Professor Jeffrey Sachs: This is a calamity. This was a war of choice. The US wants to rule the world and Israel wants to rule the Middle East. This is a partnership. And now it will create a disaster for the whole world. #SolidarityWithPalestine #SolidarityWithIran

Good to see you back!

“The best” what, one has to ask. 🤣🤣🤣

Well done you! It takes a lot of courage to do what you did. I tend to walk away in those situations.

I am so sorry that this is happening to you. It is so wrong and potentially puts you in a high risk situation (if you listen to your doctor). Being immunocompromised is no fun. My Dr and Specialist remain very supportive about my mask wearing. All the best.

I do not blame the Doctors at all. The blame, to my mind, rests squarly with the politicians, the media and the vested interests that lobbied said politicians through the media. I thank the brilliant doctors who stood up to this false narrative and helped our health system (Australia) to continue.

😂

And she deserves them...😂😂😂

Jane Hume. In this economy or in any universe?

Case numbers reflect testing, not true spread.

Hospitalisations, aged-care outbreaks and wastewater matter more — but in Australia they’re reported inconsistently.

The new CDC has a real opportunity to fix this.

Hoping (against hope perhaps) that the Australian CDC (ACDC) will provide impartial, effective and intelligent leadership as our pollies have dropped the ball on all counts.

Meet one of our resident Blue Tongue Lizards, thriving in the Snowy Mountains, Australia.

"Cartloads of peer-reviewed papers". What absolute rubbish these idiots trot out. It is bad enough that we have to read about their uneducated views - I am dead set worried about One Nation getting more power as, with it, will come this level of stupid. Back to the stone age we go.

Hello from Walgalu/Ngarigo Country. Stay cool. It is currently 42.5 degrees C in the Snowy Mountains.

Sign the Petition Royal Commission into the Killing of Australian Women and Girls

"4 women lost to acts of male violence this year. 77 women killed in 2025. In 2024, 105 women, unlawfully killed.

186 since January 1, 2024.

Every 4 days, on average, a woman or girl is killed in Australia. Almost always by a man."

Unless we were not birthed by a woman, we should all sign this.

A circus, no less.

"Tell him he's dreaming" say every fan of "The Castle". Seems the appropriate response here.

Kowtowing to the Murdoch press and the LNP is what @abcnewsbot.bsky.social excel at ATM. There is no balance (which is what we should be getting from our "National Broadcaster") whatsoever. Their "news" is nothing more than a RW dog's breakfast regurgitated. They have no credibility left.

The problem with Royal Commissions is that the outcomes are always predetermined by the terms of reference, and the opposition will only agree to terms of reference that give them the outcome they want.

The cookers are amongst us and unfortunately (for everyone), they can vote.....

Same here!

Hope he is watching his blood pressure...definitely stroke potential there with that (checks notes) "emotional outburst". Unfortunately, I am in his electorate and what you see here is what we get. Lots of hot air, nothing else (from my bitter) perspective. He needs to be voted out of Parliament.

To my mind (and to quote Tammie Fraser as one source of the expression), she is "lower than a snake's duodenum".Pandering to the right, divisive, trying to score political traction at a time when our Nation should be coming together.This is not who we are and it is certainly not who I will vote for.

Our hearts are shattered – and some have broken them further There is no going back to where we were before December 14. But a social contract Australians relied on has been destroyed by the Coalition.

“Never has there been a time where politics has been played so blatantly, so openly at the expense of a terrified, traumatised community and the wider nation at large.” @amyremeikis.bsky.social

Educated person from the bush here. About 3-4 months a year access to our home can be limited and can require a 4x4. I, personally would love an electric car but the distances we travel makes it impossible. Shiny 4x4 cars for the city school pickup seems crazy to me.

The Alannah and Madeline Foundation is the one I donate to regularly throughout the year with an extra donation at Christmas.

I second your appreciation! The predominate people that I trust with COVID (etc) information is @thecovidinfoguy.bsky.social and @mikehoney.bsky.social

I would like to see balanced reporting from @abcnewsbot.bsky.social . Instead we are fed regurgitated, right wing, sensionalistic trash from journos who are more interested in headlines than balanced reporting. As it stands, the ABC is right down there with the gutter press.

😂😂😂😂😂
