Listen to this podcast if you follow Australian politics.

50 years ago on 11 November 1975, the Whitlam govt was dismissed. Coalition had held govt for 23 dreary years & did not accept defeat.

Key perpetrators were Malcolm Fraser, GG Kerr, The Queen, Prince Charles. #auspol #TheDismissal

Norway struck oil in the 1960s. Now, almost a quarter of its national budget is funded through its sovereign wealth fund. How does Australia compare with taxing its resources?

I'm always surprised IF any usa political dill actually knows anything about Aus- purposeful ignorance?- Aus medicare, social services ect r not in their interest 2acknowledge. That's b4 you consider compulsory voting + our independent, excellent AEC.
With all it's faults, Aus has democracy

Just watched online presentation by a US constitutional law expert who talked about America sliding into authoritarianism. Someone asked him what country has the strongest democracy in the world. He said the US 😳 I guess Australia - mandatory pref voting, independently operated - doesn’t exist then?

Thank you for posting this.
Anyone who has not experienced chronic pain would have no idea what is being discussed, which is one of many problems ppl have trying 2get medical help- doctors r just smart ppl who also do not always understand pain

masim @masim29.bsky.social · 4d

I've never been able 2 explain pain. Reading you both explain it I now understand a bit more. At a guess I only try 2 get relief if the pain is preventing me doing the stuff I'm wanting 2do, the rest just is.

One of the problems with pain scales is they don’t take into account the level of constant pain humans can get accustomed to and just shrug off. I lived with extreme chronic back pain for something like three years and by the end (before it got better) I was so used to it that I hardly noticed.
