The fact Govts aren’t funding anything that meets the definition of Indigenous suicide prev’n doesn’t seem to ring alarm bells.No measured outcomes.Nothing on the complex treatment side. All my data driven, client centred publications completely excluded from all “best practice” reviews.Wonder why?

Will we ever get a government with the guts to do the whole job? Confront the past and its ongoing impact, confront the present and its ongoing impact, join the dots, tell the truth, read the research, listen, and let First Nations lead in going forward? I live with hope.

Peter Lalor - who was sacked as a cricket commentator at SEN because the sound of his voice “made people feel unsafe” - donated his final pay cheque to UNICEF. Another decent person paying a high price for showing concern about children being bombed.

This was the most interesting conversation about where we are in the world right now that I have had since Trump and Musk upended the Monopoly board & stole all the money. Have a watch.

Great. Now all we have to do is convince Labor to ditch AUKUS, stop approving fossil fuel projects, tax fossil fuel companies appropriately, and tax churches, and the LNP will match it so as to kill off an election debate over the policy. Apparently that’s how things work sarcasm font 🙄

Angus Taylor releases the LNP Health Policy, it’s the ALP’s policy. I don’t give a fuck what this idiot says. But I do give a fuck about the $80 million purchase of water rights he approved to EAA, a company linked to his past business interests. How is this guy still in parliament #auspol #NACC

The ABC is so corrupted by years of rightwing whiteanting that this sort of biased framing is where we are at. On purpose or instinctive? Who knows, but it needs to be called out.

So Dutton reckons he’ll match Labor’s spending on Medicare. So I sent him this🤣🤣🤣Ian

When the media reports that Dutton "wrongly says" they SHOULD report "Liberal Leader Peter Dutton deliberately LIED" (given Dutton served as Home Affairs Minister and KNOWS that people must be lawful residents for 4yrs before they can even apply for citizenship and then vote.) #auspol #AusVotes2025

As PM Albanese announces his game-changing #Medicare news, here’s a reminder that 11 years ago, as Health Minister, #Dutton desperately tried to introduce a $7 GP co-payment ‘price signal.’ Let’s send #TemuTrump & the Libs a very special vote-signal 🖕 at the election. #AusPol

If you call Zelensky a dictator, you're insulting the entire Ukrainian people. Ukrainians are literally famous for toppling dictators. This war is happening precisely because they ousted one 11 years ago, and they've been bleeding terribly for it ever since.

Dutton’s vision for Australia raises concerns: a landscape devoid of compassion and accountability. Is this the future we desire, where the strong prey on the weak? Let’s advocate for a society rooted in empathy and justice. Together, we can build a fairer Australia. CompassionMatters #FairAustralia

Aside from it being a standard Johannes nepo-turdsplat, why would they assume that all these (fictitious) immigrants are likely to vote ALP? They’re basically conceding that the Liberals are the party of racism.

"I won't give ongoing commentary on everything that Donald Trump says" But Albanese can no longer pretend that an upending of US foreign policy doesn't matter to Australia. #AUKUS was a dangerous and costly folly before Trump. Now it's catastrophic. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

When I began to report on the relationship between insurance and climate change, Australian insurance companies were scared to talk about CC directly due to hostility from the then Coalition government. They preferred to send a message obliquely as premiums rose. Maybe that was a mistake.

No one cares if you like him or not, but come on start thinking like an American President. Your comment is a betrayal of U.S. interests and longstanding foreign policy. Blaming Zelenskyy plays directly into Russian propaganda.👇
