There were 69 journalists killed in all of WW2. 63 in Vietnam. The Israelis have killed more than 200 in Gaza. Deliberate murder to silence reporting.

PM promises to do what he promised to do last election but personally stopped from happening 🤯🤦‍♂️ You couldn’t make this up. If you care about nature, Labor & Libs aren’t representing you. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

There are still some people at the ABC that are allowed to say what they think. “Trump and his gang seem determined to destroy the US economy with tariffs, austerity and administrative chaos…”. Thought provoking. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Bravo to The Saturday Paper, doing the journalism that other media organisations find too hard. Or against the bosses wishes.

Newcastle are nowhere as shit as I’d expected them to be. Dolphins are pedestrian, dull. Playing at a different pace altogether. It’s like their game plan is to hang in there and hope the opposition makes mistakes. #NRL #NRLKnightsDolphins

“We have political leaders who insist that mining & forestry underwrite Australian prosperity. Those who believe this nonsense cannot be trusted with the wellbeing of future generations.” “Mining & native forest logging industries, collectively, employ only ~2% of the labour force." – Ken Henry

You have to wonder exactly how much money the Catholic Church has paid to lawyers over years to silence child abuse victims & avoid compensation. Certainly lawyers got more out of its Melbourne Response than victims did. I do not know how people who profit from this look their own kids in the eye.

Anyone know of any other fascist leaders that wanted to expand their empire? I don't know anything about history and have never heard this story before.

A quote from my local LNP MP, Glen Kelly, in the local paper, re problems with wind turbines. “The bats actually explode because of the expansion of their lungs due to the drop in air pressure”. Ref: CQ Today, 22/01/2025, page 2. Exploding bats. Give me strength.
