don't send our young to war, Albo
this is home (they cannot afford)
their country (what you haven't destroyed)
their future (so darkly uncertain)
but yet ours, and yet young.
let old men expend their hollow breaths instead
the vain raging they started
they can end
Thank you for an excellent and compassionate report.🙏🏼
Another brilliant programme , yet again this star investigative journalist exposes corruption , greed and profound misogyny.
Urgent work and why I vote Independent!
Well deserved 👏👏👏👏👏
Bangarra have become the first Australian group to win the Venice Biennale's Golden Lion for dance 🖤💛❤️

The aurora last night in Beaver, Alaska was just incredible. This is a real-time video (not sped up) of the crazy motion I saw. Also, look how BRIGHT it is, wow!
The trauma & ongoing chaos of an unmedicated person with the schizophrenia/bipolar disorder/psychosis in families & communities is devastating. Suggesting a fad diet as a 'cure' is cruel, stupid, dangerous and a cheap insult to all people who work hard to keep themselves or others safe and healthy.
She’s a beauty
On Jan 26, an explosive device was allegedly thrown into a crowd of peaceful protesters in Perth. Acts of violence or attempted violence like this are unacceptable. This sort of event should be viewed as an act of terrorism and treated with the gravity it deserves by state and federal police forces.
It’s not that complex. #auspol #climate
The incredible Melbourne based Sikh Volunteers have already arrived in Seymour to provide meals to those affected by the nearby #VictorianBushFires Strange how they’re always there to assist EVERYONE affected by disasters. This is social cohesion in action. #auspol
As a former Director of Adelaide Writers' Week I am appalled that the Adelaide Festival Board has rescinded Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's invitation to the 2026 AWW, explicitly linking its decision to the shattering crimes in Bondi.
A shocking decision that will and should have far-reaching consequences.
Statement from the Australia Institute announcing its withdrawal of support and sponsored events from the Adelaide Writers’ Festival
Statement from Amy Remeikis withdrawing from Adelaide Writers’ Festival
I stand with Randa and everyone standing against hate, genocide, oppression and terror. In all its forms.
Libraries, museums & festivals getting trashed by cuts & because so many boards now stacked with business people, ex-politicians, incompetents & toadies & one or no arts reps. More & more public & iconic cultural institutions have been taken over, charters abandoned; now being wrecked from the top.
Leave Cathy alone - one of this nation's greatest, bravest 'toonists in these difficult times
Or come after me too, you fuckers!
My statement regarding my decision to withdraw from this year’s Adelaide Writers Festival.
Wishing all who celebrate a happy Christmas, and goodwill to all.

Just gunna repost this everyday until the rally to save the State Library of Victoria. Do try to come. I will draw you a Hermoine the Modern Girl if you ask me nicely at the rally. For ID purposes, this is a photo of me:
Hard to find this disaster on the front pages of the nation's online news ... our nearest neighbours.
Tweet announcing death of Trish’s mother from covid on 28 Dec 2020
Trish and her mum
Let’s never forget rationing ventilators and Zoom funerals. Boris Johnson and his cronies partied while our loved ones lay dying alone. COVID-19 was the worst public health crisis in a century. We should have locked down earlier. To some of us, PPE was not a get-rich-quick commodity.
Thank you.
THIS is how youth crime should be tackled. Kids don't need curfews, youth detention, tougher sentences, withdrawal of pill testing etc. They need a safe night-time place where they can get a meal- possibly their only meal all day- with support and conversation and good near-peer role models.

The world learned a painful lesson during COVID; respiratory infections are airborne. This changes a great deal - especially the need for better indoor air quality and high quality masks. If there was a single most important person responsible it was Prof Morawska.

Congratulations to Lidia Morawska, the Aussie scientist who alerted the world to the airborne nature of COVID-19. Winner of the Prime Minister’s Prize for Science. I’ve learnt so much from being a (very minor) part of Lidia’s team. Brilliant, incisive, generous.

YASSS!! Another forward step. 🖤💛❤️ #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe
Vale Professor John Murtagh. Truly a great man who gave much to General Practice. He was generous, humble and so very kind. He will be missed.
