Do you wonder how the people of Qatar feel about the huge US base in Qatar, the military jets in their skies? Given that Netanyahu tried to assassinate some visitors maybe they don't feel safer.

Had a great @greens.org.au bushwalking club walk this morning along Molonglo Gorge on Ngunnawal country just outside Queanbeyan. Lovely 7km back and forth with stunning views, just enough politics, lots of nature and chats.

Excellent that NSW Police have investigated alleged antisemitic attacks over last 2 years…& found they were overstated.
But why were they so wrongly recorded in 1st place?
& why did NSW Premier Chris ‘knee jerk’ Minns then bring in draconian laws, on wrong numbers?

Revealed: NSW Police ‘significantly’ overstated antisemitic attacks
An internal review of Operation Shelter found a “significant number” of cases had been mischaracterised as motivated by anti-Jewish sentiment.

"The bird gained global fame Oct. 7, when right-wing influencer Benny Johnson posted video of U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stepping onto the ICE facility’s roof and staring down a handful of hecklers—and one chicken."

One must always be careful of frogs, hippos, unicorns or large chickens in the streets. Things have come to an awful pass in war-torn America.
Personally I feel compelled to wear an inflatable animal outfit with the slogan “No Kings” - among other things - onto the streets on Oct 18. What animal ru?

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Under Morrison, Australia’s relationship China reached lowest point. He went year without speaking President Xi Jinping. To curry American favour pushed for pandemic inquiry that would target China.

He used fear of China to score cheap political points.

The one-man super scheme
Of all the things Scott Morrison does not understand, and the list is long and often embarrassing, somewhat in the shape of his prime ministership, China would rate very close to the top.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Every time the government accepts money from the gambling industry, it increases its debts to companies whose business models are based on preying on young and vulnerable people, and doing them harm.

The Albanese government does this again and again.

Do they have a prize for blowing up boats in the Caribbean and then bragging that people who made their livelihood fishing there for generations are now afraid to go out on the water?

Why Portland though, one of the tamest of big Yank cities?

That's the schema of 21st century lying — make it so distant and impossibly untrue that your credulous followers won't hesitate to accept it.

And relax. It's Friday. It's #scape day.

Take a moment to enjoy this beautiful harbour/common seal chilling out on the rocks in Rackwick Bay on the island of Hoy in the Orkney Islands.
