Here mainly for the insights. Also the odd chuckle. I have a lot more to learn than contribute. Auspol. Teals. Climate. Atheist. Not chasing followers.

ABC News Radio (Aust) leads with Trump’s military parade and everyone sang happy birthday to him. No mention of the millions marching against him across the US. The is professional incompetence bordering on ideological propaganda

A Speers masterclass in how NOT to do journalism: - all politics, no policy - shallow horse-race reporting - minor parties & indies don't exist - lame 'both sides' view; fails to call out lies. If he is one of "ABC's finest political minds", no wonder they're screwed. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Just finished James Cook by @peterfitz1.bsky.social. A breathtaking achievement to bring so much history together into a compelling ripping yarn. And sobering to realise how little of the story I knew. 5 stars.

Australia’s PM Albanese and ADF to plan with UK PM Starmer/British defence for ‘peaceful’ Aussie boots on the ground for EU allies to support Ukraine IF Putin agrees to terms of ceasefire. Albo please run this past our representative parliament before any ‘harms way’ deployment.

Hey PM Albanese, if the EU is to fill the Ukraine support void created by Trump and your proposal for Australian peacekeepers becomes a Cabinet decision, please formally seek approval of our representative parliament. All Aussies have a stake in this. @warpowersreform.bsky.social
