This is Kevin Rudd's 2020 vision panels all over again. And we know how that turned out. Come on, @albo, you've got a mandate to do what you know needs to be done. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

The bird dance for the ages

Sometimes Iโ€™m just like everything is so dumb and stupid what is the point and then I see Big Bird in a Larry Bird jersey and itโ€™s like wow the world is beautiful and worth fighting for

Well done to Nicolette Boele for winning the seat of Bradfield by 27 votes! Liberal Gisele Kapterian had already started sitting in the Liberal Party caucus and had already voted for Sussan Ley as leader. One less vote for Ley means one more vote for Angus Taylor! Watch this space ๐Ÿ‘€

When warnings of Insectageddon were issued a few years ago, there was widespread denial. Less so now. It's devastating. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Not been well this week & have been thinking about my value as a disabled (autism+ADHD+PMDD) human & been comparing myself to others (never good). When I feel low I make miniature posies. Iโ€™ve been mocked for them before but they lift my mood-I hope this one lifts yours. Maybe a small life is okโ€ฆ

Breaking News: A woman sued oil and gas companies over her motherโ€™s death in a heat wave. It's the first wrongful death case targeting fossil fuel companies over their role in global warming, experts said.

Our governments are a decade behind in the way they think about electricity generation. And our governments are beholden to billionaires and corporations. That we can have the power, in many ways, frightens the establishment. #AusPol

How about somehow exchanging stamp duty for vouchers that could be used to climate proof houses (insulation, solar, batteries, eaves etc)? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Like WTAF Climate action lol yeah nah ๐Ÿ˜ณ www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Narrator: he didnโ€™t

Power out here. I can thoroughly recommend solar power and a battery โค๏ธ

Shift the balance of power. Donโ€™t buy their cars. Donโ€™t watch their movies. Donโ€™t read their books. Donโ€™t buy their merch. Donโ€™t invest in their crypto. Donโ€™t use their social media. Donโ€™t visit their theme parks. Donโ€™t dress as their characters. Donโ€™t wear their hats. Donโ€™t spread their propaganda.

#GetLoud #UseItOrLoseIt It's my birthday soon, and my sons have decided to start a tradition of buying me music that they want to listen to. I wonder what they'll get me. I'll have a new song out soon. Plenty of time to write this week.๐Ÿงต This Is Not About Us (BANKS cover)

๐Ÿ’ฅ NEWS: McDonald's shareholders voted Tues. to reject an anti-DEI proposal, 99-1 percent. McDonald's Board said the proposal "unduly interferes" with the company's "flexibility and judgment." MCD: "Our success in the future builds on our history of embracing diversity as a competitive advantage."

Stock up on popcorn. A 6-year supply. Itโ€™ll take the coalition that long to work out going it alone as opposed to bun fighting about nuclear, coal, net zero & who backstabs Ley first - will arrive at at Irrelevancy Place in Shyteville at exactly the same time. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Jesus freaking wept Breaking news half an hour ago LNP has split and all ABC news can report is flooding in NSW. Just ridiculous.

I mean Iโ€™d probably still be an atheist anyway but the benevolent sky fairy would be a tiny bit more believable if it didnโ€™t keep making the decent people sick and leaving the truly evil ones to carry on destroying the world it โ€˜createdโ€™.

Ahem. Not frost prevention mist then!

Things I'd like to see in Labor's next budget: #1 Support for farmers. 1. Mental health support 2. Education re managing changing climate 3. Subsidies for regenerative farming 4. Support organics 5. Bird flu prepared 6. Solutions for insurance rate increases because of extreme weather.

Liberals have 17 seats. Just a reminder liberals have to join with a minor party to almost ever form government. Then decry Labor is in coalition with the Greens. Labor: currently 93.

Black smoke rises from coal-fired power station, the traditional sign that the Liberal Party has chosen a new leader. ๐Ÿ˜‚ #auspol #LibSpill

Australia's Liberal Party (which is actually the conservative Party) just got smashed at a federal election. To fight back, they've appointed a leader who was sacked for rorting expenses and who changed the spelling of her name because a numerologist told her to. #AusPol #Australia

Good lord
