EXCLUSIVE: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has released a revised version of his statement from earlier today.
The Australian government has always made it clear that we believe all innocent life matters, just not to the same degree obviously. Every Israeli and maybe one in every ten thousand or so Palestinians. Children are starving. After two years of aid and food being blocked to Gaza, we say that’s probably a bit too far and would like Israel to consider letting some through. Any talk of Israel adding new war crimes to their plans should be stopped. And not in the way that we said we ‘stopped’ arms trade with Israel but still let companies do it, we mean actually stopping the action. We want an immediate ceasefire involving the release of the hostages. If *passive voice* keeps refusing to sign one, we will be forced to introduce new sanctions on those who criticise Israel. Like the censure we handed down earlier this week. We say enough is enough and we hope those protesters outside our offices and inside the senate surrender soon. A two sate solution which involves recognising a Palestinian state has long had bipartisan support in Australia, except for when we voted against recognising a Palestinian state then kicked a woman out of our party for wanting to recognise Palestine... Then had the dirt unit publicly attack her. Australia is committed to a future where Israelis and Palestinians can live safely and freely. And until that day, we will do everything in our power to achieve that, besides taking any action at all. We hope that with statements like these we can see positive outcomes, in the form of headlines praising how it is stronger than our other statements. And one day be able to bring peace to the staffers who look after the complaints lines.

Have a look at Infinite Monkey Cage. Robin is one of the hosts, there is at least one episode with Alice

It occurs to me that despite both being fairly prolific podcasters, I don’t think I’ve ever heard them on the same show. Wouldn’t that be something?

@justinhamilton11.bsky.social Is it possible to schedule the ads in Big Squid podcast so that they are inserted in a logical break point instead of in the middle of a sentence? The way they interrupt mid-sentence often makes me lose the context of what you were saying

@justinhamilton11.bsky.social Re: Severance ep 4, might have missed it but in latest podcast was there any reference to Irving's dream where the numbers on screen changed to only 4 unique digits, which then changed to the letters A,C,G,T (DNA components)?

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard.

#MosaicMonday
A horrific image of a someone who seems to have his hands tied behind his back. A big cat (the predator kind, not the overfed pet kind) has jumped up at him and is devouring his face. Blood splashes on the floor.
