THIS is not an ad for the latest series of The Handmaid's Tale .. THIS is America today! THIS is why no foreigner will be visiting America anytime soon THIS is why we no longer share your values THIS looks like a dictatorship

"Dutton’s personal approval ratings had fallen to the lowest level recorded by any opposition leader over the past 20 years." Yes, I know it is two and a half weeks until the final votes are cast, but.... 😀💥🍾🎉🥂🌈😂 #TrumpLite #ausvotes #auspol www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Looking at the red snake of rear traffic lights on the Southern Outlet now. Nothing on TAS Alerts or ABC Emergency site. Seeing those red brakes lights is probably what the Hobart Dock area will look like in the future. No light rail like Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. #NoNewStadium #Hobart

Power outage: South Hobart. So pleased Siri could find my new Air Pods in the dark and beep and flash their location. All devices charged up, so take your time TasNetworks. 😎

How about that NACC? Hasn’t initiated a single successful major corruption investigation. No wonder the Albanese govt has gone so quiet on it.

How the fuck do we live in a world where the Constitution of the United States has just been torn up in real time by their President and every single citizen isn’t rioting in the fucking streets? #NewsCorpse

youtu.be/gnUKcEwT7NI?... Remember being so intoxicated with the music when I discovered this film and reggae in 1971. Old, but still solid gold, from The Melodians. #reggae #music

Eating salmon? You're killing Tasmania. This Parliament has gutted our environment laws to protect an industry selling salmon from diseased pens & sending the Maugean skate extinct. Our research shows what needs to be done: theaus.in/fix_enviro_l... Watch + share our TV ad with Richard Flanagan ⤵️

What Flanagan says. Don't eat Tassie caged salmon.

Sanders: We’ve got a president of the United States who— Crowd: Boooo Sanders: I agree

So Desperado Dutton is back onto "Stop the Boats". I recall that the only boat he failed to stop was the Ruby Princess. The one that really did need stopping. #auspol
