Advance conference 2026: some terrifying agenda setting alongside the strategy sessions.

Cheers to Dave for that title π€£
I was praised for a calm voice in my writing yesterday (surprised me), but I let rip a bit more in this piece. Let me know if I should stick to my day job.

So, MarkWayne Mullin had uncles called Mark and Wayne which is how his parents came up with his Christian name.
Using this formula (with aunts for women) and assuming your parents were equally as (ahem) creative as MarkWayne's what would be your name?
Mine would be GrazinaJill

As violence spreads across the Middle East now more then ever we need our Government to be a force for peace. That starts with withdrawing support for US-backed forever wars.

"Howard tied us to America so tightly, it would take a world-altering event to unshackle us. The tragic truth is though, even then, we would probably be on Americaβs side, even if it meant our own destruction," writes @amyremeikis.bsky.social.

When they arrived, Lucille (the black and white one) couldnβt see through her feathers properly and kept getting lost and would squawk when she couldnβt find Magda and run round in circles until Magda found herβ¦.

Another reason I love chooks more than people is that they pretty much make friends for life, stick together no matter what and always look out for each other ππ

Tim Wilson is deadset the designated βUseful Idiotβ, of the LNP. In a cabinet full of Ass Clowns led by village idiot Taylor, we will do nothing but cringe and laugh at Willson. The people of Goldstein must be dumb as dog shit.

You know, the female part of me wants to be on her side, mainly bc what he did would never be allowed to happen if the genders were reversed and also bc he is vileβ¦but youβre right. So much damage done by two overpaid, under-talented jerks who never cared about the damage they did to others.

I mean if weβre just going to keep on ignoring the UN and international rules and laws and give one certified war criminal and another pending war criminal a free pass, what in the ever-loving fuck do people think the outcome is going to be?

Sarah Hanson-Young accuses Labor of supporting the new Iran War while refusing to answer on if they believe itβs legal after βevery legal expert in the world is saying it isnβtβ
βThey canβt even get some basic parameters of whether Aus is backing an illegal war or notβπ₯ #auspol

Story on The Australian front page:
Israelβs deadliest day: Nine die in public shelter in Beit Shemesh struck by Iranian missile
Volunteer medic Ronit Elimelech rushed her elderly mother and three children to the shelter as sirens wailed, instinctively grabbing her vest and the medical equipment sheβd used to save countless lives. It wasnβt enough to save her own.
All civilian deaths are tragic, but we're getting a real sense of whose lives are valued more.
If The Australian had run this story for Gaza it would have had to do it more than 8,000 times.
Never mind one for the around 150 children killed in a Tehran school just this week...

Penny Wong was asked if the Australian Government believes that Trump's war on Iran - which Labor supports - was illegal. She couldn't answer.
This is Australia under the ALP: providing political cover for a rogue state while it wreaks chaos and death across the world.

And if youβve studied any kind of history then seen people vote against their own self interest & blame immigrants for their misfortune even though the govt they voted for has conspired with rich people and then sent the poors to war, this is still always bc of rich, privileged fuckheads.

Everything bad is bc of rich, privileged fuckheads who became billionaire fuckheads bc of their privilege, then became richer & more privileged while everyone else became poorer, got far less eduction then had to vote. Itβs not bc of immigrants. Itβs bc of rich, privileged fuckheads. Thatβs fascism.

Got some more chickensβ¦so cute & cuddly.
Also Iβm looking after this little cutieβ¦& on our beach walk today I had to sit with my sore back, so he dug a wee hole, plonked his arse next to mine and just sat with me till I was right to go*
