Minister. #auspol youtu.be/UofNtFFLLAE

A good news story and gorgeous artwork…

Clive Palmer’s political party “Trumpet of Patriots” has just released its campaign poster.

Australians, please reflect on our values and don’t let oligarchs and the media dictate our future. We do not want to emulate what’s happening in the US. #equality #equity #HumanRights #ClimateChange #auspol

I said this in a keynote address FIVE YEARS AGO Well, we now have 64 of them spread across the country, and we won’t stop until we have thousands. #ArmyBuilt ❤️🖤💛 Support our cause by donating here: thejilyainstitute.com.au/donate/

I can’t pretend i’m not disappointed. 764 signatures and I am so thankful for every one and for all of the incredible Blue Sky peeps who have relentlessly shared & pushed. 24 days to go and we have to get a move on if parliament is to take this seriously #auspol www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Time to lighten the mood ... Way hey hey! A silver gull conducting an inelegant approach 😆

#auspol I’ve decided I’d like to help the women in my Women Who Get It feminist community to vote with their eyes wide open in 2025. So I’ve created an email template to ask candidates for the federal election about the stance on #WomensRights & #GenderEquality. DM me if you want it.

Tomorrow at 9am, instead of rage tweeting about Insiders and ruining a pleasant morning, we're launching The Sunday Shot. The excellent @rachelwithers.bsky.social and @anthonyklan.bsky.social will join me and Jo Dyer to unpack heinous happenings. Greg Sheridan will not be involved in any capacity

This is pretty outrageous. Ending violence against women must be a priority, that means proper funding. We need real investment in all parts of the prevention & response system. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/889191...

Voting for a major party is just voting for the lesser of two evils This election we truly have a chance to put an end to their BS like today's striking a cosy deal on electoral reform to water down our democracy Put the major parties last 🐝 #auspol #qt www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

A midweek trip to Sydney for David Sedaris. How awesome is our habour?

Pleased to have achieved my gardening goal today before the storm. Compost and mulch on a neglected garden bed. Also put a few more plants in, including Echinacea purpurea. #gardening #HerbGarden #flowers #MedicinalPlants #BloomScrolling

I’m fascinated by herons. Not sure why. There’s something really peaceful about them.

Having a break from gardening and scrolling the Birds feed…
