Living on the land of the Yawuru, Djugun, Karajarri & Nyikina people. Interested in politics, the environment, nature & photography. Appalled by Trump/US, the genocide in Gaza & the woeful Labor leadership.
Knowing our leaders will always be terrified of Trump is difficult. Watching parents mourn their carpet-bombed children is difficult. Navigating societal systems that rely on misogyny is difficult. Reading about golden gifts being given to tyrants while struggling to pay your own bills is difficult.
It’s very strange that many headlines today are a about war making petroleum more expensive rather than war killing people, harming people, destroying the environment.
The whole thing is so fuc^ed up. Everyone & everything in the ME is suffering. And for what? To satisfy the egos of 2 corrupt old lunatics! Destruction of beautiful buildings, the environment, cultures, people’s lives/livelihoods. It has to stop. Someone sane has to intervene. Please!
Yup just look at some of your Federal pollies: Pauline, McGrath, Canavan, Malcolm Roberts, Katter, Landry, O'Brien, Littleproud. Ugh!
Yep.
Here we are, worrying about our children and grandchildren’s lives, war, climate, humanitarian law squashed into dust, poverty, homelessness and here’s dipshit looking ahead to Friday when I don’t even know what day of the week it is.
Fuck him.
Four frames. Title: “The rules”. Albo and Penny Wong at a lectern. 1. Albo: “Some of you have asked if rules still apply, so we’d like to clear things up.” Wong: “Obviously we shouldn’t kill!” 2. Albo: “However, if you hurt or kill someone and enough people agree they were bad, then the rules aren’t up to us.” Wong: “It’s a ‘matter for them’” 3. Albo : “Also, if you get someone else to do the killing for you and someone accuses you of it, that’s ‘a conspiracy’” Wong: “Against the rules!” 4. Plus, if thousands of innocent people get killed when you kill the bad person, you must focus on the six people you saved.” Wong: “That’s the rule!”
The rules.

Meanwhile in Qld 15 cops arrest an 18 y/o girl for wearing a singlet with From the River to the Sea. How does this work eh?
Jeffrey Sachs says that “This is the start of WW3.”

A great clip. Very sobering.
Welcome back to "IS IT WAR?"

And hence we must vote them out next election. Greens & good Indies.
As the psychotic fascist Netanyahu bombs Iran and Lebanon, and the demented criminal sociopath #Trump pounds Iran…where is the United Nations?
Is there no world order?
🤷🏼
Australia has lost the plot. Don’t our police officers have better things to do? How about targeting organised crime, or the illicit tobacco industry, or DV, or drug dealers or …… but nah, they arrested peaceful pro Palestinian protestors.
Wall with WE WANT YOU poster on it with Trump as Uncle Sam, Netanyahu behind him with thumbs up. Poster says: WE WANT YOU to back our illegal, poorly planned, childishly-named, AI driven, civilian killing, economy smashing WAR WITH IRAN Albanese is standing to the right saying to a small child "I wouldn't say we were ALL the way with Donald J but we ARE keeping our options open"

Awful stats. Where is their special envoy & funding?

Israeli nukes: the elephant in the room since at least 1981.
Of course we don’t & shame on us because Indigenous folk face discrimination/racism all the time.
Our legal system is so fuc^ed that the peeps giving the right wing nut job a well deserved flogging would most likely be jailed.
Absolutely shameful of the police not to charge him. This behaviour is NOT OKAY!
😂
I’m happy the soccer girls were granted visas but IF Trump demanded it, then it kinda loses its gloss a bit. TB & Albo also milked it for positive publicity, which was nauseating. Bet their focus groups told them to do it, after the very ugly “ISIS” brides/kids debacle. Ugh!
So looking at the facts on the ground, we’re supporting a genocidal military campaign against the Iranian people while cutting off an escape route for those with ties to Australia. We’ve become psychopaths.
With the majority of voters in democratic countries bitterly opposed to the illegal, illegitimate and insane US-Israeli war on Iran, the big question is why do are all the Big Tent established political parties all on a unity ticket in supporting it?
The Liberal Party's new deputy leader says more than half a million migrants have come to the country annually under Labor, but current levels are nearly half that amount.

“Albanese has developed an art form of avoidance of key issues for fear of being wedged. His government keeps running away from hard decisions. Pragmatism and compromise rule.” 👏👏👏👏
"The US keeps murdering people and then brags about it.
...Washington is being run by dangerous criminals. Yet our government lines us up in support of these crazies for fear of being wedged by the ailing Murdoch media..." @johnmenadue.com #auspol

It’s even worse given how much she earns -$340,900 pa. She should pay for her own bloody solar. The subsidy should be means tested.
Six frames. Woman talking to girl. 1. “Sunday was International Women’s Day - the one day of the year when women get to…” (girl looks excited) 2. “…be controlling and violent toward their partners,…” (girl looks less thrilled) 3. “…tell men what to wear and what they can do with their bodies,…” (girl looks a bit stunned) 4. “…make men feel unsafe and blame them if they get attacked,…” (girl looks uncomfortable) 5. “…and curtail men’s liberty and make laws that serve our own interests.” (Girl looks depressed) 6. “Because men deserve a day off.” (Girl looks seriously unconvinced.)
