Time to be brave Labor-deal “issues of integrity, religious protections, climate, sanctioning Israel, tax reform, poverty, inequality and housing “. No excuses, this is Australia’s chance. #auspol #binnight

Australia rejected the right's agenda, we'll see if Labor do the same
We are about to find out whether the Labor government has the bravery to govern without the approval of right-wingers.

I'm no gardener but I have a friend who loves gardening. Months ago we bought this plant because there's one across the road that I love. We weren't sure if it would like the position. I think it's safe to say that it loves it! #FlowerSky #Spring
A plant with gorgeous vivid purple flowers. I'm so sorry I don't know the name of it but it's really beautiful!

If you can’t get gas exporters to pay any tax @albomp.bsky.social how about getting them to contribute a couple of billion towards our rising insurance costs for the problem they’re contributing to?

Pale and brighter pink daisy flowers. Some are plush double petalled, others simpler daisy shapes with yellow centres yet they are all from the same cloned bush.

The wildflowers at Hattah-Kulkyne National Park were stunning - especially the massive carpets of these. Now, I don't know much about plants, but I believe these are a native plant called pig face. There were lots!

Just In case you thought Optis actually gave a fk. We lost ALL service in the cyclone when the power failed because the back up batteries weren't maintained. And I'm willing to bet they still don't work.

So - let me get this straight…

They’ll ban social media for under 16s even though most experts say it WON’T work

But they won’t ban gambling advertising & other key recommendations even though most experts say it WILL work

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Mind you they need the fuel, and what a beautiful day when they finally put their phones away.
Two young teenagers playing kick to kick on vivid green grass. What a glorious day to be on holidays! Blue sky, white clouds, green grass-it was an effort to get them off their devices but they love it once they get out.

School holidays. Teenagers can sure eat-I had forgotten teen boys are bottomless pits and teen girls nearly as voracious.

What is wrong with our ABC News? Twice today I’ve listened to the news & heard rubbish from Scott Morrison, the Worst PM Ever, interviewed on #Murdoch’s Sky commenting on PNG & a Trump Peace Prize?!

We voted him out of office.
Why are we STILL getting “Morrison says…” on *our ABC*?

Please stop.

Breach? Sounds like people gave their data to the government on a promise of disaster support, the government gave their data and our money to a contractor on a promise of service provision, and the contractor gave their data to a tech business on a promise of slop.

Australia’s WORST PM Ever (yes, I know it’s a crowded field from HoWARd, to Abbott, Turnbull & MORrisON).

Why is our ABC News reporting this 💩? Over and above all the other major, significant, yet unreported, news events?!
