As I speak, we are a nation on the brink of war. A war we should not be in. A war to which 2000 of our fighting men and women were committed many months ago but were told about last Tuesday...

You know, once you get past the oligarchs and racists, normal humans are actually pretty good.

Double Tap? Double Depravity Truth is the first casualty of war, of course but there is one term in the lexicon of modern warfare, a liar’s bible, an ever-expanding dictionary of deception, a corporate-speak all set up to launder...

“Now for the question that should be burning a hole through every front page in this country, and is not: where is Australia in all of this?

The answer, which our government would prefer you not dwell on, is that we are in it up to our necks.”

As part of a MASH unit in Vietnam I sent a lot of young men home in bodybags. Years later I cared for soldiers exposed to Agent Orange. War isn't pretty or patriotic. It's ugly!

A year ago today, ex-Cyclone Alfred hit my city.The wind was bad in the afternoon (see tawnies in vid), and then much worse overnight. I felt deep dread about the tawnies’ chances of surviving it out there - it was wild. Was gobsmacked to see them all back the next morning, bedraggled but ok (pic) 🩶

Electrifying all road freight between Sydney and Melbourne is a no brainer: The payback is less than 4 years The economic case for electric trucks in Australia has become outstandingly clear over the past couple of years, and the payback period is just two to four years.

Slashing regulations

Purr-Print: Why Purrs Reveal More About Cats Than Meows - Profolus Scientists discovered that the purrs of cats are far more unique than their meows.

CATURDAY: Purrs are far more unique than meows. Biologists and behaviorists have found that domestic cats have decoupled their identities from their meows, probably because of domestication, while their purrs remain unique to each of them.

How long has it taken the Labor Party to consider raising the rate? To halting fossil fuels? To seriously address the racism to First Nations and Muslims?
