*adds Ben & Jerry's icecream to shopping list*
In 2014 wongari killer Andrew Powell was Campbell Newman's environment minister & was campaigning on such things as for Australians to boycott ice cream. #qldpol www.sbs.com.au/news/article...
Comment: Why does Andrew Powell want Queenslanders to boycott Ben & Jerry’s?
Ice cream brand Ben & Jerry's has been referred to the ACCC by the Queensland government, over what it claims is a misleading campaign over the fate of the Great Barrier Reef.

Loving Australia does not mean denying its history. You don’t get to cherry-pick only the comfortable parts and call it progress.
Loving Australia means wanting a national day that includes everyone, not demanding silence from those it excludes.

The names of the two non-Jewish Australians who were killed: Adam Smyth and Peter Meagher. They deserve to be remembered, too, and not as an after thought. The reckless politicisation of this terrorist act and conflation with Israel’s genocide has in fact prevented unity and promoted division.

It's reaching the point that those still in, should probably be the focus of attention
Just re-doing because Sarah Ferguson is also out. And when "What is wrong with this picture? Nothing" is out they might as well switch off the lights. Gives cover to the other ABC talking heads who have yet to do anything. Makes it abundantly clear the mainstream view is against the board decision

As a former Director of Adelaide Writers' Week I am appalled that the Adelaide Festival Board has rescinded Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's invitation to the 2026 AWW, explicitly linking its decision to the shattering crimes in Bondi.
A shocking decision that will and should have far-reaching consequences.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.
