Australian pollies are still mostly behaving like we can deal with this nasty, incompetent, psychotic administration - waiting for a major shock to hit us as it has other long-term US allies. Elias is a hero. May there be many more. #auspol #australia #allies

I've heard reactions from 100s of international tourists in #Sydney and can confirm the vast majority believe these massive ships degrade the experience of our icons - the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House and The Rocks. Sure hope the economic windfall is worth it. #tourism #auspol

OMH, @cathywilcox.bsky.social, this is HILARIOUS! I could actually hear in my mind Donald Dutton straining to come up with an idea like a constipated old man trying to empty his bowels - with no success!

Timely release of The Correspondent - Aussie #film about the arrest and imprisonment of journalist Peter Greste in Egypt in 2013. Greste is an inspiration and a great advocate for the best work of journalists. Lots to think about as the US runs off the rails. #movies #dfat #australia #auspol

Truely regressive move by Standards Aust to increase both parking spaces & aisle widths to cater for these gross vehicles. They’ve ignored; -more tarmac & so urban heat -less landscape -bigger excavation, so more truck movements & concrete -more construction cost -more technology in vehicles parking

Adelaide Writer's Week was an Asia free zone. In the many discussions of the Trumpocalypse, nobody could reflect on our place in our region. Asian authors were almost invisible too... Will Sydney be a repeat? #auspol #AWW #books #asia #geopolitics www.innerwestranter.com.au/the-glaring-...

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

The Govt can and should appoint an independent person to the NACC to investigate Robodebt After constraining the NACC’s ability to hold public hearings, it’s disappointing to see the lack of action to rebuild trust following the decision not to investigate the Robotdebt saga @theklaxon.bsky.social
