This labor event in Launceston is not a simple policy announcement. Huge numbers. All state pollies , senators and former pollies. ???? About to announce election

Small welcome for the PM in Launceston

as usual T&Cs apply. Read the fine print. It only applies if (big IF) a GP chooses to apply the incentive Now take a deep breath and ask yourself why any business (yes GPs are a business) would take a 33% cut and effectively subsidise healthcare

I don't know what others experience is but I am on a small pension and my GP doesn't bulk bill me with this incentive Think about it. Why would a GP who charges the going rate of approx $100 accept the bulk bill payment of $69.56 meaning a loss of $30? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Yet another rusted that takes the giant leap from a post that critiques a policy to 'you're saying vote for Dutton'.

the whole state needs a good soaking rain but the West Coast needs a big dump to put out the fires Hopefully that WC rain band delivers a big soaking and continues all day.

this seems eerily similar to the antisemitic graffiti attacks in Sydney www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

wowsers. quite a sunset sky from my window to the soul looking east to north. (also looking amazing looking south)

Video from JCA "I would love if the Jewish orgs in Australia spoke for all Jews, Zionists and non Zionists but unfortunately they don't. So we need orgs like the Jewish Council of Australia to speak for us" Thank you JCA & jews who speak up to support Palestine (trimmed for BS 60 s requirement)

and the date on the back of the pic says March 1957. Mum would have been 5-6 months pregnant then. No sign of a baby bump 😯

wow this amazing picture was just posted by a distant relative on a FB group. 1957 at Hendersons Packing Shed in Gravelly Beach. My mum is third from left. I was born 5 years later and we lived in the house next to the packing shed.

while @kudelka.bsky.social has retired his pen & pencil we still have @fionakatauskas.bsky.social to provide clarity

Oh no Chinese warships are exercising their freedom of navigation through international waters just like Australian warships do in the South China Sea

The AJA, the same organisation responsible for distributing the doctored Opera House chant video, has been relentlessly spreading vile, divisive, and racist disinformation every single day—without consequence. Despite their ongoing campaign of deceit and harm, they have yet to be held accountable.

hey Albanese we are in partnership thru AUKUS with the country whose President now blames Ukraine for the war and is seeking 'economic' partnership with the country that ACTUALLY invaded Ukraine. How does that sit with you?

Good morning Launceston from my window to the soul

set up the most of the campaign office today. that's a fair sign that I think the election will be called any day now.

so given that many argued that rising interest rates were a key factor in rising rents then the cut in the official rate will see rents decrease. Right? Yes? Of course?

In light of this decision by the Independent review I cannot see that Commissioner Brereton can continue in his role. He must resign #nacc #auspol www.nacc.gov.au/news-and-med...

finally a news report on Islamaphobia in Oz. Over 15 incidents reported to the register each week vs just over 2 pre Oct 23. I happily bet the incidence of this if far higher than antisemitism. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

a political fix when an environmental fix is required. Pandering to vested interests thinking it might save his skin. #politas #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

you can just imagine what the replies to this post are like. All the usual trope with a whole heap also championing hydrogen (which ain't going to happen)

so the caravan packed with explosives most likely linked to org crime & nothing to do with antisemitism. Minns and Albo were quick to speak out. Will they now quickly say they were wrong?

Fark. It is only 11°C. If this keeps up I'll have to turn on the heat pimp in the middle of summer.

Excellent piece "When history looks back, that last [antisemitism] notion will sound as weird as it is. For now, however, we are in the eye of a hysterical storm, being propelled along by all the institutions of state, and we must just wait it out." theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

barbaric kvnts www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

"if you still haven't said shit about the genocide, your grandkids are going to ask you one day, why!!! Macklemore

I have whipped up a (v) small batch of tommie relish (2 jars) before 8 am (winning). I haven't made relish in over 20 years. I used to make big batches with 10-20 kg of tommies so this is a real experiment. Just guessed quantities. Hopefully delish.

Good morning from my window to the soul. Mt Read, close to the fire grounds, on the West Coast, had 12.8 mm rain since 9am. Let's hope some fell on the fire grounds and has dampened the fires

we are about 200km from the fires on the west coast but we have a thick acrid blanket of smoke over Launceston

Great to see this story picked up by the MSM. How's this for 'social cohesion' ? The mudracking DT trying to create a story. What is Albanese et al doing about the Zionist hate? There are plenty of examples from this bloke to Leibler and the AJA www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Embers falling on Zeehan. Small town. All very old buildings. Small population For reference it is where most of Bay of Fires was filmed www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

imagine using the last sitting week of Parli for this term to ram thru donation/spending laws that favour the duopoly while doing SFA on CoL and housing affordability. Borked priorities

the news from these fires just gets worse. Leatherwood trees under threat A hut lost on the overland track. 😒😪😥😢 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

I stand with Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah who has been unfairly targeted by Zionists and others. Academic freedom must not be compromised by political agendas. If you agree please sign to show your support www.change.org/p/defend-aca...
