Perth, Western Australia I don't label myself or my outlook on life here, especially as my views and priorities may change over time. However, a longstanding tenet of mine is "Do as you would be done by", which works for me. Take me as you find me.

NEW RELEASE: Liberal Lies Collector Card #5 "27,000 small businesses have shut their doors" The truth is... there's way more started up than shut! 🔄 Repost to share the truth 💾 Save now to quickly share elsewhere 👇 See thread for extra details, previous cards ➕ Follow for more! #auspol #factcheck

Why are the Labor changes to GP bulk billing only being seen as a cost to the budget? Many serious health problems can be avoided by early intervention - better for people - better for the community and saves money and lives. Win/win. #AlboPM #auspol

Peter Lalor - who was sacked as a cricket commentator at SEN because the sound of his voice “made people feel unsafe” - donated his final pay cheque to UNICEF. Another decent person paying a high price for showing concern about children being bombed.

Bogabri & Tarawanga Coal mines create voids, impact water table, create overburden of blast debris & devastation. In need of regulation.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

I think that many of us, in all parts of the world, can relate to this right now. The only element I might add is the bag of venomous snakes that someone has accidentally dropped and has fallen open in the back footwell.

Starlink, Space X, Tesla and X are both economic and political vehicles created not just to enrich but empower their owner. He is an ignorant, racist, rogue, narcissist who supports America's enemies and an anti-democratic, white supremacist agenda. Supporting those companies in any way at all...

I don't know the truth of what happened in this case, but it stinks. Was there a coordinated email storm? Were there threats? Or was it just fear of backlash from a powerful lobby group? Whatever the rationale, a fine artist and worthy representative of Australia was stabbed in the back. Shame.

It is time to systematically boycott the businesses of Musk, Trump and the other billionaires behind their assault on our democracy, America's security and the well-being of the most vulnerable in our society and around the world. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Dutton is a weak leader who sucks up to billionaires and MAGA. He is the wrong choice for Australia. We have a competent and strong leader in Albo who puts our interests first. Why risk it? #auspol #ausvotes

If you're "white", ie your skin is pink, think on this picture for a moment. If your skin is brown you won't have to, because you already know. New Yorker 1963

Does this seem familiar? It's from the New Yorker, 1958.

And when facts are ignored..

Trump and Trumpism are a scourge, and every reasonable person knows it. But if you don’t stand up and denounce it, it will burn you down.

Do Look Up. Especially if someone keeps telling you not to. #auspol

Want change? Want to protect Australia’s wildlife and environments? *Use preferential voting to your advantage.* No. Vote. Is. Ever. Wasted! Simply order your votes from most environmentally progressive to least (ecocidal). It’s literally that simple. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

These are just the statements on record. Do you trust these people, #auspol? Whose songsheet are they singing from?

This week, we have seen leaders in western Europe forced to move from fumbling cautious politeness to action as a result of the Trump’s various & wild pronouncements. There's no reason to think Australia's national interests will not be directly challenged in a similar way. Laura Tingle #auspol

Friends don’t let friends buy & eat Tasmanian farmed salmon. It’s produced & farmed irresponsibly, harms the local environment inc the ancient & endangered Maugean skate - & is owned by multinationals who pay little to no tax Friends don’t let friends buy & eat Tasmanian farmed salmon #auspol

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

“draft of doc goes into painstaking detail of all meteorological & climatological conditions causing bushfires. While doc had to be edited to ensure it could be understood by gen public, all references to “#climatechange & long-term warming trends were removed… BoM deletes climate change reference”

Apparently, wanting safety, security, love and happiness for other people is a bad thing in some circles now.

Tim Winton: “Labor hasn’t delivered on more effective nature laws. It’s not just embarrassing, it’s calamitous”. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I’ve never been more grateful to live in Australia. Democracy isn’t just a privilege—it’s the foundation of a just and free society. Without it, we risk slipping back into dark times. Our voices matter. Our choices matter. Let’s not take them for granted.#greenpartyaustralia

‘The Albanese Government forked out tens of thousands of taxpayer’s dollars in legal fees to Clayton Utz to resist releasing a Ministerial brief on the prospective extinction of the Maugean Skate. That’s public money not well spent’ #auspol michaelwest.com.au/art-maugean-...

Please stop eating Tasmanian farmed salmon!

Demand the gas industry pays royalties! Add your name demanding the gas industry pays its fair share. nb.australiainstitute.org.au/collect_gas_...

Blame game. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Big Gas is taking the piss. Help us spread the word, and share this. 👇 90% of WA’s gas is exported. Big Gas takes 73% the gas for free. To add insult to injury, these gas exporters have never paid resources tax. Add your name to make them pay their fair share: theaus.in/collect_gas_... #auspol
