Murdoch’s scum trying to provoke a confrontation.
He dressed to provoke, walked up & down inside the cafe. Stood in front of staff, complained about the tea, said "Do you have a problem with me", had a team of reporters from NewsCorp in tow so YES, he did EVERYTHING he could to provoke. #auspol #MurdochRoyalCommission #insiders

This blue tongue lizard honours me by living in my yard. He/she makes a regular appearance at 10 in the morning, soaks up the sun and then disappears.

Peter Dutton refuses to stand next to the ATSI flag that represents the oldest, continuous culture in the world that arrived here 65,000 years ago, had over 500 different language groups but is happy to stand next to a terrorist states flag committing genocide. #auspol

This spider really stands out against the crepe myrtle flowers, it also found some prey.

I can recommend Double Delight. The perfume is divine.

Am I the only one who has to sign in to Bluesky each and every time? It is a bit of a disincentive to use it.

In the laneway across the road there is this New South Wales Christmas bush. It always puts on a good show despite some dodgy pruning in the past.

So much for “rules based order” international law? Former Australian PMs Tony Abbott, Scott Morrison urge withdrawal from the International Criminal Court over its arrest warrant for Netanyahu. Murdoch papers concur. “Moral equivalence” v crimes against humanity. This lets Putin off the hook.

FFS! The sacking of Sarah Macdonald from ABC Sydney is beyond stupid. I held that same shift on "Mornings" before Sarah and, on listening, wish I was half the broadcaster she is.
With Richard Glover & Robbie Buck leaving too - the station is losing its DNA. Good luck in the ratings!!

I recommend listening to Nick Bryant’s address to the NPC. He warns of US style divisiveness in Australia. Well worth the time.
