Listening to Hamish interview #Train Driver Rep., his bias is heavy. It’s so defensive. The intelligence and skill of Sarah Mac. was clearly uncomfortable for the #ABC Hamish is lovely but pre-recorded, rehearsed and edited is his natural habitat. @katrinapalmer.bsky.social

god I miss Sarah MacDonald! #ABC #Radio #myABC

Our Good Trouble homework assignment on The Daily Beans podcast tomorrow has to do with this.

"As of Tuesday, January 21, she will be one of more than 200 staff specialist psychiatrists working in public mental health in NSW to resign, facing an uncertain future." Excellent reporting on state's public psychiatry crisis by @biancanogrady.bsky.social www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/health/...

NSW government in 11th-hour bid to postpone mass resignation of psychiatrists

Please. Australia. Quit. AUKUS. AUKUS was a Morrison brainfart that has gone too far and has already cost us billions with zero to show for it. So many ills Australia faces now could be fixed with the money that has been allocated to Morrison’s idiocy. 👇👇👇

I will donate to a development fund for Bluesky to build a Facebook equivalent. Please share this skeet if you would, too.

Cathy Wilcox never misses. Spot on as usual

Absolutely.

Forced birth is a terrible evil. It turns women into containers, reducing them to the moral & legal equivalent of a handful of cells. Women do not lose their individuality, their history, their hopes, dreams or their human rights when they become pregnant.

Staff at a hospital in northern Gaza say the building has been surrounded by Israeli forces and they are being ordered to evacuate along with all patients, after reports of a nearby airstrike that the local health ministry said killed about 50 people

@chrisminnsmp.bsky.social consistently tries to pit the people against low paid essential service workers. His Govt try to blame #Nurses & #Midwives for the disruption of strikes that the #nswpol forced & now it’s the people Vs #train drivers .. again forced by Minns Govt. Disgusting spin at play

Christmas Carol. My @smh @theage cartoon.

My local MP is pushing more misinformation on Facebook, telling people nuclear power "will deliver cheaper, cleaner and consistent energy". Below is my response. Feel free to plagiarise it in responding to your own coalition MPs when they try the same. (1/6) #auspol #EnergyAus

If Gina owned the sun, Dutton would support solar. #auspol #nuclear #renewables #energy #fossilfuels #ClimateAction

Join your union…

The new ABC CEO is the same Hugh Marks who hosted a $10,000 a head Liberal Party fundraiser at Nine's headquarters. Wow. We'll now have a middle-aged white male who supports conservative causes in charge of the ABC. What a refreshing change. I mean . . . I can hardly wait.

'Political reporter' Isobel Roe just delivered an infomercial for the Coalition's energy policy on ABC 'News Radio'. This followed a 'report on the rise of antisemitism in Australia' which consisted largely of a monologue by Peter Dutton. Then it was a gushing welcome to LNP fundraiser Hugh Marks.

It has begun again. We must all brace for the onslaught of "when the wind don't blow and the sun don't shine" ... #Duttonnuclear and when it's a cold day - empirical evidence that global warming is a woke myth

Peter pan's Nuclear Neverland has been revealed.

“Peter Dutton has become a mouthpiece for the fossil fuel industry – not Australians. His promotion of nuclear energy – a far more expensive and slower option than renewables – is nothing more than a smokescreen…” theaimn.com/the-perils-o...

Just remember no one in the LNP outside Ted O’Brien actually thinks they’ll deliver nuclear power. Most don’t even care so long as they have a policy that means more coal for a lot longer.

#NSW they’re your hospitals. It’s your #health service & it’s dwindling fast because #Nurses & #Midwives are leaving for other States at a rate I’ve never seen before. Please sign for equal pay, to keep your Health & Aged Care services from collapsing www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/la/Pages/ePe...

#Newcastle to #Sydney #train is $4 BILLION unusable CURRENT: Ongoing..issue with a freight train earlier at Kotara AND an issue with a freight train at Cardiff. Large gaps between services can be expected flow on delays will be experienced’ @abcnewsaustralia.bsky.social @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social

CSIRO Gen Cost report released today show nuclear twice as expensive as renewables. !! @SmartEnergyCouncil #energy #nuclear #renewables #auspol

Wild that Australian news keeps verbatim quoting Netanyahu without routinely adding that's he's genocidal piece of shit responsible for murdering tens of thousands of children. By all means, quote what he says, but I guarantee, whatever it is, the baby-killing context is more important.
