Exactly. Nothing breaks down ethics in a public organisation or political party faster than a phone call with instructions from a big donor! @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social @auslawreform.bsky.social #sport #auspol

Check this out. Australians need to learn from #NZpol. The #AtlasNetwork operations are extending a recession, driving ever more people into poverty and enabling predator capitalists to take the loot. New Zealanders are talking about it. We need to as well. #Auspol

This means that CORPOREAL 'discipline' which Obama/Biden banned, will be allowed. CIVIL RIGHTS PROTECTIONS FOR DISABLED STUDENTS WERE REMOVED by the orange nazi #austism #disabled #students #civilrights #disability #disabledstudents

Hey #auspol George The Minister for Manila Christensen is running the local arm of a Spanish extremist religious hate group, registered as a foreign influence operation. The #AtlasNetwork is interlinked. Why? Where is the media scandal?

Nicola Willis was director of the #NZInitiative ( #AtlasNetwork disinformation org) from May 2016 - February 2017, meanwhile another former NZ Initiative acolyte, is Political Reporter Luke Malpass who was a Researcher for the NZ Initiative, & spreads their disinformation #nzpol

Do have a look at @lucyham.bsky.social's investigation of the #AtlasNetwork and their involvement in pushing far-right religious ideology in Australia (and NZ, and many other countries) via "think tanks" and conservative politicians. They are a present and growing threat. #auspol

Also worth noting that Tony Abbott is listed here as a speaker and special dinner guest. Abbott is interlinked with #AtlasNetwork tanks in Aus & UK, & with Orban’s Budapest circle. Alex Antic pulled out because of the election. More on Antic: johnmenadue.com/post/2023/08... #auspol

About time I posted another peregrine falcon photo for @whiteswinous.bsky.social This was from a few years ago in the Clare Valley. A young perry stretching its wings ahead of fledging.

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

@1dgrn.bsky.social “The goal of Stoicism was ‘apatheia’, ‘not feeling’; the goal of Epicureanism was ‘ataraxia’, ‘not being disturbed’….” I want both. Further to Tanners comment: Apatheia is the Stoic ideal of emotional tranquility and freedom from irrational passions.

From Meditations, “BOOK 2 ON THE RIVER GRAN, AMONG THE QUADI Marcus talks about the common Stoic belief that, we only have the present moment in which to act and of which to lose. Section 14.

The LNP’s propaganda arm Advance Australia - funded $1/2 million dollars by an LNP Foundation - shows discriminatory, divisive Tяumpian “anti-woke” tv ads in late attempt to salvage the Dud-On wreck of cuts to services, higher costs + taxes & nuclear catastrophe. #Auspol #AusVotes25 #DontRiskDutton

News Ltd, through News.com.au, is claiming that 2/3 of Australians are against Welcome to Country. It is based on a readers' poll. Nothing scientific, nothing even resembling conventional poll-taking. Typical Murdoch shit. #auspol

Wurundjeri elder Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin said the decision was particularly "hurtful" because her father was a veteran and she had planned to wear his medals during the Welcome to Country." #storm #auspol

Fuck the Melbourne Storm

The irony of racists saying they're "sick of asking permission to live in Australia" is that you flogs NEVER fucking asked in the first place.

i ask you to judge me by the enemies i have made and the unhinged things they say about me on sky news. (the irony that the CEO of an astroturf misinformation vehicle would say these words on rupert murdoch’s network is not lost on me.)

WOW 😲

OMG... this is so awful. So terribly sad. I, like so many, have been following her long fight for recognition and justice. www.smh.com.au/national/pro...

Abantiades atripalpis, also known as bardee (bardy, bardi) grub, rain moth or waikerie, and previously known as Trictena atripalpis is a moth of the family Hepialidae. It is found in the whole southern half of Australia.

Why isn’t Trump in prison then?

Not sure if The Barricade counts as fantasy or sci-fantasy. It's solarpunk (?). But if you like it, you can nominate it for the British Fantasy Award. interzone.digital/the-barricade/

I do have a poetry book. It’s been out for awhile. Cheapest place to get it is on Kindle. I am low on hard copies but the price of $36 is ridiculous. www.amazon.com.au/Magpie-Tales...

This should be a huge story

O learned judge! A second Daniel!

JUST IN: Former Republican Congressman George Santos sentenced to 87 months in prison.

LET’S. DO. THIS. 😎✨

So this isn't just random LNP candidates acting inappropriately. This is clearly a national Coalition campaign strategy, in tandem with their candidates appearing in ADF uniform in electoral material... #auspol
