I've watched all 50min. Lying lies, as expected. This is a good @chrismurphyct.bsky.social thread but sadly only on X.

Absolutely an ambush. Cameras in the room. Preceding distractors to undermine confidence: “Why don’t you wear a suit?” Irrelevant argument, “you have not said thank you.” Post debate gaslighting: “he needs to apologise.” 1/2

Okay, you lot need some cheering up. The world is a mess ... but this splendid fairywren (yes, that's its name: splendid fairywren) does not know or care who Trump, Vance, Musk, or any one those other idiots are. Seen at Gluepot Reserve.

We can’t. But the first thing we can do to keep ourselves safe from the contagion of Trump’s influence is to re-elect a Labor government. You know it and I know it. #auspol

Trump has no idea what AUKUS is. I’m telling you - now is the time to tell him that we’ve already paid for the subs in full and we’re just waiting for delivery at his earliest convenience.

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

"I want to put air filters in schools to help stop kids getting sick." Public: where's the money coming from, we can't afford it, yeah who's paying? "We need to properly fund the NHS to treat sick people." Public: too right, tax the billionaires, tax us more, I'll chip in extra. Go figure.

Grateful thanks to ABC psephologist Antony Green who is retiring from on-screen election night duties after 36 years. Antony’s data sets helped all electors and candidates understand exactly how Australia’s compulsory preferential voting system works = a functioning democracy.

Texas measles outbreak is up to 124 cases & US just had their first measles death in ten years. RFK Jr is spinning this as “not unusual”, but it absolutely is. Sadly it may not be unusual in the years to come. Get your vaccines. Wear a mask. An N95 or better offers excellent measles protection:

In the new hard world of Donald Trump, everything is about what a country has to offer. Australia has 2 things the US wants: the Pine Gap spy facility & proximity to China. As Trump upends geopolitics, what happens to 5-Eyes & AUKUS? My new column: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

No-one - absolutely no-one - will tell you that it’s business as usual in Washington. Yet @albomp.bsky.social says he is confident that the US would defend Australia if it were to come under attack. One is left wondering if he’s being double served Kool-aid. #auspol

Lovely to see that this young man has now joined the SES. And I’m very pleased that he’s chosen the ABC for his interview, given all the armchair conspiracy loons who were accusing him of faking it to make $$$. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

More world leaders need to stand up to Trump and call him out for what he is - a Russian operative. The only way to deal with bullies is to push back harder. Bullies are actually cowards who can’t take what they dish out.

Chestnut-breasted Whiteface. Possibly one of the rarest birds to be found in South Australia. Took me many years to find it.
