Indeed. They might just get their way too.
Children’s Health Defense is now asking the FDA to revoke “COVID vax licenses” and review the RSV shot.

This is insanity.

“SBS: CUT THE MIC ON GENOCIDE! ✂️🎤

In Sept 2025, a UN Commission found Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Russia was excluded from Eurovision after its 2022 Ukraine invasion, on grounds that they "would bring the competition into disrepute". Allowing a state to participate…”

Victoria's Climate Science Report 2024 has a good section on understanding the bushfire hazard in our climate-impacted world that is very well worth reading (⬆️ temp, ⬆️ vapour pressure deficit, ⬆️ freq, duration & intensity of heatwaves, ⬆️ drought stress, ⬆️ freq of dangerous fire weather etc)

Yeah, NSW does do more public health Comms than many, but this isn't the discussion we need IMO. More about what's happening, think about the air you're sharing, how you'll manage the season if you get fairly sick and who you want to infect in the leadup to Christmas - would be some things

"Show me your papers." With the 1935 Nuremberg laws the Nazis made life extremely difficult for Jewish people.

In 2025 the legislation is on the table for all foreigners entering the USA to provide papers, email addresses, social media accounts, phone numbers & DNA. Yes, DNA.

It’s it just me saying it … over two decades of unbroken Labor government in the ACT has entrenched racism towards Indigenous people…

Indigenous people in Canberra are more likely to have experienced racial prejudice than anywhere else in the country…

So I'm selling a property for the first time ever and am in complete shock and anger at how much it costs to list your place on websites like realestate(.)com(.)au!

Then I find out that we pay the most in the world to sell our homes online!!

Who's to blame? Murdoch/News Corp of course! 😤😤😤
Australians pay more than anyone in the world to sell their homes online
Prices at the News Corp-controlled realestate.com.au can be as high as $4,000 for a single listing, prompting complaints from vendors, agents and industry disruptors

Australia… what’s going on? We can top this chart!
Those tree hugging hippies in Hungary now lead the world in the share of electricity generated from solar with almost 25% of their electricity coming from solar in 2024.

A remarkable leap from just 7% five years ago.
