Idealist, advanced-in-age-and-wisdom (I hope), lefty but no longer holding illusions that pollies can be trusted. Or the oligarch media. Truth matters+++ !
Well said! Nailed it.

Someone needs to take one for the team, go over there, and correct the record. I’m not volunteering though😏.

Is there greater proof of the true nature of Aussie culture? We are still the land of the fair go, where mates help out mates.

Media and politicians, take note.

Cant help but contrast Menadue’s reaction to Netanyahu’s comment with JMassola‘s in today’s #smh.

Massola tells us that Netanyahu accused Australia of rewarding hatred, links it to recognising Palestine and then goes on to say “ whatever the merits of those arguments”…

Menadue by a country mile.

Hi depravity is writ large: every member of the GOP, every Republican member of Congress, is a concrete manifestation of Trump‘s depravity. They alone enable it. They could choose to end it right now.

I’d have to say, Sally, you helped me put the brakes on (somewhat poorly) my desire to lash out in anger yesterday.

It takes a super-human effort not to get drawn in to a bitter debate against perceived (!) jerks who don’t see things my (!) way in the blame game.

So, THANK YOU. Just sayin….

Oh for God’s sake, Susan! Grow up!

And 7.30 report just did their damnest to blame them too. For not being one step ahead of 2 scheming murderers among Australia’s 27.2million citizens. With a dose of subtle ISIS/muslim conflation thrown in, too.

Meanwhile, @7news are a pack of vile, divisive, troublemakers. I am so disgusted by their so-called “coverage”.

This! 👆 I have found young people very open to concepts of goodness and morality; they are usually quite idealistic and just need decent leadership and role models.

OK @albomp.bsky.social . Do a “Howard” and get gun ownership under control again.

I know you’ll find it hard taking a stand, but try.

With respect, Captain Kelly - higher than who? As a non-American in a nation that has standards too, I find this insulting.
December 14, 2025 at 8:41 PM
Completely agree with this. Thank you. Choosing goodness - or evil - is highly personal and any PERSON can do it, regardless of faith, or nationality or philosophy.

Till we stop the divisive labels, we will never see ourselves as one humanity. Sorry, Mr God, but you messed up on this post.

Each year, a koel arrives. To the exact same tree, and the exact same branch. I suspect the same bird. Remarkable.

Two different headlines. From she should resign, to she should be sacked. Massola’s a twit but it’s the sub-editors writing the headlines. Hence, SMH calling the shots.

“Independant. Always”.

Annika’s being scapegoated by those losing $s over kids’ media ban. Reddit’s suing over it! 🙄
December 12, 2025 at 3:16 AM
Care to comment, @jamesmassola.bsky.social?

Still demanding Annika’s resignation?

You lost me at “moron Biden”. I call BS from a closet ZMAGA. Or a bot. Blocking so I don’t waste any more of my time.
