Don’t look for meaning or nuance in my profile picture. It’s just a picture of two nice looking actors from a great movie.
The other is 5yr old granddaughter's artwork.
Both make me smile 😃

I wonder if One Nation would still be rising in polls if media bothered to question the fringe views they stand for
Climate denial, against LGBTIQ+, against women’s rights, abortion
Or when they tried to funnel $ from NRA to weaken gun laws
Hype would be over pretty fast #auspol

Noted pentacostalist Scott Morrison, in Jerusalem, stirs up anti-Muslim prejudice after Bondi massacre. Irresponsible. Religiously intolerant. Every Australian of good faith is trying to stop ancient “holy wars” being incited here. Royal Commission investigation has yet to start.

one has to wonder why Andrew Podger keeps defending Renée Leon against the findings of the APSC code of conduct which found she breached the code due to her handling of robodebt, which is also what royal commission found. He keeps arguing for ‘context’ but leaves a lot out in his repeated attempts

No question neither Ley nor Littleproud will survive, but so what. There is no talent in either party room, only a bunch of hacks hoping to be noticed by Rupert. The Liberal Party as an entity is just ghostly echoes of the past prime ministers who destroyed it.

If you were going to hold any religious institution in Australia to account, you’d start with the Catholic church
Are prejudicial statements intended to stoke fear and hate against whole religious communities ok under the new hate speech laws?

Australia needs a political party to serve the people in regional areas, to represent them on pressing issues of climate change, dangerous heat, food prices, water use, health & maternity care access, fire-fighting, arts budgets & transport issues. We could call it, I dunno, the Country Party?
